validation of alphanumeric fields

Former Member — Thu, 24 May 2007 15:39:12 GMT

Hi Experts,

i need to validate the data from the file which is uploaded from the desktop. I have the address field , zipcode and many alphanumeric fields . I tried to use the CO operator which includes numbers from 0-9 , char a-z and wildcard , but i am getting error as the address fields has space in between like 1234 wacker Dr and this is not picking up and also the address field may have capital letters , Please suggest me the good approach to validate the alpha numeric fields . I have about 30 char fields in the file which i need to validate.

Thanks,

Latha

use - sy-abcde

data : l_val(10) type c value '0123456789'.

data : l_abcde type sy-abcde.

data : l_final(80) type c.

start-of-selection.

l_val = sy-abcde.

concatenate l_abcde l_val into l_final.

compare your value with i_final.

Try this.



report  zrich_0001.

data: this_value type string.
data: check_str type string.

this_value = 'This is the VALUE that I want to check 12345'.


check_str = sy-abcde.
translate check_str to lower case.
concatenate check_str sy-abcde into check_str.
concatenate check_str ' 0123456789' into check_str.

if this_value co check_str.
  write:/ 'This is ok'.
endif.
