conversion of decimals

[Former Member]

hi everybody

i have 2 values, x of type 9,5 decimals

and y 17, 3 decimals

i want to convert x to y, is there a special fm to do that?

Just use MOVE and it should work. Surely, the decimals would be truncated as y has 3 places as compared to 5 for x.

hi Anjali,

Try with Move or assignement operator .. it works

Sai Anjali,

If your problem is resolved please close the thread and it would be nice if you reward points to all helpful answers.

Myself and Santosh did say the same thing but unfortunately you did not like the answers to award points !!
