What is the FM to convert system date format to DD-MON-YYYY ?
Format or DD.MON.YYYY format. Eg. 27-SEP-2006 or 27.SEP.2006.

You can use this FM :

DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE

or

Instead of function modules, you can follow this code :

  Types : begin of gty_vbrp,
  vbeln type vbrp-vbeln,
  abrbg type vbrp- abrbg,
  End of gty_vbrp.
  Data : gi_vbrp type standard table of gty_vbrp,
  gwa_vbrp type gty_vbrp.
  CONSTANTS: c_jan(3) TYPE c VALUE 'JAN',
  c_feb(3) TYPE c VALUE 'FEB',
  c_mar(3) TYPE c VALUE 'MAR',
  c_apr(3) TYPE c VALUE 'APR',
  c_may(3) TYPE c VALUE 'MAY',
  c_jun(3) TYPE c VALUE 'JUN',
  c_jul(3) TYPE c VALUE 'JUL',
  c_aug(3) TYPE c VALUE 'AUG',
  c_sep(3) TYPE c VALUE 'SEP',
  c_oct(3) TYPE c VALUE 'OCT',
  c_nov(3) TYPE c VALUE 'NOV',
  c_dec(3) TYPE c VALUE 'DEC',
  c_01(2) TYPE c VALUE '01',
  c_02(2) TYPE c VALUE '02',
  c_03(2) TYPE c VALUE '03',
  c_04(2) TYPE c VALUE '04',
  c_05(2) TYPE c VALUE '05',
  c_06(2) TYPE c VALUE '06',
  c_07(2) TYPE c VALUE '07',
  c_08(2) TYPE c VALUE '08',
  c_09(2) TYPE c VALUE '09',
  c_10(2) TYPE c VALUE '10',
  c_11(2) TYPE c VALUE '11',
  c_12(2) TYPE c VALUE '12'.

  DATA:
  lv_dd1(2) TYPE n,
  lv_dd2(3) TYPE c,
  lv_dd3(2) TYPE c,
  lv_dd4(2) TYPE c,
  lv_ddate(9) TYPE c.

This code is with in the loop. Now I am splitting the date from work area to local variables:

  loop at gi_item into gwa_item.
  MOVE: gwa_item_fv-abrbg+2(2) TO lv_dd1,
  gwa_item_fv-abrbg+4(2) TO lv_dd4,
  gwa_item_fv-abrbg+6(2) TO lv_dd3.
  CASE: lv_dd4.
  WHEN c_01.
  MOVE c_jan TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_02.
  MOVE c_feb TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_03.
  MOVE c_mar TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_04.
  MOVE c_apr TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_05.
  MOVE c_may TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_06.
  MOVE c_jun TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_07.
  MOVE c_jul TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_08.
  MOVE c_aug TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_09.
  MOVE c_sep TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_10.
  MOVE c_oct TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_11.
  MOVE c_nov TO lv_dd2.
  WHEN c_12.
  MOVE c_dec TO lv_dd2.
  ENDCASE.
  ………………
  endloop.
