Checking for chars or numbers in i string

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to convert a varibale of type char10 to integer. Exampple: ZCHAR: '0000144210' to ZINT: 144210; for instance with following statement: ZINT=ZCHAR

However, if ZCHAR contains a character like 'a'=> '000014a4210' the program shortdumps at the assignment.

My question is then if there is a function or such to check number of characters in a variable or anything to ensure that the short dump wont occur.

Hi Dan,

Try this:

IF ZCHAR CO '0123456789 '.

ZINT = ZCHAR.

ELSE.

• Error

ENDIF.

Here is another option.......

data: c(10) type c,
      i     type i.

c = '01234a6789'.

catch system-exceptions convt_no_number = 1.
  i = c.
endcatch.

if sy-subrc  = 1.
  write:/ 'error'.
endif.
