you can also use a simple conversion like:

DATA: dat1(10),
      dat2(10).

write sy-datum to dat1.

concatenate dat1+6(4) dat1+3(2) dat1(2) into dat2.

if you are very sure of DATE format is like given below,

use the OFFSET .

ex :

data : v_date(10) type c value '10.12.2005',

v_datum type sy-datum.

concatenate v_date+6(4)

v_date+3(2)

v_date+0(2)

into v_datum

NOW v_datum will have 20051210.

Hi Liat,

There's a function called CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT

which will convert the date you entered to the system format of YYYYMMDD. For the parameter DTYPE use 'DATS'.

Also, the date must be in the format that is specified under Defaults of your user profile otherwise you'll get an exception of invalid date.
