Hi Vibhuti,
How you created customer name and address, I mean to say data element? You can not have data with space except for short, medium and long text.
Check if you are excluding first row as header in info package, if you have header in Flat file. Check if Lower case is ticked in Customer name and customer address.

Custom Conversion Exit for a Custom InfoObject

Has anyone created a custom conversion exit for an InfoObject?
I have a requirement to mask the first five digits of the Social Security Number on output only. I created a custom conversion exit ZCONV, for example and added code to the output function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ZCONV_OUTPUT to accomplish the masking. In the CONVERSION_EXIT_ZCONV_INPUT, I just passed INPUT to OUTPUT.
It works OK for masking the output results but any input variables return an "Invalid Format" error. So I am not able to have a selection screen variable where you enter the SSN number and run the query for it. It tries to convert it to the masked form and then run the query.
Any pointers. Helpful answers will be promptly rewarded.
Thanks
Vineet

Since the ultimate goal was not to display Social Security Numbers, I changed the custom Conversion exit to display SID values. In case anyone needs to do the same, The output function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ZCONV_OUTPUT is coded to read the SID value for the SSN number from the SID table of the InfoObject and the input function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ZCONV_INPUT does the reverse by reading the SSN number for the SID.
Dropdowns on variable values work OK by displaying the SID value and the employee name. The only drawback is that you cannot input a SSN number on the selection variable. You have to do the dropdown and select.

Assigning Conversion Exit to a Select-Option on Selection Screen.

Hi,
Is it possible to assign Conversion Exit (Like ALPHA) to a Select-Option on a Selection Screen. If so can anyone please tell me how is this achieved.
Thanks & Regards,
Goutham.
P.S.: Points will be definitely awarded.

Hi Anjaneyulu,
Thanks for the Reply.
But the problem comes here, when he enters both the ranges as well as single values, using the extension button provided for the select-option.
One option i found was in the layout of selection screen, to the select-option i assigned the ALPHA as conversion exit. But it says that this will be over-written once program/screen is generated.
Kindly let me know if any one has a solution for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Goutham.

Conversion exit missing in BI - Best practice to install missing exits

Hi,
We are on BI 7.0 SP10.
While doing mappings, I found two conversion Exits MATN2 & SCOPE missing from the BI box. Hence SAP was throwing error while trying to activate the 7.0 datasource.
On more analysis, I found that the function groups are altogether missing.
What is the best practice to install these missing objects (Func Groups, Func Mods) in the system.
Our ABAP person suggested to create these objects as "Repair objects" in the system. Is that the right procedure?
Please advise.
Thanks
Vishno

I have been through the following steps:
Entered this URL http://help.sap.com/bp/initial/index.htm
Clicked on 'Cross-industry Packages'
Clicked on 'CRM'
Clicked on 'Englilsh'
Then the following page is displayed:

BRFplus: Conversion Exits in Elements ?

Hi all,
I have created a custom DDIC Domain with a conversion exit (that is, with FMs CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT and CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT). The idea is to define a single duration field that will hold days, hours and minutes. Internally it is defined as type NUMC; externally it may be entered and displayed as format "DDD HH:MM". This works fine when used as a parameter on the selection screen of an ABAP program.
In BRFplus I have created an Element that is bound to this DDIC Element. However BRFplus seems to treat it as just plain text without a conversion exit - no formatting of the value takes place.
Also, it is not recognising the Output Length of the DDIC Domain - only allowing character entry up to the internal length.
Can anyone advise whether BRFplus (NW 701) supports conversion exits on an Element ? If yes, then what else do I need to try to get it to work ??
Thanks & regards,
Grogan

Hi Grogan,
Conversion exits are not supported in NW701 and also in later releases there are still some limitations.

Conversion exit ALPHA, external- internal

What does the below Alpha Conversion do :
<b>Conversion exit ALPHA, external->internal</b>
An example wud help me understand better!!

Hi,
A conversion routine is identified by its five-place name and is stored as a group of two function modules. The function modules have a fixed naming convention. The following function modules are assigned to conversion routine xxxxx:
CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT
CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT
The INPUT module performs the conversion from display format to internal format. The OUTPUT module performs the conversion from internal format to display format.
E.g. If you specify ALPHA conversion for Material number then when user enters the value for MATNR as 123; internally it is converted to 0000123 and is stored in that format in the database. In this case, conversion is done from external format to internal format and the other way if you are reading value from database; it is converted from internal to external format and value is shown as 123, instead of 0000123.
Hope this helps.

Where can we see the Conversion exit written in the Info pack

Hi ,
In the info package -> in details tab - > USE CONVERSION ROUTINE is enabled.
I want to know why this conversion has been used and where can see the code for this routine.
Request share your replies.

Hi,
If you set this indicator, the conversion exits are used when you maintain selection criteria. This means that the field values are displayed in external format and also have to be entered in external format.
If you do not set this indicator, the field values are shown in internal format in the selection criteria maintenance and you also have to enter them in internal format.
Eg. if you have selection for MATNR in the InfoObject, go to 0MATERIAL tab you will see the routine as MATN1.
you can chk it in SE37.
CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT
CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT

BPS - No alpha conversion exit or similar provision?

Dear BPS Experts,
In the Flat File that we are loading to BPS Cube (using the HOW-TO Paper in SDN), if User is having a value 100000006 for Customer and value 10200058 for Material then the flat file upload exit fails. It works only when user changes the value for Customer to 000000000100000006 and value for Material to 0010200058.
I believe, you must have understood my point.
PROBLEM 1
In BW, we have Conversion Exits like ALPHA that take care of internal to external format conversion and vice-versa. Unfortunately, in BPS, it seems system expects users to enter values as they exist in the master data tables like P Tables for Characteristics.
QUE 1: Is my above understanding correct?
We have many characteristics (25-30) in our file and I do not want to write a separate Exit to do any conversion like ALPHA, that would really slow down the performance.
PROBLEM 2
We have a field in the file called 'Manager Name'. Now this field can really have any value. It is not possible for us to load master data in BW for this field. If BPS is suffering from this basic limitation then I am afraid, we can not use it for loading flat file. We have to use only BW
QUE 2: Is there any way, by which I can make BPS accept and load transaction data in BPS Cube even if some master data in that file does not exist. If so, then what is the way to go about it?
I am aware of BW means to load Flat File data to BW/BPS Cubes. But we have many compelling reasons to use Planning Folder to load Flat File. Hence, if some expert can advice about overcoming these limitations with BPS then it would be highly appreciated.
PS: I understand, functionally it does not make sense to plan for something which does not exist in master data. Having said so, there can be some exceptional situations and BPS being the sibling of BW, I expected it to have that capacity.
Regards,
Adi

Hi Deepti,
I appreciate your link. That document is very good although it does not solve my problem.
Please note that I am talking about loading a flat file to BPS Cube here and there may be hundreds of values which still do not exist in master data. Your suggested HOW-TO document will be helpful when someone tries to enter data in a planning layout as we do not expect users to enter so many records in planning layout.
I am also aware that we can simply create a Z-Transaction Code (similar to RSD1) to update master data values for a particular InfoObject and Users can be given access to this code. But that is not what I intend to do.
I am looking for a broader and generic solution.
When we load a flat file to BW, we have an option in InfoPackage "Load Transaction Data even if no Master Data exists".. that kind of option or setting really along with something similar to ALPHA Conversion Exits.
Hope my requirement is clearer.
Regards,
Adi

Conversion exit error while activating the transfer rules

Hello gurus,
We are doing a function module extraction with 3.X data sources.
On activating the transfer rules , i am getting a conversion exit error for "0fiscyear", but in the infoobject we don't have the conversion exit for it.
Points will be awarded for any kind of response.
Thanks and Regards,
Anu.

Hi,
1. Please check in the transformation, its necessary to provide the fiscal variant mapping as well when ur mapping fiscal year object. as on the basis of that value fiscal period will be derived.
2 I guess ur doing direct mapping (Time conversion) and there is no routine written for that. if any u can check that as well for any error.
Thanks

How to find out the conversion exit format for VBRP-VRKME

Hi Gurus,
           I am writing a report to fetch delivery details based on storage location'123'. My requirement is tat i shud convert the Billed Quantity unit TO Base unit of measure. In my VBRP table the field value/contents of VBRP-VRKME have values PAK for PAC( packets) and KAR for CAR(carton). When i click on User-specific Settings - - Check the filed CHEECK CONVERSION EXITS , i am able to get see the PAC and CAR respectively.
      But unfortunately when i selecting te fields form vbrp in my internal table i am getting the values 'PAK' for PAC and 'KAR' for CAR'. AS i am writing a report can any one suggest me how to convert this , as i wud b making use of FM MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT to convert to base unit of measure, n this FM is not accepting the values like PAK and CAK.
      Your Sugesstions are of utmost importance for me.
Thanking you,
ZIa

Hi,
Conversion routines are maintained at Domain Level(Definition Tab), Meins is the domain for VRKME data element.
You have to use the following routines,
CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT
CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT

Web Dynpro ABAP: Assigning of Conversion Exits in ALV

Hi,
We are currently developing a generic data display application using ALV technology in Web Dynpro ABAP. "Generic" means that the structure of the data is created dynamically during runtime (using RTTS) and that even the contained data elements are created dynamically without any relation to DDIC. The generation is based on metadata like field name, data type, length, decimals, conversion exit.
Our problem is that we were not able to find a way to assign the conversion exit of a data element ("column") in Web Dynpro ALV. Without this feature, no output conversions will take place since the data elements have no relation to DDIC. In the "classical" ALV, this could be easily done using method SET_EDIT_MASK of class CL_SALV_COLUMN.
Is there a similar method in WebDynpro ALV or at least an alternative approach to assign a conversion exit to a column or cell?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best Regards,
Sven

Hello Sven Hader,
As you said you are generatiing the metadata like field name, data type, length, decimals, conversion exit dynamically.
Can you please let me know how you are diong this?
Meanwhile, you can try this approach to assign a Conversion exit to ALV Table column attribute dynamically.

ECC6 - ALV Grid Output Conversion Exit

Hi,
I'm creating a program in ECC6 to display the report in ALV grid by called FM: REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
EG: Select field (TPLNR) from table IFLOT. Value retrieved are: ?0100000000000000029. However, the output doesnt do the conversion exit to change the TPLNR value to format MY.FO.001.
I did the same in 4.6C system, the ALV report able to display the correct value of TPLNR. Eg: MY.FO.001 instead of
?0100000000000000029.
If anyone encountered the same issues in ECC6 system which In an ALV grid, it doesnt to display data that is based on a domain with a conversion exit?

Hi Simone,
Check this NO_CONVEXT in the Structure LVC_S_FCAT. Populate with SPACE in the FCAT Build.
If you have conversion Exit to that field then use the CONVEXIT in the same structure while building Field Catalog. sometimes you have Z converions so you need to check this.
If you a Table field in the FCAT then you dont need all these things. because conversion exits are automatically done. Also COL_OPT = 'X' this will align the ALV in the correct format for output. hope this helps.

Conversion exits before value mapping in AIF

Hi All
I'm trying to use conversion exits before mapping in define value mapping, where I want to truncate leading zeroes in the source field before the value mapping is executed.
I'm using the conversion exit 'ALPHA' (internal->external) to achieve this, but the leading zeroes do not get truncated. Below is an example-
Conversion Exit: ALPHA
Data Element for conversion:
Direction: Internal->External
Source Value: 0000012345
Expected Value after conversion: 12345
Actual Value after conversion: 0000012345
A similar issue Error in reading a value from database table is noted here, however note 1892571 that is suggested does not seem to resolve the issue I'm facing.
Am I missing something here?
Regards
Chandra

Hi Glenn Bumanlag,
I think the values that you have given for source values (Agency and scheme)
and Target values (Agency and scheme) may be mismatching so kindly chek that...even i got the same error in the past..........
If you the this problem kindly change it accordingly and also refresh the cache once you that with this.........
Kindly follow the below mentioned link and check if you have followed these steps.

Flat file Error in conversion exit CONVERSION_EXIT_PERI6_INPUT

Hello Experts!
I´m trying to upload a flat file data to an infocube and appears an error which diagnosis is:an error ocurred in record 1 during execution of conversion exit CONVERSION_EXIT_PERI6_INPUT for field CALMONTH.
Procedure: Check That the record where the error ocurred has the correct format , and correct it accordingly.
The characteristics in this fields (CALMONTH) are:
- Data Type: numc-character string with only digits.
- Length: 6
- Convers.rout. PERI6
- Output Length 7
I hope You can help me soon.
Thank you!

Hi Eduardo Vergara,
You just have to make sure the 0CALMONTH format is exactly the same. We have to match the format in the both columns. So in DataSource/Trans.Structure File CALMONTH change the Type to Numc and length o 6 . This is our problem but the tip is to match the proprieties.

Alberto.

Hello Lars,
refering to OSS 84510 SAP does not allow error messages in this environment. However, to find out if you are in a F4- context you can use the kernel function 'DY_GET_DYNPRO_EVENT'
data: event(3).
"check if we are in F4 environment
call 'DY_GET_DYNPRO_EVENT' id 'EVENT' field event.
if sy-subrc <> 0 or ( event <> 'PAI'
