CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for characters

Former Member — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 19:22:27 GMT

Hi Friends,

is there a function module or any program to convert strings into their real length .

E.g.

There is variable defined like see below.

data lv_var   TYPE string.
data lv_var2 TYPE CHAR30.
 lv_var2  = 'Test'.

The output lv_var2   must be:
NOT Test
BUT '                          Test'
OR  'Test                          '

Because of the length of variable type.

Just kind of CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for characters.

Regards

Hello Marco,

In this example you are passing to variable type char...

by the way if you are not passing leading space it will not take as ' test'

and there is no count on trailing space with type char or string type..

Thanks
