System date and time variables in Alert container

[Former Member]

Is there a way to retrieve system date and system time during dynamic creation of Alert text message in alert category?

Thanks,

Hi

If you are using dynamic alert, you can create a variable (VarTime), and use the container operation to assign a value to it. In the container operation you have access to your interface variables and from them you can use Context Objects. From here you have access to different time variables, for example TimeSent for the interface variable. Not sure how accurate your timestamp needs to be, but this was good enough for me.

Hi Pam,

I found that it is possible to include date & time in alert container:

In Container tag:

Add element: Date, data type is ABAP Dict. Data Type = SWFXST_DATE

Add element: Time, data type is ABAP Dict. Data Type = SWFXST_TIME

Then you may try to add in long or short text to include these containers:

Date: &DATE&

Time: &TIME&

you can only use the container vairables defined in the below link

since system date and time are not in there,you can't use them in alert categories

Thanx
