Replacing sapces with 0 in character variables.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a method to replace zeros instead of characters at left side.

I have a component of internal table which accepts character data --> size 10, however before it gets uploaded I want it to look like '0000000012' instead of 12.

I used replace and replace all occurances, I also tried using first SHIFT and later REPLACE but no use.

Can anyone help ?

data : var(10) type n.

var = <your char var>.

write : / var.

or use conversion_exit_alpha_input fn module.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

Hi,

You can use the function module 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT' for the same.

data:

temp(10).

temp = ' 12'.

overlay temp with '0000000000'.

write temp.

Thanks to all for the response.

I had tried all of these things.However I am still going to try and give points to all the answers with function module <b>CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT</b>

Now the problem lied in the conversion routines attached to the data elements of the fields which were getting used in the internal table.

What I did was I changed the domain to a 'z' domain and obviously avoided the conversion routine.

Thank you all.
