Problem in displaying currency field

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

We are displaying amounts in one smartform. Amount format should be as '$2,000.00'. we changed it into character variable and concatenated with the dollar symbol. Its wroking fine. But, as it is a character variable, the commas in the middle of the amount is not displaying.But we need it also....Could any body suggest me to accomplish it...

Thanks in advance,

Shyam.

HI,

While assigning the data from a currency variable to character variable use MOVE statement.

Move l_curr to l_char_curr.

Concatenate '$' l_char_curr into l_char_curr separated by ' '.

Best regards,

Hi Shyam,

You have to display the $ sign separately..before the amount. Dont concatenate it.

If you are displaying it in a text field. then create another text field and put the $ sign thr.
