hi jyothsna.,

we can not use the float(TYPE F) data type to define parameters.

because it takes the rounded values some times for the decimals to check the data in SAP tables.

it leads to get inconsistent data from SAP tables.

You cannot use types F (floating point), 1, or 2(6-digit date formats).

The built-in ABAP types c, d, i, n, p, t, and x

A non-specific data type from the ABAP Dictionary or a non-generic data type, from the same program, already defined using TYPES, and which is elementary and flat and not of the type f (with the exception of the use of NO-DISPLAY).

press f1 on parameters: statement , u can find the above docu there.
