Hi,

Move that into character variable and unpack it and then use STRLEN funtion on the char variable .

data:v_char(7).

v_char = w_xyz.

unpack v_char to v_char.

n = strlen(v_char).

Shift <Variable> left deleting leading '0'.

use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT =w_xyz

IMPORTING

OUTPUT =w_xyz

Hi,

There is a simple way to achieve that : just use shift statement.

SHIFT w_xyz LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.

I think you should use:

SHIFT w_xyz LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
