Documentation
Definition
The UTC time stamp displays the date and time in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) .
To standardize local times in a UTC time stamp, and therefore to be able to compare them, you need to convert them by specifying their time zone. ABAP command convert is provided for this purpose.
In cases where the time zone for the conversion can be found from Customizing or master data, you are still advised to store the time zone redundantly.
The internal structure of the high-resolution UTC time stamp is logically split into a date component and a time component in a packed digit format <YYYYMMDDhhmmssmmmuuun>. Please note that the 100 nanosecond resolution in the structure is not normally fully supported by the hardware.

A normal-resolution UTC time stamp is also available.
