SAP 's been using these FM for a long time ( more than those 9 years and it works fine for them. (they use it in material numbers...and that's the core of MM). If I had different values, like you'r saying, I'd check what I'm doing wrong...

That is what I learnt.
We get different results if we test this FM in SE37 against testing in a program by giving an output value.

The FM works fine for sure.. It is used to convert material numbers (matnr).
IMO, the solution proposed by Ellie should work fine too.
BTW, whenever you test conversion_exit_... you can observe a long stream of 0's . That's because the FM is able to convert very large strings. If you move to the right in the result parameter, you'll get your value. (i.e.: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000453 when you apply the fm to 453. the leading zeroes are truncated deppending on the structure of the output variable - so if you specify a char(7) you'll get 0000453 in that variable).

Horacio,
I got your 3 options and Neal's option. Initially I thought that conversion_exit should work. But i tried it independently in SE37 and it did not.
After seeing your first option and other options of yours and Neal's option I decided to test it in the program (because you and Neal mentioned the same FM that I mentioned) by giving field names with values in it.
I tested it now and it worked. I did not want to do the append zeros or move from one field to another, if FM works fine.
Now this issue is resolved.

I gave you three different solutions that would work. Please be kind and at least evaluate them

I am trying the CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT and OUTPUT in SE37 individually by giving values.
let me try by passing on a defined field that has a value.

I used a where used and came up with the following:
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUTÂ = H_RETURN_TAB-FIELDVAL
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = G_BVBPAKOM_WA-PARNR.
MOVE G_BVBPAKOM_WA-PARNR TO G_BVBPAKOM_WA-KUNNR.
IE the returned to a numc 10
and then copied it to a char 10.
Have you tried that?
Neal

Hi,
I need to read texts from a quotation. I have quotation number of 7 digits and line item of 4 digits. Are there any FMs that I can use to pad them with the corresponding zeros so that i can use them in the READ_TEXT FM?
I thought that the CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT would work but it is coming up with lot more zeroes than the designated length 0f 10 for VBELN.
