Regarding the quantity field

[Former Member]

hi friends,

i am having a doubt like , i having the quantity field having the length of 13 ,

if the value of quantity is 300 - , i have to delete the - sign and capture the - sign in to one variable and display it in the next field

or else if the value of quantity is 300 , treat it as + and i have to capture the positive sign in to an variable.

regards

hi,

you can try this out..

clear v_next_field.

if quantity < 0.

quantity = quantity * (-1) " to remove the negative sign.

v_next_field = ' - '.

else.

if quantity > 0.

v_next_field = '+'.

endif.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

you can use the ABS function

if var lt 0.

var1 = abs( var ).

sig = '-' - this field can be used to capture the sign

endif.

here var is the quantity field, var1 could be any numeric field, and sig is a type c field of length 1.

Hi,

Check if qty < 0, then multiply the qutitiy with '-1' and take '-' symbol to the next field other wise take '+'

ex.

IF qyt LT 0.

qty = -1 * qty.

MVOE '-' TO <field>.

ELSE.

MOVE '+' TO <field>

ENDIF.
