field validation

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have table field of CHAR type.I am validating this field in my program for 'abcdefhijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'.But its not working.If I remove the digits , its working fine.I guess I should have taken the field type as STRING.But now the database is not allowing me to change the field type.Please suggest how can I validate this field without changing its type in the database table.

So what are you trying to validate here and what is not working?

Hi,

even I had faced the same problem while validating one of the field.....

then I used this statement

DATA: C_STRING(63) TYPE C
                       VALUE 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'.

IF field_name CN C_STRING.

hope this works... if not please tell me how it is failing.....

Hi Sunil,

I have a code for validating values from a - z (small) and A - Z (capital).

use the same for your requirement, but dont forget to add the ASCII range from 1 to 9 also in my code..

l_partner_name = wa_input-value.

l_length = STRLEN( l_partner_name ).

l_count = 0.

DO l_length TIMES.

CALL FUNCTION 'URL_ASCII_CODE_GET'

EXPORTING

trans_char = l_partner_name+l_count(1)

IMPORTING

char_code = l_asc.

l_hex = l_asc.

l_dec = l_hex.

IF l_dec EQ 32 OR l_dec

BETWEEN 65 AND 90

OR l_dec BETWEEN 97 AND 122.

l_count = l_count + 1.

ELSE.

l_split = l_partner_name+l_count(1).

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

Amit.
