Shift Right and Overlay

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a material = HR-SEC

I want to convert it to Internal format 000000000000HR-SEC. The conversion routine is not working.

I want to shift the material field to right and then add zeros using Overlay.

When I use Shift right, only one character is right shifted.

Any clue??

Hi Pranu,

use

shift material by 12 places right.

here is sample code....

data:
w_i(30) type c value 'HR-SEC', " ur material field shd be  > the length by the number of places u r shiftng it.
w_over(12) type c value '000000000000'.
shift w_i right by 12 places.
write:/ w_i.
overlay w_i with w_over.
write:/ w_i.

DATA : s1 type char20,
       i1 TYPE i.

s1 = 'HR-SEC'.
i1 = strlen( s1 ).
i1 = 20 - i1.
OVERLAY s1 WITH '00000000000000000000'.
SHIFT s1 by i1 PLACES RIGHT CIRCULAR.

WRITE s1.
