Conversion decimal to exponential format

[geetha_k]

Hi to all,

I have a small requirement in PM module. In IK11 tcode we r giving the measurement point reading in decimal point.But in database table it will store in exponential format.

For example. If we will give measuremetn point reading - 55.0 (in measurement point category temperature). But it will save in database table like 3.4814999999999998E+02.But i dont know which function module will use to convert decimal to exponential format.Please tel me which function module will use......

Hi

Pass the data in the decimal format the system will internally convert it Floating point format

or try this out

data : var(4) type p decimals 2 value '10.22',

float type f.

float = var.

write float.

Hi,

you can directly use EXP function.

Check this code sample.

DATA: RESULT TYPE F,

PI(10) VALUE '3.141592654'.

RESULT = exp( PI ).

WRITE RESULT.

Dear Geetha,

Please check this thread Simple routine to convert exponential values to float that solves this issue.
