Negative values

[Former Member]

I have a field defined as QUAN 9 0. I use the data dictionary to display this field as a table control element. But when i enter a negative number, it's giving me an error that negatives are not allowed. Is there anything i need to set up for the me to to be able to enter -'s. Please help.

Thanks.

If you are using an existing domain, make sure the sign option is selected in the output characteristics. If not pick a domain with sign option or define your own.

HTH.

Hi

A second thing after Ramki's explanation is that: At screen painter, try putting a "V" character at the end of the field text area...

e.g.

Name: P_NUMBER

Text: _________V

Hi,

Try to assign the data element that in turn uses a data domain with sign option checked. only then u will be able to put a sign in that box.
