Modifying ALPHA routine for particular field

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

I want to modify a particular field external format.This can be achieved by conversion routine of the field.

The conversion routine of the field is ALPHA routine.

How can i modify ALPHA routine for particular field(Custom field) only.

The custom field is in custom tables and even some standard transactions.

Thanks,

If it is a custom field, then define your own data element and domain and write your own conversion routine.

Changing the standard one would be the worst possible approach for your requirement.

1. Create an FM with similar input/output parameters as CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT

2. Create custom domain for your custom field in SE11. In the definition tab, set the conversion routine as the one created in step-1.
