Hi Jayasree,

Just have a varaible declared of the required type (integer or dats format)

and say, move char_field to variable.

See the documentation for command MOVE.

hi ABAP supports automatic type conversion for all data types except you cannot assign type t to type d field and vice versa.

eg.converting character to integer!!

data a(3) type c value '123'

data b type i.

b = a.

write b.

depending on your char value, the addition

USING EDIT MASK

of the statement WRITE might be a solution ... Just an idea ...!

required variables.

hi

if you take a numc data type then you can move the char value to the numc stright.

if it is dats u can do a move char_variable to dats_variable.
