Hi,

try this...

GWA_INPUT_TABLE-VALUE - this is your character field

G_AMOUNT is your quantity or currency field.

SHIFT GWA_INPUT_TABLE-VALUE LEFT DELETING LEADING SPACE.

TRANSLATE GWA_INPUT_TABLE-VALUE USING ', '.

CONDENSE GWA_INPUT_TABLE-VALUE NO-GAPS.

G_AMOUNT = GWA_INPUT_TABLE-VALUE.

hi,

use field symbols for conversion of charector to the quantity field.

field-symbol : <fs> type KTMNG .

data : v_a(5),

v_b type ktmng.

Move : v_a to <fs>,

<fs> to ktmng.
