"Retrieving the current time in UTC, e.g. 152450
DATA(utc_time) = cl_abap_context_info=>get_system_time( ).

"Using XCO
"Notes:
"- The results of the following chained statements are of type string.
"- With the 'as' method, a given format (available via xco_cp_time=>format)
"  is applied to the time. Several options are available.
"- The 'time' method has an optional importing parameter for specifying the
"  time zone. By default, the user's time zone is used. For the specification,
"  you can use xco_cp_time=>time_zone.

"The following three examples
"- do not specify the optional importing parameter for the 'time' method. In
"  this case, the user time zone is used implicitly.
"- specify a specific format in the 'as' method.

"e.g. 160907
DATA(time_abap) = xco_cp=>sy->time( )->as( xco_cp_time=>format->abap )->value.

"e.g. 160907
DATA(time_basic) = xco_cp=>sy->time( )->as( xco_cp_time=>format->iso_8601_basic )->value.

"e.g. 16:09:07
DATA(time_ext) = xco_cp=>sy->time( )->as( xco_cp_time=>format->iso_8601_extended )->value.

"Specifying the time zone explicitly in the 'time' method
"The following method call retrieves the current user time.
DATA(time_user_tz) = xco_cp=>sy->time( xco_cp_time=>time_zone->user
                                )->as( xco_cp_time=>format->iso_8601_basic
                                )->value.

"Specifying the UTC time zone
DATA(time_utc_tz) = xco_cp=>sy->time( xco_cp_time=>time_zone->utc
                                )->as( xco_cp_time=>format->iso_8601_basic
                                )->value.
