Variable print adjustments

[Former Member]

Hi pros,

a simple question, but i do not find the answer fast.

I have a number and want it to be printed as a natural value ( no decimals ).

I thought i could do it like this in SAPScript: &number(I)&.

This didn't work out.

Where do i find the formatting commands for SAPScript?

Thanx in Advance

Hi, thanks 4 your incredible fast answer.

I guess i got the problem: (.0) would only work for numbers.

Maybe although containing this variable is a char...

This also seems realistic, since i can cut off the lenth (e.g. (5) will cut it to five letters)...

best regards /J

The thing is:

it doesn't work in debug mode:

MENG_NET_SUM(.0) shows 142.881

and not in print-out:

&MSEG_NET_SUM(.0)& results in 142.881...

Why is this? MAybe a language problem?

Thx Jan

maybe it means 142 thousands and 881 (decimal point for US format)

Make sure what is the value of the variable before printing

Thanks for your answer!

I've been trying to use this formatting, but it doesn't round the numbers.

Does this not work in debugger? Can i only see the formatted results in the print-out?

My best wishes

You'll be able to see the result in the sapscript debugger (step by step), but I don't really see the advantage here compared to the print preview.

&NUMERIC(.0)& works well

Make sure the variable is numeric
