Appending non leading zeroes

Hi,
I have a material number which is of 5 characters . I want to append non-leading zeroes .
This is because i need to concatenate the MATNR and VKORG.
As MATNR is 18 characters long, after concatenation the final output shud look like:
"ABCDE_____________XWYZ"
WHERE ABCD = MATNR
XWYZ = VKORG
I have drawn a line to depict the spaces.
i tried using conversion_exit_alpha_input but its not working.
Please suggest
regards
Nishant

Hi Nishant,
Try this .
lv_matnr.
lv_matnr_nonchar.
lv_matnr_length.
lv_VKORG.
lv_final_string.
1) lv_matnr_length = strlen ( lv_matnr ).
   lv_matnr_length = 18 - lv_matnr_length.
This is because u want initiall values
2) conversion_exit_alpha_input
       input   = lv_matnr.
       output = lv_matnr_nonchar.
3) REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '0' IN lv_matnr_nonchar WITH 'new_char_u_want.
4)then concatenate
concatenate lv_matnr lv_matnr_nonchar+0(lv_matnr_length) lv_VKORG
into lv_final_string.
u can use this logic in a perform
using matnr
      VKORG
changing final string.
code is dynamic for variable length of matnr
This will really solve ur problem.

How to append leading zeros

Dear Friends,
In a transparent table xyz I have one field 'Bill No.' which is of character type & length 10. when I insert data in this table the value for this field gets stored as '0000000001'.
I am facing a problem when the user is giving value of Bill No. as '1'. It doesn't pick the data because the corresponding value in my table is '0000000001'.
Once I have used the function CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT' to remove the leading zeros but here I have to append the leading zeros.
How to overcome this pls advise.
Regards,
Alok.

Hi,
Use the following FM:
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT converts any number into a string fill with zeroes, with the number at the extreme right
Example:
input = 123
output = 0000000000000...000000000000123
Hope this helps.
Reward if helpful.

Append Leading Zero's

Hi ,
the follwing SQL generates Zero's prefixed to the rownum. While inserting the data into table all the zero's go away
why ?
How can i insert data with Zero's ?

when 1 then '0000'||rownum
when 2 then '000'||rownum
when 3 then '00'||rownum
when 4 then '0'||rownum

Where did the Zero's GO?????
the table column data type is Number......
Thanks

Is the ciolumn that you are inserting into ..declared as a number or is it a varchar2?
sql> create table t(
2 id number
3 );
Table created.
sql> insert into t values (0001);
1 row created.
sql> insert into t values(0002);
1 row created.
sql> commit;
Commit complete.
sql> select * from t;
 ID
 1
 2If you declare it as a varchar2...
sql> create table t(
2 id varchar2(10));
Table created.
sql> insert into t values ('0001');
1 row created.
sql> insert into t values ('0002');
1 row created.
sql> commit;
Commit complete.
sql> select * from t;
ID
0001
0002But why do you want to store the values appended with leading zero's in your table..???

Appending leading zeros to material number

Hi Shankar,
When ever u pass parameters to any function module the type of parameters must match with the ones defined in function module. Here u defined ur object key like this
data: wa_object(18) type c.(18 digits). But the in function module it referenced with BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECT (50 digits). So u have to define the variable with BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECT.
Check this solution. It will work for u.
data: wa_object(18) type c,
           wa_object1 TYPE BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECT.
wa_object = '100301010'. "Material No
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = wa_object
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = wa_object.
wa_object1 = wa_object.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
OBJECTKEY = wa_object1
OBJECTTABLE = 'MARA'
CLASSNUM = 'FINISHED_MATERIAL'
CLASSTYPE = '001'
KEYDATE = SY-DATUM
UNVALUATED_CHARS = ' '
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
TABLES
ALLOCVALUESNUM = IT_ALLOCVALUESNUM
ALLOCVALUESCHAR = IT_ALLOCVALUESCHAR
ALLOCVALUESCURR = IT_ALLOCVALUESCURR
RETURN = IT_RETURN

Non truncation of Leading Zero

Hi All,
I am downloading a .xls file using the function module "GUI_DOWNLOAD".
But it is truncating the leading zero's in some fileds.

Cuts off leading zeros in a report column when "Download to Excel" function

Hello
When a text column contains leading zeros for example "000250" the download to Excel stores the string as "250" in the spreadsheet. I am using a column which is a string.(varchar)
Can somebody suggest me , how to go ahead with it
Thanks

(To Vins) Actually, concatenating a space doesn't do it. When the file is downloaded into Excel, the leading space is ignored and it the leading zeroes are still trimmed.
To user647228: A non-space character needs to be concatenated. Regarding what character to append, I would give the following consideration: If the users are content with seeing an added character to the "number," you can append say an underscore "_" and Excel will download the number properly. It's fairly unobtrusive and can be "visually ignored."
If the end user insists on gettin rid of the extra character once the file is downloaded, I would append a character that is rarely, if not never, used in the report. (This ensures or mitigates replacing other instances of the character.) Then you can do a Replace All in Excel to replace the extra character with a single apostrophe. The single apostrophe will be interpreted by Excel to mean "text" and the appearance will change to exactly what is desired.
Note: Replacing the extraneous character with a space for example, will result in the leading zeroes being again lopped off by Excel...

BAPI_PO_CHANGE document number leading zero problem

Hi experts,
The following code clears the "Delivery Complete" flag on a list of Purchase Orders uploaded from a CSV file.
The PO number is 9 digits long, however, in EKPO table it is stored as 10 digits (prefixed with a zero). The BAPI does not recognise the document number unless it is prefixed with a zero in the CSV file (which adds extra work for the user to create custom format in Excel to add the leading zero).
What code is required for the BAPI to recognise the 9 digit number without the leading zero?   Perhaps the leading zero could be hard-coded into the program?
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Leading Zeros in Excel file

Hello,
I am downloading few fields from HR infotypes into Excel sheet, I'm using cl_ABAP_char_utilities=>Horizontal_tab to separate the fields. I'm not getting leading zeros. I have tried with 'DAT', 'CSV' and 'WK1' file formats instead of 'ASC', but the flat file format is changing. I have tried ' ' ' symbol. I am getting leading zeros along with that symbol. Now, I need to remove the symbol. Any suggetions...
Thanks and regards,
PNM Raju

dude,
it's just a regular concatenate statement using a non blank space like the old HTML &nbsp.
It doesn't show properly in the editor here on SDN. Just try it n see if it executes by putting a space there.
I think it would wind up looking something like CONCATENATE ' ' MEAN-EAN11 INTO Z_L_ITAB-EAN11.
If you're on a laptop or a keyboard without the 10key plus on the right, you'll probably have to hold the [[fn]] key down too.
So in ABAP type CONCATENATE '<-- right here put the [[fn]][[ALT]]0160 and you should see it place what looks like a space right there.
Try it

Need formula to take text from one cell, add that to a serial number with leading zeros

I'm trying to create a spreasdheet cell that simplifies creating videotape Numbers from a job name in cell and appends a serial number with leading zeros, and that would survive an export to EXCEL.
The result would look like
A Column
Job Name
B ColumnTape #
Formula needed for B
ClientName-TapeType-
ClientName-TapeType-001
=
ClientName-TapeType-
ClientName-TapeType-002

I've tried using a custom cell format that had the text in front of the (Integer) drag and drop, with three integers and leading zeros.
That worked, but requires recreating the custom cell format for each client and tape type.
So, I've used the formula =A2& in order to play around with different things, but haven't hit on something that adjusts for increased numbers and retains the leading zeros.
I don't mind doing a starter for the first row and then adding +1 in the formulas for the rows below.
I've done that using the custom cell formats for the first B cell and then using =Bx+1 in the following cells. It works, but I'm hoping to find something simpler or that can be copied and pasted in multiple rows on one paste.
Thanks in advance.
Suggestions much appreciated!
Ted

Ted,
This expression in B will give you the pattern I believe you are looking for:
=A&RIGHT("00"&ROW()-1, 3)

Grep query - optional character, leading zeros & shortening words

I have recently been taught (thanks to this forum) how to use Grep searches (wish I’d known about it years ago!). I still can’t get my head around some of the search strings - hoping someone can shed some light & explain what the components are doing so I can further utilise them?
I have dates for a travel brochure, given to me sometimes separated by commas without the date (2, 3, 4, 5) & I need to put each date into its own cell in a table with the month next to them (with no space & going across left to right) + with a leading zero for single digits (02Jan /t 03Jan /t 04Jan /t 05Jan).
How can I get it to add a leading zero for single digits & add the month to the last number that doesn’t have the comma (which I otherwise utilise in the search)? (The way I get it currently is 2Jan /t 3Jan /t 4Jan /t 5).
I can’t seem to work out the optional character command.
The other problem I have is that the months need to be shortened to just the first 3 digits & I’m not sure how to do that, either.
Any light shed would be appreciated!
Using current Indd on Mac.
Message was edited by: Alleyna Lenton I have just found (through searching IndesignSecrets) how to do the optional comma: (\d+),? -> $1Mar\t (although I'm not clear whether the '+' after '\d' represents more than 1 or any number of digits?) Just the other 2 probs I have - abbreviating words to first 3 characters & adding a zero to the front of single digits.

Very good -- GREP is a useful tool to master! If you can't work out the last few things, do let us know. Make sure to list a couple of Before-After examples.
The + after \d is indeed for "1 or more", that is, at least one and then as much as possible (I don't think there is a realistic upper limit). Contrast with * which is "zero or more" and ? for "none or exactly 1".
Cutting off month names after the first 3 characters was asked not too long ago, but I cannot recall what the offered solution was. Try something like this:
(?<=\bJan)uary
(replace with nothing). The (?<=xxx) is a positive lookbehind: it will search the text "uary" and only match it if preceded by "Jan". By writing out all months in one long string, you can change all of them:
(?<=\bJan)uary|(?<=\bFeb)ruary|(?<=\bMar)ch|(?<=\bApr)il
... etc., etc., where the vertical bar is an OR operator. (It's a bit long written in full, but remember you only have to write this GREP once and then you can save it.)

Web Services from ABAP function modules return values- leading zeros

I am using several web services from SAP CRM (5.0) that were created from Function modules ( I am assuming that that they are in ABAP).
I can call the web services fine and they work as expected, but I am seeing a lot of leading zeros in the return values of fields in tables from the Web service.
The ABAP ers are telling me that they cannot see the leading zeros.
So my question is where these are appended to the values in the whole process. When I execute the Function Module in SAP CRM from transaction SE37 I can see the leading zeros. So I think that this is something that has to be handled by the ABAP ers and not in the client consuming the web service.
Are the functions in SAP CRM that can remove leading zeros for fields in a table (that is an export parameter?)
Jawahar

Hello Jawahar
If you run your (RFC-enabled) function modules using the SAP-GUI (i.e. in dialog) then the GUI automatically replaces leading zero when the function module returns any data. However, calling the same function module remotely you will always see these leading zeros.
These so-called conversion exits are defined as attribute of domains in the ABAP dictionary. If the function module used for the WebService is a standard fm then you have little chances to get rid of the leading zero. Perhaps the WebService has some attribute to suppress conversion exits or activate them when retrieving the data.

Uwe

Leading zeros remove from FB05 for assignment field in process open items b

Dear expert
At present i am using the electronic bank statement completed OT83 & OT51configuration, when i am running FF-5 the EBS soft copy has been uploaded and created batch input session.
I executed batch input session and the transactions has been posting through FB05 for outgoing payment clearing with assignment field ( where check number is laying correctly and matching EBS soft copy cheque number and SAP outgoing clearing account line item assignment cheque number ) in case of outgoing clearing is happening correctly.
but where as i have a problem incoming clrg cheque number which is displaying in assignment field and updated when client using FF68(check deposit / collections).
the user is punching all collections from customers using t.code FF68 and cheque number is updated with 6 digit number in the variant. it is like a JV.
after posting batch input session the cheque is number displaying in assignment field. the cheque number is updated with 6 digit number. but in the variant cheque number width 6 digit only but after posting FF68 & SM35 the system automatically taking leading zeros for the remaining length. Cheque number standard length in SAP 13 in table .
total 13 digit length but user punched only 6 digit only, because the cheque number 6 digit numberonly. so the remaining 7 digits it is occupaying 0000000.
while executing FF_5 and SM35 (thr FB05) the assignment field cheque number (0000000586585) and soft copy cheque number 6 digit (586585) is not matching , because of that i am unable to clear the incoming collections or incoming payments clrg.
so how can i remove the leading zeros after cheque number ( actually displaying 0000000586585 , but i want without zeros only cheque number 586585) in assignment field in FB05 using FF-5 & SM35).
is there any enhancement or user exit to remove leading zeros or any other way of work around .
Regards

Hi Amareswar,
In your case, request your bank to provide cheque number with leading zeros in electronic bank statement as the leading zeros in the assignment field is SAP system behaviour.
Alternatively, use 'Define Search String for Electronic Bank Statement' (refer http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/6d/0cdf4b142e11d3963800a0c9426c73/frameset.htm for details) in the IMG, customize it to search for the cheque number provided in the note to payee field > then append leading zeros.
The first method is the solution we are using and it is the most cost effective.
Hope the above helps.
