Effect
Without the addition FIELD, the
system fields for date and time, sy-datlo,
sy-datum, sy-timlo, and sy-uzeit,
are set to the current value. The content of the system fields sy-dayst,
sy-fdayw, sy-tzone, and sy-zonlo is not updated.

Except for GET TIME, the system fields are updated after starting a program, after sending a
screen, and after changing the

Addition
... FIELD tim
Effect
The addition FIELD is used to pass the current
system time in the format
"hhmmss" to the variable tim instead of sy-uzeit,
and none of the system fields are updated. The return value of the statement has data type t.
tim expects a suitable data object to which the return value can be converted.
