Hi,

What is the value of contract no in R/3 give me an example. (like this first 10 charaters 0 and reamaining is the value combination of 0-9.) if that is case you can split the first 10 charter and store remaining 10 charaters. otherwise create new infoobject of charater 20 and use it.

Give me more inputs.

if it is useful assign points.

Hi,

Since length of your object in R/3 is more then that of object in BW that's why Alpha conversion will not work.

Basically ALpha conversion is routine which pads the valuue with 0 if the BW objetc is more then that of R/3.

So in case if your R/3 object is of lentgh 7 and BW of length 10 then it will pad up 3 0's infront of that value.

Now you have something which has 20 in source digits and you are trying to load it into an object which has only 10 digits.So it will pick only 10 digits from left and rest 10 will dicsarded even if you use ALPHA.

So change your BW object to length 20 and then use Alpha conversion.Or write a routine to load only 10 digits from R/3 to BW filed out of 20.

Hope it clears

Thanks
