GET TIME STAMP

Short Reference

Syntax

GET TIME STAMP FIELD time_stamp.

Effect

This statement assigns a time stamp for the currentUTC reference time of theASABAP to the variable time_stamp. The data object time_stamp must have either thedata type TIMESTAMP or TIMESTAMPL from the ABAP Dictionary corresponding to ABAP type p of length 8 or p of length 11 with sevendecimalplaces. Depending on the data type of time_stamp, the time stamp is created either in short or long form.

        ...
        time_stamp TYPE timestampl,
        ...
      END OF wa.
...
GET TIME STAMP FIELD wa-time_stamp.
