CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBE

Question

Hi All,
we are getting a short dump, can you please help me with this:
Runtime Errors         CONVT_NO_NUMBER
Exception              CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER', w
caught in
procedure "SEL_BINPUT" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
The program attempted to interpret the value "1,131.64 " as a number, but
since the value contravenes the rules for correct number formats,
this was not possible.
Whole numbers are represented in ABAP as a sequence of numbers, possibly
with an algebraic sign.
The following are the possibilities for the representation of floating
point numbers:
  [algebraic sign][mantissa]E[algebraic sign][exponent]
  [algebraic sign][whole number part].[fraction part]
For example, -12E+34, +12E-34, 12E34, 12.34
If the error occurred in your own ABAP program or in an SAP
program you modified, try to remove the error.
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
keywords:
"CONVT_NO_NUMBER" "CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER"
"SAPMF05B" or "MF05BFS0"
"SEL_BINPUT"
I looked into the notes but couldn't find any.
any help will be really appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Rajeev,
1,131.64 looks like the external (US-english) representation of a number. This cannot be implicitly converted to a numeric fomat.
You can convert the value before moving it to the target. We do this as follows (generic solution). Usulayy we use it for generic handling of editable grid input, but it could help in your context:
DATA:
    lv_type       TYPE string,
    lr_dat        TYPE REF TO data,
    ls_tabfield   TYPE tabfield,
    lv_tabname    TYPE tabname,
    lv_fieldname  TYPE fieldname,
    lv_field TYPE scrfname.
  FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <dat> TYPE ANY.
* find any structure or table field with characteristics for the internal value
    ls_tabfield-tabname = <table or structure of target field>.
    ls_tabfield-fieldname = <fieldname in above structure or table>.
    CONCATENATE <tbn> <col>
      INTO lv_type SEPARATED BY '-'.
* create a data object of the required type
    CREATE DATA lr_dat TYPE (lv_type).
    ASSIGN lr_dat->* TO <dat>.
    CALL FUNCTION 'RS_CONV_EX_2_IN'
      EXPORTING
         input_external                     = <Input value in external representation>
         table_field                        = ls_tabfield
*       CURRENCY                           = CURRENCY
      IMPORTING
        output_internal                    = <dat>
      EXCEPTIONS
* handle any error
