How do I change SAP Sytem Date?

Experts,

could you tell me, How do I change SAP Sytem Date?

Prema,

In Windows environment log into the server then you can double click on the clock (bottom left hand corner of screen) and change the date and/or time

For good measure you can then stop/start the SAP application and the new date and/or time should be reflected

Mike,

thanks for your help.

but i can change the SAP system date, by writing ABAP program using system variable sy-datum. it changes the date...

Prema,

Spoke to our Basis resource and they do not know how to change the SAP Date/Time but not the Server Date/Time. Also not sure why someone would want these to be out of sync?

Sorry that I cannot be of more assistance

Many apologies Prema,

I meant the time that is displayed bottom right of the screen (in the system tray with the task bar)

You can also select <b>Start</b> then <b>Run</b> and type in the command <b>control timedate.cpl</b>
