Hi,

If you specifiy the type of the parameter as of type SY-DATUM system will force user to enter the date in dd.mm.yyyy format only. It also stores that date in yyyymmdd format which you update in a field which has yyyymmdd format.

Hi Govind,

Based on the user defaults in the transaction SU01 the date will be verified based on the date format selected in the user details.

Declare the selection screen variable as of type Sy-DATUM.

what ever format you had entered the date in the selection screen the variable will hold the value in the format yyyymmdd.

no need to do any format for the date.

hope this might help you.

regards,

Phani.

Hi

Take the Help of this FM CONVERT_DATE_FORMAT

or alternately whatever the format the user enters convert yourself in the format you require in AT SELECTION-SCREEN event.

Hi ,

Based on the user defaults in the transaction SU01 the date will be verified based on the date

format selected in the user details.

Now U split the date and concatenate the date , month year value to your desired format.

Thanks
