Hi,

Use the Calendar class.

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, 1970);

cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, 0);

cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);

java.sql.Date d=new Date(cal.getTimeInMillis());

pass the d to RFC which will take 01-01-1970 as the date.

You can use the current date for passing the sql date to R/3 input parameter using following code

java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeInMilliSeconds());

For user defined date use :

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");

java.util.Date enteredDate = dateFormat.parse("15-Nov-09");

java.sql.Date sDt = new java.sql.Date(enteredDate.getTime());

And then pass this sDt to R/3.

When you pass a date to r/3 you pass a date object which means that the date format is irrelevant.

The date object sent to r/3 is based on java.sql.Date.

If you need a represantion on the screen you can use a custom data dictionary date.
