How to remove preceding zeroes

[former_member1349711]

I have made a report on an online exam result with NAME, ROLLNO, YEAR STUDYING and EXAM RESULT but my roll no and year studying column is giving output as '000001101' instead of only '1101'. Please help...

Hi Syed,

You can use CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT function module to remove preceding zero.

You can pass roll no to function module.

Please find sample code.

PARAMETERS:sale type ebelp.
START-OF-SELECTION.
Write:/ sale.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
  EXPORTING
    input         = sale
 IMPORTING
   OUTPUT        = sale
          .
WRITE:/ sale.

Or by defining a DDIC domain for ROLLNO, with ALPHA conversion routine, then WRITE automatically applies the conversion routine.

Or instead of all WRITE and CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT', more simple:

WRITE / : sale, |{ sale ALPHA = OUT }|.

Did you try searching first??!! This has literally been asked hundreds of times over the life of this site.

Hi uzair_123,

To Remove the preceding zeroes,

SHIFT Concept can be used,

Here is the piece of code that helps in your ABAP Program :

DATA: var_name(10) TYPE C VALUE '01'. " var_name - Variable " C - Data Type(char)
      WRITE: var_name.

SHIFT var_name LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
      WRITE: var_name.

Thanks,
