Hi

assign it straight away after defineing the variables/fields

say v_char = 100

if you move that to P type

v_pchar = v_char

become 100.00 if it is 2 decimals

Hi siva,

REPLACE ALL OCCURANCES OF ','.

Then use condense

Hi Siva,

How is type P field defined. It should be long enough to hold the data of 18 char.

You can direclty use

field1 = field2.

You can directly move the character field to type P.

Data: f1(18) type c,

f2(18) type p decimals n. "Specify no. of decimal points

While moving the data make sure that it contains only numbers and decimal point. remove all the commas if there are any.

Hi..

You can use the PACK statement.

Eg:

DATA: V_CHAR(10) VALUE '1234.56'.

DATA : V_PACK TYPE P DECIMALS 2.

PACK V_CHAR TO V_PACK.

WRITE:/ V_PACK.

reward if helpful.
