Time format

Former Member — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 10:32:55 GMT

is there any function module for time conversion.

Eg. if my input is mm:hh:ss

output must be hh:mm:ss

i should not change the user setting in SU01 i want to do it by program.

Thanks in advance

hi,

try this fm .

pass the time in seconds as input parameter.

RSSM_CONVERT_DAYSEC2TIMESTAMP.

otherwise split the time into three variables as mm ss hh

and concatenate it.

if you are sure of your input then you can simply use offset functionality to modify to your desired options.

For Eg

data : input type t, output type t.

input = MMHHSS

concatenate input2(2) input0(2) input+4(2) into output.

hope this helps

I think if u refer the field to a time field then an error is triggered at the selection screen itself asking for a valid time format .

so in case your input is MMHHSS then i suppose you need to go for a logic as said above and dont forget to check the time plausibility.

the code will be like

parameters : p_time(6) type c .  "if the input is mmhhss
data : time(6) type c.
data : len type i.

data : tim like sy-uzeit.

data : mm(2) type c, hh(2) type c,ss(2) type c.
len = strlen( p_time ).
if len < 6 .
message e999 with 'Invalid Input'.
endif.
mm = p_time+0(2) .
hh = p_time+2(2) .
ss = p_time+4(2) .


concatenate HH MM SS INTO TIME .
tim = time.


CALL FUNCTION 'TIME_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY'
  EXPORTING
    time                           = tim
 EXCEPTIONS
   PLAUSIBILITY_CHECK_FAILED       = 1
   OTHERS                          = 2
          .
if sy-subrc eq 0.
write:/ tim.
endif.

*if p_time+0(2) gt 59 .
*   p_time+0(2) = 59.
*endif.
*if p_time+4(2) gt 59 .
*   p_time+4(2) = 59.
*endif.
you need to handle this scenario.
