What are you doing if a user chooses date format 2 in his settings? Relying on a special date format is bad. A function module should be generic, so the format D or DATS is ok as type.

20100212 in YYYYMMDD is sap internal format when you declare the data type as d . generally this wil be used for calculation and validations no harm done :).

you can use convdateinternal and convdateexternal Fm's to modify the date in ur user settings .

'12.02.2010' if u want to validate this date in this format then it should be handled with character format in ur datatype.
