if you go to menu option

System->user profile -> own data

pick the DEFAULTS tab

you will see a field for the personal time zone of the user. If this is set to your local time zone, then you should see times displayed as correct locally, rather than the application server time zone.

Yes, it is. That's what happens when people don't read the question.

Why do you need to know the time on the PC? You might be able to use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE to run a program that sets an environment variable, and then use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>ENVIRONMENT_GET_VARIABLE to read the variable.

If the users' accounts are correctly maintained with the timezone (as mentioned above), then sy-timlo contains the local time. ( And sy-datlo the local date ).

TZ_SYSTEM_TO_LOCAL will convert a date/time to local.

Hi,

Use the function module OIL_GET_CURRENT_DATE_TIME and pass the system time zone.

Then it will retrieve the current system time. This will change as per the user settings.

Change your user settings to the zone you are in using the table TTZZ and then it will give you the current desktop time.

Hi Mohan,

Plese use following FM's to convert to local india time.

IB_CONVERT_INTO_TIMESTAMP it will convert date and time to Timestamp.

Exporting parameters:

I_DATLO = sy-DATLO

I_TIMLO = sy-TIMLO

I_TZONE = sy-ZONLO.

Out put of above FM is Timestamp. Pass this time stamp to FM IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP

Exporting Parameters:

I_TIMESTAMP = 'Time Stamp from Above FM'

I_TZONE = 'INDIA'.

You will get the System time.
