Dear experts,

how do I declare negative values on a field of a table control?

Thanks in advance,

Sounds like your field in the screen is not defined properly, In the screen, go to the element list tab, then General attributes tab, under the "Format" column, change it to DEC with an appropriate length.

HI Roxani,

Simply put an uppercase V at the end of the underscores in the text box.

Reward points if this helps.

Associate the screen field to a data dic data element that permits negative numbers (in the field atributes).
