Hi Sharma,

data : l_string1(10) type n,
<b>l_div type p decimals 1.</b>
l_string1 = 220.
l_div = l_string1 / 100 .
write l_div.

If you look at the help on WRITE :

WRITE l_div EXPONENT 0 DECIMALS 2.

Will show as 2.20

Hi All ,

That is working fine now ,Could you please let me know also

l_string1 = 220 instead of this If I will pass 220.00

like this l_string1 = 220.00

Then what data type I have to defined for l_string1 ?

Thanks for your time & effort..
