Parameter Value.

ramco1917 — Fri, 14 May 2021 11:27:52 GMT

I have below code . In Parameter i have to enter value - 000000000000000038.

I want that i should enter only 38 . Since Value in Matnr is stored as 38.

REPORT  ZABAP_GETMATERIALDETAILS.

data : wa_mara type mara.
PARAMETERS : p_matnr type mara-matnr.
CALL FUNCTION 'ZABAP_GETMATERIALDETAILS'
  EXPORTING
    IM_MATNR       = p_matnr
 IMPORTING
   EX_MARA        = wa_mara
.

Write : SY-SUBRC.
*WRITE : WA_MARA-MATNR, WA_MARA-MTART, WA_MARA-MEINS, WA_MARA-MBRSH .
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
 WRITE : WA_MARA-MATNR, WA_MARA-MTART, WA_MARA-MEINS, WA_MARA-MBRSH .
ENDIF.

Thanks

Do not use SHIFT.

Go to SE11, look at the domain for the data element MATNR. You'll see it has a conversion exit called MATN1. This means there are function modules to convert from the external (your parameter) to the internal (how it's held on the database). These are:

CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT and

CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT

Use these function modules.

Other alternative is to use the keyword WRITE TO, maybe have a look here regarding the syntax

https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_751_index_htm/7.51/en-us/abapwrite_to.htm

it should execute the conversion(routines)

Hi Matthew

Yes. Can u pls help me with my scenario where i should write to access this function in my code.

Internally i think Matnr is saved as 000000000000000045 (with leading Zeros) or i am wrong

Thanks

Hi Tobias

How i can use Shift in my code.

Thanks

Use the INPUT function module just before you call your Z_ function module. Internally, leading zeros are used, yes.

Don't use the solution. First of all, Tobias is converting from 000000000000000038 to 38 and I think you want form 38 to 000000000000000038, so using the conversion FM is easiest (or WRITE... USING EDIT MASK '==MATN1' )

Secondly, it won't help you if you encounter conversion functions of a different kind somewhere else.

Your question and the comments are a lot confusing.

With this line of code:

PARAMETERS : p_matnr type mara-matnr.

if you type "38" in P_MATNR screen field, the variable P_MATNR will automatically contain the value "000000000000000038" because of the conversion exit defined by MARA-MATNR.

Why do you need to convert it?

NB: ZABAP_GETMATERIALDETAILS should work with value "000000000000000038", not with value "38". That would probably be a bad design if it works only with "38".
