REPLACE all occurences of '.' in date_field with ''.

DATA: w_var(10) TYPE c.
w_var = '31.12.2008'.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '.' in w_var WITH '' .
WRITE / w_var.

Hi ben,

Replace will only remove .(dots) and give the date as 23092008 but the internal date format is 20080923.

So use the FM CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL to convert a date to internal format.

Revert Back if you have doubts.

hi

DATA :
   w_d TYPE d,
   w_d1 TYPE sy-datum.


w_d1 = sy-datum.

CONCATENATE w_d1+0(4) w_d1+4(2) w_d1+6(2) INTO w_d.

WRITE :
  / w_d.

Hi,

Try like this:

data: fld1(12) type c,

fld2(12) type c,

fld3(2) type c,

fld4(2) type c,

fld5(4) type c.

fld1 = '23.09.2008'.

fld3 = fld1+0(2).

fld4 = fld1+3(2).

fld5 = fld1+6(4).

concatenate fld3 fld4 fld5 into fld2.

write: / fld1,

/ fld2.
