FM or class or Exit for changing input value from Decimal to floating point

[former_member742663]

Hi Experts,

There is a need to convert an input value from Decimal to floating point. I request you all to suggest any FM or other way in which we can achieve this.

Best Regards

DATA decimal_value TYPE p DECIMALS 2 VALUE '1.23'.
DATA floating_point_value TYPE f.
floating_point_value = decimal_value

Doesn't it work?

fltp = dec.

• Any assignment statement should do the job from "=" to move and compute (!)
• Abap will implicitly handle some conversion between variables (read Assignment and Conversion Rules, look for Numeric Source Fields / Numeric Target Fields)
