Hi All,

I have a issue regarding <b>Date</b> formatting.

At present i am getting date in SAP format to my internal table field. Format is <b>[YYYYMMDD]</b> <i>ex:</i> <b>20050902</b>.

I want to make that field in following format as : <b>DD-MMM-YYYY</b> <i>ex:</i> <b>02-SEP-2005</b>.

can any body solve my issue.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards,

Rayeezuddin.

Please read the SAP Documentation by pressing F1 on the key word WRITE.

(in an Unix world, the answer will be RTFM)

Hi,

I had tried with that option but did not worked.

Any other solution without using any function module.

Thanks & Regards,

Use the function module as given below.

data: w_date(10).

call function 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

exporting

date_internal = <- Field in YYYYMMDD format

importing

date_external = w_date

exceptions

date_internal_is_invalid = 1

others = 2.

Hi,

Can you try CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT?

Another way is to get the month name using 'MONTH_NAMES_GET and concatenate date and year with it.

Thanks

• Using Function modules

************************

data: gd_date(8).

"field to store output date

• Converts date from 20010901 to 01SEP2001

gd_date = sy-datum.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

input = gd_date

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = gd_date.

Hi,

The FM <b>'CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT'</b> giving ouput as <b>SEP012001</b> instead of <b>01SEP2001</b> when giving input as <b>20010901</b>.

Do we need to make any changes to get it as 01SEP2001.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

This the code

REPORT ztest2.

data: mydate type d,

mychar(11).

data C_T247 type T247 occurs 0 with header line.

mydate = sy-datum.

call function 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'

TABLES

MONTH_NAMES = C_T247

EXCEPTIONS

others = 9.

READ TABLE C_T247 WITH KEY MNR = mydate+4(2).

concatenate mydate6(2) C_T247-KTX mydate0(4) into mychar

separated by '-'.

write mychar.

Output: 02-SEP-2005
