Documentation

Definition

The UTC time stamp is the date and time relative to UTC Universal Coordinated Time).

To standardize local times in a UTC time stamp and thus make them comparable with other times, these local times need to be converted using your time zone and the ABAP command convert.

Even if the system is able to determine the time zone from Customizing or master data, you should save the time zone redundantly here.

The internal structure of the UTC time stamp is subdivided into a date part and a time part in packed number format <YYYYMMDDhhmmssmmmuuun>. Note that the maximum resolution of 100 nanoseconds as used in the structure is not always supported by the hardware used.

See also GET TIME STAMP. A shorter form of the UTC time stamp is also available.
