hii frnds

well i am geting a dump when i am scrolling down the output of my program

the dump message is

A conversion error occurred while the program was trying to

display data on the screen.

The ABAP output field and the screen field may not have the

same format.

Some field types require more characters on the screen than

in the ABAP program. For example, a date field on a screen needs

two characters more than it would in the program. When attempting to

display the date on the screen, an error will occur that triggers the

error message.

Screen name.............. "SAPMZCFORM"

Screen number............ 9001

Screen field............. "WA_ZCFORM-NETWR"

Error text............... "FX015: Sign lost."

can anybody help me wid this

thanking u

rohit

hi rohit,

declare this varible WA_ZCFORM-NETWR of length 20 on the screen to accomodate the sign(+/-).

Hi,

Go to the ELEMENT LIST and increase the "Defined length of screen field"(DefLg) field length.

Thanks and Regards,

Hey,

If you are displaying a quantity or amount field on the screen then create the screen field with dictionary reference.

For eg if you have display VBRK-NETWR then refer the screen field to VBRK-NETWR.

On the screen, double click on the field, the Properties editor opens up. In that, enter the _______V (enter V at the end, filling the rest of the space with underscores) in the 'Value' field.

Hope this helps.

Yes, try and change the format in the TEXT field and please check the length also which is next to it.

Hi,

curiously enough, exactly today I encountered the same problem (short dump) while trying to show a negative value in the INPUT/OUTPUT screen field of type DEC.

Thanks, Naimesh, your proposal to put 'V' in the place of the last "_" in the format options of the filed helps me to avoid dump.

Thanks,

Hi Rohit,

You are able to see the Underscores in Value field, at the last of those underscore add 'V'.

hi,

I had the same problem.

Put '_.___.___.___.___,__V' in the value of your screen field if your field have 21 length for output.
