How to add spaces

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Please tell me the way to convert MATNR into 18 chars if less than 18.

means

MATNR = 'abcde' to MATNR = 'abcse '.

it is necessary for READ_TEXT with object as 'MVKE' .

Hi,

Use this Function Module ' CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT ' to convert the Matnr 18 char length from less than 18 char length.

Revert back if you need more details.

Use 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT' to add zeroes to material to make total length material = 18.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

input = l_matnr

IMPORTING

output = l_matnr.

If material is alphanumeric, there is no need to add zeroes and make it of length 18. It will work as it is.

Hi,

Use the FMs.

CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT

CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT

CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT FM converts the material number to internal format.

Eg.

matnr = 1410 then it converts to internal

matnr = 000000000000001410.

if matnr = R100004 then it converts

matnr = R100004.
