Negative Sign displaying as '/' in alv

HI,
I am using ALV Display, the field has a negative value in internal table but while displaying the negative sign is converted to '/' sign.
Can you plz tell me how to correct the same?
Regards,
Ashu Arora

Dear Ashu Arora,
Method SET_SIGN ofClass CL_SALV_COLUMN is used to set the sign. Method HAS_SIGN is used to check if it is displayed in the output.
Hope this will help.

Naveen.

Negative sign display for CURR field in ALV grid report

I have a field BETRG defined as CURR field of length 15, decimal places 2. The value may be negative or positive. In case of negative values I am using EDIT_MSK option in the field catalog to bring the negative sign to the left of the value as shown below.

On displaying the report using 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' as shown above, when the value of BETRG is a smaller number like say 624, then the ALV output appears as '-            624.00' instead of '-624.00'.
Is there any way that I can remove the space in between the negative sign and the number before displaying the ALV output using 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'?

Hi Deepak,
I tried this and found that this doesn't work in case of currency field. Once you move back the char field (with negative sign to the left and condensed) to the currency field, the negative sign again moves back to the right.
I think that the only way a negative sign can be brought to the left of the currenct field is by using edit_mask of field catalog as I have shown above.

Negative sign to change to prefix

dear gurus
please let me know how to change the negative sign to prefix in alv report. ( i.e transcode GRR2=>formating =>report layout => language dependent => debit/credit sign [+/-] ).
Regards
Vijayendran S

hi,
You can use edit_mask to serve your purpose.
You can specify the formatting template as follows:
'V'only with fields of type P or I:
output of leading sign
wa_fieldcat-edit_mask = 'V______'.
Note:
1)If the leading sign is to be output with a field of type P or I, you must specify the wildcard character V at the desired place. If this character does not appear in the template, no leading sign will be output if the value of f is negative.
2)When formatting a field of type P with decimal places, the value is not aligned with a character in the template representing the decimal point (either a period or a comma). If you want to have this character in the output, you must insert it in the correct position in the template and define the formatting from the right. If there is no character for the decimal point in the template, no such character is output.

How to hide the negative sign while displayed in ALV

Hi,
I am having a field for 'Price' for which i need the negative sign to do the sum (i.e. futher calculation) but i dont want to display the negative sign which is with 'Price' field in the output screen.
I tried with the attribute no_sign = 'X' in the field catalogue,but still the negative sign was getting displayed in the output.
Please help me to not to display the sign in the output.
Thanks in Advanced.
Regards,
Darshana

Hi Darshana,
Before displaying the ALV , check what is the value of that particulat field (in a loop ) and if it is less than 0 , make it positive.
CALACULATION part
LOOP AT itab into wa.
IF wa-val1 < 0 .
wa-val1 = wa-val1 * -1 .
MODIFY itab from wa INDEX sy-tabix .
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Then build the field catalogue and finally display the ALV .
Thanks

How to display the number with negative sign in the front in ALV.

most important, this ALV is also can totalize.
can someone give me some suggestion?
thanks
jisuwen

i hope you want a negative sign before a char but holding some number. then that case
loop at itab.
concatenate itab-char '-' into itab-char.
modify itab.
endloop.
and you can display in ALV with negative sign...
Totalling you need to Specify
DO_SUM = 'X' while populating fieldcatalog...
If subtotals then you have to Build sort table and based on that you can proceed./.
examples are there you can find inn SLIS package..

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

Hi,
If this is the case, then you can use character field to display the sign on the left. Sum up the total and use the event end of list to display the same. Remember to set the TECH and NO_OUT in the field catalog.
Hope this helps.

How to display NEGATIVE sign on the left side of a number in SMARTFORMS

Hi,
 In smartforms I'm trying to print some negative values, but the negative sign is displayed on the right hand side of the number.
How can I display the '-' sign on the left hand side of a number. I tried the logic &value(<), it works well in sap scripts. Why is it not working in smartforms ?
Eg : I'm getting the output as 126.75 -
 I want : - 126.75

see this wiki which gives details for restrictions of formatting options (I guess you didn't declare the variable correctly, i.e. with the right data element): http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAPscript#SAPscript-WhatarethevarioustextformattingoptionsinSAPscript%3F

The option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign" was not activated.

I've encountered with a huge problem after load opening balance.
I forgot to tick the option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign"
It makes my client's Chart of Account uncommon such as credit balance in Cash Account, AR .....
However, I've search the sap note to solve it as follow:
Description of the bug::
When creating the company in the system the option 'Display Credit Balance with negative sign' was not activated.
Once transactions were created in the system the functionality can not be changed.
Limits of the query:
After running the update query, please restart SBO first and then run the restore 'GL account and bp balances';
otherwise, the cashed value of SBO will not be updated and restore function may not take effect.
1. Meaning of restart SBO => restart SBO Service Manager right?
2. Please help me please to find "The restore G/L account and bp balances" form. Where is it?;
Thank you

Hi,
I would think that you are following the PEQ instructions for note 970813, correct?
If this is the case and you are using 2007 then you will find the restorev in the top menu; Help -> Support Desk -> Restore. You will find the functions here. Please note that this should only be used on direct instruction from support or a note like in this case. A backup should also be taken before running restore.

Properly displaying currency amounts (negative sign) via WRITE statement

Dear forumers,
Using the WRITE statement, how may I properly display a currency amount that has a negative value?
In my program, the variable, V_AMOUNT to be displayed is originally of the type "WERTV12".
Using the WRITE statement for this, nothing gets displayed in the screen (blank only).
So, I assigned V_AMOUNT to another variable of the type "P DECIMALS 2", V_AMT.
Using the WRITE statement for this, the amount is displayed in the screen.
But, if the amount has a negative value, the negative sign is not displayed there.
I.e. If V_AMT has the value '500.00-', only '500.00' is displayed in the screen.
Finally, I changed the type of V_AMT as type string.
This works - any amounts with negative sign is displayed in the screen properly.
But, with this approach, I'm unable to "customize" the display of amounts according to currency, like this:-
DATA int TYPE i VALUE 12345678.
WRITE int CURRENCY 'EUR'.
The output of the WRITE statement is "123456,78".
Is there a better way to achieve this?

SAP display amounts/quantities as positive numbers with another field that denotes whether positive or negative. You could change the value to a character field and put the negative where you need it (or put an additional field next to the amount with the sign)... but using a character field probably would negate the currency display, too....

Negative Sign in the front for amount

Hi Friends,
i am facing problem in negative sign
while using fm : cloi_put_sign_in_front which accepts char variable.
In my report amount type is char15 and here negative sign appears after using this fm but when i download this data in one other char structure DATA: BEGIN OF itab_proextract OCCURS 0,
        line(502) TYPE c,
      END OF itab_proextract.
Amount is right justified always..but afterusing this amount gets displayed in left due to this my other variable which are getting downloded after amount comes as concatenated for ex...
Before :
00102384NALCUS/406FED      00AX          4.26-         5126.84-
After

Negative Sign for Asset G/L Account balance

    Company Details
      Display Credit Balance with Negative Sign is unchecked
   Please anyone help me out in making the balance with positive sign
Edited by: Rajeswari Palaniyappan on Nov 25, 2008 10:00 AM

Hi Rajeswari
This is a common error that consultants make when implementing SAP Business One. There is no quick fix for this and the best is to create a new database and re-import all the transactions and masters. Make sure this time that the Display Credit Balance with Negative Sign is ticked.
Unfortunately this one tick affects the way amounts are posted to the journal tables & others and cannot be fixed manually. You could try raising a support message with SAP but I am sure they will tell you the same thing I have.
Kind regards

ORA-06502 encountered due to negative sign

Problem:
I encountered the error in my sql statement with the message:
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at line 144
I already found the problem:
v_str:= lpad(nvl(to_char((to_number(display_r.CO_AMOUNT)/100),'999,999,999.99'),' '),'15',' ');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_str);Because the value of CO_AMOUNT has negative sign as: 00000000-381250
As such, I would like to seek help in resolving the problem I encountered. Is there a way to still display the output with the negative sign?
Thanks in advance.

The negative sign is not the problem, it's the fact that it's in the middle of the string. SQL expects the sign to be at the beginning (or end) of a number.
This is one of the side effects of using strings to hold numeric data. There are a number of reasons why you might have this behaviour, it really depends on what your app does and how it populates the CO_AMOUNT variable.
Anyway, you can solve this specific problem with a simple LTRIM:
SQL> SELECT to_number('00000000-381250') FROM dual
2 /
SELECT to_number('00000000-381250') FROM dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01722: invalid number
SQL> SELECT to_number(ltrim('00000000-381250', '0')) FROM dual
2 /
TO_NUMBER(LTRIM('00000000-381250','0'))
-381250
SQL> Cheers, APC
