Write like this

wa_bseg-dmbtr = ( ( wa_konv-kwert * 11.33 ) / 100 ) - wa_bseg-dmbtr

HI,

Try this

wa_bseg-dmbtr = ( ( wa_konv-kwert * 11.33  )  / 100 ) - wa_bseg-dmbtr.

hi:

Do like this

data lv_dmbtr type bseg-dmbtr.

lv_dmbtr = *wa_bseg-dmbtr

lv_dmbtr = ( ( wa_konv-kwert * 11.33 ) / 100 ) - lv_dmbtr.

I think U missed one '('

try this

wa_bseg-dmbtr = ( ( wa_konv-kwert * 11.33 ) / 100 ) - wa_bseg-dmbtr

hi,

*wa_bseg-dmbtr = ( wa_konv-kwert * 11.33 ) / 100 ) - wa_bseg-dmbtr.*

change it to

data : lv_data type p decimals 2 value '11.33'.

wa_bseg-dmbtr = ( ( ( wa_konv-kwert * lv_data ) / 100 ) - wa_bseg-dmbtr ).

just copy and paste then check for syntax check.

hi all ....i tried the way ...but STIL THE SAME ERROR

treid all combinations below

( ( wa_konv-kwert * 11.33 ) / 100 ) - ( wa_bseg-dmbtr )

( ( wa_konv-kwert * 11.33 ) / 100 ) - wa_bseg-dmbtr

( ( wa_konv-kwert * ( 11.33 ) / 100 ) ) - ( wa_bseg-dmbtr )

( ( wa_konv-kwert * 11.33 ) / 100 ) - wa_bseg-dmbtr

ERROR

Incomplete arithmetic expression: ")" missing at end of statement.

Statement "33" is not defined. Check your spelling.

write it this way

( wa_konv-kwert * '11.33' / 100 ) - wa_bseg-dmbtr.

This works and its tested....

Hi,

Try this way,

wa_bseg-dmbtr = ( ( wa_konv-kwert * 1133 ) / 10000 ) - ( wa_bseg-dmbtr ).

You cant provide numbers with decimal places.

Hi Shailaja ,

Who said that numbers cant be provided with decimals, just try giving the number with decimals in single quotes and then tell if it works or not

hi,

Just declare a variable of packed decimal type containing the value '11.33'. And then use the variable in the arithmetic expression instead of putting the value directly into the expression.Please ensure that the number of opening brackets matches the number of closing brackets.

Hope this solves your problem.

thanks,

Your given problem is:

wa_bseg-dmbtr = ( wa_konv-kwert * 11.33 ) / 100 ) - wa_bseg-dmbtr.*

First problem in your expression is: 1 bracket is missing here.

Second problem in your expression is: you need to declare 11.33 as packed decimal.

Do the following declaration.

data : v_val type p decimals 2 value '11.33'.

and use v_val in your expression.The expression will sure work.

Best regards.

P.N. : I just tried in sap editor and found error until and unless i declared 11.33 as packed decimal.So declare it as a packed decimal and use it in your expression as a variable. It'll work.

Hi Siddarth,

Numbers with decimals can be provided as variables. But what I meant was, we cant give the numbers with decimals as it is because the system takes the decimal point as period. So the part after the decimal point.... it takes as a next line.
