what does you dump say? Do you verify that your characters contain only digits and decimal and sign before you do the compute?

Error Analysis:

procedure "USER_COMMAND" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING

*Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the

*exception would occur, the current program is terminated.

*The reason for the exception is:

*The program attempted to interpret the value "10,000 " as a number, b

*since the value contravenes the rules for correct number formats,

this was not possible.

Thanks a Regards.

I don't see why that passage is so difficult to understand.

I'll help you out:

Hi,

check following code.

data : c(10) type c,

p(11) type p decimals 3.

c = '123456.789'.

p = c.

write 😕 c, p.

You really must learn to do some desk checking before posting here. The code you posted works perfectly!

However, if you change it to:

DATA : c(10) TYPE c,
p(11) TYPE p DECIMALS 3.

c = '123,456.789'.

p = c.

WRITE :/ c, p.

It will dump. And it will give the same sort of message (but with a different number) than the one you originally said.
