Data type declared is different in the debug mode

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have added a new field LS_LINE-RATE and the data type is P(9) Dec(5) . In the debug mode, I can see that it is P(5) Dec(5). Have you encountered this before? I have checked the structure I still have P(9) Decimal (5).Is there any limitations?

Need your professional ideas.

Thanks in advance!

Paste your coding, especially the data type declaration of the structure LS_LINE. Also are you sure you are looking at the same structure variable. Perhaps you are looking at a local variable in a routine that has the same name as another local or global variable declared outside the routine?

The below declaration looks the same in debugger too

LS_LINE-RATE(9) TYPE P DECIMALS 5.

Hi,

if you are declaring with P (ls_line-rate(9) TYPE p DECIMALS 5), system will interpreat this as like below.

12(Before decimal) + 1(DOT) + 5 (After decimal) = 18(Total Length)

123456789222.22123

So i dont find any reason for the different display in the debugg mode.

Please check it once again and also can u pls paste your code ???
