Fixed Point Arithmetic

[Former Member]

Hi Guys/ Gals,

I've made a copy of a standard SAP program that doesn't use fixed point arithmetic i.e. from the menu option of the program Goto-->Attribute the fixed point arithmetic is not checked.

Anyway I've inserted some code that needs to have fixed point arithmetic checked temporarily (on the fly) and after my piece of code has executed I need to disable the fixed point arithmetic checkbox again on the fly.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

As far as i know it is very difficult to change the attribute and also should be reflected once program execution started.

better you just put your code in another Program(make it as Fixed point) which contain that code and SUBMIT that code from your main program which is not Fixed Point.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

An alternative: Create a FM and do the calculations and return the value to program.

Hope this helps,
