Hi ,

This is the example taken from this forum.

*Get the joining date of the employees

CALL FUNCTION 'RP_GET_HIRE_DATE'

EXPORTING

persnr = it_overseas-empno

check_infotypes = '0000'

IMPORTING

hiredate = it_overseas-doj.

If you search the forum by giving the name of the function module in Forum search , you will get one more HR related qn. other than yours.

In that, they are using this fn. module .

The problem you have is that the hire date is not stored in infotype 0000, but in infotype 0041 (Date specifications) If you call the function module they same way you are doing it and instead of passing check_infotypes = 0000 use check_infotypes = 0041, it should work.

Let me know if this helps.

Why cannot be used the function module HRENTRYDATE? (Sorry, for generic name, don't remember the exact name).

it will be 'HR_ENTRY_DATE'
