An initial value for the time zone is set in CONVERT TIME STAMP, but set implicitly to "UTC" and not to the system time zone.ĭetermines a local date and a local time from a time stamp. TIME STAMP, the content of the system field sy-zonlo can be passed To get the local time and local date from a If sy-zonlo is initial, sy-timlo and sy-datloĪre given the same values as sy-uzeit and sy-datum, the system time and system date. TheĪnd sy-datlo are provided with the user time and user date at certain times. The user time and the user date are the local time and local date of the current user, calculated from the system time and the user time zone. If this is not the case, synchronization is performed.Ĭreates a time stamp from the system date and system time. Whether the last synchronization was performed during the specified interval. System fields for date and time), the system checks If a time is required (for example, to populate The character-like system fields sy-uzeitĪnd sy-datum are provided with the system time and system date at certain times.įrom a technical perspective, the ABAP runtime environment clock is synchronized with the database server clock on request. The ID is split in two, with a two or three. Since this happens on allĮnvironment clock is synchronized with the clocks on all other application servers and with the database system clock, and therefore shows the system time and system date of the entire AS ABAP. If the zone ID starts with UTC+, UTC-, GMT+, GMT-, UT+ or UT- then the ID is a prefixed offset-based ID. During the synchronization process, the ABAP runtime environment clock is set to the database server clock. They are produced by regular synchronizations between the clock of theĪnd the clock of the database server. The system time and the system date are the local time and local date in AS ABAP in the system time zone.

The current client's system time zone can be read using function module GET_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE.ĭetermines the date and time in the system time zone from a time stamp. If it is invalid or inactive, the system field sy-zonlo is filled with blanks. Invalid or inactive, the default value from the column TZONEDEF in the database table TTZCU

The network clocks have configurable time zone and daylight saving settings. The clocks obtain time from a local or internet based NTPSNTP network time server, to provide a display of accurate time.
