Negative value on table control

Former Member — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 09:19:39 GMT

Hello @ll,

when I try to put out a negative value in a table control field I get a short dump because the output field is too short. But it's long enough. I assume that the problem is the minus right beside the value. The output field is as a currency field defined and if I delete the minus in debugging mode than it works without short dump. Is there any possibility to put out a negative value in a currency field?

Thanks for any helpful responses

Chris

BEFORE SHOWING THE DATA IN TABL CNTRL.

LOOP AT ITAB.

IF ITAB-AMT LT 0.

ITAB-AMT = ITAB-AMT * (-1).

ENDIF.

MODIFY ITAB.

ENDLOOP.

OR YOU CAN USE ABS FN ALSO.

Sorry I forgot to mention... but I have to display the negative value in the table control field!!! So I think I have to insert an extra column only for the minus sign... or is there a better idea???

declare another itab and change the currecy field to fields of type char.

move the data from original itab to this itab and in the process

conver

newitab-currenyfield = originalitab-currency * -1 .

concatenate '-' newitab-currenyfield into newitab-currenyfield .

now use this new modifed itab in table control.

YOU CAN DO ONE THING IF YOU ARE NOT DOING ANY CALCULATION OR SOMTHING JUST TAKE THE CURRENCY FIELD TO A CHACTER TYPE FIELD AND SHOW THAT CHARACTER TYPE FIELD.
