Hello Bhanu,

These are few points u need to be clear about.

1) flat file consists of time data in 09:08:07 format which means that the length is 8 character long.

2) so for this 8 characters data to get uploaded the internal table field u specify should also be 8 characer long.

NOTE : TIMS is 6 character long so the remaining part gets truncated.

opt for char(008) type.

3) Now once the data gets uploaded into first internal table say itab1.

we need to map this time data (09:08:06) into the field of itab2 which u say is of type DATABASE table.

4) For this pls check if there is any function module that converts into internal format.(this is of type TIMS (6 character)

or u can use SPLIT and CONCATENATE commands.

Below given code helps u get solution.

NOTE : Do please observe that gt_time2 contains the data according to TIMS format.

Hi,

You are converting the data type of length 8 to length to length 6. So, the output is getting truncated.

Please check the code.
