Hi ,,

  suppose the value stored in (ex: menge) and for signs take one key field(like  shkzg: if shkzg = x means Positive else negative)

if shkzg = x.

     write menge.

else.

      concatenate menge '(-)' into menge1.

      write menge1.

endif.

Hi krishna,

    if i do like that, it willl create calculation problem.because -710 is not same as ( - )720

Pavan,

   while printing that field you apply the logic.

sample code..

REPORT  YSIGN.

PARAMETERS var(10) TYPE c.

DATA var1(12) TYPE c.

START-OF-SELECTION.

IF var < 0.

   var = var * -1.

   CONCATENATE var '(-)' INTO var1.

ENDIF.

WRITE var.

WRITE var1.

Thanks krishna,

            it works now, it prints like 720(-) but user wants in amount figure like 720.00(-).can you please asist more on this.

hi,

first tel me how the value is storing into table/variable . means ex. if suppose value is storing 720.00 then above logic wil work if it not means then check what is the variable type maybe it is a character type then we have to add manually by using above code(concatenate menge '.00' '(-)' into menge1 ) like that but check properly whether the field is currency or what,if it is currency means hw the value is storing you have to consider.
