Hi,

this should be ok.

data: char1(4) type c value '23.4',

char2(10) type c,

char3(10) type c,

dec1(12) type p DECIMALS 3,

int1(5) type c,

dec2(3) type c.

move char1 to dec1.

char2 = dec1.

split char2 at '.' into int1 dec2.

UNPACK int1 to int1.

CONCATENATE int1 '.' dec2 into char3.

CHAR3 has your final format.

Please reward if helpful.

Thanks to all. the problem is solved now ..

I found that as fixed length was specified so Overlay operation on variable can also be used .
