Please check the below code:

RDATE = DATE1 - DATE2.

or

RDATE = DATE1 - 18.

Hi,

Use FM RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL.

DATA: 
  W_DATE1 LIKE SY-DATUM,
  W_DATE2 LIKE SY-DATUM.
                                           
  W_DATE1 = '20080909'.
                                          
CALL FUNCTION 'RP_CALC_DATE_IN_INTERVAL'
  EXPORTING
    DATE      = W_DATE1
    DAYS      = 18
    MONTHS    = 0
    SIGNUM    = '-'
    YEARS     = 0
  IMPORTING
    CALC_DATE = W_DATE2.
                                              
 WRITE: 
   W_DATE2.
