Data type field length problem

Former Member — Mon, 08 Aug 2005 18:11:02 GMT

Hi,

I am facing a problem while printing a field from a custom structure whose data type is curr.

The amount field I am trying to print is following:

161,460.00

But what gets printed is:

*1460.00

The Component type I was using for this field was DMBTR and its domain was WERT7 in the custom structure.

I changed the component type to DMSHW from DMBTR so that the new length will be 17 instead of 13 in case of DMBTR.

I also activated the structure after modifying it.

Still it prints *1460.00

Can someone tell me the solution to this ?

Relevant points will be awarded.

Hi Tushar,

This happens when print area can not hold full value. Check your target, where you are trying to print this value. Is it only 8 characters wide ?

Cheers,
