date mask in cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am trying to upload a file using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload.

here is the interface for that

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD

EXPORTING

FILENAME = V_FILE

FILETYPE = 'DAT'

DAT_MODE = 'MM/DD/YYYY'

CHANGING

DATA_TAB = I_FILE

EXCEPTIONS

.........

What should I give in the DAT_MODE to get the date in MM/DD/YYYY format.

Thanks in advance.

Goldie.
