Type conversion problem

Former Member — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 09:26:13 GMT

I am doing a upload from excel file using FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'. In this there are several currency fields. i am populating the values of excel into an itab of char type.

when i am trying to convert the char type to currency type it is going to dump.

i had declared my currency field of domain WERTV8.

while debugging i observed that amount '9,000.00' is not converted to amount type.

in dump i got a message saying: " unable to interpret '9,000.00' as number.

i had used 'move' stmt for conversion of c type to amount.

hope my problem is clear to you.

Hi,

I suggest you to use FM 'GUI_UPLOAD' instead of 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'.

Or use the following Bapi's for conversion

BAPI_CURRENCY_CONV_TO_EXTERNAL

BAPI_CURRENCY_CONV_TO_EXTERN_9

BAPI_CURRENCY_CONV_TO_INTERNAL

BAPI_CURRENCY_CONV_TO_INTERN_9

Hope it helps...

You have to delete the , from your char number, it has always this format: '9000.00'

CHAR_NUMBER = '9,000.00'.

REPLACE ',' WITH SAPCE INTO CHAR_NUMBER.

CONDENSE CHAR_NUMBER.

MOVE CHAR_NUMBER TO WERTV8.

Hi Ateeq,

You should use conversion exit insted of moving directly.

for converting use this FM HRCM_STRING_TO_AMOUNT_CONVERT

pass your currency, decimal separator asa '.' and thousand separator as ',' it will give you the correct(converted) value.

Hi Ateeq,

1. As already suggested,

we can REPLACE comma with ''

(Because COMMA is creating the main problem,

the string having comma cannot be

converted to number )

2. try this code (just copy paste)

Try with/without commenting REPLACE statement.

REPORT abc.

DATA : cr TYPE wertv8.

DATA : s(20) TYPE c.

s = '9,000.00'.

*----

If we don't use replace, error

REPLACE ',' IN s WITH ''.

cr = s.

WRITE : s , cr.

Regards,

Amit M.
