If I understood ur requirement correctly, the code below should work

data:

v_dat(6),

v_date(10).

v_dat = '070413'.

concatenate '20' v_dat(2) v_dat2(2) v_dat+4(2) into v_date.

write:v_date.

<b>Note</b>:i've <b>hard coded</b> the value '20', change that according to ur requirement

Hi Megan,

Simple code:

v_datum like sy-datum.

concatenate '20' v_dat0(2) v_dat2(2) v_dat+4(2) into v_datum.

write v_datum.

Hope this helps.

concatenate '20' v_dat+(2) v_dat+2(2) v_dat+4(2) into v_date.

What does 20 stand for here ?

Hi Megan,

20 stands for the first characters of the year.

This year is 2007 know, so 20 is the first two characters in the year.

So, when 20 is concatenating with 07, it becomes 2007 which is the current year.

Thanks,

'20' stands for the first 2 characters of the century, i.e., '20'07, if the date is in 20th century then u've to use '19'...
