Hi paleti,
you want output "28 . 01 . 2007 -- 09 : 36 . 16 " dots and colons with leading and trailing space.
OK, why not?
data:
  lv_date_txt type text40,
  lv_time_txt type text40,
  lv_date_time type string.
write:
  sy-datum to lv_date_txt,
  sy-uzeit to lv_time_txt.
replace ':' with '.' in section offset 5 of lv_time_txt. "Because you want "36 . 16"
concatenate
'Date and Time:'
  lv_date_txt
  ` -- ` "<b>Note: ` not ' will protect the spaces!!</b>
  lv_time_txt
into lv_date_time.
replace all occurrences of '.' with ' . ' in lv_date_time,
replace all occurrences of ':' with ' . ' in lv_date_time.
write: /  lv_date_time.
This was just the 'worst' part with the date and time formatting. The rest you can do in the same way: Just use the special string delimiter ` (french accent grave). This will protect leading and trailing spaces from deletion with CONCATENATE.
I don't what keyboard layout you use. That's why I can't tell you where to find this ` character on your keyboard. Check your <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout">Keyboard layout</a>. On US keyboards, it is the top left key above the TAB key.
Hope this helps you to do the rest.
