Hello Sushmitha,

You can move the values one data type to others,

if you do not have any calculation then move to charcter type otherwise use same data type to same data type

Simple example :

data: quant(17) type c.

value from mseg-menge to quant

quant = mseg-menge.-> menge is quantity field

replace ',' with space into quant.

condense quant no-gaps.

Check the below links :

Actually, sap supports character format in which ASCII format. So, you can covert from one type to another type. Sap internally identifies as a character.

go throgh the following example

Data: char1 type c value '5',

num type i.

move char1 to num.

write num.

output num = 5.

reward points helpful
