Get actual time for specific time zone

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

is it possible to get the actual time for a given time zone? We need to know the time of a certain plant and we are searching for a standard function module which calculates the time based on the plants time zone.

Thanks in advance,

David

HI

Enter TIMEZONE* in SE37 and take F4 Help

/OSP/TIMEZONE_DETERMINE -->Determine date and time in different timezones

/OSP/SYSTEM_TIMEZONE ---> System timezone
TZ_LOCATION_TIMEZONE ---> Time zones: Determine time zone for a location (land, region)
/OSP/GET_TIMEZONE

Dear Ram,

Best regards,

You can use TIME ZONE statement for this.

DATA: time_stamp_s TYPE string,
            time_stamp     TYPE timestamp,
            tzone              TYPE timezone,
           wf_date_conv TYPE sy-datum,
           wf_time_conv TYPE sy-uzeit.

tzone = 'CET'.

CONCATENATE sy-datlo   "Local Date
                          sy-timlo    "Local Time
                  INTO time_stamp_s.

time_stamp = time_stamp_s.

CONVERT TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tzone INTO DATE wf_date_conv TIME wf_time_conv.

Otherwise FM IB_CONVERT_INTO_TIMESTAMP/IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP can bne used for same.

Hi,

You need to run 2 FMs in the following order.

1. CIF_GEN4_TIMEZONE_4_PLANT_GET - It will give you the timezone for the Plant.

2. JIT03_CONVERT_TIME_BY_TIMEZONE - You can convert local time into the time in the specified zone.

Hope this helps,

Raj
