Timestamp fields format in IDOC

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have to create iDOCs to export data from our system to SAP R/3.

Few of the iDOCS files contains Timestamp fieldsa as this one:

CHECK_TIMESTAMP : RA: Time Stamp: Date/Time for Check-Out/Check-In (UTC)

internal data type : DEC

Internal length : 000015 characters

No decimal places, without sign

Position in segment : 004, Offset : 0100. external length : 000016

I can not find any documentation about the timestamp format.

I assumed the following: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

... but this is 14 caracters and the field is 15 of length.

Is my assumption is right or am I wrong?

And ... is it documented?

Thanks for help

Yes, it's documented in the ABAP help files. There's a short form and a long form. See the help files for GET TIME STAMP or CONVERT TIME STAMP.
