Hi,

Hi,

Try moving it to NEWR TYPE field

DATA :

     VAL1 TYPE CHAR10 VALUE '1000.00',

     VAL2 TYPE NETWR.

VAL2 = VAL1.

WRITE : / VAL1,

          VAL2.

HI dhivya,

Try moving the char value to currency field .

DATA :

      VAL1 TYPE CHAR10 VALUE '1000.99',

      VAL2 TYPE NETWR.  "Currency field

VAL2 = VAL1.

WRITE : / VAL1,

           VAL2.

Or

try passing the string value directly in the function module CHAR_FLTP_CONVERSION , you will get the currency value in FLSTR parameter.

data type NETWR works only if the value is w/o thousands separator.

eg: if the value is like '1000.99'

but if the value is like '1,000.99' it gets to dump.

thanks.

Hi Dhivya,

Use FM HRCM_STRING_TO_AMOUNT_CONVERT pass decimal separator and thousand separator (Ex: '.' and ',')

Why to use a function module included in SAP HR module to process a simple task as to convert a character-based value into a decimal value? Maybe this function module is not available in every SAP system.

My recommendation is to use other more general function or procedure or do it manually using standard ABAP constructions.

Lack of common sense may be

I could write a simple ABAP routine for this purpose; but alas - "the end justifies the means"
