Hi Alex,

try this my friend:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.txt)

1. DATA:          lv_datefield(15)      TYPE c,
2.                lv_time_stmp TYPE crmt_date_timestamp_to.
3.  
4. DATA date_inv LIKE sy-datum.
5.  
6. CONVERT DATE sy-datum INTO TIME STAMP lv_time_stmp TIME ZONE sy-zonlo .
7.  
8. lv_datefield = lv_time_stmp.
9.  
10. IF NOT lv_datefield+4(2) = 12.
11.   lv_datefield+5(1) = lv_datefield+5(1) + 1.
12. ELSE.
13.   lv_datefield+4(2) = '01'.
14.   lv_datefield(4) = lv_datefield(4) + 1.
15. ENDIF.
16.  
17. lv_time_stmp = lv_datefield.
18.  
19. convert time stamp lv_time_stmp TIME ZONE sy-zonlo  into date date_inv.
20.  
21. WRITE: 'Before: ', sy-datum.
22. WRITE: 'After: ', date_inv.
