Max value for a varaible

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have a program with a variable used to store percentage , so let us assume ithas length 6 with 2 decimal places .

What i would like to know is there some command or a FM which can give me the max value that can be stored in this varaible . I do not want to write to much code or hardcode the value in the program .

Regards

Hi Arun,

Yo can use the FM 'MAXIMAL_VALUE_GET' for this.

Eg: Here I wanto calculate the max value for variable 'max'

DATA: max(5) TYPE p DECIMALS 3.

CALL FUNCTION 'MAXIMAL_VALUE_GET'
     IMPORTING
          e_value = max. 


WRITE: / max.

o/p: 999999,999

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Manoj Kumar P
