[Former Member]

Hello all,

              I am working on a simple report but facing an problem in it.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1.

       SELECT-OPTIONS :  M_NO for MSEG-MATNR,

                     M_YEAR FOR MSEG-MJAHR.

       SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.

    DATA : LEN TYPE I.

    LEN = STRLEN( M_NO ).

  WRITE: LEN.

  when I select record for eg. if i select value 18 in m_no then LEN should display value 2.bute its showing 21.I have debuge the program M_NO taking the value 'AEQ000000000000000018'.can anyone please help me with this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi sam ,

As you have declared M_NO as matnr , hence its length will be 18 by default.

and you have to get value you need to use M_NO-LOW for it .

Try this code

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1.

        SELECT-OPTIONS :  M_NO for MSEG-MATNR,

                      M_YEAR FOR MSEG-MJAHR.

        SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.

     DATA : LEN TYPE I.

     shift M_NO-low LEFT DELETING LEADING '0' .

     LEN = STRLEN( M_NO-low ).

     WRITE: LEN.

The field MATNR carry a CONVERSION-EXIT,

External format (what you see/input) differs from internal value (field value in program, database)

So check domain MATNR to get correct conversion-exit (it is not always ALPHA, and there is at least one available customer exit available...) and use the associated FM to get external value (e.g. CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT, CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA) or a simple WRITE INTO statement to get back external value.

Also records of a RANGE/SELECT OPTIONS have a generic structure :

SIGN (Inclide/Exclude) OPTION (EQ, BT, etc.) LOW and HIGH, here you could check LOW value for EQ and LOW and HIGH for BT.

Why do you require this information, curiosity ?

Hi,

You can use

CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

  EXPORTING

    input         = M_NO-low

IMPORTING

    OUTPUT        = M_NO-low.

and then

LEN = STRLEN( M_NO-low ).
