problem with decimals

Former Member — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 14:49:30 GMT

hello all,

I am having a field that has type p decimals 1. now i need to format this field in a specific manner.

if the value is 4.0 then i want to output 4 and if output is 5.6 then i want to output 5.6.

i was wondering how to achieve the formal. I tried "shift right" but dint work; One of the possible solution is checking the last digit and if it is 0 and then is preceded by point i need to delete both of the digits. any other solutions??

will wait for your expert input.

thanks and regards,

Gaurav.

i´d do following:

data lv_swap type i.

data lv_out type c length 10.

lv_check = your_value mod 1.

if lv_check = 0.

lv_swap = your_value.

lv_out = lv_swap.

else.

lv_out = your_value.

endif.

given the input as 4.0 it will give 4,
       

REPORT ychatest LINE-COUNT 50.


DATA : dec TYPE p DECIMALS 1,
       dec1 TYPE p DECIMALS 1,
       dec3 TYPE i.

dec = '4.0'.

dec1 = frac( dec ).

IF dec1 EQ '0.0'.
  dec3 = dec.
ENDIF.

WRITE : dec3.

Looked at various formatting options in the WRITE statement, but couldnt come up with any clean solution. Of course, there is a solution, it's just not clean!

data: v_num type p decimals 1.

data: v_chr(5) type c.

v_num = 4.

write v_num to v_chr.

write:/ v_chr.

shift v_chr right deleting trailing space.

shift v_chr right deleting trailing '.0'.

write:/ v_chr.

v_num = '5.6'.

write v_num to v_chr.

write:/ v_chr.

shift v_chr right deleting trailing space.

shift v_chr right deleting trailing '.0'.

write 😕 v_chr.

OUTPUT:

4.0

5.6

Hi Gaurav,

<b>Run the below code to get u r expected result.</b>

Report zex33.
parameter : p_d TYPE p DECIMALS 1.
DATA :
       v_d1(20) ,
       v_d2 TYPE i.

v_d1 = p_d.

search v_d1 for '.0'.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
   v_d2 = p_d.
   write : / v_d2.
else.
   v_d1 = p_d.
   write : / v_d1.
endif.

hello all, thanks for ur kind replies.

florian your method works , i tried but it was tedious for me to encompass it in my program.

deepak : i mentioned in program that shift right is not working however thgh thanks for ur reply.

chandrasekhar and sreekant, ur technique works. although i used chandrakant's technique since it is based on standard function of SAP.

thanks once again to all of u, i have tried to give points in a fair manner, apologies if i disappoint you.

thanks,

Gaurav
