Hi Isha,

You can use following code to convert string date to calender format.

String stringDate="23-Aug-10";
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date date = formatter.parse(stringDate);
Calendar calender = Calendar.getInstance();
calender.setTime(date);

After conveting into calender you can use DateTimeValue class to save in MDM table.

DateTimeValue mdmDate = new DateTimeValue(calendar);

I hope it helps.
