Hello,

When are you getting this error? When you are trying to perform some operation on the quantity field variable?

Declare as DATA : atp type MENGV13.

or DATA : atp type MNG04.

This is same as mdps-mng04 data type.

This will solve your issue.

Seems like you are trying to concatenate this value to a character field or doing some character operation on it.

Create a temporary character field and write the quantity value to it before performing any operations.

Hi,

Use Field symbols

FIELD-SYMBOLS <tmp> TYPE C.

ASSIGN QTY_TAB-ATP TO <tmp> CASTING.

Try this...

Hope this helps..
