Rob is right here, you need to get rid of the commas, you can also do this using the TRANSLATE statement.

DATA: char_format(10) TYPE c VALUE '12,345.56'.
DATA: decimal_format(10) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
 
<b>translate char_format using ', '.
CONDENSE char_format NO-GAPS.</b>
decimal_format = char_format.

hi rich,

here i have one more doubt...

suppose if the amount is comming in country specific format then how we are going to handle it

like in us --> 123.123,00

in india --> 123,123.00

then how can we convert this to num?

Really we should be checking the user specific formatting from table USR01, field DCPFM, and handle accordingly.

For example..........

report  zrich_0005.

data: char_format(10) type c value '12,345.56'.
data: decimal_format(10) type p decimals 2.
data: xusr01 type usr01.

*   1.234.567,89
*X  1,234,567.89
*Y  1 234 567,89

select single * into xusr01 from usr01
          where bname = sy-uname.

case xusr01-dcpfm.
  when space.
    translate char_format using '. '.
    translate char_format using ',.'.
  when 'X'.
    translate char_format using ', '.
  when 'Y'.
    translate char_format using ',.'.
endcase.

condense char_format no-gaps.
decimal_format = char_format.

Try:

REPORT ztest MESSAGE-ID 00.

DATA: char_format(10) TYPE c VALUE '12,345.56'.
DATA: decimal_format(10) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF ',' IN char_format WITH space.
CONDENSE char_format NO-GAPS.
decimal_format = char_format.

This just gets rid of the comma. If you have any other non-numerics in the field ($, etc.), you have to remove them as well.
