Hi navid,

1. Simply assign to the numeric variable.

2. report abc.

data : ch(10) type c.

data : num type i.

ch = '476'.

num = ch.

write num.

1. No problem.

2. Just assign it to the

3. Then u can simply do calculations !

Hi,

Use packed decimals for accuracy of decimal digits and pass the values to character field of same length and simply u can print in the screen or send to the application server for file purposes.

Need not worry about the accuracy of contents in the character field.
