Datatype Currency

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to understand the datatype currency, becoz I am trying to create a flat file for BDC in which one feild is WRBTR... If i see its length in BSEG table it says length 13 & decimal 2 ...

I want to understand how many places I should keep in my flat file...

1.) Since length is 13 and 2 decimals, so 11.2 (11 places before decimal & two places after..total length is 13 now)

2.) 10.2 (10 places before decimal, 1 place for decimal & 2 places after decimal).

3.) 13.2 (13 places before decimal, one place for decimal & 2 places after decimal.. so now the total length is 16)

Please Help.

Thank You,

SB.

I think you can take 16.

Hi SB,

take 13 as the length.

Declare just a flat data type,

Data: v_wrbtr(13).

If you look at structure BBSEG (which is the structure for loading FI line items), you'll see that it uses WRBTR_BI which is 16 characters.

It Takes 13 places before decimal and an accuracy of 2 decimals. Totally 16(including .). But dont worry about the length of the field, just give the field type WRBTR to the internal table field.
