PE51_CHECKTAB - Conversion Tab strip

Question

Hi,
I want to pull the Contact no from PA0006 and put into Garnishment (PE51)form. This i can do it using PE51_CHECKTAB's tables and filed tab strip.
My problem is i need display specific format for contact no. i think we can do it thru conversio tab strip. but i do not know where we have to define this format.
if i'm not clear,please write me back.

I have defined a new conversion in FORM CONVERT-NATIO (include PCEDXPL0) when I wanted to print on a payslip short text of an organizational unit instead of it's numerical code. But it is a repair-you probably need an access key to modify an object. May be the following code will be helpful:
1. add your conversion in CASE statement (like mine between comments RMU).
[code]FORM CONVERT-NATIO USING VALUE($CONV) $FOUND.
  $FOUND = TRUE.
  CASE $CONV.
    WHEN 'Y1'. PERFORM CONVERT-Y1.
    WHEN 'Y2'. PERFORM CONVERT-Y2.
*RMU 2004-07-12
*#Zlecenie #DEVK908437 Renata Murat 2004-07-12 #INSERT
    WHEN 'Z1'. PERFORM convert-z1 USING fld_info.*#
*RMU
    WHEN OTHERS.
      $FOUND = FALSE.
  ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.[/code]
2. define a form with your conversion
[code]FORM convert-z1  USING fld_info TYPE tr_fld_info..
  DATA:  pos LIKE sy-index,
         feld16(16).
  TABLES: hrp1000.
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <strng1>.
  ASSIGN LOCAL COPY OF (fld_info-pname-strng) TO <strng1>.
  SELECT SINGLE * FROM hrp1000 WHERE plvar = '01'
                         AND otype = 'O'
                         AND objid = <strng1>
                         AND begda <= versc-fpend
                         AND endda >= versc-fpend.
  IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    fld_info-value = hrp1000-short.
  ELSE.
    CLEAR fld_info-value.
  ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                               " CONVERT-Z1[/code]
Note that you can use WRITE statement to format your output. As far as I remember (it was almost 3 years ago) the above change is everything you need to create new conversion.
