Conversion Exit for Functional Location

vijayjanoti — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 15:32:55 GMT

Hi Everyone,

As per Conversion Exit i.e. CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT can be used to change the format of given field. For this in latest ABAP syntax we can use:

DATA(lv_real) = |{ lv_kunnr ALPHA = IN/OUT } |.

Do we have similar syntax provided by SAP for CONVERSION_EXIT_TPLNR_INPUT or CONVERSION_EXIT_TPLNR_OUTPUT?

As of now ABAP support only for alpha Conversion . not all CONVERSION_EXIT_*. however there are around 18 formatting options available base on ABAP version.

if non are matching the requirement use the conversion exit inside the function method. Example

Method conversion_tplnr
Importing iv_input_TPLNR type kunnr
returning re_output type kunnr .

Method conversion_tplnr
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_TPLNR_OUTPUT'
exporting 
input =  v_input_TPLNR 
importing
output = re_output.


DATA(lv_real) = conversion_tplnr( lv_kunnr ).

Check online documentation ALPHA = IN|OUT|RAW|(dobj)|expr ...(in latest version only ALPHA)
For CONVERSION_EXIT_<any>_OUTPUT, you can use statement WRITE, TO
