Validate the char field as a currency field

[Former Member]

hi all,

i have a requirement to validate a char field as an currency field...

i.e if user enters any char other than numeric, dot...i need to display an error message..THIS IM FINE>>>

Also user can enter a value as -123.23.34

How to handle such cases...

The only permissible value is a numeric value with two decimal places and a -sign.

Thanks in regards

Try this logic:

data: l_amount type p decimals 2.

l_char = '-12323.34'. << This is ur char variable to store numeric vlue.

try.

l_amount = l_char.

catch cx_root.

• Do ur error handling here

endtry.
