comparing values..

Former Member — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:04:55 GMT

hi,

i have 2 variables, one of type char 30 and another char 10. One has a value 0.220 and another has 0.22.

When I compare these two values, it seems it fails.

If var = var2.

endif.

Is there a way where i can convert one of these into a format of the other just before comparing ? i cannot change the data types of these variables now as it will affect many parts of the related programs. I just need to typecast them to same width for comparison purpose only. any tips ?

thks

hi,

if these character type variables always contain numbers with decimals, than I would suggest to define variables type p with some decimals. Than move the values to these p variables and then you can compare.

hope this helps

Hi,

I am not sure , You can try this way-

data:w_char1(30) type c value '0.220',

w_char2(10) type c value '0.22'.

if w_char1 CS w_char2.

write:'OK'.

endif.
