It shows the value has exceeded the sum field length of 10.

Thats the reason why you are seeing *052364588.

You have to increase the field length, such that it holds the summation value.

Hope this helps.

hi ,

in st22 i get this erorr what it is?

Error analysis

Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception

to occur, the running program was terminated.

The reason for the exception is:

The program attempted to interpret the value "*005926427" as a number, but

since the value contravenes the rules for correct number formats,

this was not possible.

Integers are represented in ABAP using a sequence of digits and, in some

cases, a preceding sign.

The system offers the following options for displaying floating point

numbers:

[sign][mantissa]E[sign][exponent]

[sign][whole number part].[fractional part]

e.g. -12E+34, +12E-34, 12E34, 12.34

If the error occurred in one of your own programs or in an SAP program

that you modified, try to correct it yourself.

Try this.

Split <char variable> at * into <val1> ..

Now the * is removed from ur value.

Now u can use that Val1 in ur calculations.

awrd points if useful

Hi,

Please try to use data type F (Floating point number) or I (Integer) for your sum calculation.
