Documentation
Definition
You can convert a field into another field using this routine. By doing so, fields relevant for the user can be reproduced internally onto technincal fields. For example, the fields cost center, activity type, internal order and project in the controlling area (table CCSS) are reproduced to the technical field object number.
The name of the target field in which the coversion will take place, must be entered in the 'Determining field' field.
The rountine must be contained in the formpool which is stored in table T804A. The rountine has the following transfer parameters:
TABLES TAB_IN TAB_OUT
--> TAB Current table from which is read
--> CNV_FLD1_MIN From value of 1 conversion parameters
--> CNV_FLD1_MAX To value of 1 conversion parameters
--> CNV_FLD2_MIN From value of 2 conversion parameters
--> CNV_FLD2_MAX To value of 2 conversion parameters
--> CNV_FLD3_MIN From value of 3 conversion parameters
--> CNV_FLD3_MAX To value of 3 conversion parameters
The conversion parameters are optional.
TAB_IN is an internal RANGES table that is filled with the values of the field to be converted when the routine is called up. The conversion routine must fill the RANGES table TAB_OUT with the converted values.
If a conversion routine has been specified, a fill routine must also be specified. The fill routine must carry out the appropriate return conversion. The Report Writer calls up the conversion routine before reading the database table. For every data record read, the fill routine is called up in order to return the conversion of the field used in the report.
