Need substitute for INT2 data type

Former Member — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 09:20:32 GMT

Hi ,

Currently in my program..we have used a data type INT2.

The data type INT2 can hold only 5 characters at a time...with no commas in between and left Justified.

Now I got a problem that..the variable which is declard with INT2 was getting populated with more than 5 charaters.

So it gettin dump.

Now I need to change the data type of that variable.

I tried declaring with INT4..or Char...all these data types are nt left justified and also have commas in between.

Please suggest a data type..which can hold morethan 5 characters..left justified n no commas in between.

The problem..in declaring the variable as CHAR and manipulate it as required..is the variable which Im using in my program is called from a zstructure..

If I wanna modify it in the structure...then I need to change all the programs where the Zstructure is used..which I cant.

So request you to help me...is there any data type..which would replace INT2 with more than 5 characters in it and also no cammas in between and should be left justified.

Pls help.

Regards,

Priya

Pure numeric fields (not c, not n, not string, etc.) DO NOT contain punctuation and decimals are implied. The obvious replacement for INT2 is to simply declare type I. If I needed decimals, I would convert to (15) type p decimals n. However, your output process is what is adding the punctuation....it's absolutely not embedded in a numeric field. You should read available helps (ABAP) on different data types.
