Hi All,

I am facing one problem when i am displaying a negative number in output.I have a number 123,567,90.89-.They want the sign should be on left-side.I did that shifting the sign to left by passing that value into one string type variable.But when i copied the value into string symbol ',' is ommiting and the value is getting stored as '12356790.89-',But i have to display the value in such a way that sign should be in left-side and it should be in number format.i.e,

-123,567,90.89.

Please give me a solution to resolve this problem..

With Regards,

try this...

DATA: amount(16) TYPE P DECIMALS 3 VALUE '345435455.45-',

c_amount(16).

WRITE amount TO c_amount NO-SIGN.

IF amount < 0.

CONCATENATE '-'

c_amount

INTO c_amount.

CONDENSE c_amount NO-GAPS.

ENDIF.

WRITE c_amount.

after moving the data into string you need to put the ',' manually into the string

Hello,

You can try:

G_NUM_TEMP TYPE P DECIMALS 2

G_S_IMP_MOM TYPE /GEX/255 --> CHAR of 255

G_NUM_TEMP contains: 123,567,90.89-

WRITE G_NUM_TEMP TO G_S_IMP_MOM LEFT-JUSTIFIED.

"LEFT-JUSTIFIED is for respecting the final - and doing the write correctly.

"NO GROUPING is used to avoid the separation for thousands, so here it is no used.

In G_S_IMP_MOM string you should have the value separated correctly, then do the process to have the - sign at the beginning of the string.

I hope it will help you.
