SAP Functions

[Christoph4837]

Hi all experts,

Sorry, I don't know german language.

I would like to ask for some SAP functions.

a. convert the leading space to zeros at char field.
Example: a filed with ' 6' convert to '000006'.

b. Check the blank field.
Example: a field called wa_text = ' '.
at ABAP, I would like to check if wa_text = blank field.

Please advise the functions, thanks.

Hi Tim,

don't worry about the german language. english is also fine hopefully this board will also fully support english in the near future.

a. could be solved doing this:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.txt)

1. data: interim(7) type n.
2. data: yourfield(7) type c value '6'.
3. move yourfield to interim.
4. move interim to yourfield.
5.

yourfield should contain then '0000006'.

b. could be done like that, assuming wa_text is string or char.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.txt)

1. if wa_text is initial.
2. * do whatever
3. endif.
4.

to convert between leading zeros and none use function modules
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT-> leading zeros
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT -> no leading zeros
