Sethil,

Use your date(let us say Date1) instead of sy-datum.

CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'

• EXPORTING

• LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

• IMPORTING

• RETURN_CODE =

TABLES

MONTH_NAMES = itab_month

• EXCEPTIONS

• MONTH_NAMES_NOT_FOUND = 1

• OTHERS = 2

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

READ TABLE itab_month

WITH KEY MNR = date1+4(2).

itab_month-LTX will contain the value you are looking for

Good luck

If you have date in some field say l_date and see below code

CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'

• EXPORTING

• LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

• IMPORTING

• RETURN_CODE =

TABLES

MONTH_NAMES = itab_month

• EXCEPTIONS

• MONTH_NAMES_NOT_FOUND = 1

• OTHERS = 2

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

READ TABLE itab_month

WITH KEY MNR = l_date+4(2).

if sy-subrc = 0.

l_month = itab_month-<monthfield>

endif.

now l_month will have month.
