Leading Zeros during Code Execution

[Former Member]

I'm having a problem in R/3 release 4.6C. I am obtaining the EAN11 number from MARA and I need to retrieve 7 digits starting from the 3rd position. I have numerous ean11 numbers that have 1 or 2 leading zeros. The leading zeros are not displaying during debugging and, as a result, I am not retrieving the correct value.

Example:

EAN11: 00300405012345 (I need to retrieve: 3004050)

EAN11 in debugger: 300405012345 (during execution will retrieve: 0405012).

Any suggestions?

after getting the value from mara of the field use conversion exits

Use conversition routins

CONVERSION_EXIT_EAN11_INPUT

CONVERSION_EXIT_EAN11_OUTPUT.

Use one of the following FMs to convert the internal format into external format:

CONVERSION_EXIT_EAN11_INPUT

CONVERSION_EXIT_EAN11_OUTPUT

and then take the offset.

hi,

data: ws_ean11 type mara-ean11.

call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

exporting

input = ws_ean11

importing

output = ws_ean11.

ws_ean11 = ws_ean11+2(7).

Thanks, this function appears to be my best option. The EAN11 conversion functions did nothing but return to the same result.
