Generic value check

Former Member — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 15:19:43 GMT

Hi all,

I want to implement a generic value check. I have a table of name/value pairs (all chars) and I know, of which DDIC type the field is. So during runtime I do the following:

assign value to <value> casting type (rollname).

The thing is, that the assign doesn't throw any error, though the value is illegal for the DDIC type. I tested it with a date like '200612ab'.

So, the question is, is there any way to perform a value check, or do I have to implement that one of my own?

(I searched for cl_abap* classes, but couldn't find any proper).

Thx!

Nick

Hello Nicolas,

ABAP isn't type safe to domain value references if the data type referres to CHAR. Only a dynpro with user interaction will throw an error message on an illegal input.

There are function modules to retrieve the allowed values, e.g. DOMAIN_VALUES_GET. You have to implemented such restriction by yourself.

Best wishes,

Florin
