What is scaling in SAP BC-ABA - ABAP Runtime Environment?

SAP Term: scaling

• Component: BC-ABA

• Component Name: ABAP Runtime Environment

• Description: Attribute of a decimal floating point number. A decimal floating point number can be regarded as a whole number of a predefined length that is scaled by the division by a power of ten that determines the number of decimal places. The negative exponent of a decimal floating point number is referred to as scaling when it is used on the mantissa. With positive scaling, it is equivalent to the number of decimal places. Decimal floating point numbers of the same value can have different scaling. Operations on decimal floating point numbers generally preserve the scaling and therefor the number of decimal places. A predefined function for changing the scaling is rescale. See also precision.
