check field

Former Member — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 17:11:23 GMT

How can I check if a field contains only numbers char3. I have used the 'CO' I just do not work well.

This example returns me false.

data : d_num(3) value '117'.

CONSTANTS:

c_num(10) VALUE '0123456789'.

d_num CO c_num return false

Is working in my system.

Maybe you are using checking a number that doesn't fill the whole lenght.

In that case just add space to the check

This example returns false

DATA : d_num(3) VALUE '17'.

CONSTANTS:
c_num(10) VALUE '0123456789'.

IF d_num CO c_num.
  WRITE 'X'.
ENDIF.

This example returns true

DATA : d_num(3) VALUE '17'.

CONSTANTS:
c_num(11) VALUE '0123456789 '.

IF d_num CO c_num.
  WRITE 'X'.
ENDIF.

Hi,

I am getting it as true in my system.

you may think of using CA instead of CO like this:

IF d_num CA c_num.
  WRITE 'X'.
ENDIF.

Try using type as i and not character. By default it takes type characher.
