MATNR is of length 18 char

if you wants to display just 8 char

then use offset

&MATNR+10(8)&

if it is 13 char then

or &MATNR+5(8)&

or you can write &MATNR(8&

Hi,

You can use offset while printing in the sapscript.

You can address a section of a string in any statement in which non-numeric elementary ABAP types or structures that do not contain internal tables occur using the following syntax:

<f>[+<o>][(<l>)]

By specifying an offset <o> and a length (<l>) directly after the field name <f>, you can address the part of the field starting at position <o>1 with length <l> as though it were an independent data object.

Sample code is given below.

DATA TIME TYPE T VALUE '172545'.

WRITE TIME.

WRITE / TIME+2(2).

CLEAR TIME+2(4).

WRITE / TIME.

The output appears as follows:

172545

170000

plz reward points if helpful or if it solves ur query.

Thanks

Hi SK ,

First go and check into data base table the lenth of test data ,

if its like 0000000094227 .

then You can truncate the leading zeros to 00094227 . using function module

There are two very important functional modules ,which are used to add zeroes(‘0’) & Remove zeroes(‘0’) from numeric string input respectively.

The functional module ‘CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT’ comes handy in this situation.

Another functional module ‘CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT’ is used to reverse the Operations performed by the above FM.

Let us look up the first case.

Function Module: CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

PARAMETER:

Importing Parameter: Input of type ‘C’

Exporting Parameter: Output of type ‘C’.

This function module is use to add zeroes (‘0’), to the left of the numeric string input ,after making the input numeric string right justified .

If the input string is non-numeric (including alphanumeric) , string is stored as left justified ,with blanks towards the right.

If the string is numeric say vehicle number , vlcvehicle-vhcle( 10 char)

INPUT : ‘123456’

OUTPUT : ‘0000123456’

Whereas if string is non-numeric

INPUT : ’ABCD’

OUTPUT: ‘ABCD’.

Hope this will solve your problem.
