[ISSUE] CALL TRANSFORMATION with FLOAT

[Joseph_BERTHE1]

Hello,

I find something strange with the XML transformation. In fact, I have a field typed FLOAT with the value : '0.0053526555490249' and when I call the transformation I get the value : 0.0053526555490248998.

Try this code and tell me if you have the same issue :

TYPES: BEGIN OF l_typ_test,
          float     TYPE float,
        END OF l_typ_test.
 
 DATA: l_str_test   TYPE l_typ_test,
       root         TYPE l_typ_test,
       l_var_output TYPE string.
 

 l_str_test-float = '0.0053526555490249'.

 
 CALL TRANSFORMATION id
                     SOURCE root = l_str_test
                     RESULT XML l_var_output.
 
 WRITE l_var_output.

Result :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> 
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
    <asx:values>
        <ROOT>
            <FLOAT>5.3526555490248998E-3</FLOAT> 
        </ROOT>
    </asx:values>
</asx:abap>

If you have any suggestion to solve the issue, I'll be glad to know it

You can use decfloat34 type instead of float as it is more precise.

The output would show correctly.

Hi Joseph,

I think you  will use character type and move your floating value to cahr before moving in call transformation.

because after XML  conversion, field will bne consverted to XSTRING.

you can pass the char to XSTRING.
