offset length

hi all,

in the report i have the gt_file_export-value = 10000000000.00-

in the below they have written the code to keep the minus value first but due to the follwing code i.e., because of code this

MOVE '-' TO amount_to_print(1).

the value becoming as -0000000000.00 , one is missing and placing minus sign there

i need to get the value as -10000000000.00

check the code for the same.

WRITE: gt_file_export-value TO amount_to_print.

IF amount_to_print+15(1) = '-'.

MOVE '-' TO amount_to_print(1).

MOVE ' ' TO amount_to_print+15(1).

CONDENSE amount_to_print NO-GAPS.

WHILE amount_to_print+14(1) = ' '.

SHIFT amount_to_print RIGHT.

ENDWHILE.

ENDIF.

thanks in advance

Hello Hema,

Try this code:

IF amount_to_print CA '-'.
  SHIFT amount_to_print BY 1 PLACES RIGHT CIRCULAR
ENDIF.

Hope this helps.

BR,

Suhas

try like dis..

IF amount_to_print+15(1) = '-'.

concatenate '-' amount_to_print+0(14) into amount_to_print.

ENDIF.

Make sure field amount_to_print is long enough.

Then, first do a

SHIFT amount_to_print RIGHT DELETING TRAILING SPACE.

Next, if it's a negative value, add the minus sign.

amount_to_print(1) = '-'.

Finally condense the field

CONDENSE amount_to_print NO-GAPS.

Hi

Try this

DATA amount_to_print(15) type c value '10000000000.00-'.

IF amount_to_print+14(1) = '-'.
  MOVE amount_to_print(14) TO amount_to_print+1.
  MOVE '-' TO amount_to_print(1).
  CONDENSE amount_to_print NO-GAPS.
ENDIF.

write: amount_to_print.

hi,

check the length of 'amount_to_print'.

if the length is less than that it will condence.

hi ,

you are moving '-' to '1'.

with the statement MOVE '-' TO amount_to_print(1).
