WBS Element - Conversion of CONVERSION_EXIT_ABPSP_OUTPUT function

[Former Member]

Hello dear all,

I am trying to format the POSID field using only SQL, to show it then in a specific table that i'm creating.

I searched and found that this function CONVERSION_EXIT_ABPSP_OUTPUT is the responsible to format the field as needed.

Is there any information that I can use to create the same result given by that function, using only SQL?

Thank you for you time.

If the FM works as advertised, why are you looking for a different solution?

On this case because the table data was transfered to another system ( different from SAP ) to be worked, and i can't use directly the function.

It's pretty hard to see how you would manage this with only SQL.

What do you mean format POSID?  Do you have PSPNR?  If so you can do a select on PRPS with PSPNR to get POSID.

Exactly, i have it there like you say. But on my case I can give an example:

The POSID in PRPS is "I0133334455". I have to format it so it can be as "I.01.3333.455"

If you have PSPNR just do the select as you will get it formatted correctly.

Edit:  Sorry, I didn't understand your response at first.  If it isn't formatted correctly in the table then I'm not sure how you will get it formatted.

So don't transfer PRPS-PSPNR to other system but PRPS-POSID (as a BW extractor for sample) ?

I think you need to find a way to provide the formatted value of POSID as the result of the conversion exit function.  If no other option, consider adding a field to PRPS (thru CI_PRPS customer include) or create a Z table with a key of PSPNR and another column with formatted POSID value.

It would be a lot of work to duplicate the logic of that conversion exit in SQL, as you would have to read the configuration for project masks and duplicate a lot of logic.  Let SAP do it for you!
