Hello Daniel,

I think it is not possible.

... DECIMALS n

This addition only applies to field type P. The field has n

decimal places for calculations and display, where n can be

between 0 and 14.

Maybe a type float would help.

Hi Daniel,

Type P doesnt support 30 decimals so declare a structure which can take integral part and decimal part.

BUT this make calculations bit diffcult and you need to write code for all calculations.

TYPES:

BEGIN OF TY_DEC30,

INT_VALUE TYPE I,

SEPARATOR TYPE C VALUE '.',

DEC_VALUE(30),

END OF TY_DEC30.

DATA V_DEC30 TYPE TY_DEC30.

Thanks,

Vinay
