I have 2 character fields , Lenght 10

1 is havin data as d1 = '00000000001' and other d2 = '1' .Mathematically they are equal. How can i compare them to get resuly as equal.

refer this demo code -

data: d1(10),

d2(10),

c1 type i,

c2 type i,

d3(10) type n.

d1 = '0000000001'.

d2 = '1'.

c2 = strlen( d2 ).

d3 = '0000000000'.

c1 = strlen( d3 ) - c2.

d3+c1(c2) = d2.

if d1 = d3 .

write 'Equal'.

else.

write 'not equal'.

endif.

use conversion_exit_alpha_output FM to remove leading zeroes.

suppose your variable contains '00000000001'.

data: var(10).

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = var

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = var.

now u can do comparison as all the leading zeroes are removed.

Cast/assign them temporarily to integer variables. Then compare those integer variables.

data: i1 type i, i2 type i.

i1 = d1.

i2 = d2.

if i1 eq i2.

...

endif.

Hi,

Assign them to two data variables of type 'N' and then assign them to type I.

Then you can compare.

DATA: var1(10) type N value '0000000001'.

DATA: var2 type N value '1'.

DATA: var3 type I,

var4 type I.

var3 = var1.

var4 = var2.

if var3 = var4.

endif.

Regards,

Sesh

I dont think FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT is useful in this case. U need to use FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT which converts any number with zeroes right into a simple integer

Import parameters Value

INPUT 0000000001

Export parameters Value

OUTPUT 1

Then you can compare both the values.

I hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Vibha

Hi,

use CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT

and pass the value of D1 and the leading zeroes will be removed.

then compare
