syntax

Former Member — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 21:23:17 GMT

Hi,

I need to check the first 2 places of a string and check if they are characters or numerical.

For example: ch1 = string

Ch2 = 20string

I need to differentiate them depending on their first 2 places.

Anyone please tell me the syntax

Thank you

Hi,

You can use FM NUMERIC_CHECK to validate numeric or character by passing the first two character string.

DATA: WA_STRING TYPE STRING,

WA_HTYPE LIKE DD01V-DATATYPE.

MOVE CH1(2) TO WA_STRING.

CALL FUNCTION 'NUMERIC_CHECK'

EXPORTING

STRING_IN = WA_STRING

IMPORTING

HTYPE = WA_HTYPE.

IF WA_HTYPE = 'NUMC'.

WRITE: / 'numeric value'.

ELSE.

WRITE: / 'character value'.

ENDIF.

You can check the first two characters for numeric values like so.

if str(2) CO '1234567890'.
* Yes, the first two are numeric
else.
* No, they are not numeric.
endif.

Hi,

Check this...

DATA: CH1 TYPE STRING.

DATA: CH2 TYPE STRING.

CH1 = 'STRING'.

IF CH1+0(2) CO '01234567890'.

WRITE: / 'TRUE'.

ELSE.

WRITE: / 'FALSE'.

ENDIF.

Thanks,
