Hi,

Use FM to convert the format

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

Hi Jayasimha,

You can use offset method for this.

xyz4(4) = sy-datum0(4).

xyz2(2) = sy-datum4(2).

xyz0(2) = sy-datum6(2).

Try this

Data: abc(10).

Concatenate sy-datum6(2) sy-datum4(2) sy-datum(4) into abc.

Write : / abc.
