GET TIME STAMP

Short Reference



GET TIME STAMP FIELD time_stamp.

Effect

This statement uses the system time and system date of the AS ABAP to create a UTC time stamp according to the POSIX standard and assigns it to the variable time_stamp of type p as a time stamp in a packed number.

The following can be specified for time_stamp:

  • An existing variable of the data type TIMESTAMP or TIMESTAMPL from the ABAP Dictionary, in accordance with the ABAP type p with length 8 or p with length 11 and seven decimal places. Depending on the data type, the time stamp is created either in the short form or in the long form.

Notes

  • The precision of the decimal places of the generated time stamp depends on the hardware (processor) of the host computer of the current . Resolutions in the one-digit or two-digit microsecond range are realistic.
  • A time stamp in its short form is the integer part of a time stamp in its long form. A long form time stamp cannot be used to create the associated short form time stamp using a simple assignment, since this would involve commercial rounding. The method MOVE of the system class CL_ABAP_TSTMP can be used instead.

Example

Creation of two time stamps. An existing variable of the type TIMESTAMPL must be used for the long form. An inline declaration can be used for the short form. The time stamps must be formatted specially for the output, since otherwise only numbers of type p would be displayed.

Exceptions

Non-Catchable Exceptions

  • Cause: The target field differs from TIMESTAMP or TIMESTAMPL with respect to type, length, and decimal places.
    Runtime Error: GET_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT
