Re: sy-datum why it is using y=4(2)

HI,

     It is an Offset that means Extract Character starting from position <number outside paranthesis> till <number of charcters > inside paranthesis.

sydatum stores : date in format yyyymmdd

     so

     dt + 4(2) will give your mm value

     dt + 6(2) will give your dd value

     dt+0(4) will give your yyyy value
