Disobey the user profile date setting in module pool

Question

Hi all,
I am working on a module pool. I have a request to disobey the user profile date setting dd/mm/yyyy to user requested date format dd-mm-yyyy.
I understand that it can easily be done in SAPScript with command SET DATE MAST dd-mm-yyyy, but how to do it in module pool?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Wong.
Follow the Steps Bellow
--> Copy Search Help BU_DATE_CHAR to ZBU_DATE_CHAR using T-Code SE11
--> Copy FM BUS_TOOLS_DATE_CHAR_EXIT to Z_BUS_TOOLS_DATE_CHAR_EXIT using T-Code SE37
--> Open ZBU_DATE_CHAR in Change mode and add Z_ in the Start of Search help exit FM as we have copy new
--> Active ZBU_DATE_CHAR it will not give you any Error message may be one Warning message but Ignore this.
--> Active Z_BUS_TOOLS_DATE_CHAR_EXIT my will give you error message do the following Change
     in Changing Tab SHIP type SHLP_DESCR    " Change the Previous type with this one.
     in Tables Tab SHLP_TAB type SHLP_DESCT  " Change the Previous type with this one.-->
--> After doing above changes.
--> Add the following line of Code on line number 92 just before the line APPEND record_tab.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '.' in record_tab-string WITH '-'.
--> Activate both Search Help and FM
now in the Search help filed in Module Pool you where using BU_DATE_CHAR use ZBU_DATE_CHAR
I did the above way and it is working fine this way now When i Press F4 and select some date it show in the Field like 01-01-2009 Previously it was showing me 01.01.2009
Please Reply if any problem,
