Unable to interpret "814,5 " as a number.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am receiving the message -> Unable to interpret "814,5 " as a number.

and getting Runtime error because of an assignment:

gv_maxpart = e_gefkat_res_tab-VERBRAUCH.

gv_maxpart is  DEC (decimal length 10,  places 4)

e_gefkat_res_tab-VERBRAUCH is char12

What has to be made ? I need this assignmwnt for a multiply statement

later.

HI..

change the data type for field e_gefkat_res_tab-VERBRAUCH to DEC (decimal length 10, places 4)

OR

use some other field (type simlar to gv_maxpart) instead of e_gefkat_res_tab-VERBRAUCH for the assignment

not possible because

e_gefkat_res_tab-VERBRAUCH contents the number what I need. Only problem this info

is stored as char instead dec. Therefore it is not possible to interpret "814,5 " as a number.

[former_member212653]

try this:

replace ','  in e_gefkat_res_tab-VERBRAUCH with '.'.

condense e_gefkat_res_tab-VERBRAUCH.
gv_maxpart = e_gefkat_res_tab-VERBRAUCH.

Hello,

the SAP internal decimal separator is "." and not ",".

example :

MOVE '814,5' TO gv_maxpart. ==> KO

MOVE '814.5' TO gv_maxpart. ==> OK

What you can do is to use for example TRANSLATE abap instruction :

TRANSLATE    e_gefkat_res_tab-VERBRAUCH USING ',.'.
gv_maxpart = e_gefkat_res_tab-VERBRAUCH.

Cordialement,

A number can not have more than one decimal separator as "2.567.8".

"." is the sap internal decimal separator.

So "2.567.8" has 2 decimal separator.

So that is normal to have an error message.

I have found the solutuion the right solution is:

C14W_CHAR_NUMBER_CONVERSION

Do the following:

Suppose you have nos. 814,5 and 2.567,8 - both of which are giving errors: Follow the following steps:

1. Move both the numbers to a character field.

2. Replace ',' by 'X'

3. Replace '.' by ','

4. Replace 'X' by '.'

5. Move both numbers to a numeric field.

Alternatiely try to change your default settings for decimal notations in System --> User profile --> Own Data --> Defaults.
