dear all,

lets say if my data coming is with numbers and strings e.g. "123 ABC XYZ"... how can i just get the number out? because the number can be "123" for now and the next "999999" which means the length for number will always change.

and once i do get my number out... do i need to convert it from string into number? thanks for the advice.

Hi,

Pls. use the sample code below to resolve your issue....

DATA: w_char1 TYPE string,
      w_char2 TYPE string,
      w_temp TYPE string.

w_char1 = '12345 ABC DEF 12345'.

w_temp = w_char1.

WHILE w_temp IS NOT INITIAL.
  IF w_temp+0(1) CO '0123456789'.
    CONCATENATE w_char2 w_temp+0(1) INTO w_char2.
  ENDIF.
  SHIFT w_temp LEFT.
ENDWHILE.

WRITE w_char2.

Thanks,

Sid
