Purpose:
To add characters before or after a string based on parameters passed.
Liquid UI Code:
// SAPLSMTR_NAVIGATION.E0100.sjs
// Remove blank spaces
String.prototype.trim=function(){return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,'');}
const PADDING_LEFT = 0;
const PADDING_RIGHT = 1;
// Function to add characters before or after the source based on the parameters
function padString(source,length,direction,character) {
var loop;
var output = "";
var sourceLength = 0;
if (typeof(source) != 'string'){
source = source.toString();
}
set('V[z_source]',source.trim());
if(z_source) {
sourceLength = z_source.length;
}
switch(direction) {
case PADDING_LEFT:
for(loop = 0; loop < (length - sourceLength); loop++) {
output += character;
}
output = output + z_source;
break;
case PADDING_RIGHT:
for(loop = 0; loop < (length - sourceLength); loop++) {
output += character;
}
output = z_source + output;
break;
}
return output;
}
// Function to return the padded value based on the character value passed
function padValueWithChar(param){
z_temp = padString(z_value,10,0,param.mychar);
set('V[z_padded_value]','&V[z_temp]');
return;
}
// User Interface
clearscreen();
inputfield([1,0], "Enter Value", [1,16], {"size":10, "name":"z_value"});
inputfield([2,0], "After Padding", [2,16], {"size":10, "name":"z_padded_value", "readonly":true});
pushbutton([3,0], "Pad Value", {"process":padValueWithChar, "using":{"mychar":"0"}});
