0Material---Leading Zeros

Hi,
I have a problem regarding 0Material. We want lo populate leading zeros for 0Material in the ODS i.e for Mat No. 9999999999 we wanna see 000000009999999999. Inorder to that I have written update routine where I used FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT. But I couldnt see leading zeros in ODS. What Might be the problem.
The con rout. we are using is MATN1 and in OMSL leading zeros is unchecked --lenght is 18.
Thanks,

OMSL leading zeros is unchecked --lenght is 18.
update routine--
Data : i_tab like DATA_PACKAGE.
DATA: sub_ord type string.
Data: v_material like i_TAB-MATERIAL.
loop at DATA_PACKAGE into i_tab.
    sub_ord = i_TAB-COORDER+0(2).
    if sub_ord = 'PD'.
      i_TAB-MATERIAL = i_TAB-COORDER+2(7).
      v_material = i_TAB-MATERIAL.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
        EXPORTING
          INPUT = v_material
        IMPORTING
          OUTPUT = v_material.
      i_TAB-MATERIAL = v_material .
      modify DATA_PACKAGE from I_tab.
    else.
    endif.
endloop.

0material leading zeros in analyser

Hi,
I want to hide 0material leading zeros in my reports. I'm using the Bex analyser and I didn't find any option in the query designer.
It's maybe just a checkbox or something but i'm afraid it's not possible...
Thank you for your answers.
Nicolas

Hello Akhan,
it's weird, when i execute the MF CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT in test mode, with this input value:
000000000000000008
The output is the same.
I think it's maybe due to my customizing in OMSL. I chose leading zeros... I thank it's only in BW and could be change for the reporting...

Suppressing Leading Zeroes in the Query output

Hi,
I have selected a data field(0MATERIAL) as a free characteristics, It displays text and key and the key has leading zeroes.
In the infoobject 0MATERIAL, ALPHA conversion routine is not selected, I can't change and insert the ALPHA right now because it would end up with reloading a large volume of data in different targets. To avoid this or to reduce the impact, in the reverse way,
Could it be possible to suppress this leading zeroes at the query level? I was hoping that there would be a change that I could make at the query level, since it is 0Material and am looking at the point of minimal impact.
Thank You.

Hi Senthil,
create InfoObject ZMATERIAL like a copy of 0MATERIAL, delete all the attributes and insert ALPHA conversion.
Insert this ZMATERIAL like display attribute of 0MATERIAL. In InfoSource for 0MATERIAL map also ZMATERIAL with the same field that is feeding 0MATERIAL (MATNL). In your query insert 0MATERIAL and ZMATERIAL, and then hide 0MATERIAL (you need to insert also 0MATERIAL because ZMATERIAL is only in display), you will see only the values of ZMATERIAL, that is the material without the zeros in front.
You can also decide to transform ZMATERIAL like navigational attribute, but in this case you have to change all the structure where do you want ZMATERIAL, because you need to flag it like navigational in that specific structure.
Ciao.

Remove leading zeros in query

Hi Gurus,
I have a alpha routine in update rule which will add leading zeros in omaterial,but now I want to display 0material in the report without leading zeros. How to do this ?
Thanks
Liza

Easiest thing is remove the conversion routine in 0material, if you dont want leading zeros.
Or
In update rules, use truncate statement to remove leading zeros.

Remove leading zeros using MDX function

Hello,
BO XI R3.1 SP2 FP2.5, SAP BW 7.0
This seems simple, but I cannot find a solution.
How do I remove leading zeros from a character field in a OLAP universe. Is there any MDX function?
I tried
<EXPRESSION>
Value([0MATERIAL].[LEVEL01].[[20MATERIAL]].[Value])
</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION>
StrToValue([0MATERIAL].[LEVEL01].[[20MATERIAL]].[Value])
</EXPRESSION>
I can remove the leading zeros in Webi, but we require it for ad-hoc reporting? Is there a way to do this in the universe?
Thanks,
Nikhil

Hi,
SAP BW MDX only allows calcuated expressions that return numeric values: this is one if the main SAP MDX limitations.
By the way there is the abilitiy to return string only for those expressions:
[Dimension].currentmember.name
[Dimension].currentmember.uniquename
So you can do this:
<EXPRESSION>
(right([0MATERIAL].currentmember.name, 4))
</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION>
(right([0MATERIAL].currentmember.uniquename, 4))
</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION>
(left([0MATERIAL].currentmember.name, 3))
</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION>
(left([0MATERIAL].currentmember.uniquename, 3))
</EXPRESSION>
Otherwise you can use WebI formulas as described in the thread.

APD - How to remove leading zero's in a String?

Hello All,
I have been stumped by this challenge for a few hours now, so would appreciate your suggestions.
I am using APD to produce a CSV file where the source is a query. The output requires 0MATERIAL and this is delivered by the source query. The issue is that the CSV file must not retain any leading zero's that may exist in the 0MATERIAL value.
e.g.
example # original material code desired output
========= ====================== ==============
a 000000000000015931 15931
b 000000000001001037 1001037
c 000000000008945420 8945420
d 000000000080889200 80889200
e 0000000000L0293500 L0293500
Initialy, I believed I could simply output the value of 0MATERIAL to an integer field. This would remove all leading zero's but not all 0MATERIAL codes are purely numeric in value (see example (e));
Someone had a similar requirement w/ SQL Server and solved it by replacing all zero's with a space, trimming leading spaces, then replacing remaining spaces back to zero's! [url]http://www.sql-server-helper.com/functions/trim-leading-zeros.aspx[url]
So the logic is something like this:
1. Replace each 0 with a space: REPLACE('0','',[0MATERIAL])
2. Use the L_TRIM string function to trim leading spaces: L_TRIM(<result from Step #1>)
3. Replace all spaces back to 0: REPLACE('','0',<result from Step #2>)
Formula Builder looks like this:
L_TRIM(REPLACE_ALL('0','',0MATERIAL))
I attempted this using the
REPLACE()
function (available in the APD Formula builder) to replace all zero's with an empty string. This too created a problem because as in examples (a) through to (e), the function replaces all zero's in the string not just the leading ones! e.g.
REPLACE('0', '',000000000001001037)
gives 1137 !
The problem here is that when you specify a space in the
REPLACE()
function by saying
it thinks you meant no spaces at all! Therefore I am no longer able to execute step 3!
I'm stumped now and would appreciate the communities help on this.
Thanks,

Thanks Akshay,
I took 0MATERIAL as the source field
I specified ZMATLWOLDZERO as the target field (type same as 0MATERIAL).
In the code section i wrote this:
DATA: ls_source TYPE y_source_fields,
 ls_target TYPE y_target_fields.
loop at it_source into ls_source.
 move-corresponding ls_source to ls_target.
 call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
 EXPORTING
 output = ls_target-ZMATLWOLDZERO
 IMPORTING
 input = ls_source-material.
 append ls_target to et_target.
endloop.
compiles fine but on test execution, the code termnates saying that "Incorrect parameter with CALL FUNCTION"
Forgive me this is a first attempt I have tried but I fear my logic is incorrect in the code somewhere...

Want to hide/eliminate the leading Zeros in the Variable popup for0MATERIAL

I have a requirement where 0MATERIAL is having leading zeros and it has the MATN1 conversion routine in the production system.I want to only remove the leading zeros in the Variable popup in report for 0 MATERIAL witohut changing the definition of the object as it has too much production data to change.
Best Regards
Tagore

Hi,
You will have to write some code in F4 help BADI, please refer the sap note 1416952. And you can take help of following function module to remove leading zeros,
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT.
If above thing doesn't help then you will have to create virtual key figure.

Adding leading zeros in abap objects.

Can anyone explain me
1. How to add leading zeros to a field in abap objects.
For eg:
data: dmb(6) type c value '123456',
actually the output value of c should have leading zeros added to it for length 16.
i.e '0000000000123456' . If the length of dmb is less than 16 then leading zeros should be added to that value to make it 16 as length.
Please tell me how to do it in ABAP Objects.

Hi Camila
Try to use the statement
DATA: ALPHABET(15) VALUE ' ABCDEFGHIJ',
 M1(4) VALUE 'ABCD',
 M2(6) VALUE 'BJJCA '.
SHIFT ALPHABET LEFT DELETING LEADING M1.
The field
ALPHABET
remains unchanged.
SHIFT ALPHABET LEFT DELETING LEADING SPACE.
The field ALPHABET now has the following contents:
'ABCDEFGHIJ '.
SHIFT ALPHABET RIGHT DELETING TRAILING M2.
ALPHABET now has the following contents:
' ABCDEFGHI'.
IN CHARACTER MODE
Effect
This is the default setting (see above), and the addition is therefore optional.
Note
Performance:
For performance reasons, you should avoid using SHIFT in WHILE loops.
The runtime required to shift a field with length 10 by one character to the right or left requires about 5 msn (standardized microseconds). A cyclical shift requires around 7 msn. The runtime for the ...
LEFT DELETING LEADING
... variant is around 3.5 msn, for ...
RIGHT DELETING TRAILING
... around 4.5 msn.

How do I use the print function to output a numeric variable with a fixed amount of leading zeroes

I need to create an output from a T-SQL query that picks a numeric variable and uses the print function to output with leading zeroes if it is less than three characters long when converted to string. For example if the variable is 12 the output should
be 012 and if the variable is 3 the output should be 003.
Presently the syntax I am using is PRINT STR(@CLUSTER,3) . But if @CLUSTER which is numeric is less than three characters I get spaces in front.
Please help!

>> I need to create an output from a T-SQL query .. <<
NO! NO! In RDBMS, we have a presentation layer that handles displays. We do not ever do it in the database. This is fundamental. But more than that, the purpose of PRINT is for debugging in T-SQL and never for output.
You are still writing 1960's COBOL or BASIC, but you want to to it in SQL. You probably picked the wrong data type (a numeric that should be a string) and are trying to repair your design error.

IR - Column with leading Zeros issue

Hello,
I've got an IR report which includes as "default report settings" 1 column with leading 0s. In order to export to Excel that column as text rather than as a numeric I followed a workaround proposed before in this forum (excel copy drops leading zeros
In essence this workaround is to create an identifical column but in "excel text format" and display the columns depending on the request value: INSTR(NVL(:REQUEST,'YABBADABBADO'),'CSV') <> 0 for example.
This works just fine for the default report.
The problem arise when a user creates his own customise report that includes the mentioned column and saves it as a named report. Here, when the results are exported to excel the "excel" column does not appear.
In fact, just hiding one of the displayed columns produces the same undesired result.
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Many thanks
Edited by: Javier Gil on Jul 20, 2010 7:52 AM

I have found a better method. In your IR query:
SELECT LPAD(v.vendor, 7, ' ') vendor,
/*Just LPAD to a length of the column defined in the database table or to 7, whichever is greater. */
FROM v, r
WHERE v.VENDOR = r.VENDOR
AND date_rcv <= to_date(:P150_CUTOFF,'yyyy/mm/dd')
AND inv_nbr = ' '
AND to_stores <> 'T'
AND (V.VENDOR = RPAD(:P150_VENDOR,10,' ') OR :P150_VENDOR = 'ALL')
When you download to Excel by Download/XLS (Request=XLS), it preserves the leading zeros.
In the case of dates, you should LPAD 10 minimum in this format.
LPAD(to_char(date_rcv,'MM/DD/YY'), 10, ' ') date_rcv,
I haven’t tried it yet but I think in the case of ‘MM/DD/YYYY’, you should LPAD 12 minimum in this format.
LPAD(to_char(date_rcv,'MM/DD/YYYY'), 12, ' ') date_rcv,
Drawbacks of this method:
Since the string has leading white spaces, you cannot use the filter for the ‘=’ comparison operator. Even filtering using leading white spaces will not return anything. You must use the LIKE and NOT LIKE operator instead.
Advantages of this method over the original one I posted yesterday:
1) You do not have to create another column for download, just one column will suffice.
2) Even though the query has leading white spaces, they will not display in the IR region.

IR truncating leading zeros in my popup window report

Hello,
I am using IR_columnname, for one of the columns in my report which is a popup window report.
My problem is that IR_column search filter in my popup window is truncating the leading zeros.
I am getting the value but it is truncating the leading zeros.
like say if the deptno is something like 020 or 0020 in the parent window.
the IR_columnname value is taking '20' (its truncating leading zeros) with this filter its not dispalying the result in my popup window.
can anyone help me out with this.
thanks.

How are you passing values to the IR filter? There could be a possibility that you source logic is truncating the leading zeros.
Thanks,
Manish

How do I add leading zero(s) to exported files' names?

I'm using Lightroom 1.4 on an iMac, with OS X 10.4. When I export a batch of photos, they get numbered automatically. For example, if they're pictures of my dog, I'll specify "Dog" as the name to be used and 1 as the starting number. Lightroom will then export them as "Dog-1.tif" and "Dog-2.tif" and so on.
The problem is that when I then load these files into another application, it thinks that "Dog -1.tif" should be followed by "Dog-11.tif," then "Dog-12.tif," and so on to "Dog-19.tif" and then "Dog-2.tif," "Dog-20.tif," "Dog-21.tif," etc.
One solution to this would be to have them numbered as 01, 02, 03. . . 09, 10, 11, etc. Rather than add those leading zeros to the file names manually, I'd like to have Lightroom put them in when it exports the files, but I can't figure out how to do that. I've tried entering 01 as the starting number in the "Export" dialogue box, but that doesn't do the trick.
Can anybody tell me how to get Lightroom to add a leading zero (or zeros, when I export more than 99 files at a time) to the file names?

>What if I just wanted to name the images 0001, 0002, 0003, etc? Can't seem to figure that out.
In the Filename Template Editor, simply insert the [Sequence # (0001)] token as the only entry in the template field.

Hi,
Please check out this thread.
Remove leading zeros
Also check if there is any conversion routine used for that particular infoobject.
If ALPHA conversion is selected for your infoobject then it will automatically take away the leading zeros at query level.

How can I remove the leading zeros on jpg files?

I'm looking for a way to remove the leading zeros on over 1000 jpg files, without changing the remaining digits in the file name. Is there some automated "batch" script?
i.e going from 003405607.jpg to 3405607.jpg

You could write an AppleScript. but it will be easier to get and use a third-party file renaming utility. I use the freeware NameChanger which works quite well.
