When PUT change a record of type float, with a value over 1000000 the value gets changed to 1000000.
This bug was fixed, see Antonio comment above

I'm trying to convert a character variable to a numeric variable, but unfortunately i'm really struggeling. Help would be appreciated!
I keep getting the following error: 'Invalid argument to function INPUT at line 3259 column 17'
Syntax:
Data want;
Set have;
Dosis_num = input(Dosis, best12.);
run;
I have also tried multiplying the variable by 1. This doesnt work either.
The variable looks like this:
Dosis
155
201
2.1
0.8
123.80
12.0
3333.4
00.6
Want:
Dosis_num
155.0
201.0
2.1
0.8
123.8
12.0
333.4
0.6
Thanks alot!
The code will work with the data you show. So either the values in the character variable are not what you think or you are not using the right variable name for the variable.
The code is trying to only use the first 12 bytes of the character variable. Normally you don't need to restrict the number of characters you ask the INPUT() function to use. In fact the INPUT() function does not care if the width of the informat used is larger than the length of the string being read. So just use 32. as the informat since 32 is the maximum width that the normal numeric informat can read. Note that BEST is the name of a FORMAT, if you use it as the name of informat it is just an alias for the normal numeric informat.
If the variable has a length longer than 12 then perhaps there are leading spaces in the variable (note the ODS output displays do not properly display leading spaces) then use the LEFT() function to remove them.
Dosis_num = input(left(Dosis), 32.);
The typical thing to do here is to find out what's actually in the character variable. There is likely something in there that is causing the issue.
Try this:
data have;
input #1 Dosis $8.;
datalines;
155
201
2.1
0.8
123.80
12.0
3333.4
00.6
;;;;
run;
data check;
set have;
put dosis hex32.;
run;
What I get is this:
83 data check;
84 set have;
85 put dosis hex32.;
86 run;

All those 2020202020 are spaces, which should be there (all strings are space-padded to full length). Period/Decimal Point is 2E, Digits are 3x where x is the digit (because the ASCII for 0 is 30, not because of any other reason). So for example for the last one, 00.6, 30 means zero, 30 means zero, 2E means period, and 36 means 6.
Check to make sure that you don't have any other characters other than digits (3x) and period (2e) and space (20).
The other thing to verify is that your system is set to use . as the decimal separator and not , as many European systems are - otherwise this requires the commaw. informat. You can actually just try the commaw. informat (comma12. is sufficient if 12 is plenty - and don't include anything after the period) as anything that 12. can read in also can be read in by commaw..
I want to put currency amount field blank instead of 0.00.
ALV: NO_ZERO = abap_true in fieldcatalog structure LVC_S_FCAT
SALV: call method SET_ZERO of class CL_SALV_COLUMN (you need to get the columns reference, google code examples)
Sapscript/Smartforms: use flag I (suppress initial value output) as in &ZAMOUNT(I)&
WRITE statement: Add NO-ZERO before the .
String templates: lv_string = |{ lv_amnt ZERO = NO }|.
I just want to ask on how to solve my problem.
On my report window, 2 computed fields:
1. A field that computes for decimal and I am displaying it to two decimals only (no problem on the display).
2. On my other computed field, I use the result of the first computed field to be multiplied to a certain number. The problem is here, because the value being multiplied is not the value being displayed from the first field. Instead it uses the whole amount.
Scenario:
2,055,232.135 is the computed value and id displays 2,055,232.14 which is good.
But if i multiply it to 9 (2055232.135 * 9), the result is 18,497,089.215 which will be displayed as 18,497,089.22
The problem is I want that the displayed value (2,055,232.14) to be multiplied to 9 (2055232.14 * 9) which will then results to 18,497,089.26
I only wanted to achieve the 2nd value for the computed field so that if the user computes for it, it will be equal.
The following solution can be used in a computed field:
String( Truncate( 2055232.135 * 9, 2), "#,##0.00")
I have a table with a varbinary(max) column, i am trying to assign to that column a zero-lengh binary buffer, but instead of getting a zero-length value in the table, i am getting an 8000 bytes long value filled with zeros:
* the dataSize column in the shown query was added using DATALENGHT(data) ("SELECT _index, dataSize=DATALENGHT(data), data FROM....") and shows the actual size on the table of the value
Where does the 8000 bytes long empty buffer come from? is this some kind of default behavior?
If your source column is binary(8000), then DATALENGTH(data) will return 8000 (it is fully padded) and data will contain the full 8000 bytes.
But since you are using
SELECT _index, dataSize=DATALENGTH(data), data FROM
It cannot be a binary(8000) column - because a fixed size column will report the same datalength for all rows. It is likely some data was copied there from a BINARY(8000) variable or other means some time in the past.
Sometimes ABAP drives me crazy with really simple tasks such as incrementing an integer within a loop...
Here's my try:
METHOD test.
DATA lv_id TYPE integer.
lv_id = 1.
LOOP AT x ASSIGNING <y>.
lv_id = lv_id+1.
ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD.
This results in the error message Field type "I" does not permit subfield access.
You already answered the question yourself, but to make things a bit clearer:
variable + 1
is an arithmetic expression - add 1 to the value of the variable.
variable+1
is an offset operation on a character variable. For example, if variable contains ABC, variable+1 is BC.
This can be especially confusing when dealing with NUMCs. For example, with variable = '4711', variable + 1 is evaluated to 4712, whereas variable+1 is '711' (a character sequence).
The error you saw occurred because it's not possible to perform the index operation on a non-character-like variable.
You mean like:
ADD 1 to lv_id.
By the way, when you loop over an internal table, SY-TABIX has the loop counter.
Uh, I got it.
It's the f****** spaces...
lv_id = lv_id + 1
works...
Simple
DATA : gv_inc type I .
place this statement in loop
gv_inc = gv_inc + 1 .
from SAP NetWeaver Version 7.54 you can also use:
lv_id += 1.
Instead of
lv_id = lv_id + 1.
Happy coding!
If you are going to increment every loop cycle than you can directly get the table size.
describe table x lines data(lv_id). "Out side of the loop.
