How to "Custom conversion routine" in BW

Hi team,
The R3 table level field has converion routine which stores the value as "A" .
When you display this in application (or) using ALV, it shows as "AB". There are custom function modules behind this conversion routine.
In BW, when we extract until PSA, we are getting "A".
I see the option at Info object level to write" conversion routine" but how and where to start this conversion routine in BW.
In BW, we want to show "AB"
Thanks
Angelo

Hi,
this problem is solved in transformation PSA to InfoObject using formula or routine.

How to write conversion routine for key figure?

Our customer has this requirment:
we need to know the last time of some TV program in BEx report, If a TV program last 500 seconds, we need show the key figure like this: 00:08:20, If a TV program last 100000 seconds, we need show the key figure like 27:46:40 (27 hours and 46 minitues and 27 seconds), If we define a key figure as time, BW system will report a error that say it is not acceptable time. If we want to define a integer, but we need display it like hhmmss format. We know we can write conversion routine for char. but I don't how to write conversion routine for key figure.   Please give me any hint if any other solutions?

If you want to do in Transformation Layer :
You can use routine ...break up the seconds into minute hour and seconds
you will have to handle few cases in this:
let say your variable lv_seconds holds the number of seconds you want to convert to hour min and seconds
DATA: lv_seconds type i,
           lv_hrs type i,
          lv_sec type i,
          lv_min type i.
lv_hrs = lv_seconds / 3600
if lv_hrs >= 1.
lv_min = (lv_hrs - trunc(lv_hrs))*60
here again handle seconds if min >60.
else.
lv_hrs = '00'.
lv_min = lv_hrs*60
It is just hint ..how you can manipulate the seconds to get it...you will have to think about the complete algorithm

How to use conversion routine?

hi,
in my z-table i have a field called matnr for the material number say.
its domain defines it as 18 char.
say i have created an entry say 200.
so it will be saved may be as 000000000000000200.
i want it should be displayed with as 200.
and if i search for say 200.
so it should not look for the proceeding zero's.
it should not give me an error that record doesn't exists.
please tell me how to use exaclty conversion routine.
thanks
ekta

hi all,
the problem has been solved.
CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT   this FM module can only be used where the z-table has matnr of the type MATNR the standard matnr of the table mara.
so in my program it was not working.
my data element was not matnr.
i had used a popup for position finder.
so it could not read the material number which had zeros as prefixes.
thanks for all the help
thanks

How to remove conversion routine "ABPSN"

Dear gurus,
In my transfer rules, under the tab "DataSource/Trans. Structure", I have a field PSPID whose "Conversion Routine" has the value "ABPSN". This conversion routine converts the external format to the SAP format which, however, is not what I want. I want to remain the original format so I need to remove this "ABPSN" conversion routine. When I double clicked it, it linked to the InfoObject 0PROJECT maintanace screen. On that screen, I removed the conversion routine "PROJ" for 0PROJECT, but still ABPSN remains and the data loaded into the InfoCube have been converted.
So how can I remove this ABPSN convertion routine?
Thanks in advance.
Jin Ming

Hi Jin Ming,
Conversion Exit ABSPN is related to WBS element and not project at R/3 side.
But at BW side this routine internally calls Project routine .
The Process is,
1. Delete all transactional data , from related ODS & Cube wherever 0PRoject is used .
2. Delete master data from 0Project.
3. Change object 0Project remove the conversion using Tcode RSD1.
4. Load master data for 0Project.
5. Load transaction data.
Hope that helps.

How to reset Conversion Routine NUMCV in InfoObject

Dear all,
In order to test, I deleted the Conversion Routine NUMCV in tab General of an InfoObject. And now I'd like to reset it as NUMCV. A message says: Conversion Routine NUMCV was deleted.
How can I resolve it?
Thanks a lot in advance

Thanks for your answer.
I've tried to create a new InfoObject, but everytime when I choose "Data type" as NUMC and then choose "Convers. Rout" as "NUMCV", it's said : Conversion Routine NUMCV was deleted.
Do you have any idea?

Conversion Routines

How to use Conversion Routines in Production Support?What is Conversion Routine?How it is Working in real time?

hi..
i'm not too sure abt it.. check out if the below helps ya.
you can create customer routines. According to OSS Note 41474 it is safe to create a function module that has the conversion exit naming standard (Begins with CONVERSION_EXIT*). You will get a warning that you can ignore. The important part is to have the first letter of your rountine name begin with Z or Y. That way you won't have a conflict with SAP. An example would be:
CONVERSION_EXIT_Z0001_INPUT .
i browsed n found these details as none had answered ur question.

How to delimit leading zero in vendor number in OO ABAP ALV without using conversion routine

Hi,
How to delimit leading zero in OO ABAP ALV without using conversion routine, because I have many fields like vendor, customer, material number etc..
How to address this leading zero.
I appreciate your quick response.
Regards,
Nalini S.

Hi Nalini,
Delimiting leading zeros in fields has to be done via conversion routines, as suggested by Vadamalai you need to pass on the conversion routine name in you field catalog variable.
Now as to which object oriented approach are you using to have your table contents display in ALV as it matters -
Using FACTORY method of CL_SALV_TABLE class, or
Using SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY method of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class.
Using FACTORY method of CL_SALV_TABLE will do your own work, no need to apply any conversion routines or set long/medium/short text for columns as we do in field catalogs!

How to transport InfoObject Conversion Routine

Hi,
I am using an existing coversion routine to my InfoObjects, this conversion routine is a custom object which already existed in Dev created by someone and i have just used it for my InfoObjects, now how can i transport this conversion routine to CONS, is it enough if i just transport the INPUT and OUTPUT function module.
Thanks
Akila. R

hi Just go to the transport Connection, select the infoobjet automatically the conversion routines will be associated with it no need of collecting it seperately .
for example
ALPHA conversion is used in the BW system for each presetting for character characteristics. The ALPHA conversion routine is registered automatically when a characteristic is created. If you do not want to use this routine, you have to remove it manually.
The ALPHA conversion routine is used, for example, with account numbers or document numbers.
For conversions from an internal to an external format (function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT) the process is reversed. Blank characters on the left-hand side are omitted from the output.
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT ths functional module will be transorted automatically with out your notice
hope this helps

How to debug start routine for the custom code?

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tell me how to debug the start routine? Also could you please guide me where to write the custom code in the start routine.
Thanks in advance.
Sharat.

Rajkumar,
Thank you for your help. but the blog link that you send it to me does not mention anything about ABAP debugger screen.
What should I do once I get in to the ABAP debugger? the link only tells how to get to the ABAP debugger that I know.
Also it say that I have to use the infinite loop to debugg the start routine.
Can anybody tell me how to debugg start routine with the scren shots please. I don't know how to use infinite loop in the start routine. Is their any easy process step by step to see my particular record behavior in the start routine?
I will assing you the points. again thank you.

Conversion Routines and Function Modules

Hi All,
I have to write the Conversion Routines and Transformation Process for below Fields,
I have a situation, where am having text files with the data having below fields, and before uploading the data to Database i have to do conversion.
So anybody Plz help me regarding this conversion topic how to write the process and how to write the code.
Table       Field Name Type    Length        Short Text
BKPF     BLART       CHAR     2     Document Type
BKPF     BUKRS       CHAR     4     Company Code
BSEG     BUKRS       CHAR     4     Company Code
BSEG     HKONT       CHAR     10     General Ledger Account
BSEG     KOSTL       CHAR     10     Cost Center
BSEG     VERTN       CHAR      13     Contract Number
KNA1     KUNNR       CHAR     10     Customer Number

Hi Bala
Supposing all the fields exist in internal table itab. You can add the code simple as below:
loop at itab.
   perform conv_fld changing: itab-bukrs,
                              itab-blart,
                              itab-hkont,
                              itab-kostl,
                              itab-vertn,
                              itab-kunnr.
endloop.
*&      Form conv_fld
FORM conv_fld CHANGING fld.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
    INPUT         = fld
IMPORTING
   OUTPUT        = fld.
ENDFORM.                    " conv_fld
So for each field depending on its length the conversion routine acts and gives the right output. Please make sure, that your internal table if defined with the right field references or length.
Kind Regards

Conversion routines on SAP 4.0B

Hi All!
I have a piece of software running on SAP 4.5 and I have to port it to SAP 4.0B (The horror !!!). I managed to solve all the problems but one. In version 4.5, author created many domains with conversion exits and some of these conversion exits are missing (especially - timestamp conversions) on 4.0B (e.g. TSTPS). This may sound like noob question but is there any way to add missing conversion exits to 4.0B or write new, custom ones? I haven't done it before and I don't even know how to start.
I will appreciate all the help you can give me.
Thanks in advance
Tomasz

Hello Tomasz,
Poor guy! Working with 4.0B on April 1st is an appropriate day for sure. A year ago I was working on 4.0B -fortunately for a very short time. This was not so much a problem because I am working with SAP since the lowest version. Nevertheless it was a pain! First: I don't know a 100% solution and I am not able to login into this guy anyway.
To solve your task you have to create your own conversion. TSTPS is linked to a simple ABAP program. Under 4.0B you have to create this program. As far as I remember those conversions are screen/ta related. Go to the field where the conversion has to accour, click F1 and then go to technical settings. There should appear a box which is responsible for the conversion routine. From there try to proceed.
Sorry, I can not provide you with more (because I don't know).
May be it helps when you login to SAP Help Portal (on the web).
I wish you the best,
Heinz

Session broker and custom conversion manager

I'm having some problem using session broker and a custom conversion manager. I just moved from using single session to using a session broker in the sessions.xml. I'm using a custom conversion manager as shown in this tech. tips URL
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/technical/tips/customconversion/index.html
Here's my conversion manager set up code -
public class JpmiConversionManagerSetup extends SessionEventAdapter
* During the pre-login event the new MyConversionManager must be installed
* @see oracle.toplink.sessions.SessionEventAdapter#preLogin
* @param event
public void preLogin(SessionEvent event) {
ConversionManager cm= new JpmiConversionManager();
ConversionManager.setDefaultManager(cm);
event.getSession().getLogin().getPlatform().setConversionManager(cm);
My session broker manages 2 sessions. In sessions.xml for one session I have the <event-listener-class> entry where I need some conversion, another session I don't have any such entry as I don't need any conversion.
Now when I try to run a named query using session broker the conversion part blows up, throws a ConversionException. Any idea? Do I need to configure the session broker instead of session in the preLogin or anything like that?

I think sessions editor is not available in 10.1.3dp4 yet. So I have to write the sessions.xml by hand. But the parser throwing me an error saying that <session-broker> is not allowed in sessions.xml.
SessionLoaderExceptions:

WBS element conversion routines

Hey guys,
I recently added PS_PSP_PNR to 2LIS_11_VAHDR in order to extract the WBS element from the sales document header. So far so good and everything works fine. In the extractor checker I get the data as expected e.g. 'S-00017.02.09'.
The problem occurs as soon as the data is transferred to BW. In the transfer structure I see that PS_PSP_PNR har conversion routine ABPSP that converts the WBS from external format CHAR(24) to internal NUMC(8). And this is what is causing me the trouble! In the PSA the WBS from above is converted to '00029788'.
I tried several different approaches. If the field is mapped directly to 0WBS_ELEMT the value '00029788' is obviously also written to the DSO and further up the data flow.
I tried coding an ABAP routine in the transfer rules which does not seem to work:
call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ABPSP_OUTPUT'
exporting
input = TRAN_STRUCTURE-ps_psp_pnr
importing
output = RESULT.
RETURNCODE = 0.
ABORT = 0.
Since the routine above did not help me at all I tested the FM in SE37 and it does not return any values for '00029788'.
Any clues on this? How to proceed?
BR
Stefan.

Well... Didn't want to wait any further for an answer, so I appended PS_POSID to the extract structure and filled this field in ZXRSAU01. In the exit I used 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ABPSP_OUTPUT' to convert to the correct format.
