Hi,

Put &symbol(.0)& and remember symbol should be quantity field.

Hi,

&symbol(.N)& is the correct way to surpress decimal places (assuming the variable is stored as a decimal).

It might help if you said what error you are getting.

Hi Nick,

This is the error i m getting while calling the smart forms... *You used the formatting option "(.0)" for field "ITAB-ERFMG", which is invalid.*

Hi,

And is ITAB-ERFMG type decimal? I assume so, and even if it isn't it doesn't display the error you're getting.

Also, is ITAB a table? If so should your text element not contain the work area of the table, rather than the table name itself?

Hi Nick,

My ITAB-ERFMG is an internal table with header line, so no need for work area and it is of type QUAN 13 with 3 decimal places...

Hi,

I've yet to find any SAP documentation or training material the recommends using the table's own header as the Smartforms work area. I have however found it causing unusual problems in the generated function module.

That said, I've tried reproducing your problem and have not been able to. You could try defining a work area and seeing if that helps.
