Depending on if you are checking the extra space in the field you may need to do this.

data: c(10) type c value '123.78'.
data: len type i.

len = strlen( c ).

if c+0(len) CO '0123456789.'.
* Ok, allow it.
endif.

of course, you may also need to consider thousands seperaters (',') and embedded spaces.

You can use numeric check or alternatively you can use the following code:

DATA : l_string TYPE string,

lv_lifex TYPE likp-lifex VALUE '10.001'.

MOVE 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' TO l_string.

CONCATENATE l_string 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' INTO l_string.

CONCATENATE l_string

'`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+|\}]{["''";:/?>,<' INTO l_string.

IF lv_lifex CA l_string.

WRITE 😕 'Contains Characters'.

ELSE.

WRITE 😕 'Only Numeric'.

ENDIF.

For me CO dint work with '10.001' so I had to resort to the above to make it to work.

Just to add to our friends responses, you can use

FM: <b>CATS_NUMERIC_INPUT_CHECK</b> to check for pure numeric

values which will consider the decimal and unit

separator.
