Getting list of files from Unix directory inclding files frm sub-directries

Hi All,
I am trying to use Fm 'SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST' and
'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL' for getting a list of all files in a Unix directory including files from sub-directories.
In the first case I am getting an Exception called 'Access Error'
and when I use the 2nd FM, I am not getting any output.
Is there a special way to use these FMs.
Kindly help.

Leading zeros remove from FB05 for assignment field in process open items b

Dear expert
At present i am using the electronic bank statement completed OT83 & OT51configuration, when i am running FF-5 the EBS soft copy has been uploaded and created batch input session.
I executed batch input session and the transactions has been posting through FB05 for outgoing payment clearing with assignment field ( where check number is laying correctly and matching EBS soft copy cheque number and SAP outgoing clearing account line item assignment cheque number ) in case of outgoing clearing is happening correctly.
but where as i have a problem incoming clrg cheque number which is displaying in assignment field and updated when client using FF68(check deposit / collections).
the user is punching all collections from customers using t.code FF68 and cheque number is updated with 6 digit number in the variant. it is like a JV.
after posting batch input session the cheque is number displaying in assignment field. the cheque number is updated with 6 digit number. but in the variant cheque number width 6 digit only but after posting FF68 & SM35 the system automatically taking leading zeros for the remaining length. Cheque number standard length in SAP 13 in table .
total 13 digit length but user punched only 6 digit only, because the cheque number 6 digit numberonly. so the remaining 7 digits it is occupaying 0000000.
while executing FF_5 and SM35 (thr FB05) the assignment field cheque number (0000000586585) and soft copy cheque number 6 digit (586585) is not matching , because of that i am unable to clear the incoming collections or incoming payments clrg.
so how can i remove the leading zeros after cheque number ( actually displaying 0000000586585 , but i want without zeros only cheque number 586585) in assignment field in FB05 using FF-5 & SM35).
is there any enhancement or user exit to remove leading zeros or any other way of work around .
Regards

Hi Amareswar,
In your case, request your bank to provide cheque number with leading zeros in electronic bank statement as the leading zeros in the assignment field is SAP system behaviour.
Alternatively, use 'Define Search String for Electronic Bank Statement' (refer http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/6d/0cdf4b142e11d3963800a0c9426c73/frameset.htm for details) in the IMG, customize it to search for the cheque number provided in the note to payee field > then append leading zeros.
The first method is the solution we are using and it is the most cost effective.
Hope the above helps.
Kind regards,
John Chin

Remove leading zeros coming from Active Directory

Greetings all. Our sapusername is stored in Active Directory with leading zeros. Is there a way to remove these zeros in the portal so SSO will work? I have had my AD team manually remove the zeros in front of my sapusername, so I'm sure that's the issue.
Alternately, is there a setting in R3 that would allow leading zeros?

Hi,
I've seen the problem before and I think you only have two choices (haven't looked into if R3 can accept leading zeros)
1. Since you are allready retrieving sapusernames from an R3 change that mapping to remove leading zeros and possibly put it in a new attribute.
2. Create a JAAS login module which retrieves found username from the HeaderVariableLoginModule and trims leading zeros before putting the username back to shared state. This new LoginModule must be placed before the CreateTicketLoginModule.
Note it is not very trivial to create a JAAS login module but an excellent guide can be found here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/46/3ce9402f3f8031e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

MF50 deletes leading Zero's from the material number.

We have a case where we have alpha-numeric material numbers that include some leading zero's. MF50 in it's released format automatically truncates leading zero's. In our case these leading zero's are required only for alpha-numeric material numbers.
Looking on OSS I see multiple notes relating to this issue. Any suggestions to fix this problem would be appreciated.

How to read XML from UNIX file system

Hi,
I have this code with read a xml file from windows:
Document doc = builder.build(new File(C:\\mywork\\src\\Contacts.xml));
But how can I read the same file from UNIX? (The file is located in "\tmp\Contacts.xml")
Thanks

Hi,

File(C:\\mywork\\src\\Contacts.xml));

KennyNo, the file is really located in "/tmp/Contacts.xml". You would writeDocument doc = builder.build(new File("/tmp/Contacts.xml"));Also, your original code would need quotes around the filename too.

How can I format a cell in Numbers to have leading zeros in a number?

I imported a spreadsheet from Excel (Office 2014, Win 7) through iCloud and some numbers were formatted to have leading zeros (012358) in the original Excel file but the leading zero format was lost in Numbers. Is there a way to format cells to have a number displayed with the leading zero in Numbers? The leading zero is part of an identification and is important to the numbers (0027 is not the same as 27 in these records).
thanks,
Bob

James has the formating part, but if you already did the import you can use the following formula to replace the zeros that were leading if you know it is a four digit reference number....
=right("000" & A2,4)
copy those values into your text formatted column from James' answer and you got it.

Leading zero

Hi,
I working in table control.When i click the download button then all the material number which is in table control should be download in local excel file.
Its working fine.But the leading zero of the material number is removed.
Is it possible to download the material with leading zero.If then please guide me.
Regards,
K.Sudhakaran.

Sudha,
Sorry for a mis-leading answer before. i didnt think through the problem before giving you an answer. The thing here is there are leading zeroes added to your data as long as your data stays in SAP. You will also see leading leading zeroes if you have downloaded the file as a text file.
But the problem here is Excel has already been set to remove zeroes from the front of a number if that particular coloumn has been declared as a numerical field. You try to show your user to change that field in excel to character so that there will be leading zeroes again.
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do on the SAP side, as SAP is giving the number out with leading zeroes and excel is doing the trick for you.

Aneesh.

Leading Zeros in SU Number

We are using SU Managment
How do we get rid of leading zeros in SU# number range. System is storing pallet ID # with leading zeros in the LEIN table. This is causing issues while we retrive SU data from the tables, systems ask to enter the SU# number with leading zeros.
My Pallet Tag is printed with out leading zeros SU # 1234567890 and when the user tries to put away using LM02 system does not read the pallet ID. It looking for 00000000001234567890.
Even on desktop LS33 if I try to display a pallet with SU # 1234567890 system looks for SU Num. with leading zeros. Is there a way to get the leading zeros off from SU#
Appriciate your help

Please check in SPRO whether the conversion exit is maintained for Storage Unit Management. Follow the below path to do so.
SPRO -> Storage Unit Management - > Master Data - > Define Number Ranges. In the Pop Up choose "Conversion exit for storage unit number" .
Here you can define the "length of SU Numbers "

Leading zeroes - switching off ALHPA conversion doesn't work

Hi all.
I have an IObj ZPARENT with compounding attribute ZATTR.
While loading data into ZPARENT I got errors regarding duplicate records. Errors occur because I got leading zeroes in ZATTR and records like "1", "01", "001" become "0001" .
I thought it is because of ALHPA conv. in ZATTR, so I deleted ZATTR master data, removed ALPHA conv. from ZATTR and tried to reload data. I got same duplicate key error and leading zeroes.
I also examined my transformation. It doesn't have any ALPHA conversions. I do post data into ZATTR through simple routine:
     data: CATTR type c length 35.
     CATTR = SOURCE_FIELDS-REF_INF.
     REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' IN CATTR WITH ':'.
     RESULT = CATTR.
The data in PSA looks fine - it doesn't have any leading zeroes in PSA, but than it comes to IObj. I got them.
What I supposed to do to avoid leading zeroes in ZATTR??

Hi,
Below SAP Note may help you out.

Exporting leading zeros in error

Hello,
I am currently working on a problem that was uncovered in our support pack testing. we were on support pack 14 and now have upgraded to support pack 18. the users run a ALV report and would export the report to excel. the ALV report would display the line item asa 2 digit number. when they would download the report, the field would display as a 4 digit fields with three leading zeros. when you checked the excel file, the line item field would have the green triangle in the upper left corner of the cell and when you checked in green triangle, you would get " the number is stored as text". now after the upgrade, this is not happening.
does anyone know why this was happening and if this was corrected in one of the support packs 15 thru 18?
one of our users was using this file with the leading zeros to upload to a external database and now is having problem with the new file format
thanks in advance for the help

Dear Friend ,
You can mention in the Fieldcat LZERO = 'X' for the field in fieldcatalog.
this will solve your leading zero problem.

Variable substitution: (delete leading zeros from file name)

Hi All,
I am configuring an IDOC to FILE (fcc scenario) with a requirement of using the IDOC number in the output file name.
Using variable substitution, I manged to get the IDOC number from incoming Idoc-control record but it comes in its entitre length with a few leading zeroes like '00000001234'.
So my output file name looks like 'Output_000000001234.txt' . I want it to be like 'Output_1234.txt'.
Is it possible to achieve it ?
Thanks
Shirin

Hi Shirin,
First supress the leading zeros of IDOC number by using the following code:
Create a user defined funciton zerosuppress and take the cache as value and take one argument input. Then put the code below:
//write your code here
String output = input.replaceFirst("^0+","");
return output;
Then use variable substitution for generating ur IDOC number in the out put file name.

To remove leading zeroes and take directly from IDOC(Segment field) to file

Hi SapAll.
i have got a simple requirement in a idoc to file Interface.
here in a sender Idoc there will be one segment with one field,the requirement is to remove leading zeroes and take directly the data from this field and map to one of the field in reciever file structure.
i had used the formatnumber (under arithmatic functions)in PI 3.0 but now when iam using it in PI7.1 it was raising some jave exception error.
it would be preferable if any body can give me the solution without user defined functions.
regards.
Varma.

from your first post:
i had used the formatnumber (under arithmatic functions)in PI 3.0 but now when iam using it in PI7.1 it was raising some jave exception error.
use the same formatting that you used in 3.0 .... try with just a # in the FormatNum function.

Abhishek.
