Table control conversion exit

189 Views

Hi everyone. I'm having a problem defining a table control. I'm using the wizard to do it, setting the table as an internal table of a program with it's corresponding work area (both of them declared as types of structures that I previously declared in the data dictionary). Four of the five fields of my table are decimal values with sign, and what's happening is that the program dumps (CONVRESION ERROR) whenever a negative value has to be displayed.

First thing I noticed is that if I reference this fields directly to the dictionary structure instead of using the internal table, I can see the field format in the screen layout. As if the field format is lost by using a work area declared in the program. Unfortunately, data is also lost by using the structure, so it's not a solution.

Can anyone please give me some advice about what to do with this situation?

Thanks a lot,

Fernando.
