Do you need time zone of desktop, too ?

Hi Tibor,

Thanks for reply.

It is not required time zone of desktop.I need only desktop/pc time.

An idea to do it, but you didn't explain yet, if you connect with

• SAP GUI for Windows
• SAP GUI for Java
• SAP GUI for MacOS
• ITS
• Netweaver Business Client
• SAP GUI runs on Terminal server
• ...

METHOD desktop_datetime.

*   Alternative:
*   CL_GUI_HTML_VIEWER with SAPEVENT

    DATA:
      lt_clip     TYPE TABLE OF docs,
      lc_datetime TYPE string,
      li_length   TYPE i.

    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
      EXPORTING
        application = 'cmd.exe'
        parameter   = '/c echo %date% %time% | clip'
        minimized   = 'X'
        synchronous = 'X'
      EXCEPTIONS
        OTHERS      = 1.
    CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.

    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>clipboard_import
      IMPORTING
        data   = lt_clip
        length = li_length
      EXCEPTIONS
        OTHERS = 1.
    CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.

    READ TABLE lt_clip INTO lc_datetime INDEX 1.
    CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.

    WRITE: / lc_datetime.

  ENDMETHOD.

Maybe you'll prefer SY-DATLO and SY-TIMLO. It's the time based on the time zone in the SAP user's profile. It should be setup correctly of course.
