conversion internal to external

Gaku — Fri, 12 Nov 2021 07:18:54 GMT

Hello.

I want to display 123,456yen.

However, the following program display 12,345,600.

Please tell me the mistake I made.

Also, please tell me when I use the following BAPI and currency.

DATA:gv_num1 TYPE p DECIMALS 2 VALUE '1234.56',

gv_num2 TYPE bseg-mwsts.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_CURRENCY_CONV_TO_EXTERNAL'
EXPORTING
currency = 'JPY'
amount_internal = gv_num1
IMPORTING
amount_external = gv_num2.

WRITE: gv_num2 CURRENCY 'JPY'.

You must never WRITE external format. WRITE a data object in internal format and it will render the content by automatically converting it to the external format. So, if you don't call BAPI_CURRENCY_CONV_TO_EXTERNAL, it will write 123456 as expected.

CONSTANTS: c_value2 TYPE p LENGTH 10 DECIMALS 2 VALUE '1234.56',
           c_value3 TYPE p LENGTH 10 DECIMALS 3 VALUE '1234.56',
           c_value4 TYPE p LENGTH 10 DECIMALS 4 VALUE '1234.56'.
WRITE / |Original value with 2 decimal places: { c_value2 }, value as a currency without decimal palces: { c_value2 CURRENCY = 'JPY' }Yen|.
WRITE / |Original value with 3 decimal places: { c_value3 }, value as a currency without decimal palces: { c_value3 CURRENCY = 'JPY' }Yen|.
WRITE / |Original value with 4 decimal places: { c_value4 }, value as a currency without decimal palces: { c_value4 CURRENCY = 'JPY' }Yen|.

All decimal places are converted to pre-decimal places, use appropriate data type:

Original value with 2 decimal places: 1234.56, value as a currency without decimal palces: 123456Yen
Original value with 3 decimal places: 1234.560, value as a currency without decimal palces: 1234560Yen
Original value with 4 decimal places: 1234.5600, value as a currency without decimal palces: 12345600Yen
