Problem with -ve Sign for Amount and Quantity fields

[Former Member]

Hi,

in my programming, my amount and quantity fields are showing -VE values like this .. 43.56-. but i want-43.56. I tried several ways. I didn't get any clue. i don't want to change my field technical attributes(i need these for further processing .i.e. amount and quanity. we can achieve this for Character fields). if any body help me out from this.

Thanks in Advance.

Please guide me.

Hi Nagesh,

I don't think you can do it without moving it to a CHAR field.. SAP does it the same way in the function module CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT.

data : l_amt(15) value '435.46-'. 

 CALL FUNCTION 'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'
       CHANGING
            VALUE = l_amt.

write : l_amt.

hi,

use:

1) abs( f )

2 f = f * -1.

Hi,

if ur problem is summing up for that field , try changing it string instead of char and try summation

[Former Member]

u said u want that field for further processing. so in this case put ur variable into another field of type char n display it.. and use ur original field for processing...

i need Amounts and Quantity data type for next process. Even if i change it to char data type into new variable i can't use that. That value i need to download into XL file. from there another System will pickup that...

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nagesh,

Move it to the char field & do the concatenation just before writing on to the screen.

[Former Member]

is it possible for u to do ur next process first and then put the negative sign in front by changing it to char or string

[Former Member]

i tried thse codes...

data: amount like vbap-netwr value'34.45',

text(18) type c.

amount = abs(amount) * -1.

next one:

move amount to text.

concatenate '-' text."-34.45'

if i do move here to amount..

move text to amount "34.45-"

any suggetions? i need to download this data to XL file. from there back ground job will pick that job?

I think there is no option..

Thanks a lot guys spending time on issue.. i think SAP won't support that...

Try:

DATA: amt LIKE bseg-wrbtr VALUE '-123.45'.

WRITE /001 amt USING EDIT MASK 'RRV_________.__'.
