how do we convert time and date from one zone to other zone?..using function module..can any one explain plz...

[naimesh_patel]

You can use the CONVERT statement with TIME ZONE addition.

Like:

DATA: time_stamp TYPE timestamp, 
      dat TYPE d, 
      tim TYPE t, 
      tz   TYPE ttzz-tzone, 
      dst(1) TYPE c. 

tz = 'BRAZIL'. 
time_stamp = 20030309033000. 
CONVERT TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz 
        INTO DATE dat TIME tim DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst. 
WRITE: /(10) dat, (8) tim, dst. 

time_stamp = 20030309043000. 
CONVERT TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz 
        INTO DATE dat TIME tim DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst. 
WRITE: /(10) dat, (8) tim, dst.

function module input parameters should be FROM zone ,TO zone,time,date and output parameters must be TO zone time,and date.....we must ask the user to enter TO zone, FROM zone ,TIME ...i need the code for that?

[naimesh_patel]

But why do you need FM for that when it can be achieved through this simple syntax.

You can make the parameters fields on your selection screen for date, time and timezone and use this CONVERT in your program to convert to different timezone.
