packed number

Numeric data type for saving fixed point numbers with a fixed number of decimal places or a number saved in a similar way. The associated predefined ABAP type is p. The number of decimal places is a property of the data type and not (as with floating point numbers) a property of the data itself. Calculations with packed numbers are made using fixed point arithmetic. The internal representation uses the BCD format.
