Overflow for arithmetical operation (type P) in program

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am trying to do multiplication of two quantities in this given code.

t_temp1-comp2_qty = v_comp1_qty * t_stpo2-menge.

But qunatity value is coming too large.

So I am getting the "Overflow for arithmetical operation (type P) in program "ZOUM_R021 ".

Actual code is like this.

LOOP AT t_stpo2 WHERE stlnr = t_mast2-stlnr.

t_temp1-idnrk = t_stpo2-idnrk.

t_temp1-bwkey = t_stpo2-werks.

t_temp1-stlnr = t_stpo2-stlnr.

t_temp1-comp2_qty = v_comp1_qty * t_stpo2-menge.

COLLECT t_temp1.

CLEAR t_temp1.

ENDLOOP.

wherer v_comp1_qty and t_stpo2-menge

is already calculated value.

Then please suggest how to avoid this overflow .

Hi,

declare the target variable in the similar way as shown below:

t_temp1-comp2_qty(30) type p decimal 4...

Hi Amit,

Declare all the variables of type F (float), then you wont get the overflow error while multiplying....

Hope it helps

Type F will lose accuracy. Better declare a type P of sufficient size to hold the product.

Hi all,

I used like this.

DATA l_quant(16) TYPE p decimals 3.

My program is working for max of 14 length.

Still it's giving error if i give input more than 14 length data.

Please suggest is there any way to sort out this error.
