Time Formats The time format is specified by column TIMEFM, where 'hh', 'mm', and 'ss' stand for hour, minute, and second. One 24-hour format and several 12-hour formats are available: TIMEFMTime Format 024-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 standard ISO-8601.
The 12-hour formats are specific for specific 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 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 displayed as 12:00:00.
For the 12-hour formats of values '3' and '2', midnight and noon are displayed as 00:00:00.
Notes
All time formats are suitable for the display of times. Only the 24-hour format is suitable for the display of a period of time, that is, the duration between two points in time. It does not make sense to display AM/am and PM/pm for a period of time.
The class CL_ABAP_TIMEFM contains a help method for dealing with time formats.
