You can't have a length speciification on a float field.

data: qty type f.

HI..

In ABAP we dont have the datatype Quan ..

for achieving this we need to declare this as type <b>p with decimals 2</b> or the number of decimals what you need

if it helps reward with points

Example.

data: qty type f.


qty = '1.123'.

write:/ qty.


qty = '1.123456'.

write:/ qty.

so I can do quantity(5) type p decimals 2 which will hold 9 digits (plus a sign) with 2 decimal places

what about another variable

unitprice(17)
