Format to 3 decimal places

Former Member

Hi all,

I want any given number to be formatted to 3 decimal places.

For example:

1.3 => 1.300

2.35 => 2.350

that's simple, but I want whole numbers to be converted like:

12 => 0.012

56324 => 56.324

How can I achieve this?

Greetings Fred.

data : num type p decimals 3.

data : text(13).

<take the variable value in num>

text = num.

if text cp '*.000'."check whether it is a whole no or decimal if whole no then

"only devide

num = num / 1000.

endif.

<b>write w_value round 3.</b>

U will get the required output.

divide them by 1000

data : v_num type p decimals 3 value '12'.

v_num = v_num / 1000.

HI Fred,

do this way ..

   DATA : V_P(10) TYPE P DECIMALS 3.

V_P = 12 / 1000.

*V_P = V_P * '0.001'.

  WRITE V_P.

dear why u try to do this?

any way try with this

DATA : NUM1 TYPE P DECIMALS 3.

DATA : NUM2 TYPE P DECIMALS 3.

NUM1 = 12.

NUM2=56324.

NUM1 = NUM1/1000.

NUM2=NUM1/1000.

Hi all,

thanx for the answers. I have not checked all of them, but I think the answer with the check if there is already a decimal can help me.

To all who simply divide the given number do not take into account that I want a number like 1.5 just as 1.500 and not 0.0015.

Greetings Fred.

then easy

DATA : NUM1 TYPE I

DATA : NUM2 TYPE P DECIMALS 3.

NUM1 = 12.14.

NUM2 = NUM1.

SO NUM SHOULD BE 12.140.

REWARDS IF HELPFUL.

Hi Try it in this way

DATA : NUM1 TYPE P DECIMALS 3.
NUM1 = NUM1 / 1000.
WRITE:/ NUM1.

You will get the desired value
