DATA: a TYPE y_minvalue, "pre-defined type DEC

b TYPE ddb_c04-atwrt VALUE '9,4'. "type CHAR(30)

*a = b.

MOVE b TO a.

WRITE:/ a,b.

I want to assign the value of 'b' to 'a'. here it is giving dump. can anyone help me.

pavan,

Hi,

Is it mandatory to have 'a' declared as DEC. Else, u can declare 'a' as field symbol type any and move contents of 'b' to 'a'.

Reward if helpful.

Hi Pavan,

U can use

WRITE A TO B AS DECIMEL.

instead of

move to b.

Thanks Arjun

Hi

You need to convert the ddb_c04 into either DEC or the DEC to char

and use the FM to convert the same

ISM_CONVERT_CHAR_TO_DEC

Pavan,

Even if you change the decinal notation settings the acceptable format that to convert char to P is 1,234,567.89

So it doesn't allow any other formats while type convertions.......

Try this way...

DATA: a TYPE ddb_c04-atwrt, "pre-defined type DEC

b TYPE ddb_c04-atwrt VALUE '9.4'. "type CHAR(30)

*a = b.

MOVE b TO a.

WRITE:/ a,b.

or else define the desired maximum length after the decimal point and try this way

DATA: a TYPE p decimals 5, "pre-defined type DEC

b TYPE ddb_c04-atwrt VALUE '9.4'. "type CHAR(30)

*a = b.

MOVE b TO a.

WRITE:/ a,b.
