Divide the number by 100 after assigning to the variable

data : string1 type string value '98.00'.

data : v_dec type ANZHL.

v_dec = string1.

v_dec = v_dec / 100.

Hi,

I think there will be a Function Module for this, but i don't have a system available to check.

You can do it with your own coding as follows:

data: lv_string type string,
      lv_int    type i,
      lv_result type p decimals 2.

lv_string = '98.00%'.

replace '%' in lv_string with ''.

move lv_string to lv_int.

lv_result = lv_int / 100.

I suppose this to work.
