Command for remove zeros in sapscript

Former Member — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 22:10:46 GMT

Hello:

I need to remove zeros of a variable in a sapscript,

TALGN = 0000427795776

and I need to remove the zeros so:

TALGN = 427795776

But sometimes will be 3, 4 or more zeros, is there a way to do it with a sapscript command? or this should be done in the program?

Best regards and thank you for your help.

Miriam

&SYMBOL(Z)& Suppress leading zeros &MATNR(Z)&,

leading zeros (functionality of FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT) keep in print program and pass this variable to script after you removed leading zeros.

Thanks,

Check the below code.

data a(9) value '000012345'.

SHIFT a LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.

write:/ a.

Output will be : 12345

Hi Miriam, Certain symbol values are output with leading zeros. If you wish to suppress these, you may do so with the Z option. Syntax

&TALGN(Z)&

Hi Miriam,

In SAP Scripts , you have Layout Set Symbols which you can use for doing things like :-

Getting Offset - &SYMBOL+4&

Length - &SYMBOL(5)&

If symbol is initial ,output nothing - &SYMBOL(I)&

Suppress Leading zeroes - &SYMBOL(Z)&.

And many more such symbols.

Hence, you dunt need to write the code in your driving program and pass to the Script.

You can directly use these symbols in your script and get things done in simple manner.

Hope this helps...

Samreen...
