Documentation

Definition

Key which determines how the check is to be carried out.

Predefined checks are started via keys 1 to 8. The system checks for a numeric entry, the length of the entry and for gaps in the entry.

A country-specific special check is activated via key 9. The entry is checked against a template specified in the program.
Templates have been implemented for the following countries:
Netherlands: "NNNN AA" Canada: "ANA NAN"
(N: only numbers allowed; A: only letters allowed)

Further checks can be inserted in the corresponding function modules. Contact your SAP consultant for more information.

Example

With the check rule you can determine, for example, whether the length is to be adhered to exactly or whether it is a maximum length. You can also determine, for example, whether only numeric or also alphanumeric characters are allowed.
