- ParentChild: The hierarchy has the SAP parent-child format.

Remove Leading Zeros
Removes all leading zeros using ALPHA conversion in the column NodeName. NodeName can then be used in a join condition with the corresponding Dimension-Key of a BWCube extraction.
Works also for compound InfoObjects. Example: 0CO_AREA (1000) and 0COSTCENTER (0000003100) will become 1000/3100.
