HI Jay,

Use function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT as follows:

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = v_var1

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = v_var1

This should solve your problem. If it doesnt, convert v_var1 into a character field and pass it to the above function module. This will definitely work.

cheers,

Jay,

SHIFT v_var1 right deleting TRAILING space.

TRANSLATE v_var1 USING ' 0'.

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT converts any number into a string fill with zeroes, with the number at the extreme right

Example:

input = 123

output = 0000000000000...000000000000123

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT converts any number with zeroes right into a simple integer

Example:

input = 00000000000123

output = 123

It's not documentated, but it works. Try

unpack v_var1.
