Input must be in the format

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am facing a problem with currency. The issue is i made a custom screen there are some fields on it. Some fields are currency fields which are attached with a currency. The probelm is in our scenario for USD currency the no. of decimal places defined are 4 so when the screen is displayed the amount is converted to 4 decimal places. Since the component used has 2 decimal places the screen gives and error saying Input must be in the format

___,___,___,___,___,___,__~.__V.

Can anyone tell how should i sovle this problem.

It looks like the currency field you used is a sign-enabled one.

On the screen painter, specify the value in your currency fields as _______V (enter V at the end, filling the rest of the space with underscores)

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, i have tried doing that, but what i think is the problem, is that sicne this is SAP functionality that it converts the data according to currency settings, but since the field on the screen is made from a field that has type with decimals 2 places it is unable to place the data from screen into the variable, but this happens in sap transactions every where. THere must be a way to solve this issue.

Hi,

One way u can do it is round off the input to 2 places before displaying it on the screen.

Other way is create a field in any internal table in ur program like

amt type p decimals 4.

Then use this field to define the field on the screen.

Hi,

Try like this - On Screen painter, don't refer the field to be a currency type. Refer the field type as Character with length as total output length of the currency field.

I found a solution to this problem. The reason was that the field was not in chain end chain and since it was a table control the field was not in chain end chain in the loop.
