OK, I've pulled enough hair out on this and so it is time to post a plea of assistance. I have been away from dialog programming and am rusty when it comes to handling amounts and currency.

I have a table with these fields....

APPROVAL_MAX ZEBPAPRVL_MAX CURR 13

APPROVAL_CURR WAERS CUKY 5

APPROVAL_MAX has a reference to APPROVAL_CURR.

When I am trying to enter a value into APPROVAL_MAX like '1' and a value of 'USD" in APPROVAL_CURR, I get a error...

Message 00088. Input must be in the format __,___,___,__~.__

The two fields are in the same CHAIN ENDCHAIN.

FYI, I am working on an SRM box and there is not T001 table. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi Dean,

Let the screen field be of a numeric character rather than a currency datatype...Once you are done with your formatting at the backend, move it to the screen field which is a numeric character.

You will not any errors in this case.

Hope this solves your problem

More information... The currnecy USD has 4 decimal places, even though the field in the table has 2. I can convert with no problem, but what happens is that the entry is re-displayed in the format of the currency (4 decimals) by the input field (aka table field) is 2 decinal places. Therefore, the message as reported above.

How can I fix this?

Well, I finally found the answer. I have been out of ABAping for quite sometime and thought I would forget alot of things. Well, this was one of them. I found an OSS Note to solve my issue...OSS Note 201925 - Using Currency Fields on Screens.

That Currency Key field needs to be prior to the Currency field in the CHAIN.. ENDCHAIN. Duh.

Thanks to all who provided any assistance.
