Hi Friends,

I'm new to abap, i've a req where i need to see the sign of a particular field named receivable amt,

its values are : -100, 500, 340, -220

if its a - sign in front it should be assigned to a field named A else assigned to B. i don't need to worry about the values, just the sign. how to do it in abap.

Just check if its less than 0.

report zrich_0001.

data: a_value type i.
data: b_value type i.

parameters: the_val type i.


if the_val < 0.
  a_value = the_val.
else.
  b_value = the_val.
endif.

write:/ 'A_VALUE', a_value.
write:/ 'B_VALUE', b_value.

thanks rich. just checking the value < 0 or not should do it.
