Time Zone Differences

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement to find the time difference between two countries. For ex: if its<b> 6 pm 9 - 4 - 2006 in usa it should be converted to 5 am 10 - 4 - 2006 indian time .

Is there any funtion module to achieve this ?

Thanks alot in Advance.

Hi,

You can use FM JIT03_CONVERT_TIME_BY_TIMEZONE.

HI Rajni Kanth,

Use the table TTZ5Z to get the time zone for the Country.

Use the table TTZZ to get the zone rule for the time zone.

Use the table TTZR to get the Difference of time zone from UTC for the zone rule.

Do the above steps for the two countries and find the Difference between the "Difference of time zone from UTC" values resulted in the two cases.

REgards,

Hi,

The function module IB_CONVERT_INTO_TIMESTAMP is used to convert the time to the GMT. The input parameters are DATE, TIME and the TIMEZONE(user's timezone, default value SY-ZONLO). The output parameter is the timestamp in GMT.

The function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP is used to get the time in required timezone. The input parameters for this are the timestamp obtained from the above function module and the timezone, to which the time needs to be converted.

The output parameters are the date, time in the required timezone.

The necessary code is in the following link..

Hi

Check this out,I hope this will help to solve your problem.

CONVERT for Timestamps

Converts a timestamp into the correct date and time for the current time zone.

Syntax

CONVERT TIME STAMP <tst> TIME ZONE <tz> INTO DATE <d> TIME <t>.

CONVERT DATE <d> TIME <t> INTO TIME STAMP <tst> TIME ZONE <tz>.

As long as <tst> has type P(8) or P(11) with 7 decimal placed, and <tz> has type C(6), the time stamp <tst> will be converted to the correct date <d> and time <t> for the time zone <tz>.

DATA :

timestamp like TZONREF-TSTAMPS,

date like sy-datum.

• The following function module is used to convert the

CALL FUNCTION 'IB_CONVERT_INTO_TIMESTAMP'

EXPORTING

i_datlo = sy-datum

i_timlo = sy-uzeit

I_TZONE = 'INDIA'

IMPORTING

E_TIMESTAMP = timestamp.

• The following function module is used to convert the

Hi,

use the FM....

data:l_time TYPE t,

l_date type sy-datum,

l_tzone TYPE ttzdata-tzone,

l_tstmp TYPE timestamp.

CALL FUNCTION 'TZON_LOCATION_TIMEZONE'

EXPORTING

if_country = l_land1

IMPORTING

ef_timezone = l_tzone

EXCEPTIONS

no_timezone_found = 1

OTHERS = 2.

l_ctime = sy-uzeit. " Get current server time

l_datum = sy-datum. " Get current server date

CONVERT DATE l_datum

TIME l_ctime

INTO TIME STAMP l_tstmp TIME ZONE sy-zonlo.

CONVERT TIME STAMP l_tstmp TIME ZONE

l_tzone

INTO DATE l_date

TIME l_time.

Thanks,
