Question on conversion exits

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Can we call a conversion exits in a program, like calling a function using CALL FUNCTION?

If yes, how do we do that?

Thank you

Goldie.

Hi,

The calling of Conversion exits is similar to calling FM'S.

In deed Conversion exits are nothing but a Function Modules only.

In addition to Subas:

Find the conversion exit routine via the domain of the dataelement and double click on exit. This will give you the name of the function module:

General function module CONVERSION_EXIT_APLHA_INPUT / OUTPUT.

Hi Goldie,

Check the below code .

...

DATA : l_matnr type matnr.
l_matnr = '131'.
        CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT'
          EXPORTING
            input              = l_matnr
          IMPORTING
            OUTPUT             = l_matnr.


Output = 000000000000000131.

The same we can use output for avoiding the leading zeros 

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT'
