Documentation
Definition
If you select this option, all calculations in the program are performed using fixed point arithmetic.
Packed numbers (ABAP type P, Dictionary types CURR, DEC, or QUAN) are rounded to whole numbers, regardless of the number of decimal places defined. Similarly, all intermediate results in arithmetic expressions are rounded to the next whole number. The number of decimal places is only observed in the WRITE statement.
