hi Veera,

declare the field that you are declaring it as char as type N or I....

<b>in that case do this way .. do all the arithematic caluclations that you wnat to do and put them in to I or N variable and then move them in to type C and print ..</b>

do all the arethimatic calculatiosn and store in some temporary I or N variables and then finally when you display them move them on to char variables...

Hi,

use an numeric type field and then move your value in character variable to this numeric field and then do the calculations.

if you have only numeric and without decimals,

use I or N.

DATA : V_INT type I.

v_int = v_char .

then use V_INT in your calculations

Hi Veera,

what are the values you have in that field...

use a temporary variable of type i in between and do the additions..

again output it as char...

As to my understanding of your issue...can you please let us know if all the rows have some characters or the field always starts with some character and digits at the end(which you wish to sum) or there can some rows with char and some with digits and you need to sum only the digit ones ??

hi

according to condtion this char(nd) is comming in display ,if condtion = yes ,nd will be placed there, otherwise nu(quantity) will be comming...

it can come in any place..

U can do the following...

loop at itab.

if itab-f1(2) = 'NU'.

lnum = itab-f1+2(10).

lsum = lnum + lsum.

endif.

endloop.

Here lsum will give u the total.
