Simple string operation

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I hav a really simple question but the ideas I have for implementing it, aren't really good in my opinion, so I ask you. I hope you can help me

I have a character field, that should be converted into another character field with a fixed size (of three characters). No I want to have the folowwing conversion:

Input: '1'

Output: '001'

Input: '15'

Output: '015'

Input: ''777'

Output: ''777'

So I want to fill the character fields with leading zeros... The field is not in the data dictionary so that I think that I can't use the ALPHA-function modules for conversion.

Can you help me? Thanks a lot

Kind regards

Markus

declare it as N type and pass it ..

data : v_char(2) type c value '11',
         v_numc(3) type n.

 v_numc = v_char.

write : v_numc.

Hi,

1.Calculate string length and store in seperate variable(var1).

2.if var1 = 1.

concatenate '00' '1' into var2.

elseif var1 = 2.

concatenate '0' '15' into var2.

else.

var2 = '777'.

Hi,

try this code

data : v_num(3) type c value '1'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = v_num

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = v_num.

write : v_num.
