Hi,

You can try the following:

data: password1 TYPE c LENGTH 10 VALUE 'gfertw1',

password2 TYPE c LENGTH 10 VALUE 'G001',

password3 TYPE c LENGTH 10 VALUE 'gfer=w1',

lv_char TYPE c LENGTH 37,

lv_len TYPE n.

CONCATENATE sy-abcde '0123456789' INTO lv_char SEPARATED BY ' '.

TRANSLATE password1 TO UPPER CASE.

CONDENSE password2.

if password1 CO lv_char .

write:/ 'success1'.

else.

write:/ 'error1'.

endif.

if password2 CO lv_char.

write:/ 'success2'.

else.

write:/ 'error2'.

endif.

if password3 CO lv_char.

write:/ 'success3'.

else.

write:/ 'error3'.

endif.

2.password length should be greater than 6.

lv_len = strlen( password1 ).

if lv_len <= 6.

"error

endif.
