Hi Raj,

You can do this only by your driver program.. There is no specific way to make the amount format constant.. while displaying it..

It will always take the user format.. But the only thing you can do is, put the amount you want to display in a CHAR type field.

And then by Replace you can get the proper format and display it..

For ex..

Suppose that the user setting is 100.000,75 but you always want to have '.' as the decimals then code like this..

DATA : w_char(20) TYPE c.

WRITE : w_amount TO w_char.

DO.

REPLACE '.' WITH 'x' INTO w_char. ( 100x000,75)

REPLACE ',' WITH '.' INTO w_char. (100x000.75)

REPLACE 'x' WITH ',' INTO w_char. (100,000.75)

Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi

Welcome to the SDN forum.

You can add the field and populate it with values

to print the same currency format you can use the command

/: SET COUNTRY 'IN' ....to print indian currency in (1,000.00) format)

in place of IN you can hardcode any country to print the country specific currecny formats.
