Leading zeros.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can any one please tell me how we will add leading zeros to a field.

I was declared the field field(10) type c, in internal table.

Now i upload the data from flat file to IT.

in flat file the value is '1254367'

Now for this field i want to add leading zeros.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

insted of char take it as numc.

data : field(10) type n.

or use the function module 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

data : field(10) value '12345'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

input = field

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = field.

write : field.

Hi,

Please use FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to add leading zero's to the field.

Hi,

use the FM "CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT".

loop at itab.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

input = itab-fldname

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = itab-fldname

.

modify itab.

endloop.

After this your internal table will have values appended with zeros.

hii

you can use

ls_data-matnr = ls_excel-value.
        w_matnr    = ls_data-matnr.
        CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
          EXPORTING
            input  = w_matnr
          IMPORTING
            output = w_matnr.

        ls_data-matnr  = w_matnr.

thx

hi PB,

catch d value in a local char10 variable. then check its length with strlen. if value is 1234567 den length will b 7. den concatenate '000' local var into internal table field.

hope ur problem is resolved.

plz assign points if it is helpful.

rgds,

Hi,

goto the domain of the field you are using, check if there is any conversion exit, use appropriate conversion_exit_XXXX_input

to convert into internal format.

Thanks,
