Hi,

I hope simple move statement should work.

MOVE l_float TO l_curr.

Make sure that curr field has enough length.

Thanks,

Vinod.

you can use 'FLTP_CHAR_CONVERSION' function.. or if you search in SCN you have many discussions on the same topic.

My own personal quirk, I know, but I like to use a variable of type p decimals 2,

then: p_variable = 0 + fp-field....

alwys works for me )
