offset for packing

[Former Member]

hi experts,

i am executing a report which was transported from 4.7 to 6.0...

i get dump when i use this code.

ASSIGN I_GLT3-HSLVT+OFFSET(8) TO <PFELD>.

HSALDO = HSALDO + <PFELD>.

field I_GLT3-HSLVT is a pack number

so its not possible to do offset operation on pack or decimal no...

• OFFSET = OFFSET + 8.

then i replaced this code by the below code...

l_temp1 = 12837420.95-.

l_pfeld = l_temp1+OFFSET(8).

HSALDO = HSALDO + l_pfeld.

CLEAR : l_pfeld,l_temp1.

l_temp1 and l_pfeld are character string but problem is that for all values (ie 12837420.95-.) the local variable l_pfeld is zero

please help me

Hi

Move the value to string and then convert that string to the packed decimal using the FM HRCM_STRING_TO_AMOUNT_CONVERT then move the converted value to your decimal variable.

Need a bit more informatio really, was the 4.7 system unicode enabled?

Think it might be connected with that, what information is the shortdump giving you?
