How to retain leading zeros in an excel sheet

Hi,
In my application I need to export the response from a struts action class to an excel sheet. I have done the coding but while exporting to the excel , the leading zeros are getting truncated. If the value is '01' it is displayed as '1' only.
                response.setContentType("application/text");
                         response.setHeader("Content-disposition",
                                   "Attachment;filename=\"export.xls\"");
                         response.getOutputStream().println(data);
                         response.getOutputStream().flush();This is the code which I am using to export all the data to the excel.Here the variable data is a String .
Kindly help on this issue.
Thanks in advance...

I tried that way also, but its not working. I have defined all the values as strings only. Thanks for ur replyWhich API are you using to write excel files? You can try to surround the numeric string value with singlequotes (or escaped doublequotes)String numericString = "'01'";so that Excel interprets it as string.

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.

Retain Leading Zero in CSV

Hi,
We are exporting the output in CSV format but CSV is not showing leading zeros.
For example - if the value is 0002 then it appears as 2 in CSV.
Is there any method or trick to retain leading zeros.
Although, this can be done through excel macro(after the file is opened) but for that manual intervention is required.
Is there any way to run excel macro through web page ? I mean if we could automate the procedure of running macro.
so that user just clicks on the button "Export to CSV" on web page and he gets the output in Excel with leading zeros retained.
Regards,
Anil

Hi Jeremy,
Although i am building a string in BLS and writing it into a csv file
but I tried to test your statement by simulating with test data
For one column of "VARCHAR2" datatype, the value is '0002'
when i test the query results with text/xml output, the SQLDataType="12"
and the value is 0002
but when i test the query results with text/csv output, the value is 2.

Anil

Retaining leading zero after sum operation

I have a variable g = 00000005. Now when I am adding g = g + 1.
The result is coming 6 but without leading zeroes.How could I retain leading zero after sum operation.

Hi Priya,
Declare the g as type N.. then do sum.. okay..
ex :
data : d(7) type n value '0000005'.
g = g + 1.
write : g.
output is : 0000006.

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!
