Pass text to Number/Quantity field

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I need to pass text to a number field which in turn needs to be displayed in drop down list.

Is there any way I can achieve this?

Kindly advise.

Thanks,

Hi Vinodh,

If you have declared the field type as numeric and try to enter text value then you will get the error.

So, i would suggest to change the field type to CHAR with required length and use it.

No Sudeesh, i can't change it to CHAR ,as I am modifying the User fields in standard Network (CN22) which is the Quantity field from AFVU-USR05.

In NUMC field, you can enter number as well as character.

Hi Vinodh,

Why you are entering text data in QUANT field?

Its the functional requirement to do so..

QUAN field basically store value in DEC format.

So text will not allowed in this way...

is there any work around for this kind of scenario...

Hi Vinodha,

I think it is meaningless to pass the text in quantity field.

Can you explain your requirement in breif.

So that we can provide work arounds for your scenario?

The requirement is to pass the text to Quantity field and display that in drop down.

Hi Vinodh,

I agree with Narendra.

Either you can use different field for given requirement like USR00 to USR03.
