Hi,

Try to multiply your value by -1.

Mohana,

Try this..

KNOV-KWERT = -1 * KNOV-KWERT.

Mohana,

Just declare another variable , say i.

then i = konv-kwert * -1.

Just do the following:

KONV-KWERT = KONV-KWERT * -1.

This will invert the positive value into a negative one and vice versa.

Also Do Like this..

Just By Subtracting 0..

KONV-KWERT = 0 - KONV-KWERT.
