Hi,

Use keyword Concatenate to change the date pattern

Hope this might help

Try function module CONVERSION_EXIT_INVDT_OUTPUT.

Hi,

u can either use EDIT MASK '__.__-____' OPTION WHEN U loop the internal table

and display the date field on the basic list .

or

use FM CONVERSION_EXIT_INVDT_OUTPUT.

or

DATA:
   w_dat  TYPE tcurr-gdatu.

SELECT gdatu FROM tcurr INTO w_dat.
ENDSELECT.

write: w_dat.

THANKS

Hi ,

Make the user date format dd.mm.yyyy.

Then write this code to convert it.

DATA : w_date TYPE d VALUE '20091220',
       w_converted TYPE sy-datum.
MOVE w_date TO w_converted .
WRITE w_converted.

Hi,

Substract this date from 99999999 and then use function module CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL to convert it into external format or use function module CONVERSION_EXIT_INVDT_OUTPUT.

Hi ,

I Apologies for last post .By mistake I thought that you need to change only the format and thats why I posted the last code .

Any way I did it .

First you need to substract the date from 99999999.

Then you need to convert it in current format by moving it into a variable of type SY-DATUM.

Check the code - -

DATA : w_date TYPE tcurr-gdatu VALUE '79919698',
       w_converted TYPE sy-datum.

w_date = 99999999 - w_date .  " Getting original date

MOVE w_date TO w_converted .  " Converting date to current user format
WRITE w_converted.

Note : In user profile the date should be in dd.mm.yyyy format.

Otherwise the date will come on current user format
