Number conversion error

Former Member — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 14:23:44 GMT

Hello All,

I have the following code with me:

data:w_s1 type c,
        w_q1_act_rec1(14) type c,
        W_q LIKE EKPO-MENGE.
w_s1 = '-'.
w_q1 = '52,352.900'.
concatenate  w_s1 w_q1 into W_Q1.
condense W_Q1.
W_Q = W_Q1.

when i execute the above code I get the following short dump:

The program attempted to interpret the value "-52,352.900 " as a number, but

since the value contravenes the rules for correct number formats,

this was not possible.

the program is giving me a dump when I am insertinf w_Q1's value to W_Q.

As far as I know W_Q should hold -ve sign.

Please advise.

You have to get rid of the commas and periods before you assign the character string to a number.

Hi rajatg ,

pls try changing

w_q1 = '52,352.900'.

with

w_q1 = '52352.900'.
