system time

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I need to get the system (application server) time value in the following format

HHMMSS mmm

(mmm being milliseconds). sy-uzeit is not enough as it does not give me milliseconds.

Is there a function module or another system field for the same ?

regards,

Hey SR!!

Yes long timestamp is an option but I am looking for a

3-character value for the fraction part of seconds.

The requirement is to create a file with the timestamp being a part of its name. Using the first 3 of these 7 characters may not always lead to a unique file name.

If i can get the same thing with 3-characters....nothing like it...

Hi Priyank,

Try calling function module DB_LOCAL_TIME.

This will give you the current time in hours, minutes, seconds, and microseconds. To get milliseconds simply divide the microseconds by 1000. Hopefully this will give you enough digits to create your unique filenames.

Have you tried logical filenames? Define a logical filename and path using tcode FILE. there you can define upto two variables apart from system values to define your filename. This should be enough to provide you the needed uniqueness. We use it here as a standard for all file interfaces.

If these answers helped you, please reward and close the post.
