Master data error due to ALPHA

[Former Member]

hello All,

We have scenario where i have CHAR1 created as CHAR20 which has a text master data to the same and no 'ALPHA' conversion. there is a flag set as compounding

In transaction DSO, we write a routine to assign the key for CHAR1 so that in reports it should be able to read both key and text as CHAR1 is a text MD.

MD looks like

FLAG	CHAR1	0TXTMD
P	10041	ABC
E	10041 - DISREGARD	ABC - DISREGARD

in the routine

If flag = P, CHAR1 = MAT_ID

(MAT_ID = 10041)

else concatenate MAT_ID 'DISREGARD' into CHAR1 separated by '-'.

now this is throwing error while activation, as CHAR1 is getting value as 00000010041 and 00000010041 - DISREGARD, plus with some changes i even manage to activate but unable to read the text from master data in the reports.

Please suggest how can i get this issue resolved for concatenation, leading zeros and getting the text in reports.

Thanks!

HI,

If it is the master data object click the short,medium,long text under text tab.

for the particular record you will get the record with text (long,short,medium)

try the above suggestion.

Thanks,

Phani.
