convert a character field with decimal and thousand in a integer

Posted on Oct 08, 2010 at 06:19 AM 14 Views

Hi chaps,

very simple?

I have to convert a character field for ex. '1,254.36 ' into a integer filed, make a calculation and give it back in the same format for screen display or any thing else. (it is in a user-exit => no choice)

Careful for a EUropean user the fields is '1,254.36' BUT the exit may be called by a US citizen and then you have '1.254,36'

Oh, yes, I forgot after the calculation, the fields has to be returned back in the same format

Do you have any ready to use function or any help?

Regards Vincent
