Data type conversion

[rnb86]

Hi Experts,

i have a question on data type conversion. My requirement is:

i have fields of type packed decimal in my internal table itab. I need to convert the values of packed decimal fields in itab to numeric type.

Example:

Data: begin of itab occurs 0,

ebeln like ekko-ebeln,

ebelp like ekpo-ebelp,

menge(15) type p decimals 2,

netpr(15) type p decimals 2,

end of itab.

if itab-menge has a value of 2.00, i need to convert that value to ' 200'. Right justified.

if itab-netpr has a value of 1,234.56, i need to convert that to ' 123456'.

The above internal table itab is passed to the Function module GUI_DOWNLOAD and the itab data is downloaded to a text file.

Please let me know how to acheive this objective.

Hi,

You can use the following code:

DATA: MENGE(15) TYPE P DECIMALS 2,

V_NO(17) TYPE C.

MOVE MENGE TO V_NO.

CONDENSE V_NO.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '.' IN V_NO WITH ''.

CONDENSE V_NO NO-GAPS.

This will solve your problem.
