How to tell if character string contains only integers
The way to test if a character string in a variable or field consists
only of integers or includes alphabetical characters, use the INTEGER
function with NO-ERROR, then test the ERROR-STATUS:ERROR attribute.
DEF VAR x AS CHAR.
DEF VAR i AS INTEGER.
UPDATE x.
i = INTEGER(x) NO-ERROR.
IF ERROR-STATUS:ERROR THEN MESSAGE "alphabeticals detected".
ELSE MESSAGE "string contains only integers".
