Hi All,

I have a report where in i have to replace a particular column with '-' which is packed decimal.
example i have a value 10.22 which we need to replace with '-' based on a condition otherwise the value should remain same as 10.22.

Can some one give me any idea.

I believe you will have to put everything into an ALPHA field and if the condution is true then put a - in it, else use FTOA to convert it to ALPAA and then TRIM off leading zeros.

Another optionis to use MISSING ON, then for that condition set the value to MISSING and make sure you SET NODATA = '-'
