SAP Smartforms/SAPscript Smartforms Formatting Following are the few useful formatting options: Offset: N left-most characters of the symbol value will not be displayed. If symbol has the value 123456789, the following will be displayed: &symbol& -> 123456789 &symbol+3& -> 456789 &symbol+7& -> 89 &symbol+12& -> &symbol+0& -> 123456789   Output Length To define how many character positions should be copied from the value. If symbol has the value 123456789. &symbol(3)& -> 123 &symbol(7)& -> 1234567  The SYST-UNAME field contains the logon name of a user called Einstein. The Dictionary entry for this field contains an output length of 12. &SYST-UNAME&… -> Einstein… &SYST-UNAME(9)&… -> Einstein … &SYST-UNAME(*)&… -> Einstein … Omitting the Leading Sign The S option can be used to ensure that the value is formatted without the sign.

SAP ABAP: Adding leading zero to char or string.

Here are the three ways to add leading zeros to a char or string. 1). Using numeric and character field with the same length. DATA: lv_Belnr(10) TYPE C VALUE '48',             lv_Num(10)   TYPE N. lv_Num =  lv_Belnr. ADD 1 TO  lv_Num. lv_Belnr  = lv_Num . WRITE  lv_Belnr. 2). Using FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT. DATA: lv_Belnr(10) TYPE C VALUE '48'.   ADD 1 TO lv_Belnr.   CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'            EXPORTING                    INPUT  = lv_Belnr                      IMPORTING                    OUTPUT = lv_Belnr.  3). Using UNPACK.  DATA: lv_Belnr(10) TYPE C VALUE '48'. ADD 1 TO lv_Belnr. UNPACK lv_Belnr TO lv_Belnr. That's all. Mabuhay!
