[NEW SYNTAX] ABAP: In a FOR () in () INDEX INTO [2 digits]

[rachidroughi]

Dear,

I am reading a table with an INDEX INTO tabix, but I would like to have 2 digits in my LV_TABIX.

    DATA(lt_tree) = VALUE wdy_key_value_list(
                                    FOR ls_data  IN gi_data
                                         INDEX INTO lv_tabix ( key = lv_tabix ) ) . 

Currently, my KEY contains : 1,2,3,4,5

and I would like formatted values like this: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05.

Any idea ?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Rachid

Resolved by creating a DDIC Type Numc on 2 digits.

You should avoid creating DDIC types when it's only for internal ABAP processing.

You may use a String Template with the formatting options WIDTH, ALIGN, PAD.

Minimal reproducible example:

DATA(lt_tree) = VALUE string_table(
                FOR lv_tabix = 1 WHILE lv_tabix <= 3
                ( |{ lv_tabix WIDTH = 2 ALIGN = RIGHT PAD = '0' }| ) ) .
ASSERT lt_tree = VALUE string_table( ( `01` ) ( `02` ) ( `03` ) ).<br>

you could even use

( |{ lv_tabix WIDTH = 2 ALPHA = IN }| )

Hello,

And even if I delete ALPHA=IN, the result is "1" not "000000000000000000000001".
