Hi,

I am not experienced in your requirement; if you just want to remove zero, then adding the floating point to the char field, then use SHIFT key word.

If you want the correct result then move the floating point to the packed decimals field….

Hi,

the problem here is u are dealing with a datatype of format F (i.e floating point ) and the output u desire is in packed format .

You cannot delete the zeros of such data typesas type F instead u can move them to the packed datatype and get the result.

do one thing declare a variable of type p and move the value of type f which u have right now to the variable u have declared as type p.

data : v_val type p decimals 4.

v_val = " <------ assign the type f to type p over here .

hope this helps .

regards,

vijay.
