The values of all system fields in this table are set implicitly when the program is started, every time a screen layout of a dynpro is sent, and when the ABAP_ISESS is changed. The last column of the table shows which of the system fields can be updated explicitly using the statement GET TIME .
The content of sy-zonlo is the user time zone described under System Time Zone and User Time Zone. The local values of sy-datlo and sy-timlo that are related to the user time zone are determined from the system time and the system date. If sy-zonlo is initial, sy-timlo and sy-datlo have the same values as sy-uzeit and sy-datum.



Example ABAP Coding

If the system time zone is the same as the user time zone, the corresponding system fields for system date and user date or system time and user time must be the same.
