Conversion error when transfering decimal values

Former Member — Fri, 28 Oct 2005 15:34:37 GMT

I have to transfer a % value to a dynpro and I allways get a conversion dump.

The original data object is 2 lenght 2 decimals type dec, the fields are all type dec. Do I have to define something special in order to get the fields to display the decimals(anything without a conversion dump)?

Or does anybody have a clue what is wrong.

Thx.

Make sure that the screen fields are defined correctly, need to be a length of at least 5. I think that you could get away with 4.

Yes, just tested it, you can use a length of 4. The reason is is that the system wants to put a 0 in front of the decimals, so that's two spaces right there, then your actual decimals make it 4.
