Hi all,

I have done a report which has vendor number, cost center and wbs element using ALV grid display. I have declared all the fields as in the database fields. when filter is applied on these fields the data is not retrieved. Only after padding zeroes to the input data i get the data.Is there any way to avoid entering the zeroes manually? I know we can use the conversion exit alpha function module , but how will that apply to the filter? If any one is aware please help.

Have you defined the fields (vendor,wbs,cc) with type (e.g. lfa1-lifnr)?

Ya Kishan This i have kept it as a last option , but I wanted to know why it is not working in the grid display. But if we see in SE16 we can filter for any character field and it pads itself, how is it possible. so i thought that there should be some standard way of doing it.
