Datatype conversion for Displaying

Former Member — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 08:40:40 GMT

There is a variable which is stored internally in the form of Decimal( Length: 3 & Dec. Plcs:2 ). For Eg., X = 0.50.

I want to display this variable on the UI as X = 50%.

Is there an in-built feature to convert the datatype of this variable just for the purpose of displaying and without changing the internal datatype( decimal ).

Please help.

Thanks

Sukanya

There is no readymade data element or doman to show the percentages.

You have to cook your own logic to show it is %.

Data: v_per type i,
         v_per_char(5).

i = x * 100.
v_per_char = v_per.
condense v_per_char.
concatenate v_per_char '%' into v_per_char.
write:/ v_per_char.
