If you declare the internal table data same as Ztable fields with 10 char for Vbeln it is updated with 10 characters only.

You might have used as eight char field in internal table

Similarly take date field as sy-datum and in the formay YYYYMMDD.

then the data is correctly uploaded into the databse table

Venkat,

I hope this can help you.

You can use the statement CONCATENATE to add zeros before the field.

Check the example:

REPORT ZTESTE1.

DATA: NUMBER(10) TYPE C VALUE '80000004'.

CONSTANTS: C_00(2) TYPE C VALUE '00'.

CONCATENATE C_00 NUMBER INTO NUMBER.

The result will be '0080000004' .

To correct the date follow the example:

DATA: V_DATE_XL(8) TYPE C VALUE '20070626',

V_DAY(2) TYPE C,

V_MONTH(2) TYPE C,

V_YEAR(4) TYPE C,

V_FINAL_DATE(8) TYPE C.

V_YEAR = V_DATE_XL(4).

V_MONTH = V_DATE_XL+4(2).

V_DAY = V_DATE_XL+6(2).

CONCATENATE V_DAY V_MONTH V_YEAR INTO V_FINAL_DATE.

The result will be '26062007'

Hi Venkat,

Converting your field to 10 digits before uploading. You can do that in excel itself. Select the whole column. Right Click. Format Cells. Custom and type in 10 zeros.

Date format: Convert your date to yyyymmdd using FM's. Search the forum for "convert date to external" and you will get the required FM.

Reward if useful.

Thanks

Aneesh.
