Set SAP fields to zero or space

[Former Member]

If I want to set the value of a field to zero or space, what value do I put in the input external variant?

For instance, suppose I want to remove "Apt A" from Address Line 2 of an employee's home address. What value would I put on the input file to remove it?

What if I want to change a numeric back to zero?

What if I want to uncheck a checkbox?

Hi Cliff,

To remove an address as line, you should give the input as space, since it will be a character type field.

To change a numeric value to zero, you should provide zero as input and to deselect a check box, space

should be provided as input.

Hello Cliff

The value '@CLEAR' is used to initialize a field which may be preset by SET/GET parameters.

For more details please refer to: [Special Variables|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/72cd3bb961766de10000000a11402f/frameset.htm]

Hello,

This can be done either by clearing the value or by passing space if its a text field.

suppose you want to set the value for the variable I_VALUE.

I_VALUE = &CLEAR..

or

I_VALUE = ' '.

suppose you want to set the value for the variable I_VALUE if its a checkbox

I_VALUE = '_'.

Hope this will help you out.

Thanks & Best regards,
