Display Float parameter for the Length field

Former Member — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 09:41:50 GMT

Hi Experts,

We need to display a Field of type float (for length field ) in order to retrict the user upto specified number of decimal places.

I have seen in Forums like : DATA : ZABC type P decimals 2.

But i am creating the screen using Dialog programming, hence how do i code for this field??

I'm unable to place a field on the screen which would restrict for a specific number of decimal places.

Requirement : This field is used to enter the length of an equipment.

Thanks in advance,

Vidya

Hello,

As per my understanding your requirement is that you want to create a field on screen (using module pool) so as a user is allowed to enter a number with fixed decimal places liske 12.35, so the user may not be able to enter 12.356, i.e., 3 decimals places.

If so create an input box in module pool and in its properties select DEC from the dropdown for Format.

Now in your main program declare a varaible with the same name as the input box of type p decimals 2.

When you execute your program and if the user tries to enter a value with decilmal places more than 2, SAP will generate an error message stating the proper format that can be entered.

Sachin
