Hi,

system field SY-TIMLO contains the local time for user irrespective of the location of applications server.

So the person in US will see his local time.

Hi Ashish,

Where can i find the filed SY-TIMLO. Just to have a look.

[former_member289261]

It is a system field, to display it use statement :

WRITE SY-TIMLO.

To see the technical properties :

Go to transaction SE11 -> Enter structure name 'SYST' -> Choose DISPLAY.

There you can find the field name TIMLO.

=CurrentTime() function will give the current time formatted according to the regional settings.

Dear Das

So if we use the above function.. automatically when a user from US opens.He can able to see the time accordingly with out any modifications. Correct me if am wrong.

[arijit_das]

sorry.. by default the function will always give current time in the web server. But you can specify the time zone in the infoview/launchpad preference to get the local time. You might need to logoff and login after updating the preference.

Hi Das,

So if the report is opened in 3 countries, each of them should change the launchpad prefernces to get their local time. Am i correct.?

[arijit_das]

unfortunately yes.
