how to get system date

Former Member — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 05:33:12 GMT

I am not able to get the system date. If i use SY-DATUM, then it gives me server date. Now the time of India and US differs. If i use SY-DATUM, the nit shows server date which is according to Indian Standard Time . Then how do i get the time as per US.

Hi Priti,

Use SY-DATLO, this will give local date. Otherwise use SY-DATUT and get GMT Global date.

Hi,

The GET TIME statement synchronizes the time on the application server with the time on the database server and writes it to the field SY-UZEIT. SY-DATUM and the system fields for the local timezone (SY-TIMLO, SY-DATLO, and

SY-ZONLO).

SY-DATLO : Useru2019s local date.

SY-TIMLO : Useru2019s local time.

SY-UZEIT : Current application server time.

SY-DATUM : Current application server date.

SY-ZONLO : Useru2019s time zone i.e UTC, EST.

thanx.
