Hi,

Go to attributes of the program and there you would have a check box Fixed point arithmetic that should be checked if not check the check box abd check.

Hi,

Please check the target field should be of the same type as the field having value 23.00 that is it should be pooled with 2 decimals.

Hi,

Have u declared the variable with packed or floating data type. refer code below, but it is getting output as '23.00',

data : num type p decimals 2 value '23.00'.

data m type p decimals 2.

m = num * 1.

Hi,

Declare the 1 as a constant and of the same type as the variable holding the value 23.00. Also take into considerataion that the destination variable is also of same type.

This should defintely solve the problem.
