Decimal places in Smartforms

165 Views

Hi All,

In smartforms, to control the number of decimal points in a field we can use the formatting option

&symbol(.N)&

for e.g.

The EKPO-MENGE field contains the value 1234.56. The Dictionary definition specifies 3 decimal places and an output length of 17.

&EKPO-MENGE(.1) -> 1,234.6

&EKPO-MENGE&(.4) -> 1,234.5600

&EKPO-MENGE&(.0) -> 1,235

Can we use a variable instead to giving the number directly ?

like

data length type i .

length = '1'.

&EKPO-MENGE(.length) -> 1,234.6

Will this approach work.

Thanks,

Mandeep
