Hello,

You can try it as below :

string str.

date1 = 2006.12.11

str = date1.

str+8(2) = '01'.

or you can use some stanrdard functions for this change.

Thanks.

Hello,

You can use the sub-string operation.

data v_date type sy-datum value sy-datum.

here v_date = 20061212

v_date+6(2) = '01'.

here v_date = 20061201

The above code will change 2 characters from the seventh characters onwards. In this case day.

try this


REPORT YCHATEST LINE-SIZE 350.

DATA : V_DATE LIKE SY-DATUM,
       V_START_DATE(10).

V_DATE = SY-DATUM.

CONCATENATE V_DATE+0(4) V_DATE+4(2) '01' INTO V_START_DATE SEPARATED BY '.'.

WRITE : V_START_DATE.

Hi Shashank ,

Since the variable containing date will be of type DATUM and the internal rep of it is YYYYMMDD , so date like 22.12.2006 will be rep as 20061222.

Now if you want to convert it to 01.12.2006 all you have to do it

v_date+6(2) = '01'. where v_date is the variable storing the date.
