DATA: I TYPE I,

P TYPE P DECIMALS 2,

M TYPE F VALUE '-3.5',

D TYPE P DECIMALS 1.

P = ABS( M ). " 3,5

I = P. " 4 - business rounding

I = M. " -4

I = CEIL( P ). " 4 - next largest whole number

I = CEIL( M ). " -3

I = FLOOR( P ). " 3 - next smallest whole number

I = FLOOR( M ). " -4

TRY CEIL AND FLOOR

Hi,

As the value is store in char variable then you can use split at ..

then it will be easy to remove the decimals.

I think this will be helpful for you.

report ychatest.

data : v_dec type p decimals 2,
         v_abs type i.

v_dec = '44.57'.

v_abs = trunc( v_dec ).

write : v_abs.

Use this

numeric datatypes

DATA n TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
DATA ni type p.
DATA m TYPE p DECIMALS 2 VALUE '-5.55'.
n = ceil( m ).
ni = trunc( n ).
  WRITE: / 'VALUE: ', ni.

Output:

VALUE: 5-

Then use trunc( n )

Hi,

If you can transfer the value to a type P variable. you can use the FLOOR command.

if you want to have only in Char, then You can write a select single query on USR01 to fetch the value of DCPFM which will tell you whether the decimal separator is '.' or ',' and use SPLIT statement to get the desired value.

Mahesh

Thankyou all for your prompt reply.

Here the var is of type char. I wanna truncate the decimals of this char. Based on the user default settings the decimal may represent with , or .

Try this its working fine for CHAR too

DATA n(4) TYPE c.
DATA ni(4) type c.
DATA m(5) TYPE c VALUE '-5.55'.
n = ceil( m ).
ni = trunc( n ).
  WRITE: / 'VALUE: ', ni.

I am getting rntime error when i use floor or trunc.

Subhakar,

The quick solution for the same is to move the var field to a floting variable first. and then compute using arithmatic expression depending on the requirement.

See the below sample code:

DATA: char_c(30), int_i type i, p_p type p decimals 3, i type i.

char_c = '44.567'.

MOVE char_c to p_p.

int_i = ceil( p_p ). "To get the Upper value i.e 45 in this case

i = FLOOR( p_p ). "To get the Lower value i.e. 44 in this case

WRITE: / int_i, i.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

As the var is character type you need to use split.

the code is as follows:

data: var(30) type c value '44.567'.

data: var1(30),var2(30) type c.

split var at '.' into var1 var2 .

write 😕 var1.

i think this will helpful for you.
