Convert timestamps to date time

Code to quickly convert timestamps (type TZNTSTMPL for instance) to date & time :


DATA : lv_tmstp         TYPE TZNTSTMPL, " 20260326181521000000
       lv_datetime_text TYPE CHAR22.

CONVERT TIME STAMP lv_tmstp TIME ZONE 'UTC' INTO DATE DATA(lv_date) TIME DATA(lv_time). 
" UTC for local time
" lv_date type DATUM = 20260326, WRITE in FR format => 26.03.2026,
" lv_time type tims = 181521, WRITE => 18:15:21.

" Code example to get date time :
" -------------------------------
lv_datetime_text = |{ lv_date DATE = USER } { lv_time(2) }:{ lv_time+2(2) }:{ lv_time+4(2) }|.
" lv_datetime_text : 26.03.2026 - 18:15:21
" (date format can change according to user parameters)
