when is a conversion exit triggered?

[Former Member]

Hi,

are conversion exits only triggered via GUI:s ?

[RichHeilman]

Conversion exits are triggered between the ABAP and screen. Which means that when value is passed to/from the screen the conversion exit is triggered.

You can however use the associated function module for the conversion exit at anytime in your custom programs.

hi,

when ever there is data flows from screen to abap then if there is any conv exit and called.

and usually we use the conversion exits in our normal custom programs also to convert into internal or external format.

If a screen field refers to a domain with a conversion routine, this conversion routine is executed automatically when entries are saved in this screen field or when values are displayed in this screen field.
