padding with 0

[Former Member]

hi ,

I am usnig a field LIFNR (vendor) in my ITAB.

ITs length is 10. But my data values are of 6 or 7 digi.

when i pass these values to a FM , ouput comes only when 0 are padded.

Please tell appropriate code.

i am using concatenate '000' itab-lifnr into itab-lifnr.

but as length of lifnr may be 6 , 7 or may be anything then this wont work.

i m sure some better method is there.

Use the conversion exit:

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

you should use function module : CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT and pass this vendor number as import and export parameter.

data: gv_lifnr(10) type n.

loop at itab.

gv_lifnr = itab-lifnr.

pass this (gv_lifnr.)...

endloop

Hi sharadha,

1. we can use the FM

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

2. It will pad zeroes to the left,

automatically,

based upon the field length, and data in it.

Hi,

Use conversion exit...CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

You will have to use a conversion exit. Look at the data element level if there is a separated CONVERSION EXIT for LIFNR field. If not you can use CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT. Pass the vendor no. you have and the output will have the padded zeroes.

Use These FM

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT Conversion exit ALPHA, external->internal

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT Conversion exit ALPHA, internal->external

HI,

data: len type i.

len = strlen(itab-lifnr).

len = 10 - len.

OD len times.

concatenate '0' itab-lifnr into itab-lifnr.

ENDDO.
