HI

I have used sy-uzeit to get the system time but i want the time to displayed in AM or PM

for eg: 02:30:56 PM

Can anybody please suggest how to do this..

[Former Member]

try this:

data: lv_time like sy-uzeit.

lv_time = sy-uzeit.

if lv_time+0(2) >= 12.

if lv_time+0(2) > 12.

lv_time0(2) = lv_time0(2) - 12.

endif.

write: / lv_time, 'PM'.

else.

write: / lv_time, 'AM'.

endif.

Hi Vani,

No need to do the above you can still achieve the same using the write to ABAP construct as shown below,

Also I am not sure if the above suggestions would work in a system where the time format is set to 12 hour.

DATA: l_char TYPE char20.

SET COUNTRY 'IN'.
WRITE sy-uzeit TO l_char ENVIRONMENT TIME FORMAT.

WRITE l_char.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

ENDIF.

Note: You need to check the country setting in table T005X for the country in concern, the field "TIMEFM" must have the value either of the value as per your need.

1 12 Hour Format (Example: 12:05:10 PM)

2 12 Hour Format (Example: 12:05:10 pm)

Hi.,

There is no FM for this., You can create one for your requirement., with importing parameter time and exporting parameter local_time.

and do the same code inside FM . pass time as sy-uzeit and get the converted time..

hope this helps u.,

You can use method CONV_TIME_INT_TO_EXT of class CL_ABAP_TIMEFM, but i don't know any such FM, so code will become

          SET COUNTRY 'IN'.
          cl_abap_timefm=>conv_time_int_to_ext(
            exporting
              time_int            = l_time
              format_according_to = cl_abap_timefm=>environment
            importing
              time_ext            = l_ctime ).
          SET COUNTRY space.

Check also time format documentation at [format_options ... TIME = RAW ISO USER ENVIRONMENT (val)|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_702/en/abapcompute_string_format_options.htm#!ABAP_ADDITION_13@13@]

Hi.,

You have to do it manually by code., try this.,

DATA: time TYPE string,

hrs type char10.

time = sy-uzeit.

IF time+0(2) ge 12.

hrs = time+0(2) - 12.

CONCATENATE hrs time2(2) time4(2) INTO time SEPARATED BY ':'.

CONCATENATE time 'PM' INTO time SEPARATED BY ''.

ELSE.

CONCATENATE time0(2) time2(2) time+4(2) INTO time SEPARATED BY ':'.

CONCATENATE time 'AM' INTO time SEPARATED BY ''.

ENDIF.

WRITE time.

hope this helps u.,
