Difference between two amount fields

Former Member — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 21:45:47 GMT

Hi,

I have got two amount fields and I need to find the difference between those two.

They are in below formats

1.800,00

18,00

Is there any FM to find the difference.

Thanks,

ABAPer.

Why do you need a FM for this simple mathematical function, when you can subtract one from another and store it in the resulting variable. Calling a FM will be more lines of Code.

hey,

Just subtract the first number from the second and then store its value in a variable.For this why do you need a FM.

HI,

Simply subtract the two fields on the field.

The resulatant variable will have the result.

What if the two values are type c? So the commas etc. are really in the value. He'll have to convert to type P first, then subtract.

Again - it's programming that solves this - not "function module". How do you think function modules get written in the first place - by programming!
