during amount calculation how to stop rounding

Former Member — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 02:07:24 GMT

Dear Freinds,

i have an amount as 121.539 , now whenf i divided by 10 it is becoming rounding to 12.154 automatically. This is not acceptable during the testing they have said it has to 12.153 only .

The data type of amount is 3 decimals type. Could any one let me know how can i stop rounding and get exactly as 12.153 only

instead of 12.154.

regards

ravi

Hi Ravi, <li>Try this way.

REPORT ztest_notepad.

DATA:value1 TYPE p DECIMALS 3 VALUE '121.539'.
DATA:value2 TYPE c LENGTH 20.
DATA:len    TYPE i.

value2 = value1 / 10.
CONDENSE value2.
len = STRLEN( value2 ).
len = len - 5.
value2+len(5) = value2+len(4).
WRITE value2.

Thanks Venkat.O

Dear Venkat,

Thanks allot it surved the purpose of problem, but i have one question can you explain me what exactly 5 means in the logic

len = len - 5.

i.e why you have taken 5 and specific reason.

this is only point i dint understood.

Hi Madhu, <li> 4 decimal places and decimal point. After dividing, you will get 4 decimal places right. Thanks, Venkat.O
