String of arithmetic expression - How to process it?

Former Member — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 09:57:24 GMT

Hi All,

I have a formula which I need to calculate. This formula is contained in a string, viz. something like :

LV_FORMULA = 'X + Y - 15*Z + 36'.

I have replaced the variables with values, so that LV_FORMULA is now something like :

LV_FORMULA = '10 + 15 - 15*12 + 36'

Now, LV_FORMULA is of type c. How can I find the value of this expression?

Declare LV_FORMULA as Type I field and use

LV_FORMULA = 10 + 15 - 15 * 12 + 36 .

the equation will be executed as per the order of preference of the operators

( +, -, *).

reward if useful

data LV_FORMULA(10) type C.

LV_FORMULA = 10 + 15 - 15 * 12 + 36.

write lv_formula. (Contains the Value)..
