Time Zone conversion of a date/timestamp in ABAP

[Former Member]

Is there a function available in 4.5B that can convert a date/timestamp from one timezone to another?

[former_member181966]

try FMS

/SAPTRX/RANGE_CONVERT

CONVERT_TIME_TERMS

CIF_GEN3_CONVERT_DATETIME

CIF_GEN3_CONVERT_TIMESTAMP

CIF_GEN_CONVERT_DATETIME

CIF_GEN_CONVERT_TIMESTAMP

CIF_GEN4_CONVERT_DATETIME

CIF_GEN4_CONVERT_TIMESTAMP

CO_SF_CONVERT_TIMES_OPR

CXTP

DATE_TIME_CONVERT

POINT_IN_TIME_CONVERT

FITP_CONVERT_LOCAL_TIME_GMT

<u><i><b>

Tip : GO to -> SE37 and search key word TIME OR Convert</b></i></u>

Hope this’ll give you idea!!

<b>P.S award the points.</b>

Good luck

Thanks

Guys,

None of these functions convert a date/timestamp to another timezone. I am looking for a function or any other way that will take a date and a time and a 'from timezone' and 'to timezone' as an input parameter and will return the date and time in the target time zone.

I don't know what is available in 4.5B, but CALL METHOD cl_kf_helper=>timestamp_utc_2_local_zone worked for me. You may need to first convert your date to UTC before calling this method. Check the ABAP documentation on CONVERT DATE d TIME t DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst INTO TIME STAMP ctime TIME ZONE timezone.

Hi Peter,

This code will do the time zone conversion.

CONVERT DATE lv_dat TIME lv_tim

INTO TIME STAMP lv_time_stamp TIME ZONE 'TIME ZONE'.

Also check FM 'ISU_DATE_TIME_CONVERT_UTC'.

Thanx & Rgds,
