ABAP Code Split at the decimal

Former Member — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:47:18 GMT

Dear experts,

I have a small requirement where in I need to split the qty at the decimal place and use the non decimal value as a character field.

Eg: WA_ITAB-LFIMG = 12.000

I want only 12 into one variable which has only capacity of 4 characters (Lfimg has 1313 characters).

I tried the following code, but it did not work.

I was able to successfully split the value and pass it onto the corresponsing entries but unable to pass the value into a variable of 4 characters,

Can some one please help me in this.

It_itab has lfimg

data : var(17) type c,

qty(13) type c,

qty_dec(3) type c,

val(4) type c.

constants : ca(1) type c value '.'.

read table it_itab into wa_itab index 1.

var = wa_itab-lfimg.

split var at ca into qty qty_dec. " This worked

val = qty. " This did not work

Thanks

Debug your code and explain more clearly what did not work.

I suspect var and also qty are filled right bound with leading spaces, so your last statement moves only 4 spaces to val.

Hi Amit,

use TRUNC function:

data : 
  qty_dec(3) type c,
  val(4) type c.

val = trunc( WA_ITAB-LFIMG ).
qty_dec = ( WA_ITAB-LFIMG - trunc( WA_ITAB-LFIMG ) ) * 1000.
