False calculation result

Question

Hello expert,
                   I make an enhancement in PO when i make some calculation the result get zero as the example below
SELECT SINGLE NETWR
   FROM ESSR
   INTO EKKO_VAL
   WHERE EBELN = WA-EBELN
     AND EBELP = WA-EBELP.
   SELECT SINGLE BRTWR
   FROM EKPO
   INTO EKPO_VAL
   WHERE EBELN = WA-EBELN
     AND EBELP = WA-EBELP.
EKKO_VAL = 15000,00
EKPO_VAL = 50000,00
BALANCE = EKKO_VAL / EKPO_VAL .
BALANCE must be 0.03 but it is coming zero ,any body can help ,thanks.

If the enhancement belongs to a program with the flag "fixed point arithmetic" switched off, you will get 0. If it is switched on, you will get 0.30.
In older ABAP programs, find the "fixed point arithmetic" flag switched off. In more recent programs, and when creating new programs, the flag will be switched on by default.
If "fixed point arithmetic" is switched off, all decimal points will be ignored, and all intermediate results will be rounded to integers.
data: x type p length 7 decimals 2,
         y type p length 7 decimals 2,
         z type p length 7 decimals 2.
   x = '15000.00'.
   y = '50000.00'.
   z = x / y.
write z. " --> 0.30 with fixed point arithmetic, 0.00 without fixed point arithmetic
