Documentation
Definition
The time zone describes the location of an object in relation to its local time.
The basic field assignments describe
- The time difference of the time zone in hours/minutes relative to the UTC
- The beginning and end of summer time
On the basis of these field assignments, you do not need to use different time zones for summer and winder time, nor are these appropriate.
It is possible to convert local times between the local time and a UTC time stamp using the ABAP command convert. The parameters are always the local time (date and time), the time zone, and the UTC time stamp.
