  The SAP error message DP_SHARED409 with the description "ToDateTime has invalid format" typically occurs when there is an issue with the date and time format being used in a function or operation within SAP. This error can arise in various contexts, such as data processing, report generation, or when working with date and time fields in ABAP programs.
  Cause:

  Check Date Format: Ensure that the date and time values being passed conform to the expected format. You can refer to the SAP documentation or the specific function module's documentation to find the required format.

  Validate Input Data: Before processing, validate the input data to ensure that it is not null or empty and that it adheres to the expected format.
  Adjust Locale Settings: If the issue is related to locale settings, ensure that the system's locale is set correctly or that the input data is formatted according to the expected locale.
