Compare Integer value to Char value

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have one query. I have one amount field. I wanted to validate that this field should not contain any text i.e. SY-ABCDE.

Example:

data: lv_var TYPE I.

LV_VAR = '100.00'.

IF LV_VAR NE SY-ABCDE.

"SOME MESSAGE

ENDIF.

While debugging I found that still control is going to inside above mentioned if condition.

Can anybody will suggest me how to write condition for it.

Thanks,

Neha

If you want to work with SY-ABCDE, you should code it like IF LV_VAR CA SY-ABCDE.

But since SY-ABCDE contains only the 26 latin alphabet characters (and that in caps only), I'd rather say:

IF LV_VAR NO '1234567890 .'.
  <some message>
ENDIF.

Hi ,

try this way...

 data: lv_var TYPE I.
 
 LV_VAR = '100.00'.
 
 IF LV_VAR NE SY-ABCDE. "comment this
 IF LV_VAR CA SY-ABCDE. "write CA if the variable contains any alphabets the below statement executes

 "SOME MESSAGE
 
 ENDIF.

neha,

hope you understnad now

so for checking...

first do this...

translate lv_var to uppercase. " this is needed bychane the string contains lower case.. and sy-abcde doesnt contain lower case elements.
if lv_var CA sy-abcde.
 message 'contains chars' type 'I'.
endif.
