Type N

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a field A(5) type n which I am using to store 5 digit numeric values.

As per requirement, in certain cases i have to set A to 'XXXXX'. But in these cases i get the value of A as '00000' in my output. Is there some way around? Or Is it best for me to declare A as type c.

Better U declare as Type C ...

By default type N has value 0 ..

Type N cannot contain alphabetic characters, use type C

hi,

Change the declaration to type CHAR ..

data : v_char(5).

hi check this..

data: num(5) type n .

write: num .

it will ge used for the numbers only .

use this ..

data:char(5) type c value '1',

output(20) type c .

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

input = char

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = OUTPUT.

write:/ output .

Hi Suker,

Its better you declare it as character C(5).

Hope this helps you.
