I am having one string field...

data : lv_str type string...

i m passing lfa1-name1 which is having around 10 char(suppose)...in the output i need to set this field as 24 chars..

if pass lv_str = 'RAM'.

the left space for the string field set as 24 chars i need to pass as null spaces...

so..for this lv_str in the output i need tp show RAM and 21 blank spaces after it...

Hi,

Check this.

Instead of string try with char


data : lv_str(24) type c.

lv_str = 'RAM'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
input = lv_str
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = lv_str.

write: lv_str.

Hi,

Well then if ur meaning 21 zero's before the value and you have to use only string, even this will work


data : lv_str(24) type string.
 
lv_str = 'RAM'.
 
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
input = lv_str
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = lv_str.
 
write: lv_str.

Hi,

A string will consider zeros with space and thus using string alone you cant do this. Declare one more char variable and try this.


data: var type string.
data: var1(24)  type c.

var = 'RAM'.
var1 = var.

translate var1 using '0'.

write: var1.

data : lv_str type string,
          lv_int typ i.

lv_str = 'RAM'.
lv_int = strlen( lv_str ).

lv_int = 24 - lv_int.

do lv_int times.
  concatenate lv_str space into lv_str.
enddo.
