We use a conversion exit to define a jump to a conversion routine for a column of your output table. As the exit we specify the <conv> part of a function module called CONVERSION_EXIT_ <conv> _OUTPUT .

For example, you can use conversion exit ALPHA (see function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT ) to suppress leading zeros of account numbers.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

input = '00000123'

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = data

Dta will contain 123 as output .

hope this helps

Hi,

This option will come into picture while viewing the entries in the table.

While showing the results, it will execute the conversion routines.

eg for table MARA ( With Conversion exit option )

Matnr will appear like 000000000000011 ( only Nummeric MATNR )

With out Conversion exit, same MATNR will apper as 11

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Raj

actually it will be the opposite:

with conversion exit: 11

without conversion exit: 000000000000011 (==> this is the format the data is stored in the table)
