division by character

[Former Member]

hello

can we divide a variable of type character by another variable of type character in smartforms?

if not, do we have to convert them into numbers, is there a FM to do that?

hi,

You can do that ... but then you can even use it as a same variable type by type casting i.e, for example if you want to convert the character type to integer do this way ...

 data : v_char(10) value '35',
          v_int  type i.

* Converting Character type variable to Integer 
   v_int = v_char.

ll'arly you can convert it to packed and numc variables ...
