field conversion.

Hi,

im using an integer to increment a counter and i need to move it in to a char. what if i need a zero '0' before the count if the number is less than 10 in my char field.

Try:

DATA: f1(10) VALUE '123'.

WRITE: /001 f1.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
  EXPORTING
    input  = f1
  IMPORTING
    output = f1.

WRITE: /001 f1.

use this demo code -

data: d_integer type i ,

d_char(2) type N.

d_integer = 4.

d_char = d_integer.

write: d_char.

Hi Ravi,

DATA V_INT TYPE I VALUE '5'.

DATA V_CHAR(16).

DATA V_NUMBER(2).

IF V_INT < '10'.

V_CHAR = V_INT.

CONDENSE V_CHAR NO-GAPS.

CONCATNATE '0' V_CHAR INTO V_NUMBER.

ELSE.

V_CHAR = V_INT.

CONDENSE V_CHAR NO-GAPS.

V_NUMBER = V_CHAR.

ENDIF.

Hi Ravi

We can do the same by declaring a variable of type N with required length.

We can perform airthematic operations as long as only numericals exist.

The advantage with data type N is by default we will be having LEADING ZEROES for numbers.

data: l_int type i value '2',
        l_num(2) type N.

l_num = l_int.
write:/ 'Type I:', l_int,
     / 'Type N:', l_num.

Dear Ravi,

Go through the following chunk of code:

DATA: GV_IDX1 TYPE I,

GV_IDX2(2) TYPE N.

DO.

GV_IDX1 = GV_IDX1 + 1.

GV_IDX2 = GV_IDX1.

WRITE: / GV_IDX1,

GV_IDX2.

IF GV_IDX1 GT 10.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

The O/P will be:

1 01

2 02

3 03

. .

. .

9 09

10 10

Use Data Type NUMC inorder to carry out this type of operation.

i dont know whether your counter is less than 100 or not if it is so then

you can use type n which will place 0 before your variable

data : v_data(2) type n.

otherwise

you can check the counter whether it is lt 10 or not

if counter lt 100.

v_data = counter.

<now char field > = v_data.

else.

directly take char fied = counter.
