I am downloading data from a file in the application server into an internal table to display it as a report. The file contains packed values. I have to unpack them to show the actual values. How can it be done?

hi Raj,

The range of the packed data type is 1 to 16 bytes.By default packed size is 8 bytes,

If u didn't specify any thing in the declaration. it occupies 8 bytes ... Ex. data num type p.

data num type p decimals 4. ... That means after integer it prints 3 decimals. Ex ouptut 1234.4567

data num(2) type p. Here It occupies only two bytes..

so when u take the field in ur internal table sturcture take according to the value u got in internal table from application server. or other wise take one variable and pass the value to a dummy variable var(15) type c, and loop ur internal table and append the var value to ur internal table field.

may hope this wil helpful

thanks and regards
