Negative sign on the wrong side when export data to csv

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an internal table with some character and numeric (integer, currency) fields and I need to export that data to a csv file.

I have used the function "CONVERT_SAP_TO_CSV" to geht my csv data. Before that I have converted the numeric fields by WRITE TO to character.

In my csv file, I get the negative sign on the right side, so I can´t calculate anything in excel than.

In the debugger, the negativ sign is always on the right side, but in the csv it need to be on the left side.

Can anybody help me, how to get it to the left in my csv?

Thank You!

You can use the function module

CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT.

  CHANGING
    VALUE         = netvalue
          .

Hi,

This is happening because u have converted the numeric fields to character. And the character fields will be written in CSV file as it is.

Try by not converting the numeric values to char.

Otherwise

with simple logic

data : char(20).

data : val type i.

if val < 0.

write val to char.

concatenate '-' char into char .

condense char no-gaps.

endif.

write : / char.

check this function module..

CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT will move the negative sign from the left hand side of a number, to the right hand side of the number. Note that The result will be left justified (like all character fields), not right justifed as numbers normally are.

chck this example..

data: a1 type i value 56 ,

a2 type i value 60,

res type i.

res = a1 - a2.

data: res1(10).

res1 = res.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'

CHANGING

VALUE = res1

.

write res1.
