HI,

You can directly move it.

DATA : LV_CHAR(4) TYPE C.

LV_CHAR = '10'.

DATA : LV_INT TYPE I.

check lv_char ca 'abcdefgh....z'. " To check if it conains any alphabets

LV_INT = LV_CHAR.

WRITE LV_INT.

Thanks,

Mahesh

Use this code.

data: lv_char(10), lv_int type i.

if lv_char co '0123456789'.
  lv_int = lv_char.
endif.

Please mark points if the solution was useful.

HI Neeraja,

You can try using the function module NUMERIC_CHECK for checking that ur char field contains an alphabet or not.

IF htype = 'NUMC'.

then the field doesn't have any alphabets.

elseif htype = 'CHAR'

then the field is containing alphabets.

if the field didn't have any alphabets u can then move it directly to int field.

Move the field inside a TRY ENDTRY block with a CATCH for CONVERSION_ERRORS. If no error occurs, then check if less than zero. If an exception occurs, the code in the CATCH can issue relevant message.

Hi Neeraja

data: a(10) type c,

b(10) type n.

a = '123'.

b = a.

write:/ b.

b = 0000000123.

reward points if helpful,

Use the standard function module MOVE_CHAR_TO_NUM
