Answer 1

actually by using dats or d type you can get the user specific date itself.
but if u have different dates format that need to be converted to the user specific date then you can follow below procedure
1. retrieve the user format from usr01
    SELECT SINGLE datfm
      INTO w_datfm
      FROM usr01
     WHERE bname EQ sy-uname.
pass w_datfm to the below FM (4th import parameter)
2. create Z - FM and retrieve the user secific date
FUNCTION ZFXX_USER_SPECIFIC_DATE.
""Local Interface:
*"  IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(IW_DAY) TYPE  CHAR2
*"     VALUE(IW_MONTH) TYPE  CHAR2
*"     VALUE(IW_YEAR) TYPE  CHAR4
*"     VALUE(IW_DATFM) TYPE  USR01-DATFM
*"  EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(EW_USER_DATE) TYPE  CHAR0008
*1  DD.MM.YYYY
*2  MM/DD/YYYY
*3  MM-DD-YYYY
*4  YYYY.MM.DD
*5  YYYY/MM/DD
*6  YYYY-MM-DD
CASE iw_datfm.
  when '1'.
    concatenate iw_day iw_month iw_year
           into ew_user_date.
  when '2'.
    concatenate iw_month iw_day iw_year
           into ew_user_date.
  when '3'.
    concatenate iw_month iw_day iw_year
           into ew_user_date.
  when '4'.
    concatenate iw_year iw_month iw_day
           into ew_user_date.
  when '5'.
    concatenate iw_year iw_month iw_day
           into ew_user_date.
  when '6'.
    concatenate iw_year iw_month iw_day
           into ew_user_date.
  when others.
    clear ew_user_date.
endcase.
ENDFUNCTION.
