data type

Former Member — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 13:01:16 GMT

Hi,

i have a field Amount of type Dec in that i will enter currency amount.

To this field i am fetching data from file. in that file instead of currency data text data is available to that field.

in coding logic by if condition how to check the content is string or numeric?

so that we can avoid filling the field if it is a string.

regards,

Ratna

use Fm

Numeric_check .

in the export parameters

HTYPE returns NUMC or CHAR for the entry .

make use of this logic.

hope this helps

regards,

Try the FM NUMERIC_CHECK.

Reward if useful.

  *it is string.
endif.
