Hi ABAP masters,
working in database support for several years I've very often seen the problems that arise from the awkward data type NUMC.
A numeric type stored as characters.
What I always wondered is: what is this data type really good for?
The leading zero output display alone is hardly a valid reason to waste storage and complicate the usage of the data of that type.
I cannot imagine any use for this data type that wouldn't be better done by using integer types.
So, if you know what the reasoning behind this data type is, please let me know.
thanks and best regards,
Lars
