use converion exit here:

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT Conversion exit ALPHA, external->internal

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT Conversion exit ALPHA, internal->external

else

move it to string and then concatenate the zeros if u knwo the exact no of them...

reward points if it helps

If the value is data object of a standard table, then check out the conversion rule for the object.

For instance, MATNR conversion rule is ALPHA and to pad zero's a FM called CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT is used.

data: a(10) type p value '1234909098'.

data: b(10) type c value '1234909098'.

data: c(18) type n.

move a to c.

write:/ c.

move b to c.

write:/ c.
