Appending leading zeros to material number

Hi,
I want to form a object key for material number. so i need to append leading zeros to material number. but i am getting "TYPE CONFLICT" shot dump in FM 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL'.
The following code is giving the dump.
data: wa_object(18) type c.
wa_object = '100301010'. "Material No
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
    INPUT         = wa_object
    IMPORTING
   OUTPUT        = wa_object.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
    OBJECTKEY              = wa_object
    OBJECTTABLE            = 'MARA'
    CLASSNUM               = 'FINISHED_MATERIAL'
    CLASSTYPE              = '001'
    KEYDATE                = SY-DATUM
    UNVALUATED_CHARS       = ' '
    LANGUAGE               = SY-LANGU
TABLES
    ALLOCVALUESNUM         = IT_ALLOCVALUESNUM
    ALLOCVALUESCHAR        = IT_ALLOCVALUESCHAR
    ALLOCVALUESCURR        = IT_ALLOCVALUESCURR
    RETURN                 = IT_RETURN
but if I hard code to 18 characters, the following code is working fine:
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
    OBJECTKEY              = '0000000000100301010'
    OBJECTTABLE            = 'MARA'
    CLASSNUM               = 'FINISHED_MATERIAL'
    CLASSTYPE              = '001'
    KEYDATE                = SY-DATUM
    UNVALUATED_CHARS       = ' '
    LANGUAGE               = SY-LANGU

    ALLOCVALUESCURR        = IT_ALLOCVALUESCURR
    RETURN                 = IT_RETURN
Please tell me how to rectify the short dump which uses Conversion_exit_alpha_input.
Thanks .

Hi Shankar,
When ever u pass parameters to any function module the type of parameters must match with the ones defined in function module. Here u defined ur object key like this
data: wa_object(18) type c.(18 digits). But the in function module it referenced with BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECT (50 digits). So u have to define the variable with BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECT.
Check this solution. It will work for u.
data: wa_object(18) type c,
           wa_object1 TYPE BAPI1003_KEY-OBJECT.
wa_object = '100301010'. "Material No
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = wa_object
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = wa_object.
wa_object1 = wa_object.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
OBJECTKEY = wa_object1
OBJECTTABLE = 'MARA'
CLASSNUM = 'FINISHED_MATERIAL'
CLASSTYPE = '001'
KEYDATE = SY-DATUM
UNVALUATED_CHARS = ' '
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
TABLES
ALLOCVALUESNUM = IT_ALLOCVALUESNUM
ALLOCVALUESCHAR = IT_ALLOCVALUESCHAR
ALLOCVALUESCURR = IT_ALLOCVALUESCURR
RETURN = IT_RETURN

Leading zero for a character datatype field in ALV display

I have field access sequence value(VAKEY) which is concatenated by sales org, distibution chnl and division
(0100/01/01). the field is populating proprerly in internal tables, but in ALV display it is displaying as 100/01/01. How to consider leading zero in ALV for a CHAR datatype field.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Srnii,
You can use the below sample statement

How to append leading zeros

Dear Friends,
In a transparent table xyz I have one field 'Bill No.' which is of character type & length 10. when I insert data in this table the value for this field gets stored as '0000000001'.
I am facing a problem when the user is giving value of Bill No. as '1'. It doesn't pick the data because the corresponding value in my table is '0000000001'.
Once I have used the function CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT' to remove the leading zeros but here I have to append the leading zeros.
How to overcome this pls advise.
Regards,
Alok.

Hi,
Use the following FM:
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT converts any number into a string fill with zeroes, with the number at the extreme right
Example:
input = 123
output = 0000000000000...000000000000123
Hope this helps.
Reward if helpful.

Sipra

Leading zeros in dynamic text fields

I have a dynamic text field that indicates the degree of
rotation of a knob. I need the display to have three digits showing
at all times. This means I need leading zeros from 0 to 99. ie,
000, 001, 002, etc.
Is there a way to do this numerically or do I have to change
the numbers to strings and concatenate??
Thanks,

Yes, for the most part only strings can start with leading
zeros.
You might run into some troubles because Flash treats a
leading zero as a sign that a number is octal, base-8.
So if you were planning on using Number() to cast your values
into numbers, don't! Instead use parseInt(someString,10).

Leading zeroes in a Numeric Field, Don't want.

I have a Numeric Field set up to hold 9 numbers for a zip code using Display Pattern 999999999.
When I only put in 5 numbers I get leading zeroes.
I only want to display the numbers I put in.
Sometimes I will have zip code of 9 numbers and other times only 5.
What am i missing?
Thank you.

Thank you, it worked. I used the TextField and set up the Display Pattern of all z's.
This way I'm able to enter the hyphen and the last 4 digits of the zip and if there is no extra 4 digits then the 5 zip code will appear without zeros.
Thanks again.

ALV: ADD leading ZEROs in a CHAR field

Hello Everybody!
I have a problem and I hope you can help me
What I have:
1. ALV (hier)
2. Char field 'DEBIT' type SAKNR.
3. Field catalog TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv,
   created by FUNCTION MODULE 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'.
The problem is: i need to show leading zeros in ALV.
For example: an account '07110000' (in the inner table) is shown as '7110000'.
What I've done:
1. ls_fieldcat-lzero = 'X'.
     ls_fieldcat-no_convext = 'X'.
2. CLEAR ls_fieldcat-ref_tabname.
     ls_fieldcat-lzero = 'X'.
( ls_fieldcat-ref_fieldname was clear after filling by the function module)
I'm realy waiting for your advice!

I've tried it, but it doesn't work:
    ls_fieldcat-outputlen = 8.
    ls_fieldcat-lzero = 'X'.
    ls_fieldcat-no_convext = 'X'.
    ls_fieldcat-ref_tabname = 'T599I'.
    ls_fieldcat-ref_fieldname = 'PARAM'.
    ls_fieldcat-datatype = 'NUMC'.
    ls_fieldcat-inttype = 'N'.

Need to show leading zeros in the number field when printed from RDF

We have a requirement to show leading zeros in the rdf output.
We cannot use a format mask to achieve the same as the length of the field is not fixed.
for ex if we have 0.68 then the same is printed in RDF as .68
we cannot use a format mask as the length of the field is not fixed.
we need to
Kindly suggest if any solution exists for the same.

the numbers after the decima can be anything..
it can range between 2 to 10 or more...
as told by you if we put the format as to_char(.68,'90.99') it shall give 0.68 but what for numbers like0.678,0.4567,0.765433 it will display only 2 digits after the decimal...
The requirement is to dispaly the number as it is ,only the zeroes before the decimal should stay intact..
we are not able to achieve this in rdf output..
if it is
0.678 then 0.678 shld be dispalyed
0.4567 then 0.4567
0.765433 then 0.765433
one format mask shld wrk for all the above..
we would not be changing the format mask for each number....

Is the ciolumn that you are inserting into ..declared as a number or is it a varchar2?
sql> create table t(
2    id number
3 );
Table created.
sql> insert into t values (0001);
1 row created.
sql> insert into t values(0002);
1 row created.
sql> commit;
Commit complete.
sql> select * from t;
        ID
         1
         2If you declare it as a varchar2...
sql> create table t(
2    id varchar2(10));
Table created.
sql> insert into t values ('0001');
1 row created.
sql> insert into t values ('0002');
1 row created.
sql> commit;
Commit complete.
sql> select * from t;
ID
0001
0002But why do you want to store the values appended with leading zero's in your table..???

Leading Zeros in the Numeric Field

I am working with accounting numbers that may start with zero (0). After this information is inputted and you tab or hit return the leading zero is removed and goes to the first numberic digit. How can I make the leading zero display?
Thanks,

Change the display format to show all numbers ('9,999,999.99')and not to supress the leading zero (z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99').
More information about the display format is contained in the 'Scripting Reference' under LiveCycle Designer's 'Help' menu option.

Hi!
Try out this formatting option, while printing the variable: F0
For example:
&KNA1-UMSAT& -> 700.00
&KNA1-UMSAT(F*)& -> **700.00
&KNA1-UMSAT(F0)& -> 00700.00
