Hi,

How can i convert a type f variable into a type p decimals 2 variable?

I'm trying to make this division:

var type f.

var1 type p decimals 2

var = 50 / 100.

the result is:

var = 5.0000000000000000E-01

if i do

move var to var1.

the result is:

var1 = 0.01 ???

can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

DATA: var type f,
      var1 type p decimals 2.

var = 50 / 100.

WRITE:/ var.

move var to var1.

WRITE:/ var1.

Result is: 0.50

I don't see what's your problem...

Greetings,

Hi,

I checked your sample below. var1 gave me 0.50 answer. which is also same as var1 = 50 / 100 (result 0.50). what result you are looking for based on your sample?

cheers,
