Former Member — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:12:43 GMT

Hi Experts,

Can any one please help me how to change the system time to a particular time zone in ABAP program, for example India time zone.

Is there any function module for that?

Hi Vikram,

The function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP is used to get the time in required timezone.

The input parameters for this are the timestamp obtained from the above function module and the timezone, to which the time needs to be converted.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Chandra Sekhar

Hi Vikram,

CONVERT for Timestamps

Converts a timestamp into the correct date and time for the current time zone

Syntax

CONVERT TIME STAMP <tst> TIME ZONE <tz> INTO DATE <d> TIME <t>.

CONVERT DATE <d> TIME <t> INTO TIME STAMP <tst> TIME ZONE <tz>.

As long as <tst> has type P(8) or P(11) with 7 decimal placed, and <tz> has type C(6), the time stamp <tst> will be converted to the correct date <d> and time <t> for the time zone <tz>.

Hi Vikram,

Make use of FM " /ISDFPS/CONV_TIME_ZONE".

Provide all the necessary parameters and you will get the time in the new time zone.

Reward points if helpful.

Thanks ,
