Conversion of numeric to character field

Hi,
I have an input field in which the user enters a number. This number has to be converted to character and then passed to the function module in my program.
Please let me know which function module I can use to convert this number that the user enters to a charater.
Its a very urgetn requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Srilakshmi B

hi
use this code . sure you will get it solution.
define one variable with type character and another with numc.
you have to take same length of both variable.
Data : var1(20) type c.
Data : var2(20) type c.
now with help of this statement you can convert data into character.
MOVE var2 to var1.

Hi ,
if you use keyword MOVE u may loose the decimal and thoussan separator and if u don't want to loose them just call the FM ..HRCM_STRING_AMOUNT_CONVERT.
i doubt wherther it is HRCM or HCRM just try using *
this will suit ur requirement.

Padding character fields with zeros

Hello,
I need to add zeros to the end of character fields TYPE C. I know i can use the conversion routines but that only works for numeric fields.
Thanks

Thanks for all the replies.
STRLEN will give me the lenght of the field but i need the offset of the last chararcter.
Your post gave me an idea though. I'm doing the following and it's working.
value = 'Thank You          '.
tmp    = '00000000000000'.
FIND REGEX `\w[ [:space:] ][ [:space:] ]` IN value MATCH OFFSET moff.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
   OVERLAY value+moff WITH tmp.
ENDIF.
The find looks for the last alphanumeric char and 2 spaces after it meaning the last alphanumeric char in the string.
Thanks to all, i will reward as fairly as possible.

Concatenating non-character fields

Hi,
I have a nested structure which I am trying to convert into a flat structure so that I can output this to a flat file.
I am trying to concatenate all the fields within my nested structure into a text field but the concatenate command does not automatically convert numerics/quantities.
An extract of my code is as follows:-
loop at itab-rec2 into wa2.
      concatenate wa2-ntgew wa2-gewei wa2-volum
                  wa2-ean11 into text.
      tlines-line = text.
      append tlines.
      clear text.
endloop.
Can anyone advise me on how I can convert the numeric/qty fields into a character string so I can the concatenate all the fields into a string.
Thanks,
Ruby

Hi Ruby,
mybe this could help:
<pre>
data:
lv_separator type c,
lv_offset type syfdpos,
lv_len    type sytleng,
lv_chars type tab512.
field-symbols:
<any> type any.
lv_separator = abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
loop at itab.
do.
    assign component sy-index of structure itab to <any>.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      exit."loop
    endif.
    describe field <any> output length lv_len.
    write <any> to lv_chars+lv_offset(lv_len).
    add lv_len to lv_offset.
if field separator is needed add these lines
    write lv_separator to lv_chars+lv_offset(1).
    add 1 to lv_offset.
enddo.
transfer lv_chars to file.
clear lv_chars.
endloop." at itab.
</pre>
This will write a formatted output file but it will use the output formatting options defined for the actual user/language/system. This will determine the representation of numeric and date fields and all other fields with output conversion. That means that in the file you will have what you see on a list or grogram screen, not what you see in debugger. Fields are separated by tabulator. As all fields always are output in the same length, you may omit this part.

Gui_upload for csv file with numeric n date fields

Hi ,
i searched on net on how to use GUI_UPLOAD for csv files using split function but the spilt function requires that the data type of all fields of the internal table should be character whereas in my case there is a numeric n data field too.So kindly help me how to do it.
One way ppl might suggest that give all the fields as char in the internal n after recieving the data in the internal convert the required fields back to data n numeric n then finally insert to the database but if i have 80 fields u would really dont want to do that as it requires precision to convert it to the same type n length as in the original database for all the fields.

yeah i guess that would be a bit longer if i m having more no of fields (80) compared to ORACLE where this can be done in a shorter way.
SO i shall use 2 internal tables here rite?? i mean first one(with all fields as char) for storing the split function values and the other one (with actual data types) .CAN u plz tell me how to convert or cast from one data type to another n while moving values from 1st internal table to another which way shall i do.
Thanks for ur help n can u suggest if there is any other method for uploading csv also other than this split method n whether this method is better n faster than others.
THANX

Alphameric value conversion to numeric

Hi all,
Somebody knows how is possible converts an alphameric to a numeric ?
I need to force insertion of any alphameric value into numeric field. This is for insert into partitioned by list table based on mod(field, 8) partition.
I guess there is a way.....but I don't know how !
thank you !

As the outer operation (mod) is not reversible (if mod(x,8)=1, then what was x?), there is no way that the whole thing is reversible.
Besides, I don't know what the maximum length of your character field is, because the code does leave room for some strange behaviour:
SQL> exec :string := 'jsdfklfjsdklfjasdfkl;sjdflk;asdjfklsdfjasldk;f';
SQL> select mod(replace(SUBSTR(DUMP(:STRING),INSTR(DUMP(:STRING),':')+1),','),8) from dual;
select mod(replace(SUBSTR(DUMP(:STRING),INSTR(DUMP(:STRING),':')+1),','),8) from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01426: numeric overflowOk, that was to be expected given the length of the string. But this?
SQL> exec :string := 'jsdfklfjsdklfjasd';
SQL> select mod(replace(SUBSTR(DUMP(:STRING),INSTR(DUMP(:STRING),':')+1),','),8) from dual;
MOD(REPLACE(SUBSTR(DUMP(:STRING),INSTR(DUMP(:STRING),':')+1),','),8)
-3.000E+10The mod function returning a huge negative number??

Character Field as Number, Need commas?

I move a quantity to a character field for a form display output. I left justify the character by shift character field left deleting leading spaces. This way it formats perfectly in the column on my report/form.
Is there any easy syntaxfunction module, etc., that will take char field 1000.0 and put inn a comma 1,000.0?
I don't want the value to shift back to the right (right-justify).
     Thank-You

Hi,
Ok..Please check this..

      v_output TYPE char20,
      v_num     TYPE p DECIMALS 1.
* Move it to numeric variable.
v_num = v_input.
* Use the write statement to add the thousands separator.
WRITE v_num TO v_output.
* Make sure in the user settings the decimal notation is 1,234,567.89
* otherwise use this code.
SET COUNTRY 'US'.
WRITE v_num TO v_output.
SET COUNTRY space.
* Remove the leading spaze.
SHIFT v_output LEFT DELETING LEADING space.

How to sort a character field with numbers and letters on the end

I have an internal table with character field which has data like this after I sort it. This is not what I expect from the sort.:
13A
15A
29A
30A
31A
33A
123A
125
62
76
94A
I expect this, which is sorted number first, then alpha. Any ideas how to get this sort?:
13A
15A
29A
30A
31A
33A
62
76
94A
123A
125

Thanks for the suggestions. After reading the suggestions and reviewing some other post threads, here's what I did to get the sort to work:
Add a dash - to the end of any record that did not have an alphabet character at the end. This way, all records have at least one non-numeric character at the end. Then I overlayed zeros '0000000' over each record. Then I sorted the table. Afterwards, I removed the dashes and zeros.
The long way around, but it worked for me. Since the internal table is processed in memory, it doesn't add much overhead to the run time.

Check..numeric and charcter fields.

Hi,
        iam checking the conditions for numeric and character.if the output is numeric then it can shift to right justify,else if it is charcter left justify.but the following code is not checking for charcter fields.

plz help me..
thanks

hi,
try sth like that:
parameters p_input(50).

How can i compare the character fields?

I have a requirement to compare the character fields .
I have to compare the 2 character fields of a table CDPOS
As follows .
If CDPOS-VALUE-OLD GT CDPOS-VALUE-NEW
      Populate    REDATED = YES.
ELSE
      Populate REDATED = NO.
My doubt here is how can we compare the character fields.?
   When I do Extended Program Check: I am getting error like this ?
Greater than/less than comparisons with character type operands may not be portable
Please give me idea .
Thanks ,

How to get a currency format for a character field

for some specifix reason, we have a requirement to show character field (which results in value 633948) in the format $633,948
how do i do this?
if i do SELECT to_char(:c_1,'$999,999')) from dual;
it gives me ora: 01722: invalid number error
c_1 is a user parameter of data type character

Try using TO_NUMBER first, as in something like:

Conversion error in module API6850_HDR_PROD_MAP, field API6850_HDR-WEIGHTUN

Hi All,
While transferring materials form ECC to GTS (Sandbox), i am receiving the above mentioned error.
Conversion error in module API6850_HDR_PROD_MAP, field API6850_HDR-WEIGHTUNIT_ISO, value LBR.
As per standard , In the ISO code for US pound its mentioned as LBR in both ECC and GTS
But within material master we generally use LB as US pound.
Can anyone please let us know how we can solve this one?
Regards
Proloy

Hello Proloy,
UoM handling is often issue within material transfer.
You have generally 2 options:
1. In GTS maintain via TA CUNI your LB as is in your feeder. I would suggest to adjust GTS customizing with your ERP. Just do Utilities --> Adjustment and your RFC to feeder.
2. Or you can map your LB to GTS LBR via user exit.
Cheers,
Gabriel.
