Time Data and Validity Period
· Time data always applies to a specific validity period.
· The validity periods of different types of time data are not always the same as the date selection period specified in the selection screen.

Date selection period ---------------
Leave -------------

· PROVIDE in this case is therefore not used for time infotypes.


Importing Time Data
· GET PERNR reads all time infotypes from the lowest to highest system data, not only those within the date selection period.
· To prevent memory overload, add MODE N to the infotype declaration. This prevents the logical database from importing all data into infotype tables at GET PERNR.
· Use macro RP-READ-ALL-TIME-ITY to fill infotype table.

INFOTYPES: 2001 MODE N.
GET PERNR.
RP-READ-ALL-TIME-ITY PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
LOOP AT P0021.
If P0021-XYZ = ' '. A=B. Endif.
ENDLOOP.

Processing Time Data
· Once data is imported into infotype tables, you can use an internal table to process the interested data.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
BUKRS LIKE P0001-BUKRS, "COMPANY
WERKS LIKE P0001-WERKS, "PERSONNEL AREA
AWART LIKE P2001-AWART, "ABS./ATTEND. TYPE
ASWTG LIKE P2001-ASWTG, "ABS./ATTEND. DAYS
END OF ITAB.
GET PERNR.
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST P0001 SAPCE PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
CLEAR ITAB.
ITAB-BUKRS = P0001-BURKS. ITAB-WERKS = P0001-WERKS.
RP-READ-ALL-TIME-ITY PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
LOOP AT P2001.
ITAB-AWART = P2001-AWART. ITAB-ASWTG = P2001-ASWTG.
COLLECT ITAB. (OR: APPEND ITAB.)
ENDLOOP.
