data type

[Former Member]

Hi,

i have a field <b>Amount</b> of type <b>Dec</b> in that i will enter currency amount.

To this field i am fetching data from file. in that file instead of currency data text data is available to that field.

in coding logic by <b>if</b> condition how to check the content is string or numeric?

so that we can avoid filling the field if it is a string.

regards,

Ratna

use Fm

<b>Numeric_check</b> .

in the export parameters

HTYPE returns NUMC or CHAR for the entry .

make use of this logic.

hope this helps

u can also try this...

if v_text CO '0123456789'.
  *it is a number.
else.
  *it is string.
endif.
