System Variables

System Variables

SAP uses system variables to set default values for some BAPI import parameters. They provide information, such as current date and time for the operating system on which SAP runs. System variables start with “SY-”. For example, SY-DATLO represents the local date of the SAP system.
PowerCenter provides values for some system variables when it needs them to define default input values for BAPI/RFC parameters. It uses the values as default input values for some ports of BAPI/RFC transformations. It uses these default values when there is no input for a port or when the port is not connected to an upstream transformation or source.
PowerCenter provides the following system variables:
System Variable Name
Description
SY-LANGU
Log in language from the SAP R/3 application connection properties.
SY-MODNO

SY-MANDT

SY-DATUM
Local date of the PowerCenter Integration Service machine processing the data.
SY-UZEIT
Local time of the PowerCenter Integration Service machine processing the data.
SY-UNAME
Logon user ID from the SAP R/3 application connection properties.
SY-HOST
SAP host name from the SAP R/3 application connection properties.
