Yes you can do that before selection ....

.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
  EXPORTING
    input         = v_matnr
  IMPORTING
    OUTPUT        = v_matnr
          .

 select single * from mara where matnr = v_matnr.

Hi,

If you use the same field in output then it will add leading 0

Hi,

The FM will add 0 before the field.

Like if Material no. 12 it will add 16 0's before 12

ex.00000000012

The FM Conversion exitalpha_output will trim leading 0.

It converts any number with zeroes right into a simple integer

hi,

If you want to trim the 0's before displaying then use

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT


CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
  EXPORTING
    input         = v_matnr
  IMPORTING
    OUTPUT        = v_matnr
          .

Hi Manoj,

FU CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

____________________________________________________

Short text

Conversion exit ALPHA, external->internal

ALPHA conversion is used especially with account numbers. During

conversion from the external to the internal format, the system checks

to see if input in the INPUT field is purely numeric, that is, if this

input consists only of numbers, possibly with spaces before and after

them. If this is the case, then the number string is inserted right-

justified in the display field OUTPUT and all spaces to the left of the

value are filled with zeroes ('0'). If the input is not purely numeric,

it is inserted in the display field from left to right and all extra

spaces are filled with blanks.

Example:

(Input field and output field are both eight characters in length)

1. '1234 ' > '00001234'

2. 'ABCD ' > 'ABCD '

3. ' 1234 ' > '00001234'

Conversion from the internal to the external format (function module

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT) is undertaken in exactly the opposite

manner.
