how convert OFFSET to TIMEZONE ?

Former Member — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 12:26:55 GMT

Hello all,

Just want to ask a TimeZone question.

Already found a FM "TZON_GET_OFFSET", which convert a Timezone to OFFSET.

But vice versa i don't have any idea .

who can tell me, how convert a OFFSET to TIMEZONE?

Thx in advance!

best regards

can u check this which is written in method GET_LOCAL_TIMEZONE of class CL_BCOM_MIME_MESSAGE_SMTP

CALL FUNCTION 'TZON_GET_OFFSET'
    EXPORTING
      if_timezone   = l_tzone
      if_local_date = me->date
      if_local_time = me->time
    IMPORTING
      ef_utcdiff    = l_utcdiff
      ef_utcsign    = l_utcsign.

* determine hours and minutes
  l_tzone_hours   = l_utcdiff(2).
  l_tzone_minutes = l_utcdiff+2(2).

* determine comment
  CONCATENATE '(' sy-zonlo ')' INTO l_tzone_comment_s.

* concatenate timezone string
  CONCATENATE l_utcsign l_tzone_hours l_tzone_minutes
         INTO timezone_string.

  timezone = timezone_string.

  CONCATENATE timezone_string l_tzone_comment_s
         INTO timezone_string SEPARATED BY space.

Hi,

The belowsaid example would help you,


The best way to measure the runtime of a specific program segment is to calculate the difference between the relative runtimes before and after the segment.



DATA: T1 TYPE I, 
T2 TYPE I,
T TYPE P DECIMALS 2, 
N TYPE I VALUE 1000.

T = 0.
DO N TIMES.
  GET RUN TIME FIELD T1.

*****************************
* Code to be tested *
*****************************

  GET RUN TIME FIELD T2.
  T2 = T2 - T1.
  T = T + T2 / N.
ENDDO.

WRITE: / 'Mean Runtime: ', T, 'microseconds'.

This example shows a DO loop that is constructed around a program segment to be tested. In this example, the program segment is just a comment. The difference of the relative runtimes after (T2) and before (T1) the program segment is measured N times. The mean value (T) is calculated from the results. The output might look as follows:

Mean Runtime:            23,40 microseconds

The output shows the offset time that results from the runtime measurement itself. This offset must be subtracted from the runtime of a real program segment.

If you replace the comment block in the program with the simple assignment

T = T.

the result might be:

Mean Runtime:            28,84 microseconds

This shows that the runtime of a simple assignment (without type conversion) is about 5 microseconds. If you assign T to a field of type C, the runtime is increased by a factor of about four due to the type conversion.

hello ,

Thanks for your antwort!

but i mean that, Given: OFFSET '0200' or '0545' ..

Result:TimeZone e.g 'CET' or 'NEPAL'

are there so FM, which convert OFFSET to TIMEZONE?

regards

Hello ,

for normal Timezone this is easy.

e.g '0200'--->'UTC2'

but for '+0545' the Timezone is special 'NEPAL'.

therefore i meet the Problem, how convert the '+0545' to right TIMEZONE 'NEPAL'?

I wanna find a FM, or a special method.

wer can help me!

Thx
