How to identify contents of a character field.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a field type c and length 5.

I want to check if the contents of this field are number or not, how do i achieve it.

Ex: if that field has 2000, then I want to identify it...

Please help me with the logic,

Thanks,

IF LV_VAR CA '0123456789'.
* this has numbers
ENDIF.

You can use other operators aswell like CO - Contains Only etc etc

One option would be to catch the CONVT_NO_NUMBER exception whilst moving the characters into a numeric field:

parameters:
  p_char(5) type c.

end-of-selection.
  data:
    lv_int type i.
  catch SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS
    convt_no_number = 1.
    lv_int = p_char.
  endcatch.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    write: 'It is a number.', /.
  else.
    write: 'It is not a number.', /.
  endif.
