Function Module to put leading zero

Hi,
Function that puts leading zeros. I am getting a text file which has got cost center as 1234, but i need to put leading zero in order to check the availability of the value in the table csks.
I want a function module which puts leading zero.

hi,
Use FM 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
FU CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT
Text
Conversion exit ALPHA, external->internal
ALPHA conversion is used especially with account numbers. During conversion from the external to the internal format, the system checks to see if input in the INPUT field is purely numeric, that is, if this input consists only of numbers, possibly with spaces before and after them. If this is the case, then the number string is inserted right- justified in the display field OUTPUT and all spaces to the left of the value are filled with zeroes ('0'). If the input is not purely numeric, it is inserted in the display field from left to right and all extra spaces are filled with blanks.
Example:
(Input field and output field are both eight characters in length)
1. '1234 ' --> '00001234'
2. 'ABCD ' --> 'ABCD '
3. ' 1234 ' --> '00001234'
Conversion from the internal to the external format (function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT) is undertaken in exactly the opposite manner.
Parameters
INPUT
OUTPUT

Hi,
You can use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT and if you want to do in program do as below :
shift <fieldname> left deleting leading '0'.

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?)

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.

Function Module for adding Leading Zero's to a specific field

Hi,
Can anyone please provide a Function that will do the following:
1. Take the value of the field
2. Take the field type
3. Output the value of the field with leading zero's.
Anything similar would be very helpful.
Thank You & Best Regards,
John

Sure use the function CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT, this will add leading zeros to a character based field of any length.
data: lv_c(10) type c value '123'.
call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
          exporting
                  input = lv_c
          importing
                 output = lv_c.
write:/ lv_c.

Hi,
well normally you use the method GUI_UPLOAD of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES to upload a file from your client pc. Then you use the abap statements open dataset, transfer and close dataset to put the file to the app-server.

Leading zeros to alphanumeric string

Hello all ,
Does anybody know any function module to put leading zeros to an alphanumeric sequence (18 characters)?
Example : 12wer should be '000000000000012wer'
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT only works with numbers.
Thanks in advance ,
Snehal

Hi Snehal,
<pre>
shift [field] right deleting trailing ' '.
replace ' ' in [field] with '0'.

OK?

How to remove leading zeros from variable

hi,
 how to remove leading zeros from variable like it_vbap-matnr.
value in it_vbap-matnr is 000000000000000358
i want to remove leading zeros so that it become 358
regards
deepak

You can use Function Module 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT'
This Function Module will eliminate leading Zeros.
For each MATNR Value read form DB Table,u can eliminate Leading zeros and then modify ur Internal table.
I think u will not get leading Zeros into utr Internal table when u read from VBAP.
Bcoz MATNR in VBAP itself have Conversion routine.
If u r getting leading zeros,U can use following Logic.
tables:
vbap.
data:
 t_vbap like standard table of vbap.
select matnr
from vbap
into corresponding fields of table t_vbap.
loop at t_vbap into vbap.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT'
 EXPORTING
 INPUT = vbap-matnr
 IMPORTING
 OUTPUT = vbap-matnr
modify t_vbap from vbap transporting matnr.
endloop.
Hope this will work.....

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

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.

Hi,
Please ask the ABAPer to just use P0105-PERNR within Z-report.
It should work.

Leading zeros revisited Numbers '08

I'v seen the discussions about a similar topic in this online community. I do have one curiousity/complaint. If the only way to put leading zeros is to hit the apostrophe or format the cell as text then will the number behave as a number in formulas or will you have to always convert that content to a number using a function? Seems like such an elementary "feature" to put in why did Apple leave out the ability to leave something as a number but display the leading zeros?

Numbers will usually interpret digits formatted as text to be numerical values in expressions. This only holds true if there are no extraneous alpha characters. I don't recall whether Numbers 08 (Ver. 1) had the "Numeral System" cell format option, but in Numbers 09 this completely solves the problem for those who need leading zeros. You would be wise to upgrade.

can u point out error in code ?? in debuging i can see the value of W_EBELN is geting leading zero padded but when it comes back to SAPSCRIPT it gets changed to original value of without leaing zeros.
