Condition of amount in report column

Question

Hello,
I have created a report in xml template and registered in oracle apps.i have created a rdf report which is showing two column values in output.the following requirement as follows?
First condition:
There are tow columns A and B.If column A having amount 100 and column B is 20.The requirement is to show amount in Column B is A+B(100+20)=120 while column A should be remain unchanged .i.e 100
2nd condition:
if column A having 100 and B having 0 amount,then column B should be 0(no addition of column A) while column A should be remain unchanged .i.e 100
Third condition:
If column A having value 100 and B is -30,then column B should show (100-30)=70 while column A should be remain unchanged .i.e 100
So it might b tackle with the formula column.How can i achieve this by writing pl sql if these three above conditions are true?

HI
It is very simple if you understand the logic.
Either use Decode function as above function, ..Your requirement is just print a always and print b with sum of a&b if b <>0.+b)
Method 1:
Select a, decoder (b,0,0, a, ab+b) from table
method 2:
in create formula column say f_b
new_b number :=0;
Begin
If :b <>0 Then
new_b := :A +:b
Else
new_b :=0;
End if;
Return New_b
