getVariableValueExt/setFilter cannot handle 0VERSION?

Hi all,

I am trying to use the variable value of 0P_VERS of infoobject 0VERSION as a filter for a datasource using the scripting:

DS_2.setFilter("0VERSION", DS_1.getVariableValueExt("0P_VERS"));

0VERSION and 0P_VERS are the standard business content objects, 0VERSION has ALPHA conversion enabled.

This works fine when the value is '101' or '102'  etc.,

When the value is '1' ,  it doesnot work since the setFilter expects '001' (tested by hardcoding DS_2.setFilter("0VERSION", "001"))), whereas the getVariableValueExt receives a '1'.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Best regards,

Arwold
