String Manipulation splitting

Former Member — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:11:25 GMT

Hi , I have a peculiar issue.

There is a string of length 10.

it will always start with a numeric value however it can have alphanumeric charaters there after.

for example :

2BC

23A

123B etc.....

I have to pick only the numeric values for comparison

like 1 ,1 , 2,23, 123 with another field that holds only numeric characters.

how can I achieve this.

THanks

take a NUMC variable with same length.... assign this value to this new NUMC variable....

Try this,

data: lv_char type c length 20 value '12ab34c5'.

data: lv_num type n length 10.

lv_num = lv_char.

write lv_num.

Thanks,
