Data type is giving error

[Former Member]

BUt Hi guys,

I am  trying to create a progrem in SE38 and while assigning the data type to a column its giving me error.

My  Column is Quantity which has a currency key. So in ABAP Program while declaring Data I wrote

COPASLTYQ (17) TYPE  P((n+1)/2),

COPASLQTU (3) TYPE  C(5),

G_QVVQ01 (17) TYPE  P((n+1)/2),

G_UVVQ01 (3) TYPE  C(n),

I researched and found this link on Help.SAP.Com

Data Types in the ABAP Dictionary - ABAP Programming (BC-ABA) - SAP Library

But it did not  help me.

Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

Regards

Prashant

Hi,

If it has a currency key then these fields store currency amounts.

I suggest you look at some existing SAP tables that store currency amounts.

You want the DEC data type.

Dear Prashant,

Use Data Elements Directly like

COPASLQTU TYPE MEINS,

Now it gives me following error:-

"For type "P" , a length specification from 1 to 6 is allowed"

Though the length specified for these quantity fields is(17).

Hi,

Maximum Length is 16 allowed.

Data :
COPASLTYQ(16) TYPE  P decimals 3,
COPASLQTU(3) TYPE  C,

OR use Data Element DEC17_3

COPASLQTU(3) TYPE  C,
G_QVVQ01 type DEC17_3,
G_UVVQ01(3) TYPE  C.
