Variable to be declared when calculating ratio.

Former Member — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 05:42:20 GMT

Hi ABAP Experts,

I need to calculate ratio of the following:

Lv_Ratio = lv_var1 / lv_var2.

Note: TYPE of lv_var1 and lv_var2 = Currency, Length 13, Dec 2.

I would like to know, what 'TYPE' should the variable lv_ratio be declared?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards,

Refer this:

data: l1 type glt0-tslvt,

l2 type glt0-tslvt,

l3 type glt0-tslvt.

l1 = '19.02'.

l2 = '12.05'.

l3 = l1 / l2.

Hi,

surely you want the ration value to be in decimal as the two variables can be in decimals so bettre to declare the variable as P with decimal 2 to capture the decimal part also.
