hi folks..

do we have any replacement in terms of codes for the fuction CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT SAP Function module.. i know the use of this fuction module as it converts data in numeric format to character format which is only accpetable in SAP.. cant we do it manualy using the abap codes.. or else it is the only option to do so????

Manually you could use the code as below


DATA: lv_lifnr TYPE lifnr VALUE '0000000945'.

SHIFT lv_lifnr LEFT DELETING LEADING 0.

has the same effect as the function CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT but i would suggest using the function.

thanks for your reply..

but the code seems to be like converting character format "00000951" to numeric format as "951".. you have asked to delete the leading zeroes nd shift to the left side.. i think i have got it right... so please revert me back on this...

Hi Ram,

I guess Isaac got a little confused, anyways try the below code, forgot to add...just curious to know the reason behind your post...any specific reason why you want to avoid the FMs.


DATA: l_vbeln TYPE vbeln VALUE '12345',
      l_overlay TYPE vbeln VALUE '0000000000'.

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

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
  EXPORTING
    input         = l_vbeln
 IMPORTING
   OUTPUT        = l_vbeln.

* Code to replace Conversion exit alpha input
SHIFT l_vbeln RIGHT DELETING TRAILING space.
OVERLAY l_vbeln WITH l_overlay.

* Code to replace Conversion exit alpha output
SHIFT l_vbeln LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

ENDIF.

Regards,

Chen

Hi,

You can try this,

I know it is not a smart solution, but i can think only this...

data: w_text_1(100) VALUE '123LOKESH37647TAREY'.

         REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '0' IN w_text_1 WITH ' '.
         REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '1' IN w_text_1 WITH ' '.
         REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '2' IN w_text_1 WITH ' '.
         REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '3' IN w_text_1 WITH ' '.
         REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '4' IN w_text_1 WITH ' '.
         REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '5' IN w_text_1 WITH ' '.
         REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '6' IN w_text_1 WITH ' '.
         REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '7' IN w_text_1 WITH ' '.
         REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '8' IN w_text_1 WITH ' '.
         REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '9' IN w_text_1 WITH ' '.
