Add leading zero to matnr in a conversion program

Hi All,
When uploading matnr from a text legacy file , should i add leading zeroes to the sku value. For ex the data from the lagacy is 1000123456 (10 digits length). The values are always numbers. The matnr in SAP is 18 chars. Should my program transform it into 000000001000123456 before saving it into mara-matnr?
Regards, Oli

Are you sure that in configuration, the Indicator for lexicographical material numbers is unchecked? If it checked, then SAP will not then the all numeric material numbers will not get leading zeros by default. =====>
Indicator for lexicographical material numbers
Defines the way numeric material numbers are stored in the database.
Use
Caution
It is only possible to set or reset (cancel) this indicator if no numeric material numbers have been used yet in the system since they would no longer be interpretable after setting or resetting this indicator.
If this indicator is not set, numeric material numbers are padded with leading zeros and stored right-justified

How to remove Leading zeros from MATNR "at Database Level"

Hi,
When we create a material in MM01 , we can either create material as Internal Material No. or External Material No. (By Explicitly entering a material No.)
Our requirement is that: When we create an Internal Material , there should NOT be any Leading Zeros in MATNR.
and for External Material No. , Leading Zeros Should be there. (In Database)
1) Now , we can create the No. Range for material in such a way that it will allow only AlphaNumeric entries for Internal Material , and Only Numeric Entries for External Material No.
This should slove the Purpose.
But According to the Client's requirement , Material No can be Numeric OR Alphanumeric for Internal As well as External Material No.
2) We can Add or Remove leading zeros from MATNR at application level. i.e. we can find some BADI / Enhancement where we will Use the Conversion FM (CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT or CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT) and remove Leading Zeros from MATNR. But these changes will NOT reflect at Database Level , Because in MATNR Domain , there is a conversion Routine , That will Add Leading Zeros in MATNR While saving in the Database.
3) While Displaying the Material In SE11 , we can also set the "Display Format" as With leading Zeros OR Without Leading Zeros.
But we dont want to Just "Display" material with OR Without Leading Zeros. we want to actually create materials in that way.
What can we do , so that at Database Level our changes are Reflected.
Thanks and Regards,
Anand Gore

That will Add Leading Zeros in MATNR While saving in the Database.
That is because you have it configured that way. You can configure the storage as you desire. The default is the behavior you are describing. You, or your functional analyst, need to review the documentation on the MM config settings for material master number storage.
Never use CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT for material conversion. Also keep in mind that the MATN1 functions have their own BADI for extended formatting...

Urgent........How to add leading zeros to negative values.....

Hi,
I want to add leading zeros to negative values.
Present Value : -567
Expected Value : -0000000567
I know to adding leading zeros with the help of CONVERSION_EXIT FM.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Use below FM.
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT
Try out below FM with the above one.
CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT
ISJP_GET_SIGN
or you can use
WRITE variable USING EDIT MASK '-___________'.
or
CONCATENATE syntax

File rename doesn't add leading zeros to renaming files sequence? And a pat on the back to the LR de

First of all, LR truly rocks. Any Adobe folk reading this, please take this note as a massive pat on the back for your team. There's a lot of childish and naive negativity from people posting in this forum. And I suspect from folk who are not really your key market for this app. I feed my kids by running a photography business and have been shooting digital since the early 90s...ya know...
LR will be looked at as a massive sea change in the development of digital photography. The first time the entire workflow process is truly viable from end to end. What will make LR the ultimate winner in it's field is simply the integration with Photoshop. Aperture, Capture One etc cannot ever beat LR regarding this and so, just like the way that Excel and Word and Powerpoint all work together and everyone uses them, LR will inevitably become the de facto standard way of managing RAW images for pro photographers.
Even with the few bugs (specifically file movingon Mac OS10.4.9) LR has shaved HOURS off our workflow. We shoot around 250 gigs of images a month in our weddings and event business. Now all of our editors use LR. No more Capture One etc for us.
Here's the question - There seems to be no way to add leading zeros to a file rename command. So if you rename a batch of images they appear as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 etc so now when I look at them in Bridge or other apps, they are now sorted 1,10,11, etc
Now let me tell ya this is a pain.
Any comments or comfort that is is a known issue would be appreciated. All we want is a way to have the rename add the leading zeros like most other apps do...
Best to all

PS By the way, I am a HARD *** about shoddy unstable software sold to pro photographers as the "prefect solution" that doesnt work as advertised...I am that guy that the tech support guys at certain companies dread. Yep, I simply expect an app to do what it says, just like the car I buy. I once resorted to sending the CEO of a certain software company an invoice for my time restarting, reinstalling the OS and bug finding another similar app. You can image, I got a personal call...heh...

William-
 
 I just changed a folder of 85 images' names, and typed in 001 as my starting number. While no zeroes were prepended, the pix show up in order both in the Finder and in Bridge CS3.
 
 Say a bit more about file moving on your Macs.....

Add leading zero's function

Hey,
can anyone tell me what is the java function for add leading zero's in xi mapping.
TX

Hi Zevik,
As other threads mentioned used FormatNum and double click and put Zeros. Like if the lenght is 10 then put 10 zeros. Here one thing you should analyse is, if your input value has a string value it will fail in FormatNum becuase it expects only the numeric value.
So if you dont know whether your input has numeric or alphanumeric then go to UDF. So create a udf with name AddZeros and as Value with one argument as input.
Imports: java.*;
Then add this code:
int len=input.length();
for(int i=0; i<10-len;i++)
input="0"+input;
return input;
Here I am assuming the total length is 10. If yours is 20 then put 20 instead of 10 in the second line of the code.

How to add leading zeros to a characteristic in CT04

The business is requesting that we change a class characteristic so that it adds leading zeros. Currently the characteristic is set as numeric with length of 6, no decimals. Is there any way via template or otherwise to force this characteristic to store leading zeros, as recorded against the characteristic?

Hi David,
1. If you are mentioning about the "Characteristics"This is Standard Field name.
2. You will not be able to influence the same,
3. Also i doubt if you are talking about the Characteristic Value - Since only in the Char Value we will be able to define the length, etc.
4. In case of Charvalues if you want leading zeros then create it as character , where you can store with leading zero

Data : brgew like mara-brgew.
brgew = '12.063'.
data:val(18) type c,
     in(13) type n ,
     dec(6) type c.
data : a type i ,
        b type i.
        a = TRUNC( brgew ).
        write:/ a .
in = a.
write:/ in.
        dec = frac( brgew ).
        write:/ dec.
        concatenate in dec+2(4) into val separated by '.'.
        write:/ val.
see if this works for u .

How to add leading zeros ?

Hi Friends,
I have a shipment no say 10 char long . Now the thing is in my program I need to add leading zeros if the shipment no is not 10 char long .
For eg : if the tknum is 99919 . I need to make use of a command to make it 10 char long lke 0000099919.
Also I need to be able to add zeros if tkum is 5 or 7 or 8 char long .
How do i add these leading zeros to fill up the remaining positions ?
Thanks,

hi ,
use the following code.
data : lv_vbeln(10) type c.
 lv_sonumber like vbak-vbeln.
This function module will convert the data into the required format based on the data type of the variable that you are passing in import paramter of the funcation module.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
 EXPORTING
 INPUT = lv_vbeln
 IMPORTING
 OUTPUT = lv_sonumber
Thanks

How to add leading zeros to kunnr field

Hi All,
I need to add leading zeros to KUNNR field runtime.
i.e for some customer it is displaying '2001084606'
some customer's it si displaying '10434'.
I want add leading zeros when customer length is
not equal to ten '10'.
plz kind let me know this is urgent.
Regards
Bhaskar

Hi there,,
Kunnr is using a dataelement with Char 10.
You can do in this fashion to resolve your issue.
len = strlen (itab-kunnr).
len is having the lenght of the customer number.
if len < 10..
 while len < 10.
 concatenate '0' itab-kunnr into temp_text.
 add 1 to len.
 endwhile.
endif.
now finally you can assign temp_text to your itab-kunnr.
hope this way you can resolve your issue.
if found helpful,, don't forget to reward points.
Thanks-
Rahul.

How to add leading zero using the toString() function?

Hi,
I've looked in the user manual and I can't find any reference to toString() for syntax information. Isn't there a parameter for me to use to specify the string lenght? And whether to add leading zeros or not?
Here's the code I need to add leading zeros:
playbutt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);
function playSound(e:Event)
SoundMixer.stopAll();
var num:Number = Math.ceil(Math.random()*43);
bigNum.text = num.toString();
var path:String = "Track No" + bigNum.text + ".mp3";
trace(path);
var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest(path));
s.play();
The files I'm trying to open starts at "Track No01".
Any ideas?
Ron

Thank you for the code replacement.
By the way, instead of having the user click a button to start a random music file (MP3), I'd like to get the music going as soon as one loads a webpage and once the first tune is finished playing jump to another randomly selected music file (MP3).
I've search via Google for ideas but couldn't find anything that came close to what I need done.
Any ideas?

BADI to add leading zero to material in DP

Hello,
I wanted to check if there is a BADI that can be used while generating CVC (/sapapo/mc62) that will add leading zeros to the product number (9amatnr) while uploading CVCs from FLAT FILE.
Thanks,
Sanju

Hello,
I am basically trying to create CVC from a TAB delimited file using tcode /sapapo/mc62. The file will be loaded on Application server and /sapapo/mc62 will pick up the tab delimited file in background. I want a FM or BADI that can pad leading zero in front of the material Characteristics when CVCs are generated.
Please advise.
I am not planning to load the file into infocube and generate CVC from infocube.
Thanks

Add leading zero

hi im trying to add leading zeros in vendor number
im using the fm 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT', its not working
anybody knows how else i can do that

Well, I made this example, adapt it to suit your needs.
DATA: vendor(10) TYPE c VALUE '452'.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SHIFT vendor CIRCULAR RIGHT.
WHILE vendor(1) = space.
SHIFT vendor CIRCULAR RIGHT.
ENDWHILE.
SHIFT vendor CIRCULAR LEFT.
OVERLAY vendor WITH '0000000000'.
WRITE vendor.

FM to Add Leading Zeros

Hi,
I used a FM before that adds leading zeros but I cant remember it.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks in advance.
Kenny

Or you could simple move to a numeric and then back to the character field. The N field should be the same length as the C field.
data: c(10) type c value '123'.
data: n(10) type n.
n = c.
c = n.

FM WHICH adds leading zeroes to a non numeric input

hi i need the fm name which will add leading zeroes to anu non numeric input
say
input is ABC
SO MY OUTPUT SHOULD BE
000000000000ABC
URGENT
NEED A FUNCTIOJN MODULE NAME

i think no fn module is there for non numeric values to add zero do like this..
data : text(20) value 'ABC',
len type i.
compute len = strlen( text ).
len = 20 - len.
do len times.
concatenate '0' text into text.
enddo.
write : / text.
