Use the function module 2054_TRANSLATE_2_UPPERCASE

Hi,

instead of

PARAMETERS: FNAME TYPE PAD_VORNA,

use

PARAMETERS: FNAME TYPE PAD_VORNA lower case

Because, by default, whatever you will put in parameter input it is initialy converted into UPPERCASE. So internaly it is always compairing with to UPPERCASE STRINGs and you got 'TRUE ' as output.

Check your code now

PARAMETERS: FNAME TYPE PAD_VORNA  lower case.

IF FNAME CA 'SY-ABCDE'.
    WRITE 'TRUE'.
ELSE.
  WRITE 'FALSE'.
ENDIF.

Hi Raja,

Here is a simple example

data :loc_var type string value 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'.

data :loc_test1 type string value 'MY NAME IS Raja'.

data :loc_test2 type string value 'MY NAME IS RAJA'.

if loc_test1 CA loc_var.

Message 'Small letters found' type 'I'..

endif.

if loc_test2 CA loc_var.

else.

Message 'Small letters not found' type 'I'.

endif.

Solution:

so the loc_var defines all variables in lower case and if any of the lowercase is found then we have the statement "if loc_test1 CA loc_var." as successful

Hope it helps

Regards

2 things

(1) There should not be space between words, if you pass 'RAJA NARAYANAN' to first statement also it will fail

(2) when you are passing thru parameter, write the parameter to different varaible and than check.

try this code

data : string type string.

PARAMETERS: FNAME TYPE PAD_VORNA.

START-OF-SELECTION.

translate fname to upper case.

string = fname.

*example FNAME value is 'RAJA NARAYANAN' all CAPS letters.

IF string CO SY-ABCDE. WRITE 'TRUE'. ELSE. WRITE 'FALSE'. ENDIF.

Hi,

I think FALSE is coming in second case due to a sapce in between the name.

Thanks

the 'CO' operand can not work! it is sensible bewteen capitalization and lower.

you can try this

DATA:l_letter,

position TYPE i,

length TYPE i,

upper_counts TYPE i,

lower_counts TYPE i.

length = STRLEN( fname ).

DO length TIMES.

l_letter = fname+position(1).

IF l_letter >= 'A' AND

l_letter <= 'Z'.

upper_counts = upper_counts + 1.

ELSEIF l_letter >= 'a' AND

l_letter <= 'z'.

lower_counts = lower_counts + 1.

ENDIF.

position = position + 1.

ENDDO.

IF upper_counts = length.

WRITE 'TRUE'.

ELSEIF lower_counts = length.

WRITE 'FALSE'.

ENDIF.

Hi....all

Thanks for your replies.....

i should not go for do loop for my scenario....i tried with do loop before itself and i got the answer.... but my client requirement is i have to use CO or CN like this string operators in IF..ENDIF. statements... and not in loop..

DATA STR TYPE STRING.

PARAMETERS: FNAME TYPE PAD_VORNA lower case.

str = fname.

IF STR CA 'SY-ABCDE'.

WRITE 'TRUE'.

ELSE.

WRITE 'FALSE'.

ENDIF.

i also tried with this statement... but... still i need some help....

if i enter in FNAME like this 'abc123#9'. i should get errors....

the FNAME should only accept character with only CAPS and not in small letters and also without any special charaters....

Please help.....me

Regards

Raja

Check the code properly....... there will be no ' ' with SY-ABCDE and follow the RULE OF ENGAGEMENT regarding use of words in forum. I have read it and worked it out in my system.
