hi,

I guess you got to use the conctenate statement to achieve the same ..

i.e,

data : v_char(6) value '123456',
         v_char_o(10),
         v_p type p decimals 2.

concatenate v_char+0(4) v_char+4(2) into v_char_o separated by '.'.

move v_char_o to v_p.

write : v_p.

hi,

you can use this code

write v_char using edit mask '____.__'.

Note: This code has limitations. On this sample code, it is assumed that your string only contains 6 characters for display. If you have 7 characters, the last character is disregarded.
