114,3200 - (a negative value),when i copy it to a

float value,the -ve sign is lost,how do i retain -ve value

for a float value.

hi Hedge,

Try taking that value to type p and then pass it to type f .. i guess this way it should work ..

Hi,

check this :

this is working for me.

data x_test(10) type c,
     x_result type p.

x_test = '1143200 -'.

move x_test to x_result.

write x_result.

hi,

Try this code.

data: v_char(10) type c value '2,389.56-',

v_float type f.

translate v_char using ', '.

translate v_char using '. '.

condense v_char no-gaps.

v_float = v_char.

write 😕 v_float.
