Hi All,

I need to remove all alphabet and only leave numbers for the value of a field.

for example: FIELD1: DVE6837

The output required for FIELD1 is just 6837.

The alphabet is always at the beginning and tehre is no other pattern it follows like fixed length or sequence etc.

Please suggest how to achieve this in the best feasible way. Please reply immediately.

Thanks.

Hi

Try this:

PARAMETERS: P_FIELD(10).

DATA: LEN TYPE I,
      POS TYPE I.

LEN = STRLEN( P_FIELD ).

DO LEN TIMES.

  IF P_FIELD+POS(1) CO SY-ABCDE.
    P_FIELD+POS(1) = SPACE.
  ENDIF.

  POS = SY-INDEX.

ENDDO.

CONDENSE P_FIELD NO-GAPS.

WRITE P_FIELD.

Ooops! I've reached the post after it was solved... sorry for the spam

And worse than this (for me, of course)... the solution provided before mine is pretty better...

I would try using the SEARCH sentence. With it, you can look your string for '0', '1', '2'...'9'. If your value is as you've said (once you find a number, the rest of the string will be numbers), take the lower position returned and "cut" your variable from there.

DATA: mystring(10) TYPE c VALUE 'TEST230188',
      mycount TYPE sy-index,
      mynum(1) TYPE n,
      mypos TYPE sy-fdpos.
DO 10 TIMES.
  mycount = sy-index - 1.
  mynum = mycount.
  SEARCH mystring FOR mynum.
  IF sy-fdpos < mypos AND sy-subrc = 0.
    mypos = sy-fdpos.
  ENDIF.
ENDDO.
SHIFT mystring BY mypos PLACES.

(the code is not tested, it's just a sample of what you can do, and I'm sure it can be improved a lot... good luck with it)

Hi,

I think you have to check it like this,

data: a type i.

data: c(10) type c value 'asd123'.

data: c1 type i.

data: c2(10) type c.

c1 = strlen( c ).

do c1 times.

if c+a(1) = '1' .

exit.

endif.

a = a + 1.

enddo.

c2 = c+a(c1).

Reward if useful!

if u r sure that the alphabet <b>only occurs at the beginning</b> then u can check this sample program

REPORT ZYH284_TEST2.

DATA:

w_char(10) value 'abcd1234',

w_num(10) type n.

w_num = w_char.

write:w_num.
