Data transfer from text file to internal table

Question

Hi, i am uploading data from a text file to an internal table itab.
one of the field in the text file is in the format of p(7,2).
while uploading , this is not not getting uploaded correctly,
for ex instead of uploading 00008.00 in the itab, it gives a strange value of 30303030382>3.03. how to correct this?
pls help

Hello Rahul,
Do the following:
types: begin of ty_upload,
         string type string,
       end of ty_upload.
types: begin of ty_fields,
         text1(20),
         wert      type p decimals 2,
         text2(20),
       end of ty_fields.
data: it_upload type table of ty_upload,
      it_fields type table of ty_fields,
      wa_upload type ty_upload,
      wa_fields type ty_fields.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
  EXPORTING
    filename                      = 'C:\aa_upload.txt'
   FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
IMPORTING
  FILELENGTH                    =
  HEADER                        =
  tables
    data_tab                      = it_upload
EXCEPTIONS
  FILE_OPEN_ERROR               = 1
Populate the internal table it_fields accordingly in a loop run, e.g.
loop at it_upload into wa_upload.
  wa_fields-text1 = wa_upload-string(20).
  wa_fields-wert  = wa_upload-string+20(10).
  wa_fields-text2 = wa_upload-string+30.
  append wa_fields to it_fields.
endloop.
When your offsets are set correctly, there shouldn't be any problem.
