In reference to Thread Rounding a float value.

Former Member — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 15:37:46 GMT

Hi Friends,

I am trying to round a float value.

Suppose the value is 1.6666666666666666E-01

I need the output as 1.67

I hve been using ROUND function module but it gives me 1.6700000000E-01

when I use Packed decimal it takes as 0.17

Any suggestions..

Thanks

Chaithanya

Here is my above thread. I have a new issue with the abve Thread

As Rich suggested I multiplied by 10 and I got the value as 1.67.

But if the value is 1.0000000000000000E+00

when I multiply by 10. I get the value as 10.000 which is wrong

Any suggestions that would solve the issue for all the cases.

Thanks,

Chaithanya K

Hi Chaitanya,

You can check with the abap statements CEIL or FLOOR OR try with the function module ROUND_AMOUNT

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_IN_ROUND_AMT'

EXPORTING

amount = p_amt

rndoff = '100'.

RNDLMT = 'N'

IMPORTING

RETAMT =

DLTAMT =

hope this helps u .....

Hi Chaitanya,

try using the code like this..

DATA: num1 TYPE f, num2 TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

num1 = 73050 * '0.0727'. " result: 5.3107349999999997E+03

num2 = num1. WRITE num2. " result: 5310.73

Hi..

Thanks for your replies.

I have the float value already.

num1 is type float and num2 is type p decimals 3.

Say Eg num1 = 1.6666666666. when num2 = num1.

the value of num2 = 0.167. But the correct value is 1.67.

Hope this clears you

Thanks,

Hello Chaitanya,

it gives you 1.667 as your statement has 'decimals 3'. num2 is not 0.167...it comes to 1.667. try executing this code of yours in se38 once.

DATA: num1 TYPE f, num2 TYPE p DECIMALS 3.

num1 = '1.666666'.

num2 = num1.

WRITE num2.

Hi Chaitanya,

You can use the Function Module

'MURC_ROUND_FLOAT_TO_PACKED'.

Reward points if helpfull.

Hi Kashyap,

Thanks for your reply. When I try to execute the function module through SE37. It says Error generating the test frame before I try to give the data.

After some analysis and time taken

The value I had was 1.6666666666666666E-01 which was raised to power -1 and Srinivas has already mentioned in my previous thread so the when 0.166666666666 is converted to packed decimal the value would be 0.167. which is correct

Thanks to all for your replies.
