alpha conversion is used to avoid Data inconsistency. it will maintain zeros on left hand side of data when data length is less than the info object length.
ex: customer length is 6.but data is 101.then it will maintain 000101.
alpha conversion will work for data type as a numeric characteristics automatically.
it will not work for alpha numeric keys {c101,2as,m22o...}
