packed decimal auto conversion

[Former Member]

Hi

I have an input field that is of type P , with decimals 3.

so if I enter 3000 , then it will take 3.000 .

I want it to be so ,, when user enters 3 , it automatically converts it to 3.000 and if the user enters 3.2 , then it converts it to 3.200 , .

How can I achieve this.

Thankyou

hi Krish,

I use it at a program here like u said:

parameters: P1 type P decimals 3.

write p1.

when we enter a value, for example 3000, it automatically converts to "3.000,000", if enter a value 3 it converts to "3,000" and if enter a value "3,2" it converts to "3,200".

Can you tell me how do u are declaring this input field?

Do you need a "," or a "."?

Hi Allan

I am declaring the field as xyz type P decimals 3 .

It is actualyl an input field for an ALV.

I just want it to be eay for the user , so if he intends to pick 3 , then he only has to give 3 ,, hit enter and the value that automatically converted to 3,000 .

Thankyou

Hi,

If you have defined your input field as follows

parameters: text1 type p decimals 3.

then it should work as desired.

Krish,

do like this

parameters: P1(10) type P decimals 3.

but its better to go with

parameters: p1(10) type c. it will take care of everything.

Hi Krish,

I understand what you need, please look this code:

DATA: lenght(2), cont(2), contv(1), teste(1), lenghtv(1).

PARAMETERS: p1(10).

lenght = strlen( p1 ).

cont = 0.

contv = 0.

DO lenght TIMES.

teste = p1+cont(1).

cont = cont + 1.

IF teste = ',' OR teste = '.'.

contv = 1.

lenghtv = lenght - cont.

IF lenghtv = '0'.

CONCATENATE p1 '000' INTO p1.

ELSEIF lenghtv = '1'.

CONCATENATE p1 '00' INTO p1.

ELSEIF lenghtv = '2'.

CONCATENATE p1 '0' INTO p1.

ENDIF.

endif.

ENDDO.

if contv = 0.

CONCATENATE p1 ',000' INTO p1.

endif.

WRITE p1.
