Sum statement.

[former_member225631]

Hi Friends,

I have one field in internal table with type p decimals 2. When sum statement is executed, this field causes short dump with the message "he values are too large for the designated field". How to solve this?

Thanks.

Debugg the report and check which value are actually sum by report. That's the easy option to get rid of such errors.

if sum = sum + value then check what is value data type and which value it contains at runtime.

Hi,

Increase the size of the packed decimal data type ..Might be the length is less and value is not fitting into it././

rewards if its solved.

Hi,

Increase the size of the variable where you are storing the result of the sum statement.

Also check for its data type.

Reward if useful.

Thanks and regards,

data:field type p decimals 2.

At last.

sum.

write itab-field.

endat.

I changed to type p decimals 14. Still it goes to short dump when sum statement is executed.

Give the length.

ex: field(20) type p decimals 2.

[former_member225631]

I tried field(16) type p decimals 2, still it gives short dump.

"the values are too large for the designated field".

( first i have mentioned.)

[Former Member]

when you are getting the dump by declaring the type p decimals 2 then try to calculate the sum in acharacter field.

data : tot(30).

sort itab by <your itab field(s)>.

loop at itab.

tot = tot + itab-amt.

at end of <your control break field>

write : / tot.

clear tot.

endat.

endloop.

it may fulfill your requirement.
