Hi all,

In a SAPscript I found the following:

&W_INTEGER_TOTAL(>9.2)&

I know the 9.2 means display 9 digits "before the comma" and 2 after. However does anyone know the meaning of the " > " sign?

Hi,

It is about the leading sign.

The default setting is to print the leading sign to the right of a numeric value. If you used the SET SIGN LEFT control command to specify that the leading sign should be printed in front of the value, you can override this specification for individual symbols. The symbols specified with the > option are then printed with the leading sign to the right.

Syntax:

&symbol(>)&
