counting the number of digits in a field

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

does anyone know of any function module by which we can count the number of digits in a field.

Say i have a priority field which is numc2, and the the user fills in a 5 digit number in it, i was to calculate this and raise an error if the number of digits is more than 2.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can use the STRLEN syntax.

DATA: L_LEN TYPE I.

L_LEN = STRLEN( L_VAR ).

data : text(10),

len type i.

text = <your variable which user is passing>

len = strlen( text ).

if len gt 2.

message 'Length incresed' type 'E'.

endif.
