Field Conversions

[Former Member]

Hello,

we have a currency field containing e.g. 1000-. An output file requires that a '-' sign is in front e.g. '-1000'.

Of course any empty spaces must be deleted so that it doesn't look like '- 1000'.

We could do with CONDENSE etc but have 70 fields with which to do this change.

is there any customizing that can do this or does anyone know of a neat solution?

Thank you,

Rod

One way is to use the function moduile:

CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT

hi

good

if all the fields are the currency fields the do for one than automatically it ll come for others also.

i dont think there is any customizing program which can help you in this.

thanks

hi,

If you have declared the variable i.e number in your case as type i ,then you can edit the output with '-' mask in front

If you have decared the number as type c. then you can use this FM

CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT and just pass the variable that holds the negative value.

or else,

If number < 0.

sign = '-'.

else.

sign = '+'.

endif.

concatenate sign number into number.

I suggest to go for FM

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks
