Convert Scientific Notation to Numeric (ABAP)

[Former Member]

I am currently consuming a WebService from XIgnite, that is returning a 7.5863900E-01 and I need to update the TCURR (Exchange Rate table) with .758639.

I need an ABAP example to use to place within the program that is importing the data for exchange rates.

Thanks.

try this:

DATA: W_EXPO TYPE QPMK-SOLLWERT,
      W_PCKDECI(16)  TYPE P DECIMALS 3.

MOVE : '7.5863900E-01' TO W_EXPO,
       W_EXPO TO W_PCKDECI.

@David - the exchange rate is only five decimals not six.

@Prabhu - so you should declare w_pckdeci with 5 decimal places rather than just three.

worked like a charm. Thank you.
