System field for time is sy-uzeit.

This field can be basically used in many ways for many purposes which is very difficult to explain.

For example, if you want to track the time of change for a record in a table you can use this field.

Thanks,

The system field is sy-uzeit. It is a 6 character field which holds the time in the format HHMMSS. When you write this value to a list, it will automatically write in external format as HH:MM:SS.

write:/ sy-uzeit.

This is used( a lot of times ) to print the current time on a report header along with the date, sy-datum. This way the user will always have a record of when the report was ran.

Ferry gave you the answer. If that is not what you are looking for let us know.

My time zone is EST. If I change my default time zone to PST, then when I write Sy-TIMLO, it will give me the time in PST, instead of the system time, which is EST.

You can change the users default, by clicking System, User Profile, Own Data, then click on the defaults tab.

HI Srisaihari,

SY-UZEIT

Current (application server) time,

for example 164353, 215312.

***INCLUDE STARTTXT.

WRITE: / 'Program started by', SY-UNAME,

/ 'on host', SY-HOST,

'date:', SY-DATUM, 'time:', SY-UZEIT.

ULINE.

This could produce the following output:

on host ds0025 date: 03/19/1998 time: 09:00:39

Check this once.

Hi,

You can use SY-TIMLO (Date and time, local time for user).

WRITE: /01 SY-TIMLO.

For others, SY-DATLO (Date and time, local date of user) and SY-ZONLO (Date and time, time zone of user).

<b>SY-TIMLO</b>

User’s local time, for example 154353, 225312, …

<b>SY-UZEIT</b>

Current application server time. for example 164353, 215312, …

In my case, both will always be the same.

Hi Sri,

You need to use <b>SY-TIMLO</b> in case your company has multi countries or zones to work with. In other word, global company.

SY-UZEIT is good ONLY if your company only has one zone to work and support with.

Hope this will help.
