Capturing system time and date and the time difference and date difference.

Question

Hello Experts,
i have a requirement the i need to capture select query start time and date as i runthe program on midnight (ie) 11:55 p.m.
I tried system fields sy-datum and sy-uzeit for capturing the system date and time when my program runs but it gets reset when the date changes.
i tried get time field option but it is resetting the sy-datum to zero so i am able to capture the date of the next day and resulting in wrong calculation of time .
please help with your valuable answers.
Thank you,
Srinivas.

Hi,
As per my understanding you want to fetch those data which are created between the program last run date time and current date time.
If I am right please follow the below procedure.
1. Create one custom table to store program name and program execution last date time
2. at event INITIALIZATION populate to fields date and Time using the statement sy-datum
initialization.
  v_curr_time = sy-uzeit.           " Current time
  v_curr_date = sy-datum.           " Current date
3. Get the last run date and time from the above custom table.
4. Do your logic.
5. at last Update the custom table with current date and time based on the step two (Here do not take sy-datum like that, take the value in the global variable populated in step 2)
