add 0's

How to fill a char variable with 0's to the right?

For example:

v = 'abc'.

And if the length of data element is 8 i would like :

v = 'abc00000'

Thanks

Hi,

Try to use the SHIFT LEFT and add the zeroes.

Check the ABAPDOCU on the same.

Try this code:

data: V_CHAR(8) type C,

IN_VAR type I.

constants:C_LEN type N value '8',

C_ZERO type N value '0'.

**

V_CHAR = 'abc'.

IN_VAR = strlen( V_CHAR ).

while IN_VAR <> C_LEN.

V_CHAR+IN_VAR(1) = C_ZERO.

IN_VAR = IN_VAR + 1.

endwhile.

Award points if this helps.

use the following statement

concatenate v '00000000' into v.

Hi

The length is not fix.

[Former Member]

For example if the length of data element is 8 then concatenate V with 8 zeros.

if the lengh is not constant then build the zero string and concatenate with V .

Hi,

Try

Translate v using ' 0'.

data v(8) type c.

v = 'abc'.

Translate v using ' 0'.

write v.

[valter_oliveira]

DATA: lenght TYPE i.
DATA: diff TYPE i.

lenght = strlen( v ).
diff = 8 - lenght.

DO diff TIMES.
  CONCATENATE v '0' INTO v.
ENDDO.
