Documentation
Definition
The UTC time stamp displays the time and date in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) time.
To normalize local time in a UTC time stamp for comparative purposes, you must convert it by specifying your own time zone. The ABAP command convert allows you to do this.
Even if you can determine the source time zone for this conversion from Customizing or master data, it is recommended that you save the time zone redundantly.
The internal structure of the UTC time stamp is subdivided logically in date and time parts in a packed number format <YYYYMMDDhhmmss>. A high-definition UTC time stamp (10^-7 seconds) is also available.
