Hi!
nice question popping up again and again:
When entering any text value on a screen (dynpro) field, it is automatically converted to ABAP internal format.
This is done according to the technical characteristics defined in the underlying domain.
If a conversion routine is specified for the domain, it will be processed. I.e. conversion exit 'ALPHA' will used the function module 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'.
Many (or most) domains are not connected to conversion routines. Date and numeric values are converted according to the user and/or language settings for external representation of dates and numeric values.
But: There seems to be no way to call those conversion routines from ABAP programs.
Why not?
regards,
C.
