Problem with fixed point arithmetic

[Former Member]

HI guys,

fixed point arithemtic in my program is unticked and I want it that way. But I have a question on what's the explanation behind this issue

v_netprice like LIPS-NETPR

v_net value like bapiitemin-req_qty

v_qty type lips-lgmng

v_net_value = 436927.2000

v_qty = 240.000

v_netprice = v_net_value / v_qty.

In v_netprice, I am getting 1.8205... Why is this so?

Thanks a lot!

hi Mark,

I have tried the below code on my system and i am getting the value correctly ...

data : v_netprice type NETPR,
v_net_value type NETPR,
v_qty type lips-lgmng.

v_net_value = '436927.2000'.
v_qty = '240.000'.

v_netprice = v_net_value / v_qty.

write : v_netprice.

look at the field description for field bapiitemin-req_qty

'Order qty in sales units - 00009001 corresponds to 9.001'

Might be U got the result as .. 1820.5.. but it is showing as

1.8205 ..

Hi Mark,

If you mark this checkbox, *all caluculations in the program will use fixed point arithmetic

If you do not, packed numbers (ABAP/4 type P, Dictionary types CURR, DEC or QUAN) will be treated as integers when they are used in assignments, comparisons and calculations, irrespective of the number of decimal places defined. Intermediate results in arithmetic calculations will also be rounded to the next whole number. The number of decimal places defined is only taken into account when you output the answer using the WRITE statement.
