hi,

i have one standard text in smart form , in standard text i have data as follows:

&IDES_FORM-MSATZ(6)& &IDES_FORM-MDSHB& &IDES_FORDMSHB& &IDES_FORM&

now my requirement is : the sign for IDES_FORM-MSATZ has to be ignored, i.e. ir-respective of it being negative or positive it should always be displayed as positive.

Secondly as of now it is max 6 characters, it should allow 7..

thanks

rahul

Hi,

USe shift keyword to delete the negative sign at the beginning of your value as shown in the simple example.

Declare the number of characters as 8 since -ve sign also holds a character.

data: a(8) value '-1234'.

shift a left deleting leading '-'.

write: a.

Cheers!!

hi,

Put programlines before printing the value &IDES_FORM-MSATZ(6)&

and then write a code in the in the following way



if IDES_FORM-MSATZ LT 0.

IDES_FORM-MSATZ = IDES_FORM-MSATZ *  -1.

endif.

to allow 7 digits

insted of &IDES_FORM-MSATZ(6)&

give it as &IDES_FORM-MSATZ(7)&

&IDES_FORM-MSATZ(7)& <--OUTPUTS 7 CHAR

&IDES_FORM-MSATZ(S)& <-- REMOVES -VE SIGN

&IDES_FORM-MSATZ(7S)& <--ABOVE BOTH
