I have a simple ABAP that I have written
DATA : lv_date TYPE d VALUE '20090308',
lv_time TYPE t VALUE '020000',
l_from_tstamp TYPE timestampl,
l_from_tstamp2 TYPE timestampl,
dst(1) type c value ' ',
l_system_timezone TYPE sy-zonlo.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE'
IMPORTING
timezone = l_system_timezone
EXCEPTIONS
customizing_missing = 1
OTHERS = 2.
CONVERT DATE lv_date TIME lv_time DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ' '
INTO TIME STAMP l_from_tstamp
TIME ZONE l_system_timezone.
WRITE /: l_from_tstamp, sy-subrc.
CONVERT DATE lv_date TIME lv_time DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME 'X'
INTO TIME STAMP l_from_tstamp2
TIME ZONE l_system_timezone.
WRITE /:l_from_tstamp2, sy-subrc.
The value of l_system_timezone is PST.
When I run this program I get SY-SUBRC = 12 after each call to CONVERT....
The only thing I could find in the help is
Time specification could not be converted, because dat, tim, or dst contain invalid or inconsistent values.
and also If dst has a different value or the specified value does not suit the value in tim and dat, the time_stamp remains unchanged and sy-subrc is set to 12.
Unfortunately I am not sure what is meant by the specified value does not suit the value in tim and dat
Anyone have any ideas? All I want to do is convert a date/time field into a time stamp
