how to check numeric on data type P

[Former Member]

hi all,

To check whether an input contain only numeric, we'll use

CALL FUNCTION 'NUMERIC_CHECK'.

how about for data type P which is containing decimal?

eg.

123.56

it will be treated as character due to the decimal dot.

i'm thinking of doing the CALL FUNCTION 'NUMERIC_CHECK' by separate it into 123 and 56.

please kindly advise if there is better option to do that.

thanks.

Declare field ..

data : v_check(11) value '0123456789.'.

data : v_num(20).

pass '123.56' to v_num.

if v_num CO v_check.

else.

*give a message not numeric ...

endif.
