Hi,

Just check the declaration of the filed and value you are passing.

Normally : data: lv_field(8) TYPE p decimals 3.

It will accomdate 8 places before decimal.

Check in which statement it is giving error. If possible place the statement to look further.

Thanks

It's be easier to diagnose if you'd posted the offending piece of code... but here goes.

I guess you've got a field defined as type p, and you've got p-component or something like that. Or perhaps you're trying to do some string slicing. my_p+2(3). Or suchlike.
