How to read number of digits in a given decimal number by using abap

[Former Member]

Hi ,

How can we read the number of digits present in a decimal number , just before decimal.

For example: I have this number - 200.00

Now I want to read how many digits are present in this number before decimal ( . ) point. so in this case the number of digits are 3( 200). Similarly if we have a number 15.00, in this case number of digits is 2 ( 15 ) before decimal point.

How can i acheive this by using abap.

Hi Pg,

you can try this code:

DATA: decimal(3) type p decimals 2,
        no_decimal type i,
        no_dec_char(10),
        len type i.

START-OF-SELECTION.


decimal = '200.24'.
no_decimal = decimal.

no_dec_char = no_decimal.

condense no_dec_char no-gaps.
len = strlen( no_dec_char ).

Hi

try this

suppose your variable v_data has value as 200.20

declare new variable v_data1.

use split statement as below

split v_data at '.' into v_data1.

hope this will work.

Thanks

Hi

suppose your variable v_data has value as 200.20

declare new variable v_data1.

use split statement as below

split v_data at '.' into v_data1.

and then you can find the length of v_data1 using STRLN

then write your write statement to print the result.

hope this will work.

Hi

There are differenent logics available.The previous reply was really good. get another way also.

Data: v_dec type p decimals 3,

v_temp type char20,

v1 type char10,

v2 type char10,

v_len type i.

v_temp = v_dec.

split v_dec at '.' into v1 v2 .

condense v1 no-gaps.

len = strlen( v1 ).
