Sorting issue with packed decimal

[former_member497886]

Hello experts,

I have a field in my internal table, which is of type p with decimal 2.

further i am creating a dynamic internal table and displaying it using OO ALV (cl_salv_table).

In the output when i am trying to sort this field via standard toolbar, it is not getting sorted properly.

for e.g. - values before sort

10.00

30.00

8.10

50.60

9.40

when i sort it in descending - the output comes as

9.40

8.10

50.60

30.00

10.00

in ascending -

10.00

30.00

50.60

8.10

9.40

I searched the forum, but couldn't find any solution. Your views will be really helpful.

Thanks

Hi.

Does your internal table have only this packed decimal field? Could you please show your code?

This raw example has no sorting issues.

DATA: v_pack TYPE p DECIMALS 2.


DATA: BEGIN OF it_vpack OCCURS 0,
         v_pack TYPE p DECIMALS 2,
      END OF it_vpack.


TYPES:BEGIN OF ty_vpack,
         v_pack TYPE p DECIMALS 2,
      END OF ty_vpack.


DATA:         dref    TYPE REF TO data.
DATA alv TYPE REF TO cl_salv_table.
DATA message TYPE REF TO cx_salv_msg.


FIELD-SYMBOLS: <itab> TYPE ANY TABLE.


v_pack = '10.00'.
MOVE v_pack TO it_vpack-v_pack.
APPEND it_vpack.




v_pack = '30.00'.
MOVE v_pack TO it_vpack-v_pack.
APPEND it_vpack.


v_pack = '8.10'.
MOVE v_pack TO it_vpack-v_pack.
APPEND it_vpack.


v_pack = '50.60'.
MOVE v_pack TO it_vpack-v_pack.
APPEND it_vpack.


v_pack = '9.40'.
MOVE v_pack TO it_vpack-v_pack.
APPEND it_vpack.




SORT it_vpack BY v_pack ASCENDING.








* dynamically create appropriate internal table


CREATE DATA dref TYPE TABLE OF ty_vpack.
ASSIGN dref->* TO <itab>.


* fetch the data
<itab>[] = it_vpack[].




TRY.
    cl_salv_table=>factory(
      IMPORTING
        r_salv_table = alv
      CHANGING
        t_table      = <itab> ).
  CATCH cx_salv_msg INTO message.
    " error handling


ENDTRY.
    DATA: gr_functions TYPE REF TO cl_salv_functions.
  gr_functions = alv->get_functions( ).
    gr_functions->set_all( abap_true ).


alv->display( ).     

Let us know.

Hope to help

Bye

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

The problem is resolved now.

Solution was to give the reference of DDIC field of decimal type while creating fieldcatalog.

Thanks
