Numbers validation functions

Former Member — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 08:27:20 GMT

Hi all.

I'm looking for a FM that checks if a number is a decimal format or an integer format.

If it's not possible, a FM that splits a number to its 2 different parts will do it also .. meaning input 523.12 will be splitted to 523 and 12.

Thanks in advance,

Rebeka

store ur number in a char string, then

use this check

if v_str cp '*.*'

if the condition is true then the number is in decimal format else its in integer format.

then for splitting use SPLIT keyword.

SPLIT v_str AT '.' into v_left v_right.

It's not correct cause in some of our international offices the decimals splitter is ',' (Germany, Switzerland and the like), meaning that 1,500,230.80 will be at these countries 1.500.230,80.

That's exactly the reason that I search for a std FM.

Thanks,

Well i think fms must be there but i'm not sure if they would take care of currency specific settings and split accordingly.

Hi,

SPLIT will only work in case on character or string type

try these codes:

Parameters: P_Num type p decimals 2 default '502.53'.

data:w_num type i.

W_num = p_num mod 1.

If w_num is '0' entered number has no decimal part.

else w_num = 53.(decimal part)

I am not 100% clear on your requirement, but does using the MOD function supply the right answer?

DATA:
  g_1(16)     TYPE p DECIMALS 9 VALUE '1500000.1',
  g_2(16)     TYPE p DECIMALS 9.


g_2 = g_1 MOD 1.

IF g_2 NE 0.
  WRITE 'decimal'.
ELSE.
  WRITE 'int'.
ENDIF.

Sorry, just noticed that Gunpreet had posted a similar solution.
