Documentation

Definition

The conversion indicator is used for output control.

Available conversions:
'01' display leading zeros (for P0000-PERID for example)
'02' concatenate with next field
'03' hide country dependent editing of personnel ID (for P0002-PERID
for example)

Note that conversion '03' is only available for upward compatibility. SAP no longer recommends that you use this conversion. You can avoid this conversion and attain better results by using a suitable field selection.
