Appending zeros

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have written a query like this.

DATA: number TYPE C VALUE 0.

DATA: l_name LIKE thead-tdname.

l_length = strlen( l_name ).

IF l_length < 10.

CONCATENATE number l_name INTO l_name.

ENDIF.

I want to apend a zero infront of the number if its total length is less than 10.But sometimes some character values are getting stored in l_name variable.Then in that case i want to give an if condition like if l_name is not equal to numeric value then the control should come out of if condition.How can I give this condition in my program?

HI,

Try using fn. module:

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

Pass the variable to which you want to append zeros and this fn. module will append and return.

hi,

You can use the condition l_name cn '0123456789'. for checking whether it contains any characters other than numerics.

Hi Hema,

Just wondering why don't you just use data type N (numeric), it will automatically appending zero.

Thanks,

HI,

Check the below code....

If l_name CA sy-abcde.

exit.

else.

l_length = strlen( l_name ).

IF l_length < 10.

CONCATENATE number l_name INTO l_name.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

hi!

Raise a check using the relational operator 'CS' and compare whether the variable contains Numeric r character.

if the condition is true, then call the FM - CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to include Zero prefix to the value.

Reward me if useful.

hi.....

you can pass your variable in the function 'conversion_exit_alpha_input.

Whatever blankpces you have inyour variable,it will be replaces by zeroes.The zeroes will be appended in front of the number.

This is a better method to append zeroes.

Hi Hema,

Try the below code.

Example

DATA :n_c(10) TYPE n,

c_n(10) TYPE c.

START-OF-SELECTION.

n_c = '10'.

IF n_c IS INITIAL.

WRITE: 'Char'.

ELSE.

WRITE: n_c.

ENDIF.

your changed code

DATA: l_name LIKE thead-tdname,

l_n(10) TYPE n.

l_name = '10'.

l_n = l_name.

if l_n is not initial.

• Numaric

else.

• Char.

endif.

// l_name = 'AB'.

// l_n = l_name.

Reward if found helpful

Hi,

Try using FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

or

datav : num(10) type n,
          num1 type i value '90880'.

num = num1.
write : num.

hiii

use like below code

ls_data-matnr        = ls_excel-value.
        w_matnr = ls_data-matnr.
        CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
          EXPORTING
            input  = w_matnr
          IMPORTING
            output = w_matnr.

        ls_data-matnr  = w_matnr.

reward if useful

thx

hi,

instead of doin this ,there is a function module

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for 0 padding..

use this one..
