HI Experts,

I have the variables.

var1 type i,

var2 type i value 19,

var3 type i value 12.

var1 = var2 / var3.

I must get '1' as the output but it is giving the output as '2'.

Please guide me experts.

Thank you very much.

  var1 TYPE i,
var2 TYPE i VALUE 19,
var3 TYPE i VALUE 12.

var1 = var2 div var3.

write :
  var1.

Hi Saravannan,

Use DIV instead of '/'.

REPORT y_test33.

data:
var1 type i,
var2 type i value 19,
var3 type i value 12.

var1 = var2 DIV var3.

write: var1.

try like this



DATA : var1 type p decimals 2,
var2 type i value 19,
var3 type i value 12.

var1 = var2 / var3.
var1 = floor( var1 ).

write:/ var1.

Hi Saravanan,

When you do in this way, it rounds the value to 2 since 19/12 = 1.58.

so if you want the output to be 1 go with the option 'DIV'. If you want it in decimals then declare var1 as 'type p decimals 2'.

you are defining field as integer thats why it is rounding off the decimal part , define field like

data : abc1(6)  type p decimals 2.

and continue with ur program it wil work for u

Hi,

19/12 gives you 1.58.

In such cases it gives the result by rounding as 2.

And if we want the output to be 1 give 'DIV' as operator.

i.e. var1 = var2 / var3.

we can use FLOOR with the var1 so that it gives 1.

example :

data: var1 type p decimals 2,
var2 type p decimals 2 value 19,
var3 type p decimals 2 value 12,
var4 type i.

 var1 = var2 / var3.

var4 =  floor( var1 ).

write: var4.

o/p : var4 = 1.

thanx.
