Try this FM CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL.

[rahulkavuri]

u can use the convert_date_to_external but there is another method

data: ur_date(10).

ur_date = sy-datum.

data: v_date like sy-datum.

write: ur_date to v_date.

WRITE v_date.

This will convert the date into user defined date format type

say dd/mm/yyyy or dd.mm.yyyy, whatever may be the user defined format..

Formatting options can be used like

write:/ v_date DD/MM/YYYY.

Hi Salahuddin Syed,

If u need any of these formats DD/MM/YY, MM/DD/YY, DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY, DDMMYY, MMDDYY, YYMMDD then U can use the simple statement as shown below.

DATA:

char(10) type c.

write sy-datum to char dd/mm/yyyy.

If U want the other options then u can use the edit mask.

Hi,

Try with this:

FORM set_text_date.

DATA: month(9),

year(4),

date(2).

CASE p_frd+4(2).

WHEN '01'.

month = 'January'.

WHEN '02'.

month = 'February'.

WHEN '03'.

month = 'March'.

WHEN '04'.

month = 'April'.

WHEN '05'.

month = 'May'.

WHEN '06'.

month = 'June'.

WHEN '07'.

month = 'July'.

WHEN '08'.

month = 'August'.

WHEN '09'.

month = 'September'.

WHEN '10'.

month = 'October'.

WHEN '11'.

month = 'November'.

WHEN '12'.

month = 'December'.

WHEN OTHERS.

ENDCASE.

WRITE p_frd+0(4) TO year.

WRITE p_frd+6(2) TO date.

CONCATENATE month date ',' year INTO return_date SEPARATED BY space.

CONDENSE return_date.

ENDFORM.
