Integer overflow in get run time field

hnguyen_kinaxis — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:44:24 GMT

Greetings,

It appears that the ABAP command get run time field fname returns an integer value in microseconds. The first get run time initializes fname. Subsequent get run times get overflow if the application run time is over 75 minutes (4500000000 microseconds).

I have declared fname as P DECIMALS 0 but it still gets overflow.

Is there anyway to overcome this? Can we initialize run time more than once to avoid overflow?

Thanks,

Hung Nguyen

Use GET TIME instead.

Hung Nguyen,

as Rob recommends: For a runtime of more than an hour microseconds may not be required. If you want to use get run time, a type F field may eventually help - although you may loose some accuracy it should not lead to overflow.

Thanks, I should use GET TIME in this case.
