or:
| Code: |
If DataType(myvar,'W') = 0 Then
Say 'It''s a whole number!'
Else
Say 'That''s not a number!' |
Use 'N' instead of 'W' if you want to accept any number |

| if I'm not wrong the question is not if the string is numeric or not BUT if the string contains any numercial values... that's the difference between enrico and Marso answers... |

Actually my code is like below.
2 WST-EDIT-ADDL-BTCH-HEDR REDEFINES WST-BANK-TAPE-HEADER
2 WST-EDIT-ADDL-BTCH-HEDR GROUP 68 1 80 80
3 WST-EABH-ADDL-BTCH-RCRD-CD
XX 69 1 2 2
The first and third line does not have any numeric where as the second line has numbers. i want to find the first and third line?.
Any suggestions on any functions? |

Hello,

I see some number(s) in all 4 lines  Why are the leading digits on the first 3 lines and the set of numbers in the 'xx' line not "numeric"?
What if a field was "WST-BANK-TAPE3-HEADER"? Is the 3 numeric?
Until you provide a more complete definition (if only for yourself), the implementation will be questionable at best. |

Exactly. If the meaningful numbers are always on the right side of the string, the logic will be completely different.
Why do we have always to beg for information? (just thinking aloud) |
