Parameters restriction for Float type

[joseph_manjiyil]

I want to get a value from the user which is Float type from the selection screen. But the parameters statement doesn't allow the float type value. So please suggest me an alternative to this restriction.Please be clear in your reply as I am new to SAP.

Well, the only alternative I can think off is to use Type P. This will not give you exponentials but will take care of the decimals.

PARAMETERS  p_var1 TYPE LENGTH 10 DECIMALS 8.
