type conversion

[Former Member]

Hi all!

i want to map an integer value into a char2 field. the char 2 field must have a leading zero. => INT value 1 should become CHAR2 '01'.

how do you do that? thanks in advance.

Is it okay, if you use NUMC ?

data: lv_intvalue type i,

lv_numcvalue(2) type n.

lv_intvalue = 1.

lv_numcvalue = lv_intvalue.

write: lv_numcvalue.

alternatively you can use FM, <b>CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT</b>

Hi Cristoph

First assign integer value to the character variable. Then use the statement <b>"OVERLAY"</b>.

<u><b>e.g.</b></u>

lv_char = lv_int .
OVERLAY lv_char WITH '00' .

Personally I much prefer the use of NUMC type variable and the CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT FM, it's much cleaner and makes proper use of data types, the second solution (right-justification of field value and overlay) will work - but it's really a workaround rather than a true solution.

Particularly if the variable has to be used elsewhere appropriat use of correct data types is a better way forward.

Use NUMC only it is very easy conversion..

One may use the UNPACK statement.
