a field of type I is showing Zero in display mode

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have module pool program, with create, change and display buttons.

Here I have a field PERNR type PERNR_D.

This field is not a mandatory field. so, I am creating a record without entering any value in this.

But when I go into display for this record, it is showing '0'.

How to remove single zero in display mode?

I tried with the following code but it is not working for me.

if zstruct-zpernr eq '00000000'.

write zstruct-zpernr to zstruct-zpernr no-zero.

endif.

Please advise me here

Hi:

It has NUMC - Character string with only digits so it shows 0 in the case of empty.

Just declare it by CHAR08 and move the value when it requires.

but,

Here the field should accept only numbers or numerical values.

If i diclare this as char08, this may cause user to enter other than numbers..

is there any other suggestions?

PERNR_D is a data element of type NUMC, its default value is 0, but not the default value SPACE of CHAR. So you always get 0 in your table or internal table.

When you output the field to screen using WRITE or in a Table Control or ALV, you can omit 0 by using NO-ZERO or certain parameters.

Hi,

try this.

if zstruct-zpernr CO '0'.

write zstruct-zpernr to zstruct-zpernr no-zero.

endif.

Or if u want to use char08 ,then give validation.

if zstruct-zpernr CO '0123456789'.

write code.

else.

message 'Do not enter characters' type 'E' display like 'S'.

endif.

I tried all the ways except using char08.

as permy spec, I should not use this type.

So,

I tried to remove '0' by using the following code.but it is giving error as follows.

Please help me

Code:

if Zstruct-zpernr CO '0'.

• if ( Zstruct-zpernr eq '00000000' ) or (Zstruct-zpernr is initial ).

write Zstruct-zpernr to Zstruct-zpernr no-zero.

endif.
