Time Stamps This section describes the representation of time-zone-independent time stamps and the statements used for accessing time stamps. There are two ways in which time stamps can be handled in ABAP:
Time Stamp Fields with Time Stamp Type
Time Stamps in Packed Numbers
Latest notes:
In new programs, it is recommended that time stamps in time stamp fields are used.
The system class for time stamps in packed numbers contains methods for the conversion between the two representation types for time stamps. These are necessary if time stamp fields are used in new programs, but existing repositories or interfaces must be accessed.
