Hi,

If you want to use FM, then try FM RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL.

data: wa_date like sy-datum.

call function 'RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL'

exporting

date = sy-datum

days = 3

months = 0

signum = '+'

years = 0

importing

calc_date = wa_date.

write: / wa_date.

Hi Kavitha,

There is no need of any FM for this.

We can directly add the Value.

Eg.

V_DATE1 = V_DATE1 + 3.

This will add the no of days. It automatically takes the no of days in a month into consideration.

hi kavitha,

use the following code...

DATA : dt LIKE sy-datum.

CALL FUNCTION 'CALCULATE_DATE'

EXPORTING

days = '+3'

months = '0'

start_date = date you retrieved

IMPORTING

result_date = dt.

make sure , teh date you retrieved is in sy-datum format.

HI,

You can use FM <b>RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL</b>.

For Eg,

data: wa_date like sy-datum.

*Add 21 days to current date.

call function 'RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL'

exporting

date = sy-datum

days = 3

months = 0

signum = '+'

years = 0

importing

calc_date = wa_date.

write: / wa_date.

Hello Kavitha,

For this simple thing no need to use function module.

Just add no_days to the date field.

If it is the end of the month, automatically updated to the next month.

Reward If Helpful

hi

First you need to get the data into internal format. Then you can just add 3 days to it.

data: date(10) type c value '03/27/2006'.

data: datum type sy-datum.

start-of-selection.

call function 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'

exporting

date_external = date

importing

date_internal = datum.

datum = datum + 3.

write:/ datum.

reward points for useful ans
