Hi,

Please check the data you are passing to the fieldcatalog.

The below values are passed or not :

QFIELDNAME DATATYPE , this should keep the value 0 as it is.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

is the screen field type is quant in the layout window

Hi ,

This is the default behavior of quantity related fields. If you enter 0 on the screen  it will be shown as blank because 0 signifies initial value.

If you want to specifically handle this and want to display 0 instead of blank , then map your field to character field. The drawback of doing this will be you will have to handle the validations ( number format  ) yourself in PAI of the screen. Also you will have to take care of conversion from character to decimal ( QUAN ) in the PBO and PAI.

Hi Amirineni,

Using the QUANT data type field  i think it is not possible. I had a similar requirement some time back and we decided to proceed with the blank value.

Default 0.000 can only be displayed if the screen field is of text type.

I would suggest to move forward with the blank space. However if it definitely required then please explore the possibilities of using a text field and mapping it to quantity field.
