Negative sign for DMBTR field in ALV output

Hi Experts,

Before posting I have searched for more than 3 hours in the forums to get a solution for this.

I did not get any solution so I am posting this problem which I need to resolve.

I have to display the DMBTR field in ALV output for which a grand total will have to be displayed.

Here for all the values in DMBTR which are negative are getting displayed as '- 6673.56','- 289956.23' as I am using the edit mask 'V_____________.__'.

I have to get the value shown as '-6673.56', '-289956.23'.

I tried to use convert this DMBTR to String and have successfully displayed the negative sign correctly in front of the value but I am not getting the totals which I need to have

PLease check and suggest for a solution.

Regards

Kishore
