Hi experts,

i want to display '-' sign before the value of variable in scripts(BASK-DMBTR) STORED IN (T_FINAL-DMBTR)

in report program '-' sign is displaying after the value.But it is not displaying in scripts.

I used in scripts "SET SIGN LEFT" BUT i didn't get.variable is currency field.I also put '<' sign (t_final-dmbtr(<)) but i didn't get.

what is the problem ? pls help me in this.

Please test using condense (C) for the field. Also check the window size as it may be getting truncated due to that.

Hi satyajit,

Thank u for giving immediate reply.I applied CONDENSE but it is giving syntax error.

DMBTR is currency type field.Condense keyword is for only character variable?

pls help me in this?

hey navadeep.

Your problem is your variable. Since it is IT_FINAL-DMBTR i hardly assume you declared it of type DMBTR.

Well type DMBTR has domain WERTV7 which actually is declared without sign.

Just use a variable WITH sign and liek yout tried (<).

You can use domain WERTV8 for this e.G..

Try using condense in sapscripts like &FIELD(C)&. May be you are trying to condense the amount in driver program.
