Problem with Decimal Places

[Former Member]

Hi,

When I debug the code the following is what I get;

subtotal_price = wa_subtotl-J_3AFKIMG * grade_A_price.

wa_subtotl-J_3AFKIMG -> 15.000 (TYPE p DECIMALS 3 / This field is for Quantity and 3 decimal places is a must)

grade_A_price -> 2.20 (TYPE p DECIMALS 2 / This is Price)

subtotal_price -> 33000.00 (TYPE p DECIMALS 2 / Multiplication of Qty and Price)

Why the "subtotal_price" appear as "33000.00" when it should be "33", how ro solve this issue?

Thanks,

Hi,

Did u debug and check what value each fields are taking

wa_subtotl-J_3AFKIMG * grade_A_price.

Check it in debugging mode so that u will get an idea.

It has to come as 33.00 as u have defined as type p 2 decimals.

Hi Kishan,

Is it possible for you to paste us a bit more of your code? I made a small test with your values and it works fine (result is 33,00):

REPORT  Z_TEST.

data: subtotal_price type p decimals 2,
      grade_A_price  type p decimals 2,
      wa_subtotl     type p decimals 3.

grade_A_price = '15.000'.
wa_subtotl = '2.20'.

subtotal_price = wa_subtotl * grade_A_price.

write: / subtotal_price.

Hi,

Try this example

TYPES: myamount   TYPE p DECIMALS 2,
       amt1       TYPE p decimals 3,
       amt2       TYPE p decimals 3.

DATA: amount      TYPE myamount,
      damt1     TYPE amt1,
      damt2  type amt2.

damt1 = '15.000'.
damt2 = '2.20'.


amount = damt1 * damt2.
WRITE:  amount.

Output is 33.00

Hi,

Look at the following Pgm.It works fine for me.

REPORT  YTEST_VEN1.
 data: x type p decimals 3,
       y type p decimals 2,
       z type p decimals 2.

x = '15.000'.
y = '2.20'.

z = x * y.

write:/ z.
