Leading zero problem!

[Former Member]

Hi everybody!

My requirement is that i want a field with fixed length so that if i delete leading zero by using shift or conversion exit the length should not vary(no should not move left).

i.e if the field value is '000567' then i need the output as ' 567', zero's to be replaced by blank characters.

pls help.

HI,

SHIFT var LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.

<b>example:</b>

data:var(5) value '00123'.

write:/ var.

SHIFT var LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.

write:/ var.

SHIFT <variable> LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.

or

use this function module

<b>CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT</b> converts any number with zeroes right into a simple integer

Example:

input = 00000000000123

output = 123

Hi,

Use translate.

data c1(6) value '000567'.

data i1 type i.

translate c1 using ' 567'.

i1 = strlen( c1 ).

write c1.

write i1.

Hi Mirza,

Use FM 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

for eg.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

input = <varb>

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = <varb> .

hope this helps.

var = '00028'.

write var using edit mask '==ALPHA'.
