Hi,

Create a packed variable with 2 decimals and pass the result to this variable, it will be automatically truncated to 2 decimals.

DATA: v_res(8) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

v_res = (456/700) *100 .

Hi Tendai,

Declare a varibale to type P with decimals 2.

DATA : result TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

Now store the result of your expression in the variable declared above.

result = (456/700) *100.

Now out the result you will find the result in your desired format.

WRITE : / result.

Reward if useful.
