Check a WIKI from Kesavadas.

This CHECK_FORMULA is not doing anything useful for the present requirement.

Hi Lavanya,

Did you try using :

OIC_EVALUATE_FORMULA ?

I don't understand the Exporting parameters in this FM.

I am using the same FM EVAL_FORMULA.They have mentioned in the article,that it accepts negative number.But,suppose the equation is 2.4*x*y and the values which i give are x= -10 and y =3.3,the formula will become 2.4*10-*3.3.So,it is not able to give a correct result.This is my issue.

what is the result?  What did you expect?  If you expect something other than 79.2-, then I think you need to adjust your expectations.

my expectation is 79.2-.But it is giving me some other random result.
