I have a date dd.mm.yyyy

I need to convert it to 6 digits and display it

should i use format_date(6) type i ?

how do i do the conversion

hi,

Use offset for that

data : v_date type sy-datum value '20070101'.

 v_date = v_date+0(6).

write v_date.

data : v_date(10) value '21.03.2007',
         v_date1(6),
         v_int type i.

concatenate v_date+3(2) v_date+0(2) v_date+8(2) into v_date1.

v_int = v_date1.

write : v_int.

isnt there some built in function that i can use

so regardless of the format of the input date, my output is mmddyy

Hi,

Please try this.

data: v_date(6) type c.

v_date+0(2) = sy-datum+4(2).
v_date+2(2) = sy-datum+6(2).
v_date+4(2) = sy-datum+2(2).

write: / v_date.

or 

write: / sy-datum MMDDYY.

then do this way ..

data : v_date(10) type c value '10.10.2007 '.
 
concatenate v_date+0(2) v_date+3(2) v_date+8(2) into v_date  
 
write v_date.

data: v_date(6) type c.
v_date+0(2) = sy-datum+4(2).
v_date+2(2) = sy-datum+6(2).
v_date+4(2) = sy-datum+2(2).
write: / v_date.
or 
write: / sy-datum MMDDYY.

I am looking for something like the last write statement

But I need to be able to save it in a variable

[Former Member]

Hi ,

you can use get it into a variable with the following statement

write sy-datum MMDDYY to v_date.

if current date is 03/21/2007

the value in v_date will be 030207.

This is all you need to do.

DATA: v_date(6).

WRITE sy-datum TO v_date.

WRITE: v_date.

This will write the date into v_date based on the user profile.

Hi,

You need to use offset and store the final result to your variable.

data: v_date(6) type c.
 
v_date+0(2) = sy-datum+4(2).
v_date+2(2) = sy-datum+6(2).
v_date+4(2) = sy-datum+2(2).
 
write: / v_date.
 
move v_date to  ...

or 

write: / sy-datum MMDDYY to v_date.

Any update on this issue?
