numeric fields

Former Member — Wed, 23 May 2007 03:55:43 GMT

Hi Experts,

i have requirement where i need to upload the file from the desktop and validate the file data like formating structure of the fields (i.e., numeric fields contain numeric values, character fields contain alphanumeric characters, if a field is eight characters in lengh, input is equal to eight characters or less) .

Do we have the isnumeric , ischar , isdecimal functions in SAP to check for numeric , character and decimals fields . Appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks,

Latha.

Hi,

In SAP there are many FM, or there is simple way to check fields using ABAP keywords such as CO(Contains Only), CA(Contain Any), etc

You can check help on these operators.

Reward points if useful.

Hi,

To check for only numeric value u can check if field co '0123456789'

To get the filed length use strlen(field) & get it in integer field.

Thanks

hi,

Use

CATS_NUMERIC_INPUT_CHECK

or

You can use the Function Module:
NUMERIC_CHECK

Usage:

CALL FUNCTION 'NUMERIC_CHECK'
EXPORTING
STRING_IN = X
IMPORTING
STRING_OUT = X
HTYPE = H_TYPE.
if h_type = 'CHAR'.


WRITE:/ 'NOt Numeric'.
else.
write:/ 'Numeric'.
ENDIF
