Increment a Char Variable

Former Member — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 07:38:57 GMT

How do you increment a character variable?

Eg.

DATA: L_VAR1(3) TYPE C,

L_INC(3) TYPE C.

L_VAR1 = '080'

L_INC = '001'.

Then I need in a particular Loop run, L_VAR1 to vary from 080, 081, 082...120.

If I increment it with L_VAR1 = L_VAR1 + L_INC.

The next value stored is 81 and not 081.

Please provide Inputs in2 this.

Thanks

Hi..

Since u need a numeric value. Declare with Type N.

Eg:

DATA: L_VAR1(3) TYPE N,

L_INC(3) TYPE N.

L_VAR1 = '080'

L_INC = '001'.

Then:

L_VAR1 = L_VAR1 + L_INC. "This will work.
