Truncate leading zeros

Hi,
    How to truncate the leading zeros of a field?
    e.g:  if the value is '000000000080004040', it should like '80004040'.

Hi
pls use the fm CONVERSION_EXIT
like
Use this code for adding leading zeros for a particular field.
i have used for p_kunnr to suppress zeros replace and use ur variable
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
input = p_kunnr
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = p_kunnr.
Use this code for removing leading zeros for a particular field.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
EXPORTING
input = p_kunnr
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = p_kunnr.
regards

  • IR truncating leading zeros in my popup window report

    Hello,
    I am using IR_columnname, for one of the columns in my report which is a popup window report.
    My problem is that IR_column search filter in my popup window is truncating the leading zeros.
    I am getting the value but it is truncating the leading zeros.
    like say if the deptno is something like 020 or 0020 in the parent window.
    the IR_columnname value is taking '20' (its truncating leading zeros) with this filter its not dispalying the result in my popup window.
    can anyone help me out with this.
    thanks.

    How are you passing values to the IR filter? There could be a possibility that you source logic is truncating the leading zeros.
    Thanks,

  • Truncating leading zeros for the data

    hi ,
      I am doing a conversion project from oracle source system(DB2) to BI system. I have a situation here:
      I am extracting material numbers from source system(DB2) into a ZXXXX characteristic and in the transfer structure i checked the conversion as well and for infoobject ZXXXX, i am using ALPHA conversion. but the data i get is truncating material numbers. For example, 050302 is coming as 50302 and truncating leading zero. I am not sure what needs to be done here.
    Please advise..
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi J Dorson,
    This is the expected bahaviour if your InfoObject is configured to have ALPHA conversion. If the zero's in front of the material number is needed, then turn-off ALPHA conversion in your InfoObject (e.g. by removing the conversion exit).

  • Truncating Leading Zeros & Displaying Decimal Positions in a Webdynpro

    Hi All,
    I am new to webdynpro and assigned with some issues in webdynpro application, the issues goes like this. i  already have a webdynpro application where in i am trying to display a PO as in transaction ME23 with Header and Line Items, In Line Items, i want to Truncate Leading Zeros for material Number & Item Numbers. In the net price i want to display decimal values even if our price don’t have any decimal value. For Example if the net price is 33.33 then i am able to see the value as 33.33. If it’s 33.00 then i am able to see values only as 33. I want to see the exact value as 33.00. Let us know how to over come those issues. 
    Thanks in advance,
    With Best Regards,

    Hi Santhosh,
    I failed while executing the steps you mentioned, kindly look into below description for more understanding.
    We have an issue like the decimal positions are truncated when the value of decimal places are Zero. For Example if the net price is 99.98 then i am able to see the value as 99.98. If it’s 99.00 then i am able to see values only as 99. I want to see the exact value as 99.00. The values are populated from an RFC Table, which is coming from a Standard BAPI.  I find in the implementation, the attributes uses a method called bindText() available in com.sap.tc.webndypro.clientserver.uielip.standard.api.IWDtextview.  Below is the piece of code,
    com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.uielib.standard.api.IWDTextView NetPrice_editor
    = (com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.uielib.standard.api.IWDTextView)
    wdAlterEgo.createElement(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.uielib.standard.api.IWDTextView.class, "Net_Price_editor");
    NetPrice_editor.setHAlign(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.uielib.standard.api.WDInputFieldAlignment.valueOf("left"));
    NetPrice_editor.setWrapping(true);
    NetPrice_editor.bindText("bapi_po_getdetail_input.Output.Po_Items.Net_Price");
    NetPrice.setTableCellEditor(_Net_Price_editor);
    Table.addColumn(Net_Price);
    I can see from R/3 back end the values coming with decimal values even if the decimal positions are null. Any suggestions will be very helpful.

  • Truncating Leading Zeroes

    Hi,
    What is the best method to truncate the leading zeroes of an alphanumeric data item? Is there an expression editor function that could do this?
    I have come up with a logic involving 3 - 4 actions that could do this for a specific data item. The problem is I have got about 5 different data items in the same transaction that need leading zeroes truncated. Whats the best thing to do here?
    Do I need to build a custom action or expression editor function?
    Regards,
    V M.

    Well, there are equivilants in every database. I think Oracle has something like LTRIM(value, '0')
    If your application doesn't use any databases and you are on 12.0 + you could estabish a connection to the neweaver db.
    You could also look into and xsl solution using the XSL Transformation action.
    I often do this to create/format lists for query filters or similar tasks.
    For some background this issue often comes up when pulling data from standard SAP interfaces. In sap Order and Material numbers are typically trimmed automagically by the gui. But when pulling those data elements from sap you get the full monty. This is ok because you often need the full untrimmed value to use with other interfaces, but users still expect the values to be trimmed when displayed. There are a lot of solutions to this issue in regards to the front end (xsl, Javascript, SQL in cases where the data is stored/cached in a local database ) but it would be convienent to have this level of formatting built into the link editor. Maybe even something that accepts a regular expression?

  • Procedure truncating leading zeros

    Hello,
    I'm setting up sequences for my sample database, in my design I have my ID columns in this format Staff: S110001, Parents: P110001 etc.
    When I try to implement this in a sequence like:
    create sequence Pnt_seq1 start with 0001;
    insert into parents
    (parent_id, f_name, m_init, l_name, house_n, street, city, postcode)
    values
    (('P' || to_char(sysdate, 'yy')|| Pnt_seq1.nextval), 'Jim', 'I', 'Brown', 34, 'Barker St', 'Wrexham', 'LL11 8UH');
    It trims or truncates the leading zeros giving me P111 instead of P110001. Is there a way around this or am I better off changing my domain definitions/schema to start at P111001 or something?
    Thanks a lot
    Mike

    A sequence is always numeric, so leading zeros have no place
    Nothing is trimmed.
    If you want leading zeros in the code you posted use
    to_char(Pnt_seq1.nextval,'fm0009')

  • Coldfusion json truncates leading zeroes

    Hi All -
    I am using jquery jqgrid with Coldfusion. I have a cfc whose return format is JSON. I have a database column of type varchar, but it returns values which starts with zeroes. On displaying data, the leading zeroes are truncated. I verified in firebug, the JSON response itself is cutting off the leading zeroes.
    Any suggestions or thoughts on this?

    If you are using CF 9.0 there was a documented bug that has been fixed in Adobe® ColdFusion® 9.0 Update 1:
    ID
    Area
    Bug Description
    82706
    AJAX Plumbing
    When you use  serializeJSON or   deserializeJSON, data type conversion occurs  automatically. For example,   000001 is converted to numeric 1.
    I know that there are new bugs introduced with Updater 1 so it would probably be wise to get the ColdFusion 9.0.1 Cumulative Hot Fix 1 also. As always, test the updates before using in production.

  • SaveAsCSV() truncating leading zeros

    Hi
    We have used applet call saveAsCSV() and are experiencing the typical "leading zero" truncation since the value is being treated as numberic.
    I would like to know if there is any way of specifying certain fields as text other than inserting a character to force it to be a text field
    Thanks
    Deepa

    Hi Deepa
    This is actually a Microsoft Excel issue.  You cannot save a leading 0 in an csv file.
    I have tried doing this external to xMII and got to the conclusion that the file type CSV does not allow for leading zero's (I think this is the case with special characters in CSV files as well).
    Your best bet is to call a function to add leading zero's (something like a padding/stretch function) once you open the saved file.

  • Grid Download to Excel truncates leading zeros

    We are on tools 8.51. The download feature for a Grid now removes the leading zeros when the grid is downloaded to excel. Has anyone found a way to fix this issue ? Thanks in advance

    When you download from PS query, the output is created as a true binary xls file, but when you download from a grid in PT 8.51 the output file is html, even though the filename is ps.xls. You can open this file in a text editor.
    If you have all numeric data in a column, it will be stored as <td>nnnnnn</td> in the html file. if the column has mixed numeric and text data, it will be stored as <td>=&amp;quot;nnnnnn&amp;quot;</td>. The leading zeroes are still there in both cases, but when excel imports the first form it will convert the result to numeric, the second it will treat as text.
    Other than logging a case with Oracle, the only workaround I could think of would be to save the file to disk and run the macro directly against the html. Of course, this would likely be a major redesign.

  • Download to EXCEL - Problem with truncating leading zeros

    Hello Experts
    I have Reqs-
    When i download data into EXCEL some of the fields like PERNR lets say if the valus of the PERNR is 01000032 then in the excel it is displaying it as 1000032 or esle if a DATE field with value 02/03/2007 (obtained by concatenating MM / DD / YYYY) it is displaying in the excel as 2/3/2007.
    I dont want the truncating of zeros to happen.
    Any INPUT will be rewarded with points.

    Hi,
    Try to use this FM.
    There are two very important functional modules ,which are used to add zeroes(‘0’)  & Remove zeroes(‘0’)  from  numeric string input respectively.
    The functional module ‘CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT’ comes handy in this situation.           
    Another functional module ‘CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT’ is used to reverse the Operations performed by the above FM.
    Let us look up the first case.
    Function Module: CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT
    PARAMETER:
    Importing Parameter: Input   of  type ‘C’
    Exporting Parameter: Output of type ‘C’.
    This function module is use to add zeroes (‘0’), to the left of the  numeric string input ,after making the input  numeric string right justified .
    If the input string is non-numeric (including alphanumeric) , string is stored as left justified ,with blanks towards the right.
    If the string is numeric say  vehicle number , vlcvehicle-vhcle( 10 char)
    INPUT  :  ‘123456’              
    OUTPUT : ‘0000123456’
    Whereas if string is non-numeric
    INPUT :    ’ABCD’              
    OUTPUT:  ‘ABCD’.
    Hope this will solve your problem.

    We can use SHIFT LEFT command in this case.
    Eg: SHIFT LEFT <var> DELETING LEADING '0'.
    or FM: CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT

  • Cfselect with bind truncates leading zero

    Banging my head against this one. I have two cfselect menus using bind. The first one populates the second. It's working fine except for this one wrinkle: the second select menu gets populated with zip codes. If they have leading zeroes (e.g. 02842) the zero gets clipped. The datatype in MySQL is char(5).
    If I just throw a regular query on the data and dump it it comes back with the zeroes fine.
    Bug? Workaround?
    CF8 BTW.
    Thanks.

    Here is an example of related selects without using binds.  http://www.pathcom.com/~bracuk/code/RelatedSelects.htm
    It may or may not be appropriate for your situation.  I remember something on these forums a few years back about performance problems if you used this approach with too much data.

    I guess the Infoobj is FLOATING POINT. So its displaying that way.

  • 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.
