Comparison with a float field

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have to compare two float fields, one fetched from database and one passed as importing parameter.

Now, i get "0.1" as a value in importing parameter for comparison. and the same is stored in the database, i.e. "0.1".

But when I put a select query on the table and read the value, the value i get is 9.9999999999999995E-02.

as a result, my comparison fails and the rest of logic crumbles.

I am aware of the usual standard - not to compare two float variables, but in this case, it is a equipment reading - it has to be in float, which i am comparing against a threshold, which again has to be float.

Is there any way to fix this through ABAP program?

I think ,

you have to use conversion exits then you have to compare.

There are no conversion exits for floating type of data fields.

The fields used for comparison are MRMIN, and MRMAX from the table IMPTT.

I am not sure about it but you could try to assign them to a variable of type p and then compare them.
