Get First 4 digits from a field

[atharva21k]

i Want to get the first 4 digits of the number in have please refer to the following code.

w_1 LIKE PRCD_ELEMENTS-kbetr, (20.000000000)

w_2(5) TYPE c,

MOVE w_1 TO w_2.

REPLACE '.' WITH ',' INTO w_taux2.

so the output expected is 20.00

You just assign like this

w_2 = w_1+0(5).

result:

w_2 = 20.00

I think it will solve your problem

w_1 is a pack decimal format

W_2 is a char

[Sandra_Rossi]

Please format your code like that:

DATA:
w_1 LIKE PRCD_ELEMENTS-kbetr, (20.000000000)
w_2(5) TYPE c,

MOVE w_1 TO w_2.

REPLACE '.' WITH ',' INTO w_taux2.

(Please edit your question, select your code and press the button [CODE], which makes the code appear colored/indented, it will be easier for people to look at it. Thank you!)

Note that first 3 of 4 lines of your code are OBSOLETE. You should use TYPE instead of LIKE, LENGTH should be used, MOVE is obsolete.

DATA:
w_1 TYPE PRCD_ELEMENTS-kbetr, (20.000000000)
w_2 TYPE c LENGTH 5,

w_2 = w_1.

It is recommended to keep LIKE

[Sandra_Rossi]

Concerning TYPE/LIKE, when you use ABAP Objects (subroutines are obsolete), you get syntax error:

Only use "TYPE" to refer to ABAP Dictionary types, not "LIKE" or "STRUCTURE".

Oh, and to get data in an output format, use WRITE. Don't manipulate strings yourself.

Hi atharva kate,

Do you need to get the value with 2 decimals only?

If that is the situation, you can do this:

- Create a variable with type p decimals 2.

- Assign the value to the new variable.

You are going to get 20.00.

- Create a new variable TYPE string.

- Assign the last value to the string var.

- Use the replace statement.
