Regarding data conversions

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a numeric value eg: 123456789123456.1234567

I am getting it into my program using BAPI so it is converted into float and i am getting it as 1.234567891E+14

I want to convert it to char and i want to display it as

123456789123456.1234567

Is there any FM available for this.

Regards,

Ravi

Hi,

Write the statemetn as below.

v_float = 1.234567891E+14.

WRITE: V_FLOAT EXPONENT 0 DECIMALS 0 TO V_FLOAT

Try moving it to a TYPE P field.

For eg

data: p type p decimals 3. (Choose decimal places based upon data)

data: f type f.

p = f.

Write:/ p.

hi ,

The value range of type F numbers is 1x10*-307 to 1x10*308 for positive and negative numbers, including 0 (zero). The accuracy range is approximately 15 decimals, depending on the floating point arithmetic of the hardware platform. Since type F data is internally converted to a binary system, rounding errors can occur. Although the ABAP processor tries to minimize these effects, you should not use type F data if high accuracy is required. Instead, use type P data.

You use type F fields when you need to cope with very large value ranges and rounding errors are not critical.

hence u cannot avoid the rounding errors when you convert it to pack type.

use the fm

KKEK_CONVERT_FLOAT_TO_CURR

MURC_ROUND_FLOAT_TO_PACKED

or take it in type p variable.

data : v_p type p decimals 6.

v_p = <your float value>
