Converting string to decimal

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a string like say, "28.08.2012 21:30:00". I need the entire string to be converted into a decimal value as it is. How do I proceed with this? I'm new to ABAP.

Regards,

Ninaada

Try replacing the specialn character using REPLACE statement and then move the content to a

decimal variable.

Got it to work. Just moved the string to decimal values.

Call the Function Module : WSAF_CONV_STRING_TO_DECIMAL

Hi,

Try this.

DATA: p1 TYPE string VALUE '28.08.2012 21:30:00'.

DATA: p2 type p  DECIMALS 1 .

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '.' in p1 WITH SPACE.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF ':' in p1 WITH SPACE.

CONDENSE P1 NO-GAPS.
P2 = P1.

WRITE P2.
