[Former Member]

Hi.

How do we assign a negative sign to a SAP-SCRIPT variable??

say &vbdkr-zamount&...how shall we make this variable negative in coding?

Do like this in your print program

vbdkr-zamount = 0 - vbdkr-zamount.

or

vbdkr-zamount = -1 * vbdkr-zamount.

Hey Subhas,

you can assign a negative sign to a script variable by simply multiplying it by -1 in your print program.

However , while looking at the print preview, the sign will be printed to the right of the number as ,say , 45 -.

So you can include this logic so as to get a result in print preview as '-45' .

<b>* Sample Code :</b>

data : amt type i .

amt = 45.

amt = -1 * amt.

data : a type str ,

b type str,

c type str.

a = amt.

split a at '-' into b c.

condense b.

concatenate '-' b into a .

Now into your Script, you can include the program symbol a at the required position.

The output in the print preview will be -45.
