here is the sample code that i have used in a program..

datfm -- Date format

dcpfm -- Decimal format

select single datfm dcpfm

from usr01

into (wa_datfm, wa_dcpfm )

where bname eq sy-uname.

case wa_datfm.

when 1.

concatenate lw_date6 lw_date3(2) lw_date+0(2) into lw_date.

when 2 or 3.

concatenate lw_date6 lw_date0(2) lw_date+3(2) into lw_date.

when 4 or 5 or 6.

translate lw_date using '. / - '.

condense lw_date no-gaps.

endcase.

Hi,

chk the Functuon module:

DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY Check to see if a date is in a valid format for SAP. Works well when validating dates being passed in from other systems.

Hi Keerthi,

Thanks a lot for reply.

I already acheived this by using one FM "SLS_MISC_CONVERT_TO_DATE".

My program is working fine. But my requirement is that when user enters the date irrespective of it's user setting then the program behaves as per the results I shown in bold below.For such results I have to match the user setting and as it's not proper (as shown in bold) I need to show an error message message.

So if there is any FM or logic that I want to know.

User settings DD.MM.YYYY

l_date before 18.04.2007

l_date after 18.04.2007

l_date before 18042007

l_date after 18.04.2007

<b>l_date before 04/18/2007

l_date after 00.2.418

l_date before 04182007

l_date after 7 .00.4182</b>

User settings MM/DD/YYYY

l_date before 04/18/2007

l_date after 04182007

l_date before 04182007

l_date after 04182007

<b>l_date before 18.04.2007

l_date after 4.2018.0

l_date before 18042007

l_date after 20071804</b>

first convert all the data into only one format that YYYYMMDD

by using key word WRITE to.

check documentation by pressing F1 on write,

after that u can call FMs.
