Thanks,

Simply assign this F type variable to a P type varaible:


DATA: num1 TYPE F VALUE '1.95E-01',
           num2 TYPE P DECIMALS 3.
                                                                        
num2 = num1.
                                                                        
WRITE: / num2.

Just make sure you target variable is properly defined to accomodate the exponential or else it will dump

You can also use FM: CEVA_CONVERT_FLOAT_TO_CHAR

If you search the forum you will get more solutions.

Hi Archana,

Use the function module :

CEVA_CONVERT_FLOAT_TO_CHAR

Check this sample:

CALL FUNCTION 'CEVA_CONVERT_FLOAT_TO_CHAR'
  EXPORTING
    float_imp  = w_float             -->Feld TYPE F
    format_imp = w_number      -->Field Format
    round_imp  = ' '                   -->Round off
  IMPORTING
    char_exp   = w_character.    -->Feld TYPE C

HI,

You can do this way...

Data:

float type f,

pack type p decimals(2).

give that value to the float and assign it to pack...

Pack = float.

or else if you want that value into character the use the function module to convert the float value

to decimal.

Please check this thread

You can also use FLTP_CHAR_CONVERSION.

And once if you convert to char then assign that to numeric variable so that to get a value into

numeric variable.

Hope this would help you.

Good luck

Narin

Hi,

plz check the below code :

data : w_float type f value '3.339000000000000E+02',
w_character type ausp-atwrt,
w_number(10) TYPE P DECIMALS 1.

CALL FUNCTION 'CEVA_CONVERT_FLOAT_TO_CHAR'
EXPORTING
float_imp = w_float "Feld TYPE F
format_imp = w_number "Field Format
round_imp = ' ' "Round off
IMPORTING
char_exp = w_character. "Feld TYPE C

Write : w_character.

Output : 333.9

thanx.
