calculation problem

Former Member — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 13:32:23 GMT

I'm getting a dump BCD_BADDATA. I am using a curr type field which is also used for adding another curr field.

ex A = A+B (both are curr fields)

But the values getting added is like

A = 3021.60- + 20202.02

Here it throws a dump "Packed field contains incorrect BCD format".

I'm not using packed numbers anywhere in the program though.

the field refers to a data element which is of curr type.

A LIKE BSIK-DMBTR,

B LIKE BSIK-DMBTR.

A = A + B

good

check your declaration type is to F rather than I and see the difference, other wise try to change it to hexa decimal and see the changes.

thanks

At some point you are probably saying something like:

B = space.

Change this to :

Clear B.

If B is in a structure, make sure you are not saying:

structure = space.

well you did'nt get me . what i was saying was something like this.

V_AMOUNT LIKE BSIK-DMBTR

V_TOTAL LIKE BSIK-DMBTR.

Both are currency fields.

Now i am adding like

V_TOTAL = V_TOTAL + V_AMOUNT.

iteration 1 : V_TOTAL contains 1000-

iteration 2: V_TOTAL = 1000- + 20202.06

Can this result in a dump ,( negative + positive value ). Only thats my question.

V_AMOUNT type p decimasl 2,

V_TOTAL type p decimasl 2.

V_TOTAL = ( V_TOTAL ) + ( V_AMOUNT ).

Try this....

Well, you picked a type without a sign. Try:

DATA: v_amount TYPE kwert  VALUE '-1000.00',
      v_total  TYPE kwert  VALUE '2020.20'.

v_total = v_total + v_amount.

WRITE : /001 v_total.
