Hello Veerendranath,

SAP is throwing dump because you are tring to assign a value containing ',' and '.' to a quantitiy field. Please remove the ',' and '.' and try it should work.

Try this -

in this case, WRITE TO will not work, as you are sending CHAR value to a numeric field.

here is the logic i followed to overcome the (user settings of comma(,) and DOT(.))

DATA : V_WEIGHT TYPE LTAP-BRGEW,

V_WT_CHAR(21) TYPE C.

assume you have weight value in a CHAR field.

v_WT_CHAR = '21,987.258'.

here your requirement is to push this value to a weight field.for that follow this,

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF ',' IN V_WT_CHAR WITH ''.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '.' IN V_WT_CHAR WITH ''.

CONDENSE V_WT_CHAR.

MOVE V_WT_CHAR TO V_WEIGHT.

V_WEIGHT = V_WEIGHT / 1000.

now your V_WEIGHT will have value '21987.258' (as it stores in INTERNAL format)

~ As found in forum.

Amit

Don't pass ',' or '.' into the quan field ..

Pass like this ...

l_char = '123456000'.

l_quan = l_char.

l_quan = l_quan / 1000.
