Convert long char-number into p results in overflow

[Former Member]

Hi,

how can i convert a long char into a p-number? The following code works fine for numbers up to 13 places. All above 13 decimal places results in a dump "Overflow when converting from ".

  DATA AMOUNT_C(20) TYPE C.
  DATA AMOUNT_P TYPE P DECIMALS 2.

  AMOUNT_C = '1234567890123,12'.
  REPLACE ',' IN AMOUNT_C WITH '.'.
  AMOUNT_P = AMOUNT_C.

Thanks,

Daniel

It should work,beyond 16 char you might get dump,but not in 13 char.

REPORT zztemp.
DATA AMOUNT_C(20) TYPE C.
  DATA AMOUNT_P TYPE P DECIMALS 2.
START-OF-SELECTION.
  AMOUNT_C = '1234567890123,12'.
  REPLACE ',' IN AMOUNT_C WITH '.'.
  AMOUNT_P = AMOUNT_C.
  WRITE:AMOUNT_P.

This code works ok for me.

DATA amount_c(20) TYPE c.
DATA amount_p TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

START-OF-SELECTION.
  amount_c = '12345678901234,12'.  " added one more char it does not work
  REPLACE ',' IN amount_c WITH '.'.
  amount_p = amount_c.
  WRITE:amount_p.

Thats why i said

its can have 16 places.

F1 help says:

p 1 to 16 bytes 8 bytes Packed number

Flip your Code like:

REPORT zztemp.
DATA AMOUNT_C(20) TYPE C.
  DATA AMOUNT_P TYPE TTET_AMOUNT_CURR_PD."look here
START-OF-SELECTION.
  AMOUNT_C = '1234567890123123,12'.
  REPLACE ',' IN AMOUNT_C WITH '.'.
  AMOUNT_P = AMOUNT_C.
  WRITE:AMOUNT_P.

amount_c = '1234567890123'4',12'.  " Does danial Had '4' in his first post?

gOtz U!!

Hi Daniel 1234567890123,12 reached the saturation of Type P.

[former_member194669]

For type "P", a maximum length specification of 16 is allowed.

Hi,

thanks for this explanation. I was not aware the comma and decimal places are also being taken into account.

So what can i do to extend the amount of digits being processed?

I tried using float, but this results in max 15 digits (without decimal places). Is there any way to go further?

Another constraint i have: Later on i need to pass the data into a p again, so i'm really confused why the code below works at all, as the Float "amount_p" is being moved to a p-type again.

Any hints are welcome.

REPORT  ZP_DPU_TEST.

DATA AMOUNT_C(20) TYPE C.
DATA AMOUNT_P TYPE f.
DATA AMOUNT(9) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

AMOUNT_C = '123456789012345,23'.
REPLACE ',' IN AMOUNT_C WITH '.'.
AMOUNT_P = AMOUNT_C.

amount = AMOUNT_P.

WRITE:/ amount.

best regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

In your Case Type P or Type F cannot be used.Because they have certain limitation with their Length,which is not suffcient in your case.

So you may use Below Data element(UC_IPA_GCIC_RET) like:

Use this Data element

REPORT:test.
data: char TYPE char20  VALUE '123456789012345,23',
      num type UC_IPA_GCIC_RET .
CALL FUNCTION 'MOVE_CHAR_TO_NUM'
  EXPORTING
    chr                   = char
 IMPORTING
   NUM                   = num.
WRITE: num.

It shoud work for your Case anyhow.

Cheers,

Amit.
