Converting timestamp from local time to UTC

Is there a smooth way to convert a timestamp containing local time to UTC time?
The statement:
CONVERT TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz
INTO [DATE dat] [TIME tim]
[DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst].
Consideres time_tamp to be UTC time and then tries to convert it to the time zone specified in tz. What I would like to have done is the opposite, to have time_stamp represent the local time and then convert it back to UTC.
TIA!

Hi Armin.
Just turn your statement and you will be fine
DATA: date TYPE sydatum VALUE '20070525',
      time TYPE syuzeit VALUE '173030',
      cet TYPE tzonref-tzone VALUE 'CET',
      utc TYPE tzonref-tzone VALUE 'UTC',
      tstp TYPE timestamp.
CONVERT DATE date TIME time INTO TIME STAMP tstp TIME ZONE cet .
The output will be 15:30:30 at 25th of May 2007.
I used CET as example, just use the timezone your date is representing. The result is formatted as UTC.
Actually if you only have the timestamp, for this solution you have to convert it into date/time first.
Use
CONVERT TIME STAMP tstp TIME ZONE utc INTO DATE date TIME time.
to do so.
Regards,
Timo.

Conversion between local time and UTC: Anomaly at Daylight saving time edge

Hi all,
I want to convert back and forth between local time including all peculiarities like DST etc. This is the core of my code:
    Date d=new Date(toEpoch());
    Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance(tz);
    cal.setTime(d);
    int offs=(cal.get( Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET )+cal.get( Calendar.DST_OFFSET ));
    System.out.println("zone_offset: "+cal.get( Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET )+", dst_offset: "+cal.get( Calendar.DST_OFFSET )+", offset: "+offs);
    Calendar cal2=Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Etc/UTC"));
    System.out.println(cal2.getTimeZone().getID());
    cal2.setTime(d);
    cal2.add(Calendar.MILLISECOND,-offs);
    d=cal2.getTime();Looks (and, actually, is) rather complicated. I take two different calendar objects to be absolutely sure that no accidental DST conversion hits me on the UTC side.
The general case works as expected:
Date (fourteen digits, 'x'=Exit): 20050909190000
Entered date: Fr, 9.9.2005, 19:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Etc/UTC
Date in UTC: Fr, 9.9.2005, 17:00I live in timezone Europe/Berlin, so during DST we have GMT+2. Let's see what's happening on christmas (non-DST):
Date (fourteen digits, 'x'=Exit): 20051224180000
Entered date: Sa, 24.12.2005, 18:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Etc/UTC
Date in UTC: Sa, 24.12.2005, 17:00As expected!
Now, we enter the dark zone of DST: Each year DST is turned on and off and it seems as if this leads to problems in both cases. Let's start with the next event of this case: At Oct., 30th, 2005, DST is turned off between 2:00 and 3:00 at night. So, we have once 2:30 with DST and (one hour later) 2:30 again without DST. Java, however, garbles things completely (I'm leaving the unneeded lines of my debug output out now):
Entered date: So, 30.10.2005, 01:59
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: Sa, 29.10.2005, 23:59
Entered date: So, 30.10.2005, 02:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Date in UTC: So, 30.10.2005, 02:00
Entered date: So, 30.10.2005, 02:30
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Date in UTC: So, 30.10.2005, 02:30
Entered date: So, 30.10.2005, 02:59
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Date in UTC: So, 30.10.2005, 02:59
Entered date: So, 30.10.2005, 03:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Date in UTC: So, 30.10.2005, 02:00So, directly before the DST change, offset is computed correctly. From 3:00 onward, also. But in between, Calendar does neither take an offset of two hours (what would be somehow correct) nor one hour (also somehow correct). Even though it predicts to take the one-hour zone offset into consideration, "GMT" time is actually the same as local time.
Things become even wireder at the other edge of the DST time range: This year, DST began on March, 27th, 2005: Let's see what is happening:
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 01:59
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 0, offset: 3600000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 00:59
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 02:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 00:00
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 02:30
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 00:30
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 02:59
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 00:59
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 03:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 00:00
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 04:59
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 01:59
Entered date: So, 27.3.2005, 05:00
zone_offset: 3600000, dst_offset: 3600000, offset: 7200000
Date in UTC: So, 27.3.2005, 03:00While at 1:59, everything is ok, 2:00 is handled as within DST. That's ok, as the hour between 2:00 and 3:00 did not exist in that night in our local time zone, but at 3:00 the system totally screws up things as it suddenly subtracts three hours (while pretending to use two hours). This goes on until 5:00 in the morning when time is shown correctly again.
Can anyone help me? What am I doing wrong? How do I actually convert correctly between a DST-aware local time zone and GMT/UTC?
Best regards,
Dirk

Well, I would not say I did "just about everything" wrong. Actually, Calendar is not GMT-only as it has time zone information and converts its internal time according to that information if I use the getTime() function (what I do).
In my applications, I handle dates in my own data structures. My EDate object (which is part of the QJCC library hosted on SourceForge) stores years, months, days, minutes, hours, and seconds seperately. Using this class, I managed to get an actually working time zone conversion this way:
public void toUTC(TimeZone tz) {
    Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance(tz);
    cal.clear();
    cal.set(year,month-1,day,hour,minute,second);
    int offs=(cal.get( Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET )+cal.get( Calendar.DST_OFFSET ));
    //System.out.println("zone offset: "+cal.get( Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET )+", DST offset: "+cal.get( Calendar.DST_OFFSET ));
    second-=(offs/1000);
    normalize();
normalize() does something similar to the lenient stuff in Calendar.
I will now write the method for the other direction. The most interesting item will be the answer to the question:
"Tell me the correct DST_OFFSET in TimeZone X when I have the actual point of time given in UTC."
Perhaps someone can give me a hint?!?

Convert timestamp from text file (hh:mm:ss) into seconds

How can I import a column of time stamps from a text file of the form hh:mm:ss and convert it into seconds using LabView? For example, 13:30:30 into 48630.
Also, using the "Read from Spreadsheet File VI" I can't seem to get the entire time stamp imported correctly. Only the value before the colon is read. For example, if the timestamp reads 13:30:30, only 13 is inputed into the array in LabView.
FYI I'm using LabView 7. Thanks!

Here's a LV 7 example. Just a Scan From String, a couple of Multiply functions and add the results. As far as your Read From Spreadsheet issue, by default, the function creates an array of SGLs. 13:30:30 is text and the functions needs to be modified to return an array of strings. There are instructions on the diagram on how to do this. When you've made the changes, save it as a new name and in a new location.

Converting UTC time stamp to local time (CET)

Is there a smooth way to convert a time stamp from UTC time into the local time (e.g. CET)?
CONVERT TIME STAMP.... Just converts the timestamp from local time zone to UTC, is there another comand to perform the opposite conversion?
TIA!
/Armin

Hi Armin
The statement does not only convert from local time zone to UTC you can specifiy any timezone:
CONVERT TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz
        INTO [DATE dat] [TIME tim]
        [DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst].
The following statement can also be used to convert from date time to timestamp.
CONVERT DATE dat [TIME tim [DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME dst]]
        INTO TIME STAMP time_stamp TIME ZONE tz.

Time Conversion from Local to UTC Help! - Daylight Savings Problem?

Hi,
I am trying to use the generic conversion of local time to UTC time. I thought I had everything working since I use the "Get Date/Time in Seconds" and then convert to "Seconds to Date/Time" witht the "to UTC" flag set true. Then I convert back to a timestamp.
I thought I had everything working until I hit Daylight Savings for the Pacific Standard Time. Now the Labview is off by 1 hour!
Is there an update to the Subvi's that do this? Is this a known error? Please help. Thank you!

Here is the path you are doing that is causing the logic to fall apart for you.
1. You are getting the current time. In your images, it is 12:41 pm PDT which is 7:41 pm GMT
2. You are asking for the date/time record (that cluster that breaks out everything) but are saying it is UTC, so you get a date/time record that 19:41 UTC (7:41 pm). And the DST flag is 0. (Because UTC doesn't observe daylight savings time.)
3. Now you are taking that date/time record and converting back to an actual date/time. You don't wire up the UTC flag so it defaults to false. Thus the date/time record is interpreted as local. That DST flag is still 0 in your cluster. So you are actually converting the time to 7:41 pm PST, which is actually 8:41 PDT. (+1 hour for spring forward based on the month/date info.)
4. You are displaying that time stamp in the indicator labelled "Current Date/Time (UTC)", but it is not truly UTC, it is actually the conversion of a local time from PST to PDT, and it is not even the current local time. It is actually a "local" time 8 hours into the future. If you put the carat into that indicator's display format, you'll see that the UTC time is in the future as well. You call it UTC, but you are displaying a future local time.
The inconsistent conversions from local to UTC, and not accounting for the change of the DST flag from daylight time to UTC are what is confusing you. You kind of get lucky during standard time because the DST flag is 0 for both local standard time and UTC. But the conversions are still wrong, but it is a case of two wrongs are making it look right. Even in standard time your input timestamp and your output timestamp indicator don't match which you would see if you used an Equals? function on them.

Convert Data time stamp to Local Time

Hello,
I want to convert this input to local time EST.
Input:12/8/2006 10:23:00.000000000 PM -06:00

Is the input a string? A timestamp? If so, which flavor of timestamp? Something else?
Normally, you'd want to use a TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE data type for this sort of requirement, since it automatically converts data to the client's time zone. Assuming the input is a string and that the client's time zone is set to EST

Issue regarding local time

Hi,
Assume that an application with db data are supposed to be installed in London (in a data center) whereas ... all users who would connect to this db are in Greece.
The db time zone would be of London ... which means that the date-time data would be saved to the database to this time ... whereas the local time zone(of users) is different... The local users (in Greece) must see the local time and not that of London....
Of course , a solution to this could be of using for datetime db columns the TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE datatype instead of date.
But this imposes a different data schema.... (replacement of all date datatype to TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE) , which cannot be done.....
Can you consider any other solution....?????
Note: I use Oracle10g v.2 .....
Thanks....
Sim

I do believe you can set the client time zone via OS environment variables I think that is not practical and possible since all Greek people , theoretically of course, could use the services provided by the web application....
So , how to set the client time zone via OS env variable in client machines of all people who i do not know if ever would connect or not....?????
However how can it be done....(the settting of the client time zone via OS environment variables)???
Am i considering something wrong....?????
though the best solution would probably be to convert the application to use timestamps with time zone info.To make this solution applicable , i consider that i have to alter all date datatype of the schema to timestamp with local time zone datatype.... and of course all the code.... in the application.......
It may be the better solution but it cannot be done since ... the tables are over 2000 , the db packages/procedures/functions are approximately 100 , let alone the application package/procedure/function......
I think , considering the conditions expressed above , the best solution is using the current_date function in order to register the datetime according to the specific time zone ... I simply have to replace the sysdate with current_date.....
The only problem , which would make me to follow the solution with timestamp with local time zone datatype, is when people from different areas in the wolrd - with various time zones would use the application......
And something else....
Don't forget that Greece has just one time zone...+02:00
Thanks.... for your ideas

System.currentTimeMillis() returns time in UTC or not??????

Hello Friends,
I want to know that "System.currentTimeMillis()" returns time in UTC or Current Local time
ie suppose i set my TimeZone (GMT+ 2)
then statement gives me value in milliseconds by adding 2 hours to the GMT(Is this value should consider as UTC time or we have to subtract and add offset value according to the timezone.
If time value return by statement is in local time and this is not UTC then is there is any provision in Java to convert local time into UTC time ??
Regards
Gaurav

ejp wrote:
It returns 'the difference, measured in milliseconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC.'.Which, of course, as I have tried to explain to the OP (but seemingly not very well) that the "current time" referenced must also be the "current time" in UTC. If the starting point is UTC the ending point is UTC (otherwise it doesn't make any sense to measure it that way). I also attempted to tell him that, when he outputs a String representation of that time (i.e. toString or with a DateFormat Object) that the time he sees will be the time according to the TimeZone set in the DateFormat object, or the local timezone when using toString. But, as mentioned, Date objects (and so, essentially, the long value) is always UTC (relevant to the starting point, of course).
A quote from the Date Class
Although the Date class is intended to reflect coordinated universal time (UTC), it may not do so exactly, depending on the host environment of the Java Virtual Machine.which I take to mean that Date is always UTC in so far as the host environment is capable of it.

Remote enabled FunctionModule to convert Timestamps

Hello,
I need your help. I am searching for an SAP-FunctionModule that convert Timestamps from UTC to other time zones. The FunctionModule should be remote enabled and SAP standard (similar to FunctionModule = “TZ_GLOBAL_TO_LOCAL”).
Perhaps you can help me.

Hi Sam,
thank you very much for your answer. But we don´t like to build up a custom Z-function. We need a SAP-Standard remote enabled functionality (BAPI or Function).
I there really no standard functionality.

How to change PDF comments time in utc time zone*

Currently the eReview PDF time stamp uses the system time for its timestamp.
If there are two reviewers for a eReview packet, one in some X location and other in Phoenix and the reviewer in "X" reviews the packet first on a particular day evening and reviewer in Phoenix reviews the packet in their same day morning then the timestamp shows that Review in Phoenix is done first and "X" is done later.
The same is the case for comments from authors and the reviewers if both are different location.
So I think this time stamp looks inconsistent and does not give the desired information.
so its taking system by default,how to change it from system time to UTC time zone
Thanks&Regards
Sam rome

you could use the elapsed time function and hook it up to a case structure so that every .1 seconds you write your data to a file.
hope this helps:

Hello Richard,
Joel has created a nice [url http://joelkallman.blogspot.com/2010/09/automatic-time-zone-support-in.html]blogpost for describing a new feature in APEX 4.0, which does exactly what you want.
If you don't have APEX 4.0 or can't move to "TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE", you could try to build that yourself. There's a [url http://www.onlineaspect.com/2007/06/08/auto-detect-a-time-zone-with-javascript]nice example on how to determine the clients timezone in Javascript, which you could use to populate a hidden item on your login page, which you could store in an application item afterwards.

Time stamp and local time stamp

Dear sirs...
i am a little confused about the time stamp datatype and how to handle it in my applications. i want to display the time for every user in its time zone. so the fields in the database are timestamp with local time zone. is this correct?
i want it to be such that if one stores the time in USA time , the other can display that same data in UK time.
