data type conversion in subroutine in script

Former Member — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:49:13 GMT

Please answer my quest

in subroutine inside script all the variables are in char format.

Suppose passed values are of amount.

I want to make total of it in (se38) program, so i need to convert it from character to numeric or integer.

Explain me how datatype can be converted from char to I or P.

Thanking you

Gargi.

Hi,

try it

1. To remove all camms(,)

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF ',' IN <variable1> WITH ''.

2. Conver to number(internal convertion)

I think you'll just need something like this (not syntax checked):


form do_count
  tables 
    it_data structure itcsy
    ot_data structure itcsy.

data:
  ls_itcsy         like itcsy,
  l_total          type i,
  l_count          type i.

read table it_data into ls_data 
  with key name = 'MY_COUNT'.   "or whatever

if sy-subrc is initial.
  l_count = ls_data-value.  "will convert Char to I 
  add l_count to l_total.
endif.
"etc
endform.

but to make it more robust (i.e. in case the SAPScript calls it with a non-numeric) you might like to wrap a "try" or "catch" around the assignment from the character to the number as in:
