Omitting the negative sign in SAP scripts

Hi All,
I have a requirement to print the quantity without the negative sign.
I have used (S) , &symbol(S)& to compress the sign but that seems to be not working.

Hi Kiran,
To Omit the leading sign for the field the syntax &symbol(S)&
The S option can be used to ensure that the value is formatted without sign

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

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 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.

Siva

Problem of negative sign in conversion of hexadecimal to decimal.

class D {
public static void main (String args[]) {
int i= 0x80000000;
int j=0x7FFFFFFF;
System.out.print(i+" , "+j);
The value of 'i' = 8*(16^7) =2^31 i.e. 2 raised to power 31.
But it prints -2^31= -2147483648. My problem is that how we are getting a negative sign in 'i' ?
while On printing 'j' we get a positive value.

The max value for an int is 2,147,483,647. Since your number is larger than that, it wraps around to be a negative number.

Printing value fields with negative sign??

Hello Experts,
I have developed a interface, which writes the invoice data to application server/unix, this is a notepad. My specifications are as below,
MWSK1(2) TaxCode 65 2 KONV-MWSK1
KWERT(13) Condition Value 67 13 KONV-KWERT
KSTEU(1) Condition Control 80 1 KONV-KSTE
I have to print KWERT value from 67th position until 13 positions, meaning until 80 positions, fine. My code is as below,
MOVE: wa_invoice_price-mwsk1 TO unix_file+64(2).
WRITE: wa_invoice_price-kwert TO unix_file+66(13) RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.
MOVE: wa_invoice_price-ksteu TO unix_file+79(1),
So, it printing like below (pls. note 0.04 minus value in right bottom corner)
P26701ZCG620101006C 100.00 0.00USD 1 UGL 0.00A A 9
P60001ZF3520101006C 100.00 0.00USD 1 UGLG 0.04-H B 9
But, business want to have like below (pls. note the DIFFERENCE for 0.04 minus value in right bottom corner),
P26701ZCG620101006C 100.00 0.00USD 1 UGL 0.00 A A 9
P60001ZF3520101006C 100.00 0.00USD 1 UGLG 0.04 - H B 9
meaning, the 13th position should be negative sign (if at all any value does have a negative sign, else its normal)....so, the negative sign should sit on 13th postion. As am using WRITE statement with RIGHT JUSTIFIED am facing thisissue!! as u know we can not send a 'P' type value to unix/apps server, pls. let me know how to get it done?
Thank you

why can't the user live with a leading sign, like '- 0.04'? If possible, do
shift <fieldname> circular up to '-'.
Or, if value is less than zero, set another variable to '-', else set to space, and multiply value with '-1', like:
if <field> < 0.
 lv_sign = '-'. " neagtive value
<field> = <field> * '-1'. "reverse the sign
else.
lv_sign = space. "positive value
endif.
then, adjust your field length and insert a sign column or simply add a column for the sign....

Transferring the negative sign from Right to Left for a currency field.

Hi All,
I am trying to transfer the negative sign in a currency field from right to left but in doing that i am not getting the comma seperators of the currency field.
For eg : If the value is 12,345,678.00- then after converting it i am getting it as
-12345678.00 and i am loosing the commas.
I am trying to transfer the negative sign by first converting the currency field into character field.
Kindly help for the same.
Thanks,

Hi,
Use FM CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT.
Try this code as well
data: var(10),
length type i.
var = '300-'.
write var.
length = strlen( var ).
length = length - 1.
replace first occurrence of '-' in var+length(1) with ''.
concatenate '-' var into var.
write:/ var.

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.

Jesper
