Amount value corrupted

[Former Member]

I have amount balance say amt_bal coming from ftp server file and I have developed function module to derive Posting_type_key based on the amount balance (amt_bal).

Sometimes i_amt_bal value contians alphabets as 'T234567'.

In that case, my code isfailing/dumping

I coded the Function module with

IMPORTparameter as

I_AMT_BAL TYPE CHAR16.

EXPORT paramater as

POST_TYPE TYPE CHAR02.

Source code is below

*"----

---

""Local Interface:

*" IMPORTING

*" VALUE(I_AMT_BAL) TYPE CHAR16

*" EXPORTING

*" VALUE(POST_TYPE) TYPE CHAR_02

*"----

---

IF i_amt_bal < 0. ( here it is failing if the amt_bal contians 'T234567' )

post_type = '40'.

ELSE.

post_type= '50'.

ENDIF.

=======================

How to make sure the i_amt_val's value is only numericals and if and only if numerical then pass posting type code?

What's so complicated about it ?

Define the IMPORTing param I_AMT_BAL as some currency type (viz., DMBTR, WRBTR etc). Is there any specific reason you've defined it as CHAR16 ?

Even If I declare i_amt_bal as NETWR the value comes as 'T234567'.

So, can I check that the i_amt_bal contains only number of 0 yo 9...?

Why because, If i_amt_bal contains other than number, then I won't check Lessthan (<) or greater than (>) check.

Hi ,

Use the below statement to solve this problem . I have tried and it is working for me.

Replace all occurrences of 'T' in v_amt_bal with '0' .

Thanks.

I mean the value may come with alphabets mix (like T36YH789 )incase the file sent with wrong values , that's why how can I check the i_amt_bal shud contain only numbers and comma and full stop.

My intension of asking is

IF i_amt_bal contain only numbers and comma and full stop, then, I will proceed

other wise I will error message

Can anybody help me?

Hi Sam,

Write your whole code in the following IF statement

IF  I_AMT_BAL CA '0123456789' AND I_AMT_BAL IS NOT INITIAL.
. . .
< your code >
. . .
ELSE.
< error message >
ENDIF.

Hi Sam,

you can assign the input string parameter to a type-P variable, and catch whether there's a conversion exception.

Please try the following code:

data: l_amt_bal_as_amount type dmbtr.

catch system-exceptions convt_no_number = 1.
  l_amt_bal_as_amount = i_amt_bal.
endcatch.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
  write: / 'Error while converting amount string to number'.
else.
  if l_amt_bal_as_amount < 0.
    post_type = '40'.
  else.
    post_type = '50'.
  endif.
endif.

I hope this helps. Kind regards,

My requirement is to check

i_amt_bal MUST contain only numbers and comma and full stop.

YOUR below synstax will also pass if the I_AMT_BAL has a value of 'T678YR906'.

IF I_AMT_BAL CA '0123456789' AND I_AMT_BAL IS NOT INITIAL.

I dont' want that. I want to make sure the amount value should contains only numbers and comma and full stop, to proceed further.

Hi Sam,

Try with

IF I_AMT_BAL CO '0123456789.,' AND I_AMT_BAL IS NOT INITIAL.

It shall work.

Contains Only: True, if operand1 only contains characters from operand2.
