Adding zeros to a character string

Hi,

The packed field is transported right-justified to the character field, if required with a

decimal point. The first position is reserved for the sign. Leading zeros appear as

blanks. If the target field is too short, the sign is omitted for positive numbers. If this is still not sufficient, the field is truncated on the left. ABAP indicates the truncation with an asterisk (*). If you want the leading zeros to appear in the character field, use UNPACK instead of MOVE.

UNPACK

Converts variables from type P to type C.

Syntax

UNPACK <f> TO <g>.

Unpacks the packed field <f> and places it in the string <g> with leading zeros. The opposite of PACK.

Hi,

Do it like this,

data: A(5) type c.

data: b(5) type n.

a = 'AB'

unpack A to B.

Reward if useful!

i think you cant add zero for non numeric value by std fn modules.

do like this.

data : a(5) value 'ab',

len type i.

compute len = strlen( text ).

len = 5 - len."since you have declared a(5)

do len times.

concatenate '0' a into a.

enddo.

use <b>OVERLAY A WITH '00000'.</b>

Hello,

Check this code. It's working for me.

DATA: char TYPE char5.
DATA: strglen TYPE i.
DATA: len TYPE i.


char = 'AB'.

len = STRLEN( char ).

strglen = 5 - len.

DO strglen TIMES.

  CONCATENATE '0' char INTO char.

ENDDO.

WRITE:/ char.

shift A right deleting trailing space.

overlay A with '00000'.

Reward if useful.

modified..

DATA: a(5) TYPE c.

<b>data: len1 type i,

len2 type i.

a = 'AB'.

len1 = strlen( a ).

len2 = 5 - len1.

move a0(len1) to alen2(len1).

clear a+0(len1).

overlay a with '00000'.
