ABAP Tips by : Kiran

Currently my date is getting printed in format 05262005.
I want the output as 26 May, 2005.
I have tried using Set date mask option but it is not picking up in the output.

Code:

This code yields as 12 march 2006.

DATA: ZTEMP(9). 

CLEAR: ZTEMP, ZDD, ZMMM, ZYYYY. 

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT' 
EXPORTING 
INPUT = IS_DLV_DELNOTE-HD_GEN-CREA_DATE 
IMPORTING 
OUTPUT = ZTEMP. 

ZDD = ZTEMP+3(2). 
ZMMM = ZTEMP+0(3). 
ZYYYY = ZTEMP+5(4).
