Issue with TIME..

Former Member — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:59:15 GMT

Hi,

As we know that the integer value fo the full day is 86400, which is converted into integer.

Like this, I want to convert the time to integer value.

For example 09:52:52. I want to convert it into integer value.

and then convert it back to HH:MM:SS format.

Is it possible?

Later I want to use this integer value as part of index along with date.

I am not a ABAP champion so please advice if I am going in to wrong direction.

Regards,

Try below code


data: v_time type i,
      v_stime type sy-uzeit.

parameters:     p_stime type sy-uzeit default sy-uzeit.

v_time = p_stime.

v_stime = v_time.


write : v_time, v_stime.

The date can be converted into integer number, because it can calculate the number of days from an initial date (I'm not sure, but I think it's 01/01/0001

But this concept is not valid for the time, because the values are cyclical: they are repeated for every day, from 0 to 24.

So if you need to create an unique index it's enough you concatenate the date and time together,

The interger value of the time will be the time, I mean the integer of 09:52:52 will be 95252

So you can use the time without to convert it.

Thank you both for the reply.

I just used type integer and type time as suggested and ABAP took care of the rest of the conversion.
