hi,

You can concatenate the string directly or fill the string with '0' using overlay function also.

Concatenate '00000' str into str1.

overlay str1 with '00000'.

Hope this helps.

take the variable as type N. it will pad zeros

Re: concatenate zeros with the variable

or if you want all the remain space in the variable to be prefixed with zeros you can use numc variable.

data: var1(5) ,

var2(5) type n.

var1 = '10' .

move: var1 to var2 .

run the above code and check

hi if you want to zero pad the variable

use the foll FM

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

input = variable

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = variable

This FM will help you zero pad the remaining characters

actually i will get the length of the zero's to be padded in run time only how will i do that

my req is like this my parameters variable length is of 10 character but my input is of only 5 character so i need to concatenate the remaining character with zeros can anyone help me n doin this

Hi,

Here is the code.

parameters: p_val type char10.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

input = p_val

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = p_val.

write: p_val.

Mark the helpful answers.

Thanks

Option 1 :

data : v_numc(6) type n,

v_char(3) type c.

v_char = '3'.

move v_char to v_numc.

now V_NUMC will have value '000003'.

Option 2 :

by using Concatenate

LETS SAY Your Variable is V_VBELN of 10 characters.

data : v_char(10) type c value '0000000000',
       v_length type i.

  V_LENGTH = STRLEN( V_VBELN ).
  IF V_LENGTH < 10 . 
*--if LENGTH less than 10, in this case only we have to pad the value with zeroes.
    V_LENGTH = 10 - V_LENGTH. 
<b>    CONCATENATE V_CHAR+0(V_LENGTH)
                V_VBELN
                INTO V_VBELN.</b>
  ENDIF.

This will help you.

Srikanth.

hi,

You can use unpack to fill the remaining spaces in the variable with zero's.

unpack str1 to str1.

Hope this helps.

the best way is as described below...

pval -> your parameter.

data : lval(10) type n.

lval = pval.

Here lval will have the value of pval left padded with zeroes...hope your pval is a numeric field.

Re: concatenate zeros with the variable

athavanraja — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 13:07:07 GMT

then simply use a type N variable for parameter

What I understand is during u runtime you have your output as 12345 but you want to display it as 0000012345.

data : w_len TYPE i,

w_zeros TYPE i,

w_maxlen TYPE i VALUE 10,

w_tempqty TYPE p,

w_charqty.

w_tempqty = itab-(your field name).

w_charqty = w_tempqty.

CONDENSE w_charqty.

w_len = ( STRLEN( w_charqty ) ).

w_zeros = w_maxlen - w_len.

DO w_zeros TIMES.

CONCATENATE '0' w_charqty INTO w_charqty.

ENDDO.

hope this helps.
