PLEASE ADVISE: Formatting decimal data

[Former Member]

I have a report that needs to display the DEC16_3 value

19837000.000

Like this

19,837,000.00

I thought the following would work:

write gt_cpr_report-covered_volume          to gv_str_covered_volume          right-justified decimals 2.

But, instead, it write it like this:

19837,000.00

I've NO idea why it displayed like that. What's the easiest way to display a value with thousands separator with two digits?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Try like this:

data: p_dec3 type DEC16_3,
      p_dec2 type p decimals 2.

p_dec3 = '12345678.900'.
write:  p_dec3.

p_dec2 = p_dec3.
write: / p_dec2.

Steve,

I think your problem is the result of your output field not being large enough to hold the results of the write statement. The following code ...

DATA: input(9) TYPE p DECIMALS 3 VALUE '19837000.000',
      output1(13) TYPE c,
      output2(20)  TYPE c.
WRITE input  TO output1
  left-JUSTIFIED DECIMALS 2.
write: / output1.
WRITE input  TO output2
  left-JUSTIFIED DECIMALS 2.
write: / output2.

... results in output as follows:

19837,000.00

19,837,000.00

I hope this helps ...
