Re: CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY in a routine

Hi Paulo,

You are correct, SAP is not able to handle the exceeding data length. In the FM CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY the RATE ( RATE                                 = p   ) is of type UKURS_CURR field which is of 9 length with 5 decimal places. So if your input value exceeds this length FM will fail.

Define your data type P as UKURS_CURR.

i.e. DATA: p TYPE UKURS_CURR.

Then you should be good. However if you take it to SAP guys I doubt they will change it as it is a very generic FM which is used in almost every finance calculation in SAP so changing it will break SAP

Please let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks

Amit
