Fill fields

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have separated every elements of sdata of an idoc to a internal table. and now i want to fill the field that are empty with zeros. for example i have a field with size 8 that is empty, i want to fill it with eight zeros.

use the statement:

if itab-field1 is initial.

replace all occurances of space with '0' in itab-field1.

endif.

If they are CHAR fields you can assign '00000000' value to the field.

You can declare it as a field of type N.. which will place zeroes if there is no value!

hi,

Declare the <b>field as type N</b>

Hi,

Loop at the internal table (ITAB)

If ITAB-FIELD is initial

ITAB-FIELD = '0'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = ITAB-FIELD

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = ITAB-FIELD.

Endif.

Endloop.

This way you don’t need to worry about the length of the field.
