I have date coming up of form "04/25/06" which I want to convert into sy-datum (20060425) format. Can you guys help me how?

Thanks in advance.

You can use the CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL function module.

report zrich_0001.


data: date(10) type c value '06/15/06'.
data: the_date type sy-datum.

call function 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
     exporting
          date_external = date
     importing
          date_internal = the_date.


write:/ the_date.

hi Nuren,

Use FM <b>CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL</b>

CALL FUNCTION <b>'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'</b>

date_external = input

IMPORTING

date_internal = output

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE e888(fk) RAISING wrong_input.

ENDIF.

DATA: v_year(4) TYPE n.

MOVE my_input_date+6(2) TO v_year.
IF v_year > sy-datum+2(2). <-- assuming the input date will not be in future
  v_year = v_year + 1900.
ELSE.
  v_year = v_year + 2000.
ENDIF.
CONCATENATE v_year
            my_input_date+0(2)
            my_input_date+3(2)
       INTO my_target_date.
