Padding Zeros

[Former Member]

I know there are a lot of threads that talk about padding zeros, but I could not find the solution to my prolem by seraching threads.

Here it is ... how do convert below ...

123.99 to 0123.99

23.99 to 0023.99

2.99 to 0002.99

I want that single statement to dynamically pad zeros before the numbers, can MASK EDIT do it? or CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT, or do I need to use SHIFT statement or something else?

Please suggest, a small code snippet would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi,

You can use function module 'HRPBSNO_FORMAT_ZERO' for adding zeros to left.

Data: pfield1 TYPE p DECIMALS 2 VALUE '123.99',

cfield1(20) type c.

cfield1 = pfield1.

CALL FUNCTION 'HRPBSNO_FORMAT_ZERO'

EXPORTING

left = '4'

right = '2'

in_separator = ' '

out_separator = '.'

CHANGING

str = cfield1.

Hope this helps,

Hi Frozen Monkey,

use WRITE, press F1m check USING EDIT MASK option.
