How to display NEGATIVE sign on the left side of a number in SMARTFORMS

[Former Member]

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

You must have done something wrong because it does work fine in Smartforms, assuming your data type is correct.

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-Whatarethevarioustextformattingoptions...
