Declaring a variable with a non fixed decimal.

Former Member — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 02:54:28 GMT

Hi,

There is a request to follow the number of decimal places from table TCURX depending on the country.

For example,

data: l_decimal type i.

loop at itab.

select single decimal

into l_decimal

where waers eq itab-waers.

data: X type p decimal l_decimal.

X = 5.32424 x 3.2452542 / 2.3242352

endloop.

The declaration of the variable with the decimal using another variable is not allowed.

Do you have any other suggestions on doing this?

Thanks

for dynamic declaration always use () brackets

That is :

data: X type p decimal l_decimal.

Replace as

data: X type p decimal (l_decimal).

Try This trick

you need to create dynamic variable.

like this


DATA lv_test TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <X> TYPE ANY.

DATA: lv_deci TYPE i VALUE 2.
CREATE DATA lv_test TYPE p DECIMALS lv_deci.
ASSIGN lv_test->* TO <X>.
<X> = '20.333'.  "Anything.
WRITE: <fs>.

Please search CREATE DATA in F1 for more details.

Chaiphon,

Thanks alot your solution worked.

Anand,

Even assigning the decimal with a variable, it still displays an error of (VAR) is not numeric.
