Hello Avi,

Please check "TIMECALC_MOVE" FM. Here you have to pass '-' to the IMPORT param DIRECTION.

As you are subtracting the time.

hi

declare a local variable W_UZEIT type SY_UZEIT.

and write the code

w_uzeit = sy-uzeit - 10800.

When we subtract 3hrs from SY_UZEIT it will subtract 10800 seconds from the system time (SY_UZEIT gives system time ).This is equivalent to subtracting 3 hrs.

Here we are not modifying SY-UZEIT... instead we are declaring a variable W_UZEIT and assigning the subtracted value.

Hello,

This is a small ABAP program that will help you.

The subtraction is always calculated in seconds.

report ztest.
* This report will subtract 3 hours from the current time.

data: w_time like sy-uzeit.
data: w_seconds type i.

w_seconds = 3 * 3600.

w_time = sy-uzeit - w_seconds.
write: / w_time.
