table maintenance

[Former Member]

Hi,

In the table maintenance that we created, there is a field X with type currency and we use event 01 so that we can insert some validations during change mode. My problem is that we need to get the field with currency type, but in event 01, the fields of internal table containing the contents of the table is in character type and the values of field X are not numbers but #s and other symbols. Is there any way I can convert this to its original value?

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

try PACK_CHAR_CONVERSION or CHAR_PACK_CONVERSION for the substring containing the amount.

Really no idea if it'll work.
