You can convert these data to internally stored data like this...

DATA: m(7) TYPE c.
DESCRIBE FIELD field EDIT MASK m.
WRITE: field USING EDIT MASK m.
(or)
WRITE field TO field USING EDIT MASK m.

hai,

for the units to convert you should use the conversion exit in the Following way.

data: unit(3) type c 'kg'.

write unit to unit using edit mask '==<name of conversion exit>.

Call CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT

and pass the unit and import a plain 4 character field. This will make sure that the 4 character field contains data in output format.

Then pass it to BDC.

Hi babita,

1. We don't have to worry about the

internal format.

2. JUST AS IT IS ENTERED ON THE SCREEN,

IN THE SAME WAY (in the same format)

we need to pass the value

to the bdc field.

3. Rest the system will take care.

4. FOR EG.

DATES ARE STORED IN TABLE IN - YYYYMMDD FORMAT

BUT IN BDC WE GIVE. DD.MM.YYYY

regards,

amit m.

just befor mapping, u call the conversion exit.

declare a char variable with the number of characters u want and in the converion_exit fn module, pass the unit which u want to convert as importing and the variable u declared with required length as exporting
