hiii

i have a field of 18char where i input a currency value.

This field is used to be put in a field of currency 9 and 2DP. if ever a user put more that is expected a dump of overflow will occur . i was thinking of checking the STRLEN to be not more than 12.

If there another way of doing so instead of STRLEN check.

Hi,

Instead of using STRLEN, you can directly use OFFSET to move only 11 character to the decimal value.

REPORT  ztest_ram.

DATA: l_char TYPE CHAR18,
      l_dec(9) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

l_char = '1234567890123456'.
l_dec = l_char+0(11).

WRITE: 'DECIMAL VALUE', l_dec.

Best Regards,

Ram.

think u can directly declare the field of type and length that u need to exactly enter according to ur requirement. this will avoid the validation too.
