Leading zeros to alphanumeric string

Former Member — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 12:38:58 GMT

Hello all ,

Does anybody know any function module to put leading zeros to an alphanumeric sequence (18 characters)?

Example : 12wer should be '000000000000012wer'

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT only works with numbers.

Thanks in advance ,

U can use the below code.

data : lcons(18) type c value '000000000000000000',

lstring(36) type c.

==>lval is your value.

concatenate lcons lval to lstring.

write lstring(18) to lval.

Hi Snehal,

<pre>

shift [field] right deleting trailing ' '.

replace ' ' in [field] with '0'.

</pre>

OK?
