Can't replicate the problem...

data: p1 type p decimals 5,
      p2 type p decimals 5,
      p3 type p decimals 5.

start-of-selection.
p1 = '60798.12345'.
p2 = '1234.12385'.
p3 = p1 / p2.
write p3.

49.26420

Hi,

Dont use DIV instead use /.

I used DIV i didnt get the proper result.Now i have pasted the code which worked for me.

>data: a type p decimals 5 value '1234.12385',

> b type p decimals 5 value '60798.12345',

> c type p decimals 5.

> c = b / a.

> write: C.

Hi Joshua,

In SE38 Enter your program name and select ATTRIBUTES radio button. Check the Fixed Point arthimatic Check box.

You issue gets resolved.

REPORT  ZTEST_NEW.
data : var1 type p DECIMALS 5 value '60798.12345',
      var2  TYPE p DECIMALS 5 VALUE'1234.12385',
      var3 TYPE p DECIMALS 5.
" If the Check box is not selected then the result is ,00049
var3 = var1 / var2. " This is a Checkd Code snippet
write var3. " and its value is  49.26420
