problem in matnr size.

[Former Member]

the user is entering a 40 length material number in the selection screen and on display after fetching the data it is displaying an 18 charcter length matnr.

eg.

s_matnr = f001234567891234rtyu5678deftrgtyumewqdfte

in the output.

it displays :  f001234567891234r!

any solution for this.

Explain what you are trying to do.

MATNR is CHAR 18, It will accept only 18 characters.

Thanks,

i hav declared the matnr datatype as 40 characters only. but then also it is showing only 18 characters in the output.

Standard report or customer one ?

Maybe conversion_exit_matn2_output ?

[Former Member]

should we call this conversion exit in the loop?

[laurent_fournier2]

Material should be declared like mara-matnr.

Use the function mentioned above just before output the material in order to get the desired result.

Is it ALV Report? Check the output length declared.

[Former Member]

yeah its is an alv report.and i am taking matnr from plaf table.

[laurent_fournier2]

If you declare correctly the material, probably it will displayed correctly since during fieldcatalog merge it will get the correct conversion routine.

HI,

If you want to display Material with 40 Char in your report then change MATNR type from MARA-MATNR to Your New defined MATNR type of 40 Char  in Internal Tables where you mentioned MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR.

Hi 

     Vaisakh ,

                  If it is a ALV Report pls give the tablename and ref.fieldname for the field catalog    

                 prepared.

               Then it will be displayed according to the field you take it in the fieldcatalog.

            Ex: While preparing the field Catalog use this code..

                    WA_FIELDCAT-TABNAME =  <IT_TAB>

                    WA_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = <FIELDNAME>

                 And also Use

                WA_FIELDCAT-REF_FIELDNAME = <FIELDNAME>

                WA_FIELDCAT-REF_TABNAME = 'TABLE NAME>.

    Regards,

    Srik.
