exporting datum = '12/12/2006'

dtype = 'DATS'

importing idate = v_date. "v_date should be of type sy-datum or chracter field of length 8

hi

Please u can use the following

CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL for converting the date from external format to inernal format

CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL for converting the date from internal format to external format

By the way this process will automatically convert the date into Internal format of the system, award points if found helpful

Dear skk,

Try this Function Module:

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