packed number to character conversion issue

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to assign a value with data type 'P' decimal 5 to a character type variable. But the character type variable is not taking the value.

I tried using MOVE and WRITE, but no success.

Please help. Its urgent.

Gaurav.

Try with,

C14DG_LB04                      
C14DG_CHAR_NUMBER_CONVERSION    
                                
C14W                            
C14W_CHAR_NUMBER_CONVERSION

Hi

It's strange, all these samples work fine:

PARAMETERS: P1 TYPE P DECIMALS 5.

DATA N(20) TYPE C.

START-OF-SELECTION.

  MOVE P1 TO N.

  WRITE: 'MOVE:', N.

  WRITE P1 TO N.

  WRITE: / 'WRITE', N.

  UNPACK P1 TO N.

  WRITE: / 'UNPACK', N.

Hi Gaurav,

I tried a small program and found no problem in moving the data. Just check the length of char field..or try this program

DATA: pack TYPE p DECIMALS 5,
      char(10) TYPE c.

pack = '5.00345'.
MOVE pack TO char.

WRITE char.

Hi,

what is the issue. Make sure that ur char variable is having sufficient length.

Check this code.

DATA: charec(20)  TYPE c ,
      typep  TYPE p DECIMALS 5 VALUE '12345.02545'.

charec =  typep.
CONDENSE charec.
WRITE: /1 charec,
       /1 typep.

Thanks,

Vinod.
