passing time to a variable

Former Member — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 13:16:45 GMT

dear experts,

My requirement is to not execute one step in the program when the day is Thursday and time is before 1pm. so after 1pm it should execute as usual.

The program runs every 2 hours and on all days.

The problem I am facing is the value I am passing to a time variable is not working.Because with this value I need to compare the system time.

Data : tv_day like scal-indicator,
tv_time type syst-uzeit.

CALL FUNCTION 'DATE_COMPUTE_DAY'
    EXPORTING
      date = sy-datum
    IMPORTING
      day = tv_day. " Here I am getting the value 4 for Thursday

*Now I am passing the time to a variable.
tv_time = 130000. " Here is the problem , the value actually coming to tv_time is 120640.Which is wrong.

*But when I pass tv_time = sy-uzeit , it is taking the correct value.

*Even I tried with keeping the value in single quotes '130000' but not working.

If tv_date eq 4 and sy-uzeit lt tv_time.

Dont execute.

Else.
Execute.
Endif.

Please also tell me is there a better way of writing this code

Hi.

You should use this and edit positions of TSTMP (last 6 chars). You convert SY-UZEIT in an editable data and after you can compare with 130000... Timestamp is a standard function

DATA: tstmp LIKE TZONREF-TSTAMPS

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_INTO_TIMESTAMP'

EXPORTING

I_DATLO = sy-datum

I_TIMLO = sy-uzeit

* I_TZONE = SY-ZONLO

IMPORTING

E_TIMESTAMP = tstmp

Hope to help

Bye

Hi,.

it works, when you do like this,

tv_time = '130000'
