How does the SORT function in ALV grid work?

Former Member — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 05:15:52 GMT

Hi,

I have a report for which the o/p is displayed in ALV grid format.There is one column in the O/p strcuture which is "No of days".Based on certain conditions,i need to display the value for some of the days as Negative e.g. " - 45".Becasuse of this,I have declared the field for the "No of days" of the type "CHAR".

Now when i sort(using ALV grid SORT function) the list on basis of this column,it doesnt give me the correct o/p.

CAN anyone tell me how do i handle this?I want the list to be sorted correctly on basis of the "No of days" column.

Thanks!

Hi,

In my report o/p,I need to display only some values for the field "No of days" as Negatiive i.e. in form of

"-45".

Hence I cannot use EDIT_MASK option in field catalog.It will display all the values with that format("- ___").

Please help.
