Definition

The UTC-time stamp displays the date and time based on UTC (Universal Time Coordinated).

To standardize local times in a UTC time stamp and therefore make them comparable, you need to convert them, specifying their time zone. The ABAP command convert is available to do this.

Even if the time zone that underlies this conversion can be determined from Customizing or master data, we recommend that you store the time zone redundantly here too.

The internal structure of the UTC time stamp is logically subdivided into a date part and a time part in a packed number format <JJJJMMTThhmmss>. There is also a high-resolution UTC time stamp (10^-7 seconds) available.
