type conversion CHAR06 TO CHAR10

Former Member — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:36:41 GMT

Dear experts,

I have an ABAP problem what really drive me nuts and which is absolutly no problem in any sensible programming language.

I want to make a type conversion from CHAR06 to CHAR10.

So far so good...

I have a field with the content "_1001_" (6 digits) and I need it in following format "_____1001_" (10 digits)

When I assign the Char06-Field to the Char10-Field, I get the result : 1001____"

How can I achive "_____1001_"?

Thank you for any helpful answers.

Regards

Thomas

Hello,

Try to put the field from char 6 field according to the offset value, it will put the value in the desired position.

For eg.

data: w_data1(6) type c value 'Test',

w_data2(10) type c.

Now I want the test to be displayed as ' Test ' in my char 10 field.

then, w_data2+4(4) = w_data1.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Jayant.

After assigning, get the position of last character with STRLEN()... (say 6).

then subtract that from 10 (ans 4)

thenuse SHIFT command.

SHIFT <var> RIGHT 4 PLACES... (I don't kno the exact extensions... sorry for that )

Hi,

You can use

write: v_char6 to v_char10 right-justified.

or use the shift command to move a field left or right.

Try like this;

Condense char6_field.
Char10_field+5(4) = char6_field.
