Documentation
Definition
Here you enter the name of a special conversion routine. During the data transfer, the system calls the corresponding function module to accept the conversion of the sender field value or receiver field value. In most cases it is not possible to convert the receiver field value. The function module is called CONVERSION_EXIT_&_INPUT bzw. CONVERSION_EXIT_&_OUTPUT, where the ampersand (&) represents the name of the conversion routine. The most widely used conversion routine is "ALPHA". This routine is used for fields of the type "C". It has the following effect: If the content of the field is purely numerical, the field is filled with leading zeros. Other conversion routines are designed for central R/3 organizational concepts, such as the project number. The name of the conversion routine is stored in the ABAP Dictionary under the corresponding domain of that organizational concept.
For special conversions, you can also create your own conversion routines, which you can then call using this mechanism.
The conversion is integrated in the rule processing as follows:
- The sender field values are converted.
- The conditions are checked.
- The receiver field is filled.
- The receiver field is converted.
