0.0 is displaying istead of blank

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have created a smartform. The quantity is to be displayed. When no value is there it should be blank but it is coming as 0.0.

Hi Purnand ,

Move the Quantity to a CHAR type field and display that CHAR field.

Give a try to this solution it may work.

[Former Member]

Hi, I already tried this. The value is not coming even if it is there. In global definition, I declared it as fklmg4 type c. Now where to provide its length. Its not accepting there.

[Sijin_Chandran]

Hi Purnand.

Write the same in IF condition.

If fkimg is intial.

CHAR_fkimg = fkimg.

endif.

And for the other cases let it be like as  it was earlier.

hi,

Define it as FKLMG4 TYPE CHAR25.

It worked but I disturbed my font size and alignment.

Thanx

[Sijin_Chandran]

Define it with minimum size .

CHAR01-CHAR08.

[Former Member]

It worked with quan but not with curr. how to remove it with curr. changing it to char does not work

[Sijin_Chandran]

If it worked for Quantity then I think that it should work for currency fields even.

What is the problem you facing ?

[Former Member]

Its working for both actually but I have change its font, alignment n everything. Changing its data type in char is not the perfect solution.

[Former Member]

Its giving dump

[Sijin_Chandran]

Hi Purnand ,

I had used this technique for my scenario and it works perfectly fine.

Use it correctly.

Show the dump result.

Hi,

  If Quantity field is Declared as Quantity type it comes 0.0 but instead of quantity type declare it as a character type it shows blank.

You should use like this to prevent Zero being displayed... Use the field like below..

Supress zero &FIELDNAME(I)&

[Former Member]

suppress zero is not taking

Hi Purnand,

The only solution here is to declare the field as char.

The output length of standard field FKLMG is 17. So you need to declare a field of length 17.

If the output lengths of both the fields is same, i don't hink there would be any alignment problem

Hi,

Use  &Your Quantity field(I)&  for to Suppresses display of initial values.

Thanks

Hi Purnand ,

As suggested by Arunkumar , don't forget to  write condense statement after transferring it to CHAR type variable.

I think it will work.

Hi,

The Solution contains in above discussion,

IF your populating the amount field in ABAP/smart form program do the following step.

  If qty is not initial.

       qty_text =  qty.

      condense: qty_text.

  else.

      clear qty_text.

endif.

The above statements will move the qty value into text variable.

The alignment got disturbed because, the entire length of the qty field will be moved into character field.

Hope this solves your issue.

Thanks.

Hi Purnand,

To avoid zeros use &FIELDNAME(Z)&.

[Former Member]

my fielname is fklmg4. should i put it in text like this?

&fklmg4(Z)&

[Former Member]

my fielname is fklmg4. should i put it in text like this?

&fklmg4(Z)&

[Former Member]

If your fieldname is flmg4 then put it &fklmg4(Z)& in your text editor.

[Former Member]

This is the simplest and the perfect solution. Thank you experts.
