ATINN has a conversion exit associated with it. That is why if you do WRITE CABN-ATINN directly, it converts it to external format which is the text of that characteristic value. If you want to display it as a number, move it to a numc 10 variable and then display that.

Hi Karthik,

ATINN is actually a field for giving the internal characteristic name, so it will display the output as text only,

You can try to capture the numeric value of ATINN into a variable of numeric type (length 10) and then display the variable in the output.

Srinivas,

Thanx for the info. But how can we know that atinn has a conversion to be carried out.
