You can serialize/deserialize timestamps, if their datatype refers to a special domain:.You can format timestamps in string processing:Ĭl_demo_output=>display( | | ).You can directly compare different timestamps of the same type:.In order to handle timestamps, you can do the following: The format of such ABAP timestamps is YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.fffffff with 7 fractions of a second in case of type TIMESTAMPL.Īs a rule, you use such timestamps to mark data with – well – timestamps (time of creation, time of update, …). Those are are POSIX timestamps that are independent of a time zone. Here ts has the dictionary type TIMESTAMP and the result might look like 20160829131515.Īnd a timestamp accurate to a small fraction of a second with: In ABAP you get a timestamp accurate to a second with the statement Until GC can build a whole new web database, I am happy with this work around.A timestamp is a sequence of characters or encoded information identifying when a certain event occurred, usually giving date and time of day, sometimes accurate to a small fraction of a second. I have been using this method of pushing my timezone to +3 for my area and it has been working. I understand the issues Groundspeak is having trying to match a new technology (smartphone) with a 13 year old website. I know it worked for us, I would be curious to see if anyone else had luck with it. I don't know what other effects this might have on our account, but I haven't noticed anything yet. With our GC.com setting at GMT+3, and our iPod set to true local time, all our logs have been submitting with the correct timestamp. Since we are GMT-5, this turned into -5+8 which is +3.

I remember our logs being off, and I believe they were off by 8hrs (not three as stated above!) So we found to get our field notes to post correctly, we fudged our GC.com setting timezone to be equal to actual local + 8.
Prepros log date and time stamp trial#
You can trial and error this.)ĭOH, I see a statement error up above. Change your timezone, check your field note queue and the time has changed. (FYI, submit a field note, leave it in the queue. I haven't seen any ill-effects of this, but I believe it might have something to do with what day/time your PQ's run. Because the server is in GMT-8, my logs are always 3hrs off, so I fudged my account settings, saying I was in GMT+3, and my fieldnotes show up with the 'right' time now. I am in the eastern US, (GMT-5) and that is what time my device is set to. Kind of unsatisfying that all of this statistics might be incorrect on a certain Level - i mean statistics are for the numbers so they should be correct! I do know about databases and that time-values can be a headache, but somewhere out in the galaxy there must be a solution for this - And i hope it´ll be found pretty soon.Īnd now i finally know why my "Most finds on a single day" has always been one Cache less than my own records showed me - Must also be related to timezone stuff. Then i deleted my first log for this cache as otherwise it would have been counted twice as a find for my Profile.Īll in all quite annoying. So i had to log again (late in the evening on 12/12/12 Singapore time) and then i recieved the Souvenir. When checking via Webpage i saw my log being actually posted with a 12/11/12 timestamp However after submitting my log i did not recieve the Souvenir. My iPhone was already adapted to this timezone for almost one week and everything was correct. So i did a Cache on 12/12/12 at around 2 pm Singapore time. I´m from Germany but currently located in Singapore. Hi, just to throw in another experience on this:
