Currency in smartforms

Question

Hi, I'm having a problem regarding to print a net value in smarform.
I've a two nodes, one is a code node and the other is text node .
In my code node I do this:
WRITE konv-kbetr TO l_total_txt .
l_total_txt is CHAR18
And in the other node I only print the l_total_txt.
But the problem is that the net value is in this format 123.456,789. And i have configured the decimals in 123,456.789.
Does anybody knows what is happening ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Diego Martinez,

Where? When you use WRITE with a number, the separators are determined by the last SET COUNTRY statement (depending on country's number format), otherwise, they are determined by the number format defined in user's profile.
Something else, I see that you use WRITE with a currency amount without using the currency code, this is dangerous especially in a multi-currency environment. You might get 10,000.000 JPY (10 thousands), though the reality would be 10,000,000 JPY (10 million). This is because japanese yens don't have decimals, and SAP right-aligns numbers, using a floating decimal point based on currency code).
