data: f1 type i value 3,

f2 type i value 4,

f3 type i.

f3 = f1 * f2.

write : f3.

or

data: f1 type i value 3,

f2 type i value 4,

multiply f1 by f2.

write : f1.

Hi yunus,

1. Ideally it should work.

2. There might be some typing / minor mistake.

3. just copy paste and check, if this works.

4.

report abc.

data : a type i,

b type i,

c type i.

*----

---

a = 5.

b = 10.

multiply a by b.

write a. "---50

Did you see if you have ended the previous statement with a period?

This works fine in my system.

hi,

use

OBJ1 * OBJ2.

alternatively see this eg:

DATA: DAYS_PER_YEAR TYPE P VALUE 365,

HOURS_PER_DAY TYPE F VALUE '24.0',

MINUTES_PER_YEAR TYPE I VALUE 1.

MULTIPLY MINUTES_PER_YEAR BY DAYS_PER_YEAR.

MULTIPLY MINUTES_PER_YEAR BY HOURS_PER_DAY.

MULTIPLY MINUTES_PER_YEAR BY 60.

Hi Yunus,

REPORT test.

*

data: i type i value 10.

data: j type i value 20.

*

write: i, j.

*

multiply i by j.

*

write: i, j.

This works correct.

Which Declaration do you have for OBJ1 and OBJ2.

Hi,

what is the <b>data type of the fields OBJ1 and OBj2</b>. MULTIPLY supports only I,P and F fields.

MULTIPLY OBJ1 BY OBJ2 is a correct statement only where OBJ1 will contained the result.

equivalent to

OBJ1 = OBJ1 * OBJ2.
