Negative sign for Values

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am woking on BW and know some ABAP.

While i am feching data from table i am getting value as Ex: 100-(negative), but i want to show this as -100. I am downloading data into flat file, not for display.

Data i am getting now:

Mat Customer Value Qty

M100 C100 100- 10-

But i want to show this as below.

Mat Customer Value Qty

M100 C100 -100 -10

I am not expert in ABAP, plese give some suggitions or sample coding(if possible).

Thank you a lot.

Thank you all for quick and prompt reply.

But unfortunately the function module(CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT) is not available in BW.

But i created in BW by coping from R/3. Problem solved.

Thank you once again.

hi srini,

just find if the value is negative..

data : char(20).
 data : val type i.
  val = val - 50.
 if val < 0.
   write val to char.
   concatenate '-' char into char .
   condense char no-gaps.
 endif.
 write : / char.
