SY-UZEIT TABLE
CS,NS,CP,NP,CO,CN LENGTH WorkArea: is a single line variable where internal table transfers
CONDENSE, STRLEN() individual record for processing. For internal table declared with
header, the header is the workarea. For internal table without
CONCATENATE, SPLIT header, a separate workarea needs to be explicitly defined
SubString +x(n)
