Hi,

SY-ABCDE contains alphabets with capital letters. So, string myst be in capital letters only.

Try with this code:

data: v_string(15) type c value 'APPLEBANANA2006'.

data : str(10) type c.

str = v_string+0(5).

write str.

if str CA sy-abcde.

write 'Characters'.

else.

write 'Numerics'.

endif.

Regards,

Bhaskar

Moev the string value to a character value first.. gv_char

declare a constant with all numbers (0 to 9). say gc_numbers.

then,

use this.. if gv_char+0(1) ca gc_numbers..

if gv_char+1(1) ca gc_numbers..

do the same upto 5 places in gv_char..

Cheers

Hi Vikas ,

check out this function module,

CATS_NUMERIC_INPUT_CHECK

put the letters of the word one by one in this function module,

if the letters are characters, it will through an exception no numeric.

Hi,

Use the below code.

data: v_char(10) type c value 'yruwy8900'.

data: v_length type i, v_count type i, v_total type i.

v_length = strlen( v_char ).

if v_length > 5.

do 5 times.

case v_char+v_count(1).

when '0' or '1' or '2' or

'3' or '4' or '5' or

'6' or '7' or '8' or '9'.

v_total = v_total + 1.

when others.

endcase.

v_count = v_count + 1.

enddo.

endif.

if v_total > 0.

write:/5 'Invalid entry'.

else.

write:/5 'Valid entry'.

endif.
