adding _ve sign to a field

[Former Member]

hi,

i need to add a -ve sign to a field which is of type quen,but the fm i used is taking only chr.this is what i did? but not getting how to do it

loop at i_ekpo into wa_ekpo.

wa_ekpo-menge = wa_ekpo-menge * -1.

data : lw_var(14) type c .

lw_var = wa_ekpo-menge .

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'

CHANGING

value = lw_var .

wa_ekpo-menge = lw_var.

modify i_ekpo from wa_ekpo.

Hi

Thats true. The Fm will take only char.

Hi Radhika,

If this problem is still there then why dont you try to assign the value in the CHAR data type.

I think this is the only solution for your problem.

Thanks,

the table field is of quen type which i shound not change it char.

[Former Member]

In that case...

first..

var1 = quantity field

split var1 at '-' to var2 var3.

now..

var4 = '-'.

concatenate var4 var2 into var5.

do it like this:

wa_ekpo-menge = 0 - wa_ekpo-menge .

[Former Member]

try :

multiply lw_var by -1.

hi use concatenate '-' or multiple with '-1'.

[former_member182426]

hi,

try like this.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS> type any.

assing <var> to <fs>.

concatenate '-' <fs> into <fs>.

OR.

<fs> = <fs> * -1.

Did u try the solution I gave earlier?

[Former Member]

hi,

i have tried like this way ,i got the result ,but is it correct.

wa_ekpo-menge = wa_ekpo-menge * -1.

data : lw_var(14) type c .

lw_var = wa_ekpo-menge .

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'

CHANGING

value = lw_var .

wa_ekpo-menge = lw_var. "is this correct to equal

modify i_ekpo from lw_var.

thanks

[Former Member]

Yeah

I think this should work.

[Former Member]

its working fine.but i used like this is it correct.

wa-ekpo-menge = lw_var.

modify i-ekpo from lw_var.

thanks

[Former Member]

is i_ekpo a field or a table...?? you cant modify an internal table from a field..

say:

move lw_var to i_ekpo- "give the field name here.
