How to avoid '000...' appearing before Material

[former_member374954]

Hi Guys,

Someone just helped to concatenate two characteristics in to one column.

However, Now I have another issue. In The result column I am seeing preceding 000 with material no.

I tried all conversion rules and reducing the output length of the custom Characteristic which is getting populated after concatenation but does not help.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Shalini

Hi Prashant,

u have 2 ways ,

use standard functionality   :(by raman)

else use FM (is IO is used other places also). -- (by sheldon)

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

  EXPORTING

    input         =  <source_field>-material

IMPORTING

   OUTPUT        = <source_field>-material

          .

Hi Prashant,

Have you tried to unflag ALPHA conversion exit at info object maintenance screen. General tab?

Lets try that at dev system and check it.

Thanks

I did....that did not resolve it. Let me try another option given by Sheldon.

Hi Shalini,

Following function module can help you:

Function Module       CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT

If you input 00001, the output result will be 1.

Best Regards,

Sheldon.
