Hi,

I have this requirement.Suppose I have a number say 375 I need to have concatenate 8 zeroes in front so that the total number of digits is equal to 11.If the number is say 75,then I need to have 9 zeroes so that the total digits is still 11.The zeroes have to be at the front of 75.Can anyone tell how to do this using ABAP statements

use FM.

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

DATA : test_field(11).

call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

exporting

input = '375'

importing

output = test_field.

write:/ test_field.

o/p : 00000000375

Hai,

we have a function module for that, the name is 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

to use this declare a variable of required length and asign the value required and pass this to the given FM.

Eg:

DATA v(10) type c vlalue '123'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING input = v

IMPORTING output = v.

here u get the value 0000000123 into variable V.

i think this meets ur requirement.

hello,

Pls find below the differences betweeen the two most frquently used coversion exit.

REPORT ZTEST1 .

*removing the leading zeros in the character string.

data : d_char1(5) type c value '00013'.

data : d_char2(2) type c.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = d_char1

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = d_char2.

write : d_char2.

*adding the leading zeros in the character string.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = d_char2

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = d_char1.

write 😕 d_char1.

The output wud lok like as

00013

Thanks,

Senthil..
