Removing Leading Zeros

Hi Friends,
I need to delete leading zeros from material while loading to ODS and have tried followings options:
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT
Shift Variable LEFT deleting leading zeroes
Both the options did not work in my case. I need to delete leading zeros from material. For example if source has material as "00000000002213749R" I was to convert it as "2213749R".
Following is the code I am using in transformation:
DATA: LV_MATNR(18) TYPE C.
LV_MATNR = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/Z9AMATNR.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
     EXPORTING
          INPUT = LV_MATNR
     IMPORTING
          OUTPUT = LV_MATNR.
     RESULT = LV_MATNR.
Also I tried the following code for SHIFT:
DATA: LV_MATNR(18) TYPE C.
LV_MATNR = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/Z9AMATNR.
SHIFT LV_MATNR LEFT deleting leading zeroes
RESULT = LV_MATNR.
I tried both the option but could not get the leading zeros deleted. Can some one let me know whats wrong with the code, or is there any other option i can try for?
Thanks,
Manmit

Hi amitesh,
Please try this code
DATA: LV_MATNR(18) TYPE C.
LV_MATNR = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/Z9AMATNR.
SHIFT LV_MATNR LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
RESULT = LV_MATNR.
Hope this will help u.....

Yuvaraj.

Remove Leading zeros for Material in Transformation

Hi Experts,
I'm using DTP first time. I don't have much exp on DTP & Transformations.
I'm creating infocube with some objects. I want to remove leading zeros for zmaterial.
In 3.x writen update routines as fallows:
data: zmat(18) type c.
zmat = COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZMAT.
shift zmat left deleting leading '0'.
result value of the routine
RESULT = zmat.
I'm confusing in Transfermation where to write this routines.
I'm writing in Transformation as fallows:
data: zmat(18) type c.
zmat = SOURCE_FIELDS-/BIC/ZMAT.
shift zmat left deleting leading '0'.
RESULT = zmat.
But it's getting remove zero's.
Anybody suggest on this.
Siri

Dear Sir,
No confusion at all.
Just double click on the Target Infoobjct i,e Material object in Transformation, you will see a wizard popping up.
There you will see a option called "RULE TYPE" and the default value will be "Direct Assignment". In the same check box click on the drop down icon and select "Routine".
The moment you select the routine option, it will open up ABAP workspace where in you can write your routine and get the desired result.
Hope it helps.

Report Builder: output to Excel removes leading zeros

I'm trying to use the Report Builder to output a numeric
field to EXCEL , but on numbers that start with zero EXCEL removes
the leading zero's. ex. 00123 becomes 123.
Is there something that I can put in the expression builder
on the field to overcome this.
I've tried concatonating a single quote on the front of the
field but the single quote shows up on the output. I've tried this
on both the SQL and on the expression builder.
I've read on some of the posts where people have tried using
'mso-number-format:"\@'" within a TD tag but I can't seem to get
the syntax right inside the Expression Builder.
Has anybody got any suggestions?

Excel will remove leading zeros in a numeric field because it is treating the column as numeric. Putting a ' in front of the number forces Excel to treat the column as text.

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.

Removing leading zeros in a column

Hi,
I would like to remove leading zeros of a column in a table. My Questions :
1. Is it possible?
2. Where is it better to truncate, in RFC or Web Dynpro?.
3. If Possible, How can I do that.
I appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Sunita.

Hi Sunita,
Please specify the datatype of the column that contains leading zeros, because if the data type of the column is integer then the leading zeros are automatically taken care.
If your RFC return you int and you are assigning it to a String then the leading zeros will appear.
For example, see the below simple ABAP Program. Just copy and execute it. You will see the difference.
data: a type mara-matnr,
str type string.
select single matnr from mara into a.
write a.
str = a.
write / str.
Hope it helps you.

XmltoQuery removing leading zero

Hi,
I have a function that takes in a raw xml and covert to query. The problem is any leading zeroes are gone. For example, 000123 will become 123. Is there any way or function in CF that will stop from removing leading zeroes?
Thanks,

Oh, sorry. It's not the XML to Query problem but it's the cfquery problem. When I cfdump the data, it shows 000123, but when I use <cfquery> to insert the data into a dabase, it strips the leading zeroes and in the db table it shows only 123. Is there a function or something to prevent this?
<cfoutput query="get_xml_data">
<cfquery name="test" datasource="db">
INSERT INTO table (id, name)
VALUES (#get_xml_data.id#, #get_xml_data.name#)
</cfquery>
</cfoutput>

Removing Leading Zeroes in Location value

HI Gurus,
I am having some trouble in releasing demand plan to SNP. On the demand planning side, we are using standard characteristic 9ALOCATION for storing location values. When I release demand plan (using Location characteristic - 9ALOCATION) to SNP, I get a message saying 'Location 00000000000000003000 does not exist'. But, I have location '3000' assigned to the active model in APO system.
I believe this issue is arising because, the system is storing leading zeroes in Location value '3000' on Demand Planning side. I know that there is customization setting (SPRO-> APO -> Master data -> Product -> specify output format) to prevent leading zeroes from being added to product number. But I don't see a similar setting for Location and moreover I am using 9ALOCATION and not 9ALOCNO.
So, how can I remove leading zeroes in the values of 9ALOCATION.
Any help/comments are appreciated.
Thanks,
Shiv.

I found a solution to this problem. Unlike 9ALOCNO, Characteristic '9ALOCATION' has Alpha conversion routine. So this conversion routine fills up the leading zeros. I removed Alpha conversion routine from the 9ALOCATION in RSA1 and it works fine now.

Remove leading zeros in query

Hi Gurus,
I have a alpha routine in update rule which will add leading zeros in omaterial,but now I want to display 0material in the report without leading zeros. How to do this ?
Thanks
Liza

Easiest thing is remove the conversion routine in 0material, if you dont want leading zeros.
Or
In update rules, use truncate statement to remove leading zeros.

Remove leading zeros in report

Hi all,
I do a clasical reoporting. Data in the internal table numeric types. But when writing in the report, is appearing as 000056 etc. I want to remove this leading zeros in the report output. Any helps?
Regards,

Hi Michael,
     u can use the function module for removing leading zeros
      CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT (adding zeros)
      CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT (removing zeros)

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

To remove leading zeros

hi,
how to remove leading zeros. can anyone suggest

Hi ,
U can either use this function module also
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT
or
SHIFT <yourField> LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'
or
try NO-ZERO option of WRITE statement
or
Another way is to create another variable of type I and assign the value into it
example:
DATA: L_NUMC(08) TYPE N.
DATA: L_INT TYPE I.
L_NUMC = '00000018'.
L_INT = L_NUMC.
Result will be = 18.
Hope this helps

How to remove Leading zeros from MATNR "at Database Level"

Hi,
When we create a material in MM01 , we can either create material as Internal Material No. or External Material No. (By Explicitly entering a material No.)
Our requirement is that: When we create an Internal Material , there should NOT be any Leading Zeros in MATNR.
and for External Material No. , Leading Zeros Should be there. (In Database)
1) Now , we can create the No. Range for material in such a way that it will allow only AlphaNumeric entries for Internal Material , and Only Numeric Entries for External Material No.
This should slove the Purpose.
But According to the Client's requirement , Material No can be Numeric OR Alphanumeric for Internal As well as External Material No.
2) We can Add or Remove leading zeros from MATNR at application level. i.e. we can find some BADI / Enhancement where we will Use the Conversion FM (CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT or CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT) and remove Leading Zeros from MATNR. But these changes will NOT reflect at Database Level , Because in MATNR Domain , there is a conversion Routine , That will Add Leading Zeros in MATNR While saving in the Database.
3) While Displaying the Material In SE11 , we can also set the "Display Format" as With leading Zeros OR Without Leading Zeros.
But we dont want to Just "Display" material with OR Without Leading Zeros. we want to actually create materials in that way.
What can we do , so that at Database Level our changes are Reflected.
Thanks and Regards,
Anand Gore
Edited by: anandgore on May 18, 2011 3:47 PM

That will Add Leading Zeros in MATNR While saving in the Database.
That is because you have it configured that way. You can configure the storage as you desire. The default is the behavior you are describing. You, or your functional analyst, need to review the documentation on the MM config settings for material master number storage.
Never use CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT for material conversion. Also keep in mind that the MATN1 functions have their own BADI for extended formatting...

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.....
