UPGRADE: change in functionality in Sort statement in ECC6

Former Member — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 06:05:17 GMT

hi,

i have a alphanumeric field of length 3. In 4.6c sytem when i SORT my internal table i used to get first characters and then numeric values Eg. A12,B21,123,234. But in my ECC6.0 system when i SORT my internal table i get numeric values first and then characters Eg. 123,234,A12,B21.

I want to retain the same functionality as in 4.6c system for my SORTING logic.

please advice..

Joyjit Ghosh ,

the descending addition gives me the output in the sequence B21,A12,234,123.
