Hello muralidhar,

The problem is that the program does not set the checkbox: "Fixed point arithmetic".

A solution would be to call a routine in a custom program like this:

PERFORM cal_price(ZCALCULATES) using WA_VBFA-RFWRT WA_XKOMV-KKURS

changing F_RFWRT

I hope you help.

Hi Muralidhar,

You can search 'Fixed point arithmetic' on SCN, see what it is.

What Pau said is right, or you can tick this check box in attribute of your report in SE38.

Hi, this is the problem.

If you mark this checkbox, all calculations in the program will use

fixed point arithmetic.

If you do not, packed numbers (ABAP/4 type P, Dictionary types CURR, DEC

or QUAN) will be treated as integers when they are used in assignments,

comparisons and calculations, irrespective of the number of decimal

places defined. Intermediate results in arithmetic calculations will

also be rounded to the next whole number.

To resolve, do calculations outside the function group, in a custom program with this flag set.

I hope you help.
