Hi All,
I have computed a field by concatenating two fields in the datasource and trying to display it as a column in Read/Write Grid. I tried to declare the computed field by using below methods:

 
compute EvestProdMapStk1.MandateDesc/A130V ;
OR
compute EvestProdMapStk1.MandateDesc/A130V MISSING ON = ; 
OR
compute EvestProdMapStk1.MandateDesc/A130V = ' ' ;
OR
compute EvestProdMapStk1.MandateDesc/A130V  MISSING ON = MISSING;


Later in the code this fields is derived by concantenating two fields as:

 
REPEAT EvestProdMapStk1.FocCount;
compute  EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).MandateDesc =  EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).FUND_INVESTMENT_REGION || (' ' | EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).FUND_ASSET_CLASS_SPLIT );

-* compute  EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).MandateDesc =STRAN(EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).MandateDesc,'.','');

COMPUTE EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt = EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt +1;
ENDREPEAT


Now when I am displaying this field in Read/Write Grid,It is showing Period(.) for missing values. i.e, If either one of the two fields value is missing, it shows (.) for that particular value. If both values are missing it show (..) . I have used SYS_MGR.FOCSET("NODATA",""); in Top function already but it did not help.
Can anyone please help me get rid of this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Using:
SYS_MGR.FOCSET("NODATA", "") in your top case should absolutely take care of both fields and the grids. You could also put:
SET NODATA = '' in your EDASPROF and that should do it as well. If neither work, please open a case with customer support and send in your files.

Missing can be awkward in Maintain, and you are correct to open a case. The issue is in the concatenation of 2 missing fields. However if you want a workaround, you can use:
.
.
declare EvestProdMapStk1.MandateDesc/A130V MISSING ON;
.
.
Case Top
SYS_MGR.FOCSET("NODATA", "") ;
.
.
repeat EvestProdMapStk1.FocCount
if EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).FUND_INVESTMENT_REGION eq missing and EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).FUND_ASSET_CLASS_SPLIT eq missing then EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).MandateDesc = missing 
  else 
  if EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).FUND_INVESTMENT_REGION eq missing then EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).MandateDesc = EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).FUND_ASSET_CLASS_SPLIT 
    else 
    if EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).FUND_ASSET_CLASS_SPLIT eq missing then EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).MandateDesc = EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).FUND_INVESTMENT_REGION 
      else
      EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).MandateDesc = EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).FUND_INVESTMENT_REGION || ' ' | EvestProdMapStk1(EvestProdMapDispStk1Cnt).FUND_ASSET_CLASS_SPLIT ;

.

Thanks Alan for your reply.But i have already tried this but it did not work.Is there any other workaround for this.

Are you sure? This is code I have used many times and it has always worked for me. Have you tried displaying only a single field to ensure that the NODATA is correct?

Hi Alan,
For single field,it is working fine but for computed field in which i concatenated two fields ,it did not work (showing . for null values).
When we concatenated the fields in one field at database end and then displayed it on Grid,it worked fine.

Thanks,
Anil
