Decimal Problem while division in abap

Former Member — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 11:10:25 GMT

Hi dudes,

I'm using following statement in the report

l_steuer_ep-zzfwgross_SGD = ( ep-zzfwgross ) / ( w_exrate-EXCH_RATE ) .

where EP-ZZFWGROSS = 30694.30-

and W_EXRATE-EXCH_RATE = 0.77851

Resultant value definitely will be greater than 30694 logically thinking...

but i'm getting 0.39- .

Both zzfwgross as well as zzfwgross_sgd are Same Data Types. I dont know why its happening...

My Actual requirement is to convert Currency which is in USD(zzfwgross) into SGD (zzfwgross_sgd)

Hi,

Make sure the 'Fixed point arithmetic' checkbox is checked in attributes of program.

However, this checkbox is visible for type 'Executable program' not for include program.

Hi AnnaMalai(Brother Mountain)

-(is that your name..?? Pls forgive me if wrong ..;-) )

If you want to convert to USD to SGD, you need not to use formulas,

there will be many Functional Modules available to convert,

For ex: CONVERT_TO_FOREIGN_CURRENCY

you can use these FMs to convert the currencies, it would be the best option..
