Validation for US quantity format

former_member609120 — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 18:42:31 GMT

Hi All,

In SAP Transaction VT02N, there is a tab for Additional Data. There is an input field 'Text 3' where the user will enter Gross Weight. I need to validate that the gross weight entered is in US Format.

The issue is that the input field is of type char where the user will enter a quantity.

US format is 123,456.000 i.e After the decimal 3 points and a comma after every 3 digits.

In case the value has 1 digit, 2 digits, 3 digits there is no comma. For 5 digits, 6 digits there will be 1 comma. For 7 digits, there will be 2 commas and so on.

I have already found the user exit.

Can someone suggest how should i validate that there is a comma after every 3 digits. Also input field should only contain '0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 , and . '

Thanks,

Vanessa

try HRCM_STRING_TO_AMOUNT_CONVERT to validate the input. If it's valid, write the number back to a string by preceding it with SET COUNTRY 'US' (don't forget to reset it right after the write), check that the result equals the initial input.

This would be a permanent and fool proof solution.

SELECT SINGLE dcpfm
        FROM usr01
        INTO lv_decf
        WHERE bname = sy-uname.

      IF lv_decf EQ space OR lv_decf EQ 'Y'.
        REPLACE ',' IN v_c WITH '.'.
      ENDIF.
