You can declare it as CHAR or NUMC.

If you are declaring it in the program then say:

Data: custno(10) type c.

If it is a field in the table, then declare it as any data element which has the type CHAR 10 or NUMC.

Thanks,

SKJ

in your program you can also declare NUMC as

data w_numc(10) type n.

Hi harri kishan,

You should declare with data type "N" (Numeric text) or "C" (Character) or refer to structure, table field of customer number.

For example

DATA kunnr(10) TYPE n.

DATA kunnr(10) TYPE C.

DATA kunnr LIKE RF02D-KUNNR.

Hope this help.

Regards,

Tiwa.

just a query...i don't think a variable declared with data type of numc will accept characters (NUMC - Character string with only digits)....in your case, you have to use only characters...curious to know how come your problem solved
