hi.....

for this thing if you are getting the value in data object W_VALUE

GO FOR FOLLOWING STATMENT BEFORE YOU GO FOR DISPLAY OR PROCESSING THIS WILL GIVE YOU A VALUE WITHOUT SIGN IF ANY IS THERE

W_VALUE = ABS( W_VALUE ).

REGARDS

Hi Shruthi,

Use:

value = value * -1.

Or

value1 = ABS(value).

Hi,

Please Test the following Sample Code and try to use ABS rather than multiply by -1 if you need all the Values Positive because if you will use Multiply by -1 it will convert your Positive Values to Minus Too.

DATA: BEGIN OF it OCCURS 5,
  amount TYPE i,
  END OF it.

it-amount = '75'.
APPEND it TO it.
it-amount = '-12'.
APPEND it TO it.
it-amount = '-20'.
APPEND it TO it.
it-amount = '55'.
APPEND it TO it.


LOOP AT it into it.

  it-amount = abs( it-amount ).
  MODIFY it from it.
  WRITE: / it-amount.

ENDLOOP.

Hi All,

Thanks for your replies.

value = ABS( value )

ABS = Absolute value of the argument

[kesavadas_thekkillath]

multiply it by -1
