Hi Sas,
you are using FM CONVERSION_EXIT_LDATE_OUTPUT.
the import parameter u r getting is in following format of Date " March 21 , 2009 ".
what u have to do is just pass this import parameter to a variable declared as String  Or a variable declared as character of size 15.
Example-
Data : Dat        type string.     " OR
data :  Dat1(50) type c.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_LDATE_OUTPUT'
  EXPORTING
    INPUT         =  Date1
IMPORTING
  OUTPUT        = Date2.
DAT =  Date2.    " or
Dat1 = Date2.
Condense  DAT.
Condense Dat1.
Now both DAT and Dat1 would be downloaded as u require.
                                          or
Declare Date2 directly as  " data :  Date2(50) type c "
and after u get the result condense the same i.e
Condense date2.
