Can I write in the layout in any Key figure something else then number ?

Question

Hi
(sem - bps)
Can I write in the layout  in any Key figure something else then number ?
Let say I want to right in the key figure number with CHAR (the letters a-z)
Can I do so ?
Can a key figure  has char other then number ?

Answer 1

no i can't , because the user want to assign a characteristic ,for example (the layout) :
0employye  0amount 0project
P1211111   1000   #
after the user will assign :
0employye  0amount 0project
P1211111   1000   ea-5819
can the user assign 0project ?
the current solution i mange to build was :
a variable with 2 characteristic 0employee & 0project
and with user exit i move the values to Variable
,and in the fox i use substr to split the variable ,
the code is :
FUNCTION Z_REFERNCE_RELATION_EMPL_ITER.
