Depending on your final goal here are 2 options.

DATA: datein        TYPE d.
DATA: dateout(10)   TYPE c.
DATA: dateout2(8)   TYPE c.

datein = sy-datum.
WRITE datein TO dateout MM/DD/YYYY.
dateout2 = datein.
WRITE:/ datein, dateout, dateout2.

and the output

05022008 05/02/2008 20080502

try this code:

data : v_date like sy-datum,

v_char(8) type c.

v_char = v_date.

Hi

Do in this way.

DATA: gv_date TYPE sy-datum '20080501'.

DATA: gv_date_c(10) TYPE c.

CONCATENATE gv_date6+(2) gv_date+4(2) gv_date(4) INTO gv_date_c  SEPARATED BY '.'.

WRITE: gv_date_c

data: v_Date type sy-datum,

v_char(10) type c.

v_date = sy-datum.

v_char = v_date.

concatenate v_char6(2) v_char4(2) v_char+0(4) into v_char separated by '.'.

write: / v_char.
