Converting type floating value

[Former Member]

Hi ,

while passing value to a variable as 12000000.85, it got converted to value 1.200000085E7.Is it floating value? How to convert this floating value to character value which will be again converted to 12000000.85?

Thanks

Use ABS statment.

Example:

data : netpr type ekpo-netpr,

amount(17) type c.

amount = ABS( netpr ).

Amount(char field) will have ur value.

Try out this.

Data:p_float type f value '1.200000085E7',
     p_packed type p decimals 2,
     w_char(12).

p_packed = p_float.
w_char = p_packed.

write : w_char.

yes you can use direct assignments to move data from fltp to char and char to fltp.
