Hi Ashein,

you can assign to real variable please find the below piece of code it will give your 149.20

Str string = "149.2";
real num;
num = Str2num(string);
info(strFmt("%1",num));

Crispin it was almost correct but when a str uses any2real it does'nt get the decimals.

And Guruprasanna, thanks it worked.

Thanks for both quick and good answers.

AX respests your Windows Regional and Location settings when it comes to string to decimal value conversion, thus it makes a difference for decimal separator, which is different between the US and majority of the EU contries (dot versus comma). When you provide the value directly as a constant in X++, it uses the comma as the separator as fixed text. When it is a string-based conversion, your locale matters.

It's an old thread but maybe this's be useful for someone:

Try to use Str2Num_RU() . It simple just put "." instead of ",".
