Hi,

I have two fields like following

Data: lv_menge TYPE menge,

lv_quan TYPE menge.

When I am doing the following operation I am getting problem.

lv_quan = lv_menge + lv_quan.

Thanks,

srinivas.

HI Srinivas,

Please specify ur problem clearly Otherwise ur thread will be locked as it make no sence to the readers.

As per my understanding u might be getting overflow problem. This might be because u are declaring both of same type.

eg: If both lv_menge and lv_quan has big values, when u add these two it might exceed system limit.

So take lv_quan as TYPE P length 25 DECIMALS 2. Practically quantities won't cross this limit.

eg:

DATA: lv_quan(25) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Hi,

Exactly what problem you are getting?

MENGE is a structure and also a DOMAIN.

I think it will give some error message if you declare like that.
