CONV – Conversion Operator

 Conversion operation- CONV

Conversion Operator CONV – Converts the argument data to the data type specified using type &  creates the desired result.Let’s use CONV operator in various scenarios.

Scenario 1:  The method CONVERT_TO has an importing parameter SOURCE whose data type is STRING.

---

In our example LV_CHAR is character type and we can;t simply pass it in the method call, resulting compile time error.

---

The general approach is to assign the character data to a string type variable and pass it in the method call, which works perfectly fine.

---

OUTPUT:

---

In stead of doing a two step process, we can directly use the CONV operator, which accepts the character data and converts it to the string.

OUTPUT:

---

Scenario:2 

Here the CONV operator first converts the SQUAREROOT result into integer and then it is added. 

---

OUTPUT:

---

Scenario:3 – Here we have a method that accepts an importing table, but in the method call we assign a table type which is little different.

---

Resulting compilation time error as type incompatible. In such a case we can use CONV operator. We can make the use of # operand.
