sy
sy('<SAP_variable>')varchar(255): The value of the SAP system variable. You may need to recast the return value to the actual data type of the system variable in SAP.
<SAP_variable>: A string value containing the name of the SAP system variable. This value is not case sensitive. Enclose the name in single quotation marks (').
When the sy function is executed, the software generates the appropriate function call in the ABAP for the ABAP data flow (appends SY- to the <SAP_variable > that you specify) and returns the result of the function call at run time.
The table SYST in SAP lists the available system variable, their data types, and descriptions.
If the given <SAP_variable > does not exist in SAP, a run-time error will be returned:
ABAP program <Generated ABAP Program> syntax error: <The data object "SY" has no component called "ABC">.
No value is returned when this error occurs.
