Hi Kapil,

Data: Mat_no(40)  type c.

Mat_no = matnr.  " material Number

Call Function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'.
importing
  Field = MAT_NO
Exporting
  Field = MAT_NO.

Hi Kapil ,

Use the <b>UNPACK</b> command.

Here is a sample code which does the same

data : v_matnr(40) type c,
       v_mat type matnr.

v_mat = '123456789'.

       unpack v_mat to v_matnr.

write v_matnr.

hi,

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
            EXPORTING
              input  = wf_version
            IMPORTING
              output = wf_version.

Example:

input = 123

output = 0000000000000...000000000000123

try the following code:

shift matnr right deleting traling space.

overlay matnr with '0000000000000000000000000000000000000000'.

<b>P.S.</b>: The number of zero's in the overlay statement is 40.
