Hii Afzal,

Try this code..

<b>CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS conversion_errors = 1.

MOVE text TO amount.

ENDCATCH.

IF sy-subrc EQ 1.

*not numeric</b>

Or use this FM

<b>NUMERIC_CHECK</b>

It returns a char data type for values other than numeric

and a numc data type for numeric values.

Hope it helps you...

Regards,

Ashish
