Adobe 8 & Printing leading zeros

Good afternoon,
I'm pretty new at creating forms and I need to have a field formatted to print the leading zero on our Loan ID (ie Load # 01) that is required for our imaging system to index correctly. Can anyone please point me in the right direction for doing this ? I have searched the knowledge base for help and found a couple of entries, but I'm unsure how to use the information. Thank you.

I think that was one of the solutions that I found out there, but I have never used java scripting and do not know the correct syntax for it. I tried to google the util.printf() and RegExp but could not find an example of how to print the zeros and not eliminate them. Thank you for responding.

How to remove leading zero from Material Number

Hello Everyone,
I need to figure it out how to remove leading zero from material number. Cureently extractor is sending material number as 100663. But when comes into BI i am getting as "000000000000100663" and similariy in report it is appearing as "000000000000100663". Now my client wants me to exclude preceeding zero for a material in all the reports.
Is there any setting in query desinger to handle this issure or in the backend.
Need your inputs.
Thanks,
Lasya.

Hi
you can use the function Module
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT in the start routine
to test this go to SE37 --- give the CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT -
>display -
> F8
in the input give 000000456
and execute
the out put will be 456
for getting Zeros you can use
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT--- to remove leading zeros

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 <b>'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT'</b>
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.....

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 retain leading zeros in module pool screen

Hi experts,
I have a ztable field of type NUMC4 being displayed on a module pool screen, the value in the field is '0001', but on the screen it displays value as '1' (without leading zeros), When I save the record, Even in the databse it stores as '1'.
But I have checked in debugging the field always contains '0001' in the program execution and I have also used 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT' in the PBO but no use.
Pls suggest.
Thanks,
Deepak

Check the screen attributes for the field. There is an option to show leading zeroes.
edit.
And how did you see it was stored a 1 and not 0001? Using SE16N? Mind you: with SE16N conversion-exits are executed automatically thus showing 0001 as 1.
To make sure: double click on the record in SE16N and look if it's still 1 and not 0001.

How to add leading zeros to a packed variable

Hi all,
I have a to add leading zeros for a packed field.
eg.
Data : brgew like mara-brgew.
brgew = '12.063'.
but I have to display the field as '0000000000012.063'.
How can we achieve this?
Regards.

Execute the code .
REPORT zex13 .
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 display leading zeros in a report

Hi folks,
I am doing a HR report and the users are very much used to seeing a two digit numeric value as the pay scale since their legacy days.
In BW, I have the Pay Scale defined as a character (2) and it shows the values on the report as follows:
Pay Scale
0
1
2
3
11, etc.
But the users would like to see 00, 01, 02, 03, 11, etc.
Under the query properties, display tab, there are four separate options - display zeros, show zeros as, etc. I tried all the options but the pay scale still does not show the leading zeros. I remember seeing a SAP note a while back that talks about this. Does anybody know how to force the leading zeros on the BEx report.
Thanks.
Abdul

Try removing the ALPHA Conversion from info object defintion.

How to remove leading Zeroes in all fields in Payload

Hi,
How can I remove the leading Zeroes in every Filed I have in whole Payload Structure.there are around 10000 fields that have to be removed the leading Zeroes.any good idea please.
   <POSNR>000010</POSNR>
<MATNR>000002465640</MATNR>
<ARKTX>000012 KG D107</ARKTX>
<MATKL>00030010000</MATKL>
<WERKS>0000ORGC</WERKS>
<LGORT>0000GC55</LGORT>
<CHARG>000TEST</CHARG>
like this mutliple segments and multiple Fields.so I can take as whole payload with multiple fields should not have leading Zeroes.I can handle if they are 10 0r 20 fileds,but not like whole pay load/1000 fields right.
thank you,
Prem

Hi
You can have an additional XSLT mapping, to your existing one..
use copy-of & apply-templates to copy the whole tree & make changes recursively.
below is a sample code , the marked line is where you need to try your logic of trimming Zeros. (this code does upper case)
add this below code in your interface mapping object, as XSLT mapping, which does the job (only try putting your logic)
<xsl:stylesheet
                  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                  version="2.0">
            <xsl:output method="xml"
                        indent="yes"
                        omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
            <xsl:template match="*">
                  <xsl:copy>
                        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
                        <xsl:apply-templates/>
                  </xsl:copy>
            </xsl:template>
            <xsl:template match="text()">
                  <xsl:value-of select="upper-case(.)"/>
            </xsl:template>
      </xsl:stylesheet>
hope this fixes your issue

How to remove leading zeroes on form.

Hi all,
   Is there a way that I can remove the leading zeros that come along with the Serial number from showing in my form.
i.e for example: the value of &QALS-EMATNR&
Actual value in the databse table is : "0280012380",
Printing value on the form is            : "000000000280012380",
Now I should get the actual value of the field EMATNR
   I had tried with the ways like..
&QALS-EMATNR(Z)&
&QALS-EMATNR(CIZ)&
Is there any aternatives???
Thanks,
Surender.

Hi
If you print 000000000280012380 it means the value in the variable QALS-EMATNR is 000000000280012380.
The field EMATNR has MATNR as domain, this is a type char long 18, it has the routines MATN1 for input/output convertion and that routine doesn't delete the leading.
I think the option Z works for type number only, so u need to delete the leading zero before printing the data.
So just as somebody said u can use the fm CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT in order to convert the output format, u should use it in driver program:
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
       EXPORTING
            input = QALS-EMATNR
       IMPORTING
            output = QALS-EMATNR.
If you can't change the program, u can create a routine (form) in a new program and call it by the sapscript:
/: PERFORM DELETE_LED_ZERO IN PROGRAM ZPROGRAM
/: USING       &QALS-EMATNR&
/: CHANGING &QALS-EMATNR&
/: ENDPERFORM
* &QALS-EMATNR(Z)&
So create the new program where defining the routine
FORM DELETE_LED_ZERO TABLES IN_TAB   STRUCTURE ITCSY
                                                        OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
DATA: MATNR TYPE MATNR.
READ TABLE IN_TAB WITH KEY NAME = ' QALS-EMATNR'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    MOVE IN_TAB-VALUE TO MATNR.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
          EXPORTING
               input = MATNR
          IMPORTING
              output = MATNR
    READ TABLE OUT_TAB WITH KEY NAME = ' QALS-EMATNR'.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
       MOVE MATNR TO OUT_TAB-VALUE.
       MODIFY OUT_TAB INDEX SY-TABIX.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.

How to remove leading zeroes of a coloumn in a table

can someone tell me how to remove the leading zeroes in a table's coloumn .... its a NUMC data type..
i tried with abap statement shift leading zeroes, but its not working for me.... the sorting is missing..
in properties is there any option to remove the leading zerores>
niraja

Hi Niraja,
I am displaying a table with information from SFLIGHT. The CONNID field is of type NUMC and so it too used to contain the leading zeroes. I so deleted the leading zeroes in my WDDOINIT method before binding the internal table to the context node. The table now does not display the leading zeroes as earlier. Find my coding as shown below:
METHOD wddoinit .
DATA: lr_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
        wa_sflight TYPE ig_componentcontroller=>element_node,
        lt_sflight TYPE ig_componentcontroller=>elements_node.
SELECT * FROM sflight INTO TABLE lt_sflight.
LOOP AT lt_sflight INTO wa_sflight.
    SHIFT wa_sflight-connid LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
    MODIFY lt_sflight FROM wa_sflight TRANSPORTING connid.
ENDLOOP.
lr_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = ig_componentcontroller=>wdctx_node ).
lr_node->bind_table( new_items = lt_sflight ).
ENDMETHOD.

How to remove leading zero in a inputfield

I have a inputfield UI element which is bind to a NUM type context. When it display a number, it always come with leading zero, like '001'. Can anyone teach me how to remove the leading zero.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/3a/2232666aeb45f4b759848a4caf9c8b/frameset.htm
Use the Display leading zeros formatting option in the context attribute properties.
The other option is to use a data dictionary domain for the field that has a built in field conversion exit. The ALPHA conversion exit is commonly used on NUMC fields like Sales Order number to suppress leading zeros. The WD runtime will automatically use the underlying DDIC Domain Field Conversion Exit. You don't need to do anything except use that DDic to define the context.

How to maintian leading zeros in BI ?

Hi All,
We have a requirement for one InfoObject called "0RPA_MEAN" EAN Assignment to Article for this info object i need to maintain a leading zeros as its coming from R/3 end?
Ex: In R/3 side EAN 123 is different than EAN 0123,EAN 00123.
But while extracting in BW end the the leading zeros is getting skipped off?How to retain the leading zeros?
In rsa3 its coming with the same leading zeros but in psa its not showing it?
This is very serious issue going on, need your valuable inputs on this?
Many thanks in advance.
*Points Assured*

Hi Rakesh,
When you extract data to BI there won't be any leading zeroes. So in PSA there won't be any leading zeroes.
To bring leading zeroes from PSA itself.
Double click on your datasource in rsa1. Click on the 'Fields' tab. Type 'ALPHA' for the source system field under the column 'Conv. Routines'. I think that will solve the problem.
To bring leading zeroes after PSA (ie. from transformation onwards)
But when load data from PSA to further data targets using transformation we can add leading zeroes.
So in transformation click on rule details for that info object. In the rule details you have to use a function module called 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'. when you use this function module the leading zeroes will be added automatically.
Thanking you,
Jerry
