time and date function, how to use?

Former Member — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 15:34:58 GMT

Hello everyone,

I want to know that how can we make use of these two system functions SY-TIMLO, SY-DATUM ?

What should i write in data? pbo? pai?

Should i write something like this in data?

DATA: Ok_date TYPE SY-DATUM.

DATA: Ok_time TYPE SY-TIMLO.

What should i write in pbo and pai and should i need to make changes in screen elements? do i need to create one?

Please guide and explain with an example. Thanks a lot for writing back.

Regards,

Lucky

HI,

These are system variables used to hold the date and time. The way you have defined are correct. If you are using a module pool and want the output to display the cuurent date and time as soon as you run the program , just create 2 input box on the screen and set their time as DATS and TIMS for date and time type variables. In the PBO module simply write

ok_date = sy-datum

ok_time = sy-timlo.

for time you may also use sy-uzeit.

Hi,

create two variables in the top include..

data :P_date type Sy-datum default sy-datum,

p_time type sy-uzeit default sy-uzeit.

---

Next go to screen and enter table syst...

and select datum and uzeit and drag to screen..

and rename the field to p_date for syst-date and p_time for syst-uzeit.
