Type P issue

Former Member — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:42:09 GMT

Hello gurus,

I am dividing 0.7600 by 1000 --- the value shoud be 0.00076

The variable in which this value is calculated is type P decimal 6.

Now after dividing i get a value equals 0.000008.

I dont know how to go abt it.

also when i changed the type of the variable to F then i got an exponential value in the output.

Please help me.

Regards,

Roshan Lilaram Wadhwani.

I'm not seeing the same behavoir, this code outputs 0.000760

data: p type p DECIMALS 6 value '0.7600'.

p = p / 1000.

write:/ p .

Sorry sir,

On trying that i was getting a value 0.000000008.

If you dont mind then can i ask you on what basis did you ask me to change it to 9, does this type P works on multiples of 3???

Roshan.

Program Attributes ==> Fixed point arithmetic is checked?

Hello,

Thanks for replying to my query.

kalc-value = 0.7600

ekpo-peinh = 1000

gv_unitprice = KALC-VALUE / EKPO-PEINH .

This is my basic requirement.

here i am unable to get that 0.000760

kalc-value has 4 decimal places in Data Dictionary. How did you define it in your program?

Hello,

Actually this program is a copy of the standard program.

We are directly using it, we have not defined it explicitly.

Hello,

Sir, This is an include program, we dont have that option there and in the main program it is not checked.

KALC-VALUE is a standard field with decimal places 4.

Regards,

Roshan.

Hello Roshan.

In Agreement with Rich.

His code works fine and may be you might have divided with something else which has given you "0.000008"

Good Luck & Regards.

> KALC-VALUE is a standard field with decimal places 4.

in this case, there is no chance, the value of 0.00076 will be automatically rounded to 0....8 by the system (because of the 4 decimals).

you say the copied program still using the standard include? probably you can copy the include as well and make the necessary modifications

Hello,

Sorry to offend you but what exactly do you mean by " there is no chance, the value of 0.00076 will be automatically rounded to 0....8 by the system (because of the 4 decimals)."

should i transfer the below two variables to decimal 6 local variables and then they shoud be divided.

kalc-value = 0.7600

ekpo-peinh = 1000

gv_unitprice = KALC-VALUE / EKPO-PEINH .

It looks like, your main program does not have the "Fixed Point Airtmetic" checkbox set in the Program > Attributes.


data: gv_unitprice type p decimals 8,
      l_value      type p decimals 4,
      l_peinh      type ekpo-peinh.

l_value = '0.7600'.
l_peinh = 1000.

gv_unitprice = l_VALUE / l_PEINH .
write: gv_unitprice.

With the "Fixed Point Airthmetic" checkbox set, I got the this result:


      0.00076000

Without the "Fixed Point Airthmetic" checkbox set, I got the this result:


      0.00000008
