Rounding off issue

[Former Member]

Hi All,

In my program there is a stage where i am dividing an amount.

data: var_per type f.

var_per = 1 / 50,00,000.

the variable var_per will be declared as data type f, so taht it can hold even smallest value.

Now, the requirement is to round off the variable 'var_per'.

The value in var_per purely based on the denominator. At sometime, it may be 50,00,000 or even more.

As the denominator increase, the decimal value in var_per increases...

While rounding off, i should take care that, the rounded off figure should not become zero, due to high decimal value.

How to handle such scenario..???

Regards

Pavan

Hi,

Declare a variable as :

data : p_decimal(16) type p decimals 14.

p_decimal = 1 / 5000000. <-- this will round off and will not return zero.

define data type P.

Hie Pavan

Use a variable with of type p and here you can also maintain the number of decimal points yo require.

data: xfield type p decimals 2.
