Using data element MATNR in a customer specific database table

Former Member — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:30:53 GMT

Hi experts,

I am having difficulties using standard data element MATNR in a field in a customer specific database table (Z). Same applies to standard data element KPEIN.

When inserting the material number, it looks fine to me in the debugger.

00000-12-345

But when I view the table entries in transaction se16, the field appears as follows:

-345 - -

When I tick off the "Check conversion exits " from Settings -> User parameters in se16, it gets displayed in a more normal way to me:

00000-12-345

Question: Is there anything I need to do with the value before storing it to my customer specific table? Any conversions to internal-format perhaps? If yes, please suggest which standard one I could use.

Best regards,

Magnus

The domain of Data element matnr has a conversion exit(ALPHA) attached to it.

Please check.

Better to create a own domain and de with no conversion exit attached.

This statement makes sure that some conversion is happening at the domain level

Problem solved.

I was not using the INPUT conversion routine on the matnr before saving it as I was in fact storing the value in OUTPUT format.

Thanks for your input!

HI as suggested i have used conversion exit ALPHA at domain level to customized field and table but still its not working ,

it should preceed with 0 eg. if length is 3 of char type and value is 2 then at the time of storing it will store as 002 and not 2

if i use it in program then its working but at domain level its not.

i need valuable suggestion, please help

Thanks
