Hi Kantheri,

Use TYPE N variable and assign packed decimals value to this.

DATA V_PDEC TYPE P DECIMALS 1 VALUE '1.1'.

DATA V_LNUM(4) TYPE N.

V_LNUM = V_PDEC.

WRITE:/ V_LNUM. --->0001

Thanks,

Vinay

Pass the decimal value to variable quant type char6

quan1 type char4

quan2 type char2.

split quan at '.' into quan1 quan2.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

input = quan1

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = quan1.

concatenate quan1 quan2 into quant separated by '.'.

This should solve it
