Checking variables are fitting to data element

Hi,

I'm working on a migration tool where I'm reading data from a file and converting these variables in a correct format.

Is there a function module who can check a variable and an other variable from a DDIC data type and can just check if the conversion is possible?

For exemple:

Case1

-----------

Var1 = 'ABCDEFGH'

Var2 TYPE C(4)

=> This should give an error that it's not possible

Case2

-----------

Var1 = 'ABCDEFGH'

Var2 TYPE String

=> OK

Case3

-----------

Var1 = 'ABCDEFGH'

Var2 TYPE I

=> This should give an error that it's not possible

Kind regards

You can put below piece of code in your logic.

TRY.

var1 = var2.

CATCH cx_sy_conversion_error.

"Conversion not possible

ENDTRY.
