String Pattern Comparison

[muhammad_sohail]

Dear Experts,

I want to compare my input string with the pattern as:

Input String = 'ABCD-100'.

I want to compare before -(dash) entered string should only contains character(s) (e.g; A, b, D, C etc.); not the numbers.

how should I do it.

Regards,

Sohail

Hi,

Split the string at '-' into two variables and then check the first variable if it contains any alphabets.

Thanks,

Try this...

data str type string value 'AB2D-100'.

data: str1 type string,

str2 type string.

split str at '-' into str1 str2.

if str1 na '0123456789'.

write: 'Not containing Numbers'.

else.

write: 'Contain Numbers'.

endif.
