Hi,

Only CHAR data type stores alpha numeric, remaining will not store char values.

So check whether value contains any char otherwise it would be numeric values.

Hi,

You can use the syntax Contains Not Any(NA) or Contains Only(CO) to check if a variable contains numeric values or if its alphanumeric.

Thanks

Please use SY-ABCDE to check for alphabets.

You can check for numbers using statement zvalue CO '0123456789'.

Please use F1 documentation to check on CO, CN and other optional phrases.
