If i declare a variable with type p, is it can store a negative value? Thanks!

Hi,

Yes.

data v_num type p decimals 2 value '-234.00'.

data v_char(20).

move v_num to v_char.

write:/ v_num.

condense v_char.

write:/ v_char.

• To put the negative sign before the value use the below function module.

call function 'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'

changing

value = v_char.

write:/ v_char.

Hi,

It can hold negative values.

Ex :

data : temp type p decimals 2 value '-38.00',

temp1 type i value '12'.

temp1 = temp + temp1.

write : temp, temp1.

But i need to display in sapscript. In my sapscript, i use internal-value(C), it can't display the negative value. Thanks

Hi,

In SAP SCRIPT, we have a special way to print the Signs ...

Left side --> &FIELD(<)&

right side --> &FIELD(>)&

and also check the length of the field.
