I have a alphanum field as x(4) and
i have a numeric field as 9(2) which have value as zero
if suppose, I moved numeirc to alphanumeirc then I compared alphanumeric like below
if alpha-numeirc = 0 then perform first else perform second.
where it'll go ? |

It will not compile. you need to change your code from:
| Code: |
| If alpha-numeirc = 0 then perform first else perform second. |
to:
| Code: |
| If alpha-numeirc = '0000' then perform first else perform second. |
after coding properly, first will be performed. |

Correction:
after the move of numeirc to alpha-numeirc, alpha-numeirc will contain '00bb' where b = space.
Unless you compare alpha-numeirc to '00' (or '00bb') second will be performed. |

I am not sure, if it throws a compilation error, Does it?... but expected execution wouldn't be achieved until compare that alphanum variable with a value with quotes.
So in your current coding situation, It'll always execute second until you modify it to '00bb' as suggested by Mr. Dick. |

hi,
you cant test the class of an field like is alpha-numeric.
the class test can be done only as follows
is numeric
is alphabetic
is alphabetic-higher
is alphabetic-lower
