hi,

CATS_NUMERIC_INPUT_CHECK

or

You can use the Function Module:

numeric_check.

Usage:

CALL FUNCTION 'NUMERIC_CHECK'

EXPORTING

STRING_IN = X

IMPORTING

STRING_OUT = X

HTYPE = H_TYPE.

if h_type = 'CHAR'.

WRITE:/ 'NOt Numeric'.

else.

write:/ 'Numeric'.

ENDIF

********without FM*********

If field CO '1234567890'.

• Then its number.

else.

• then character.

Endif.

hi,

You can even use <b>CATS_NUMERIC_INPUT_CHECK</b>

* Check for Numeric Value

call function 'CATS_NUMERIC_INPUT_CHECK'
 exporting
   input = t_return-fieldval
 exceptions
   no_numeric = 1
   others = 2.

if sy-subrc = 0.
read table t_f4_table index t_return-fieldval.
endif.
