Data: W_num type p decimals 3.

W_num = '1.200000000e2'.

This will resolve the issue..

Defining the type as packed and giving the decimal precision will help you.

Hi,

Define a variable with decimal 3.

Then move ur value to the new variable.

DATA : W_NEW TYPE P DECIMALC 3.

WRITE W_OLD TO W_NEW DECIMALS 3.

Here W_OLD is your Exponential Value.

Hi Bhupi,

How about making 100% your own cutom coding.

I am not sure about your full req. but i have written a sample code for you just look at that.

DATA : A1(15), B1(15), C1, D1(10) TYPE P DECIMALS 3, E1(6).
*Move your current value to a Character variable.
A1 = '1.200000000e2'.
SPLIT A1 AT 'e' INTO B1 C1.
Split your value accordingly
*Calculate the multiplication factor you can take upto 10000000000000. depending on your Requirement
IF C1 EQ 1.
  E1 = 10.
ELSEIF C1 EQ 2.
  E1 = 100.
ELSEIF C1 EQ 3.
  E1 = 1000.
ELSEIF C1 EQ 4.
  E1 = 10000.
ELSEIF C1 EQ 5.
  E1 = 100000.
ELSEIF C1 EQ 6.
  E1 = 1000000.
ENDIF.
*Your fiunal value
D1 = B1 / E1.

Thanks & Regards,
