I have a screen field type DEC. I have two modes, EDIT and DISPLAY. In EDIT mode, when i enter 0.00 into this screen field and press save, the value displayed is BLANK and not '0.00' as required. In DISPLAY mode the value is displayed correctly as '0.00'.</P><P> I tried changing the screen field to type CHAR. But the same field variable is declared as TYPE 'p' for underlying calculations. Thus it gives me an 'SCREEN FORMAT ERROR'. </P><P> Any ideas how to diplay '0.00' in the decimal field in EDIT mode?</P><P></P><P>Awaiting your responses.</P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Sandeep</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 31 Aug 2006 01:32:23 GMT Former Member 2006-08-31T01:32:23Z Decimal Fields in screen https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/decimal-fields-in-screen/m-p/1491739#M228714 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,</P><P> I have developed a Module pool program.

You can not get around this using the decimal field. Your only solution is to make are character field on the screen as well as character field in the underlying program. </P><P></P><P>Regards,</P><P>Rich Heilman</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 31 Aug 2006 01:55:10 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/decimal-fields-in-screen/m-p/1491740#M228715 RichHeilman 2006-08-31T01:55:10Z
