          v_char(20).

* Qunat to Char conversion 
 v_char = v_quant.

use call function 'MOVE_CHAR_TO_NUM'

exporting

chr = v_char_field

importing

num = v_qty_num

hi praveena,

if it's at the report level,

just try this,

define one local variable i.e. data: l_char(10) type c.

move your quantity field into this local variable(l_char) and disply this.

regards,

seshu.

Hi if you want it to be converted to the way how it is being displayed in output (with commas) then try this:

write quan_field to char_field.

here char_field is of type char.

ex: if quan_field has value 10000.25 then char_field will have value 10,000.25
