Declaring variable dynamic of decimal format

Former Member — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:13:36 GMT

Hi SDN Community,

Can you possibly provide a sample of how to declare a variable to be dynamic.

the situation is that using the TABLE CLASS INTERFACE,

the numbers from I_VALUE come in as long decimal places. eg. 20.58498497

i wish to have a declaration to then use this further in the code.

for example

DATA: ROUNDEDNUMBER type i DECIMALS 2.

but i want instead of 2, to have this dynamic,

the dynamic value is populated by I_NUMERIC_PRECISION which is derived from the settings of the Bex query.

hence my anticipated result is 20.6 (which has been rounded as well)

I have seen Field symbols achieve this?

Thank you.

Simon

TRY THIS :

DEC_NO IS THE VARIABLE WITH THE MAX 14 DECIMALS.

GET YOUR NUMBER IN DEC_NO AND THEN ASSIGN IT TO THE FIELD SYMBOL.

DATA: DEC_NO TYPE P DECIMALS 14.

ASSIGN DEC_NO TO <FS_DEC>.

USE <FS_DEC> IN YOUR FURTHER CODE.

Hi Naresh

Thank you for your reply.

Can you possibly put the full snippet of ABAP code that will achieve this.

I only am an amateur ABAP'er, and work on your expertise syntax.

Thank you.

Answer:

write i_display_value to lv_replace_value

no-sign decimals i_numerical_precision.

condense lv_replace_value no-gaps.

Hi all,

I had the same issue und solved it in this way:

DATA: lv_decim TYPE numc1 VALUE 0.

DATA: lr_packed TYPE REF TO data.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_packed> TYPE ANY.

CREATE DATA lr_packed TYPE p DECIMALS lv_decim.
ASSIGN lr_packed->* TO <fs_packed>.
