Texting in Sapscript

[Former Member]

Hi developers,

I'm modifying a Sapscript and I need to change the way a field &field_name& is displayed.

I've got to display a negative number. In that field the number is written with the sign on the right (for example like "15-") but i need to represent it with the sign on the left (like "-15").

Is there anything that allows me to do that immediately?

Thanks,

Simone

Hi

Why can't use the Split and Concatenate mechanism for this.

Val = 15-.

Concatenate val2(1) val0(2) into val.

Write:/ Val.

Val = -15 now.

Change your driver program with a logic to add '-' sign at start of filed.

if you atre using a statndard sap driver program,

create a small include program, write a subroutine in the same and call that perfor from sap script.

Perform <XYZ> in program 'zabc' using &field-name&

changing &filed-name& .

include zabc.

form XYZ tables input_table structure itcsy

output_table structure itcsy.

data:g_value(20) type c.

loop at input_table.

if input_table-name = 'FIELD-NAME'.

g_value = input_table-value.

end loop.

condence g_value with no-gaps..

g_n = strlen(g_value).

" if last character is negaetive

if g_value(g_n) = '-'

g_new_value(1) = '-'.

g_new_value+1(g_n) = g_value.

g_value

endif.

input_tabl

endform.
