UTC / Local time

[Former Member]

Hi

I need an ABAP rutine to convert UTC time to local time (CET). I know that there is an ABAP statement "CONVERT" for this. However this requires input on daylight saving time. I dont know how to dynamicly derrive this for the timestamp insted of the load time.

Hi

The problem is that the Time for the SAP sys is determined by the OS sys of the server that runs the SAP sys.

thus, if you are interested in calculating time difference you have no problem as long as you compare time using the correct Time Zones.

if you are interested in the actual time you will need to get it from the server.

I was doing a time calculation KF for a report and eventually just showed the time without the DLST.

I used the CONVERT key to do so.
