Hi All,

I have a field declared as CHAR3 . I get the data into this field from a file which has value like '30 days' or '265 days' or '3 days'.

Now I am grabbing the value from the file as below: field = field+0(3).

so the result is '30 ' or '265' or '3 d'. Here, if you observe, the value 'd' in the last result is an error.

Could someone help me that I display the correct value?

Thanks,

points assured.

Hi Raja,

Did you try using the keuword SPLIT functionality? You can use this to split up a string into multiple variables.

Here in your case, you can split the source string into 2 variables at space.

SPLIT field AT ' ' INTO field1 field1.

This way, you will have the number in field1.

Hope this helps,

Sumant.

Hi Raja,

Try this

REPORT YCHATEST.

DATA : V_CHAR(3),

V_STR TYPE STRING.

V_STR = '3 days'.

V_CHAR = V_STR+0(3).

IF V_CHAR CO '0123456789'.

ELSE.

CLEAR V_CHAR+1(2).

ENDIF.

WRITE : V_CHA
