Hi,

After using the &variable(F0)&,, move it to a variable of type n (numeric character). Hope this'll help.

I tried this for Invoice number &vbeln(F0)& but it is not working for me. What am i doing wrong? pls help!

In my case vbeln is a dictionary field of length 10. internally the value for the field is 0012345678 but it is displayed in the form as 12345678.

I tried multiple format options none work. please help asap. thanks.

Resolved by moving it to a variable of type n and formatted.

you can use

as:

&EKPO-MENGE(T)&

this will remove the comma

Hi,

&TKNUM(F0)&

This will fill the leading spaces with 0.

Hi Nithya,

Thanks for ur reply...

my shipment number tht i wanted to display is 0000001376.. TKNUM..

by using ur suggestion --> &TKNUM(F0).. with this zeros are placed at the required position (leading)

..which is why thanks for tht..but i have declared TKNUM as integer type only then i get leading zeros..& output as 0000001,376 & not as 0000001376..where comma should be avoided..any idea abt this????

create program lines inside your smartform and use FM, CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT which will pre-fix zero's.

close the thread once your question is answered.

Before Display UNPACK it to a variable of desired length and use that variable for display.

unppack doesnt work after the display of the text element in smartform,...are there any text formating options in smartform...??????? for providing leading zeros
