Hi,

Instead of using the fields SY-DATUM and SY-UZEIT, use the fields SY-DATLO and SY-TIMLO to get local time from the specified time zone for the user.

See the code below

DATA: v_timestamp TYPE timestamp,
      v_tzone     TYPE timezone,
      v_date      LIKE sy-datum,
      v_time      LIKE sy-uzeit.

v_tzone = 'INDIA'.

GET TIME STAMP FIELD v_timestamp.

CONVERT TIME STAMP v_timestamp TIME ZONE v_tzone INTO DATE v_date
                                                      TIME v_time.

WRITE:/ v_date,
        v_time.

Hi Suma,

Please try this FM TZ_SYSTEM_TO_LOCAL to convert system to local.
