Formatting input field from 123456789 to 123-45-6789

[siongchao_ng]

Hi all,

I need to format an input field. When the user enters a value like 123456789, I need to default it to looks like 123-45-6789. After that I need to save the 123-45-6789 back as 123456789. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,

Always you want to do in that format?

write code in on enter of that input field. Get value entered in that input field, split that in 3 parts and do cancatnation with ' -'. Again while saving just

use previous data, what you enter in input field. you get using get_attribute.

Cheers,

Kris.

Hi,

try to create a Conversion Routine and assign it to its domain, is should work...

or you can create and event OnEnter to this field, and do the conversion manually.

Hi Krisna,

Can you elaborate how you split '123456789' into 3 parts and concatenate it back into 1 part by adding in '-'?

Hi Siong,

You can try out following statement

DATA: input(9) type c,

output(11) type c.

input = '123456789'.

concatenate input(3) '-' input3(2) '-' input5 into output.

write:/ output.

The output should be

123-45-6789

Hi,

try like this...

*   navigate from <CONTEXT> to <NODE> via lead selection
    lo_nd_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_node ).


*   get single attribute
    lo_el_node->get_attribute(
      EXPORTING
        name =  `VALUE1`
      IMPORTING
        value = lv_value1 ).

data : val1 type char20,
       val2 type char20,
       val3 TYPE char20.


     move  lv_value1+0(3) to val1.
     MOVE  lv_value1+3(2) to val2.
     MOVE  lv_value1+5(4) to val3.

CONCATENATE val1 '-' val2 '-' val3 into lv_value1.

*   get single attribute
    lo_el_node->set_attribute(
      EXPORTING
        name =  `VALUE1`
        value = lv_value1 ).

Cheers,

Kris.
