Time Formats The time format is determined by column TIMEFM in the data base table T005X, where hh, mm, and ss stand for hour, minute, and second. One 24-hour format and several 12-hour formats are available: <(>TIMEFM<)>Time Format blank24-hour format (default setting) hh:mm:ss 112-hour format (1 to 12) hh:mm:ss AM and hh:mm:ss PM 212-hour format (1 to 12) hh:mm:ss am and hh:mm:ss pm 312-hour format (0 to 11) hh:mm:ss AM and hh:mm:ss PM 412-hour format (0 to 11) hh:mm:ss am and hh:mm:ss pm
The 24-hour format follows the ISO-8601 standard.
The 12-hour formats are specific to certain English-speaking countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the USA. AM/am stands for Ante meridiem (before noon) and PM/pm stands for Post meridiem (after noon).
The formats for the values 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 differ only in the capitalization of AM/PM and am/pm.
For the 12-hour formats of values 1 and 2, midnight and noon are formatted as 12:00:00.
For the 12-hour formats of values 3 and 2, midnight and noon are formatted as 00:00:00. The setting for the time format also affects the formatting of time stamps in time stamp fields.
Latest notes:
All time formats are suitable for the representation of times. Only the 24-hour format is suitable for the representation of a duration, that is, the interval between two points in time. It does not make sense to use AM/am and PM/pm for a duration.
The class CL_ABAP_TIMEFM contains a helper method for handling time formats.
The values for TIMEFM are defined by the fixed values of domain XUTIMEFM. ABAP_HINT_END
