conversion exit alpha output

[Former Member]

hi i am using a code as below and i want to eliminat all leading sapce before lfimg in lips table data

and final entry is

wa_final-quan = it_lfimg-lfimg.

WHERE IT_LFIMB IS TAKING DATA FROM LFIMG TABLE

AND WA_FINAL-QUAN IS TAKING TYPE LIPS-LFIMG (QUANTITY FIELD)

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = wa_final-quan

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = wa_final-quan.

BUT THE OUTPUT IS NOT BEING CONVERTED AS DESIREDS

AS INPUT LFIMG IS 10 WITH SOME SPACE BEFORE IT

IT SHOULD ELIMINATE SAPCE BUT THE FUNCTION MODULE IS NOT DOING SO NOT DELTING SPACES..BEFORE 10

but when i do like this

wa_final-quan = wa_final-quan+ it_lfimg-lfimg.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = wa_final-quan

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = wa_final-quan.

the spaces are deleted

can anyone explain it

hi Arora,

to eliminate leading spaces use:

SHIFT wa_final-quan LEFT DELETING LEADING space.

hope this helps

Hi ,

'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT' is used for deleting leading zeroes but not spaces,

To delete leading spaces use CONDENSE..

CONDENSE wa_final-quan no-gaps.

OR

SHIFT wa_final-quan LEFT DELETING LEADING SPACES.

hi All

My purpose is solved i want to know the differecne in above code i pasted...

like why is it soo when i do

wa_final-unitquan = wa_final-unitquan + it_lfimg-lfimg.

then call function module

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = wa_final-unitquan

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = wa_final-unitquan.

THE RESULD IT OK THE LEADING ZEROS ARE DELETED OR SPACES WHATEVER

BUT IF I JUST DO

wa_final-unitquan = it_lfimg-lfimg

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = wa_final-unitquan

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = wa_final-unitquan.

THE LEADING SPACES OR ZEROS ARE NOT DELETED PLS EXPLAIN THE REASONG FOR THIS

I HAVE GOT THE SOLUTION ALREADY THE FIRST CODE IT WORKING

AND fyi THE FIELD IS LFIMG FROM LIPS QUANTITY FIELD

Hi Arora

CONDENSE wa_final-quan no-gaps. is for removing the spaces ...

'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT' is removing the leading zeros ....

reward points to all helpful answers
