Numbers with negative sign

[Former Member]

Hi,

SAP send value to XI as 100.00-

In XI, I send this to standard subtract function where it expect this as -100.00

Which is the good way to move the negative sign to the left ?

Please do note there coould be situation where this value can come as positive so I have to take care of both situations.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Check with the below mapping

src--------------\
  Constant[-]-----| replaceString-----neg------
  Constant[]----/                             |
                                              |
                                             then
src---------------\endswith-------------->if         --------->tgt
Constant[-]-------/                          else  <---------src

write a UDF

int indexNeg = str1.indexOf("-"); //str1 is input to UDF
if (i == -1)
	return str1;
else {
	str1 = str1.replace('-','');
	str1 = "-" + str1
        return str1;
}

Check if indexOf "-" is not -1. If it is -1, then it means that no - sign is present. If its present, you may replace it with blank "" and concat it in the front. This would also work for positive numbers.
