HI ,

util date is a superclass of sql date.

util date will be in yyyy-mm-dd format while sql date is in yyyy/mm/dd format by default.

If u create a date type context variable in Webdynpro, it will be sql date by default. sql date is commonly used for date values in back end. If u import a date variable from an RFC, it will be of sql date..
