adding type c fields

kp_25 — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 00:59:56 GMT

Hi ,

I have added two character fields by removing ',' from them.

After adding i want now the ',' back . snippet of code written

ls_num_1 TYPE c LENGTH 32,"P DECIMALS 2,"LENGTH 32,

ls_num_2 TYPE c LENGTH 32,

ls_num_3 TYPE c LENGTH 32,

ls_str_amt TYPE c LENGTH 32,

ls_dec_amt TYPE c LENGTH 32,

ls_str_amt_final TYPE c length 32

ls_num_1 = ls_price_form_data-column2.

ls_num_2 = ls_price_form_data-column3.

Remove commas to be able to add the numbers

replace ',' in ls_num_1 with ''.

replace ',' in ls_num_2 with ''.

ls_str_amt = ls_num_1 + ls_num_2.

ls_dec_amt = ls_str_amt.

write ls_dec_amt to ls_str_amt.

Right-justify the string

shift ls_str_amt right deleting trailing space.

ls_price_form_data-column4 = ls_str_amt.

I want to print in smart form by adding ','. Tried to move to type p but did not work.

any suggestions to get back the ',' into numbers.

thanks,

Kamala

Is this a workflow question?

Can you tell us more about the requirement, i.e. inputs and the desired output?

Are you meaning to work on number with explicit declaration using character type?

Hi,

Declare a variable of type I and move the value to it. Use this variable to display.

erm, this seems very weird to me.

This is not how one would do calculations. If your number after the comma are not 00 then you will mess up the outcome highly by your routine.

Normally calculations are done in number formats, and then when they done, you can move the outcome to some char variable for formatting issues.

If you want to concatenate stuff, then you need char variable. Anyway have a look at the help to the "WRITE TO" statement. this can spare you a lot of coding and variables like it seems.
