Hi,

Actually, I want to store a date into a character or alphanumeric field.

Lets say, BKPF-BUDAT is a date field. I have a custom field (Characteristic in COPA) into which I want the date field to be moved. Hope I am clear about it. Also, if you can, please give me an idea as to how to add a custom characteristic in COPA0005 (EXIT_SAPLKEII_001) exit.

Thanks,

John.

hi,

u can use <b>MOVE</b> starement ... type conversion is done automatically ...for example

date is 04/30/2007 means the result will be 20070430

Hi Developers,

data :date(2) type c.

data:month(2) type c.

data:year(4) type c.

data:rer_date(12) type c.

your date is bkpf-budat.

clear :month date year.

move bkpf-budat+0(2) to date.

move bkpf-budat+3(2) to month.

move bkpf-budat+6(4) to year.

clear:rer_date

concatenate year month date into rer_date.

Thanks,
