[Former Member]

hi

instead of u know cutting the YYYY and MM and DD and concatement them again

write sy_datum to var_c_10 DD/MM/YYYY.

Hi,

You can use FM CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT. This will always convert from system format (YYYYMMDD) to actual user format (whatever set for the user, actually using the program).

Hope this will help.

Harshit Agrawal Why not using the official and documented feature:

write sy_datum to var_c_10.

(without DD/MM/YYYY means the current user date format)

Hi ,

See this piece of code

Data : w_date type dats value '20080903', 
          w_date1(10),
Constants : C(1) value '.'.
w_date1 = w_date.

concatenate w_date+6(2) w_date+4(2) w_date+0(4) into w_date1 separated by C.

Write : / w_date1.

With Regards.

Hi,

if you just want to convert the date into the user format (user settings) you can use string expressions:

data date type d value '20190718'.
data(l_user_format) = |{ date date = USER }|. "RAW, ISO, USER, ENVIRONMENT
write l_user_format.

I know, the the question is very old, i just want to add new possibilities.

Great! Exactly what I was looking for. As long as it suits the simplest and most beautiful way to achieve time conversion.

Just adding:
you can also avoid the literals at all, using the constants of class CL_ABAP_FORMAT:

    DATA(current_time) = sy-uzeit.
    WRITE:/ |Time: { current_time }|.
    WRITE:/ |Time (User format):        { current_time TIME = (cl_abap_format=>t_user) } |.
    WRITE:/ |Time (Environment format): { current_time TIME = (cl_abap_format=>t_environment) } |.
    WRITE:/ |Time (ISO format):         { current_time TIME = (cl_abap_format=>t_iso) } |.
