You can use the string operations to convert the date which you get in string to the you system specific date format.

Try this function module.

REPORT ztest_notepad.
DATA:date_str TYPE string.
DATA:date_i   TYPE datum.

date_str = '24.10.2009'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
     EXPORTING
          date_external            = date_str
     IMPORTING
          date_internal            = date_i
     EXCEPTIONS
          date_external_is_invalid = 1
          OTHERS                   = 2.

Thanks venkat.O
