IF TELNUM CO '0123456789'

phone number is valid

else.

phone number is wrong.

endif.

else.

phone number pattern is wrong

endif.

but when i validate with database value 123-456-7890 giving phone number is wrong.but the pattern is correct .

Hi,

Check this

parameters : val(30)  type c.
data : final(30) type c,
       cnt type i,
       v type c,
       n type i.
 
 
cnt = strlen( val ).
do cnt times.
move val+n(1) to v.
if v ca '0123456789'.
move v to final+n(1).
endif.
n = n + 1.
enddo.
 
condense final no-gaps.
 
write:/ final

hi gokul

try giving

IF TELNUM CO '0123456789-'

instead of

IF TELNUM CO '0123456789'

hope it solves the problem
