Timezone Conversion

Former Member — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 17:06:03 GMT

Hi,

I am planning to use the Function Module TZ_LOCAL_TO_SYSTEM in my program however, I found out that it was already marked as obsolete. Would somebody know which FM replaced this ? This function module converts a timezone specific date/time to the system time.

Thanks

Hi,

Check this example for converting the time according to the time zone..

TYPE-POOLS: tstr.

DATA :

timestamp LIKE tzonref-tstamps,

time LIKE sy-uzeit,

date LIKE sy-datum.

DATA: timezone TYPE tstr_tzone.

PARAMETERS: p_land1 TYPE land1.

Get Timezone for the country.

CALL FUNCTION 'BORRS_LOCATION_TIMEZONE'

EXPORTING

if_country = p_land1

IMPORTING

ef_timezone = timezone

EXCEPTIONS

no_timezone_found = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

Get the timestamp.

CALL FUNCTION 'IB_CONVERT_INTO_TIMESTAMP'

EXPORTING

i_datlo = sy-datum

i_timlo = sy-uzeit

i_tzone = sy-zonlo

IMPORTING

e_timestamp = timestamp.

Convert timestamp.

CALL FUNCTION 'IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP'

EXPORTING

i_timestamp = timestamp

i_tzone = timezone

IMPORTING

e_datlo = date

e_timlo = time.

WRITE 😕 'Date and Time zone for time zone', timezone, ' is ',

date, time.

Thanks,

Naren

Concatenate date and time into a timestamp variable and use the following syntax.


DATA: ic_timestamp(15) TYPE c,
      iv_timestamp     LIKE tzonref-tstamps,
      ev_date          LIKE sy-datum,
      ev_time          LIKE sy-uzeit,
      v_zone           LIKE sy-zonlo.

CONCATENATE sy-datum
            sy-uzeit
       INTO ic_timestamp.
iv_timestamp = ic_timestamp.
v_zone = 'PST'.
CONVERT TIME STAMP iv_timestamp
        TIME ZONE  v_zone
        INTO DATE  ev_date
             TIME  ev_time.

WRITE:/ ev_date, ev_time.
