Definition

The time zone describes the location of an object relative to its local time.

The rule describes the time difference of the time zone in hours/minutes relative to UTC and the begin and end of Summer time. It is neither necessary nor advisable to use different time zones for Summer and Winter time.

Local times can be converted between local time and a UTC time stamp using the ABAP command convert. The parameters are local time (date and time), time zone and UTC time stamp.
