Former Member — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 10:00:41 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have a csv file input that contains matnr field which just have n characters ( ex.: 1000956) and i would like to transform this field into matnr type ( 18 characters => 000000000001000956) which is used in table.

Thank you for you answers.

Best regards.

Mathew.

Hi,

You can define a variable of type matnr and assign the value to it directly

You can use the CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT

Function Module to convert it to internal format.

shift textvar right deleting trailing spaces.
matnr = textvar.
overlay matnr with '000000000000000000'.

Hi,

try this:

DATA: matnr like mara-matnr.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = '12345678'

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = matnr.
