No need to use this FM(SUBTRACT_TIME_FROM_DATE) u can do this directly by using simple abap code:

data: l_date like sy-datum,

l_days type i.

l_date = sy-datum.

l_days = 2.

l_date = l_date - l_days.

Hi,

Yes, You can directly subract the days from the date.

data : date type sy-datum value '20080910',

days type i,

new_date type sy-datum.

days = 3.

new_date = date - days.

write 😕 new_date.

Pass date in internal format.

l_lndat = '20080814'.
