Hi All,     Here in Write  Statement I only need to chage DDMMYY with DD/MM/YYYY, but one question, as BLDAT taking 8 char and DD/MM/YYYY will take 10 char so in internal table data declaration while declaring bldat need to put like: DATA: t_dat(10)  LIKE BSID-BLDAT. Pls suggest me as code is alo attached. Thanks and Regards Sankil

Hi Sankil,

Write a code like below.

PARAMETERS: P_DATE TYPE MKPF-BUDAT.
DATA: DATE1(8) TYPE C.

WRITE P_DATE TO DATE1 DDMMYY.
WRITE DATE1.

Date separators depend upon the user parameters maintained in transaction SU3.

However if you want to display date always as DD/MM/YYYY, than you can try something like this

DATA : LV_DATE TYPE CHAR10.
CONCATENATE sy-datum+6(2) sy-datum+4(2) sy-datum+0(4) into LV_DATE 
SEPARATED BY '/'

Thanks, Abhinab

HI sankil,

You just want to write the date right ??

Try writing the write statement as this ,

data: date type  BSID-BLDAT.

WRITE:   date USING EDIT MASK '__/__/____'.

Check this example...

DATA : v_date(10) TYPE c,

        i_date(8) TYPE c,

        day(2) TYPE c,

        month(2) TYPE c,

        year(4) TYPE c,

        result(12) TYPE c.

i_date = 201213.

day = i_date+1(2).

month = i_date+3(2).

year = i_date+5(2).

year = year + 2000.

concatenate day '/' month '/' year into v_date.

WRITE v_date.

Hi Sankil Pandiya,

                          SAP standard format is DDMMYYYY like this only.. while printing or writing it will become DD.MM.YYYY . if you need to print as your desired format mean you have to code little bit.

Consider:

DATA: date TYPE sy-datum .
data: date_new(10).

date = sy-datum.
CONCATENATE date+6(2) '/' date+4(2) '/' date+0(4) INTO date_new.

WRITE : DATE_NEW .

let me know after facing the same problem.

hi sankil

BSID-BLDAT is a DATS type variable.

for DATS the input length is 8 but the output length is 10. so you dont have to make any changes in the declaration. it will automatically print in DD/MM/YYYY format.

for test purpose you can try this piece of code.

TABLES:

   BSID.

PARAMETERS:

   p_date TYPE BSID-BLDAT.

write:/ p_date.
