Hi Sunil,
To dispaly the Date form System Format to User Format the FM 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL' is used.
Consider this code.
REPORT zztest_arun_2.
DATA: e_date(10) type c VALUE '2/2/2006',
      i_date(10).
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
  EXPORTING
    date_external            = e_date
  IMPORTING
    date_internal            = i_date
  EXCEPTIONS
    date_external_is_invalid = 1
    OTHERS                   = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
  MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
          WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
WRITE : / 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL',
        / 'My   Date:' , e_date  ,
          'Conv Date:',  i_date.
          skip 2.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL'
  EXPORTING
    DATE_INTERNAL                  = sy-datum
  IMPORTING
    DATE_EXTERNAL                  = e_date
  EXCEPTIONS
    DATE_INTERNAL_IS_INVALID       = 1
    OTHERS                         = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
WRITE : / 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL',
         / 'My   Date:' , sy-datum,
           'Conv Date:',  e_date.
