Regarding Date conversion

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Can any one tell me how to convert date from one format to another...

I have a date in the format dd.mm.yyyy

I would like to convert this into yyyy.mm.dd

Is there any function module to do this.

please send me the full details..

thanks and regards

Hi Raghu Danda,

Try this code.

data: str1 type string,

str2 type string.

str1 = 10.06.2006

10.06.2006

0123456789

concatenate str16(4) '.' str13(2) '.' str1.0(2) into str2.

write str2.

str2 will be in the format yyyy.mm.dd

i.e. 2006.06.10

Hope it solves your problem.

Use any of the foll. FM

You pass your internal table date format dd.mm.yyyy to Function module CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL

to get the date format as yyyymmdd.

HRGPBS_HESA_DATE_FORMAT

Format a date valid for HESA: DD/MM/YYYY

HRGPBS_TPS_DATE_FORMAT

Format a date valid for TPS: DDMMYY

SLS_MISC_GET_USER_DATE_FORMAT

get the date format the user has defined as his/her default

Use write statement.

use f1 or goto pattarn -> WRITE -> FIELD(specify name)->

Multiple selection(yellow arrow button button)-> for date fields (Chck box and radio button)

WRITE - Formatting options

... DD/MM/YY

... MM/DD/YY

... DD/MM/YYYY

... MM/DD/YYYY

... DDMMYY

... MMDDYY

... YYMMDD

U can use into another variable.

and then use that particular variable.

DATA: lv_date(10) type c, fi_date(10) type c.lv_date = '2006.03.02'.CONCATENATE lv_date8(2) '.' lv_date5(2) '.' lv_date+0(4) into fi_date.write: fi_date.

Date formatting

The following code demonstrates a number of ways to format a date value:

• Using the WRITE statement

***************************

  data: gd_date(10). 
 "field to store output date

* Converts date from 20020901 to 01.09.2002
  write sy-datum to gd_date dd/mm/yyyy.
<b>* Converts date from 20020901 to 2002/09/01
  write sy-datum to gd_date yyyy/mm/dd.</b>
* Converts date from 20020901 to 01.09.02
  write sy-datum to gd_date dd/mm/yy.

• Using data manipulation techniques

************************************

  data: gd_date(8).  "field to store output date

* Converts date from 20010901 to 01092001
  gd_date(2)   = sy-datum+6(2).
  gd_date+2(2) = sy-datum+4(2).
  gd_date+4(4) = sy-datum(4).

• Using Function modules

************************

  data: gd_date(8).  "field to store output date

• Converts date from 20010901 to 01SEP2001

  gd_date   = sy-datum.
  CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT'
    EXPORTING
      input         = gd_date
    IMPORTING
      OUTPUT        = gd_date.

HOPE THIS SOLVES UR PROBLEM. Reward and close teh thraed if ur problem got solved.

Hi Raghu,

Use RP_FORMATING_DATE.

The internal format usually will be in yyyymmdd format..

IN that case, you can use edit mask to print it in yyyy.mm.dd format..

ex:

data: datum(11).

datum = sy-datum.

write:/ date using edit mask '____.__.__'.
