Template (SAP Library - EH&S Product Safety)

Template

If you specify expansion type NM and subexpansion type N, you can define input templates for numerical values.

Input template for decimal places before the period

You can use the following decimal places in the input template:

1.	Z = optional place (eliminates leading zeros)
2.	B = optional place (no leading zeros eliminated - if the SAP System does not find any values, it replaces B with a blank)
3.	9 = fixed place (no leading zeros eliminated - if the SAP System does not find any values, it replaces 9 with a zero)

Note

The order of the decimal places in the template is as above from left to right before the decimal point.

If the number of decimal places is greater than the number defined in the template, the system displays asterisks (*) instead.

Template for decimal places after the decimal point

You can use the following decimal places in the input template:

1.	9 = fixed place (no following zeros eliminated - if the SAP System does not find any values, it replaces 9 with a zero)
2.	B = optional place (no following zeros eliminated)
3.	Z = optional place (eliminates following zeros)

Note

The order of the decimal places in the template is as above from left to right after the decimal point.

Example

Numerical Value	Template	Result
12.3456789	99.99BBZ	12.34567
12.3	99.99BBZ	12.30
123.45600	99.99BBZZ	**.4560

Specifying the decimal separator and thousand separator

Which character you must specify in the template as the decimal separator and which character as the thousand separator (decimal point or comma) depends on the setting for the decimal separator in the header data for the respective report generation variant for which you later want to use the report template.

Input template for dimensions

If you do not define a template, the system uses the dimension specified by the transfer parameter.

You enter the input template for dimensions after the input template for the numerical value. Separate the template definitions with a blank.

You can use the following decimal places in the input template:

D = optional decimal place (if R/3 finds no value Þ D is replaced by a blank)

Note

If the number of characters required by the unit of measure is greater than the number of characters you defined for the input template, the system outputs an asterisk (*) behind the unit of measure.

Example

Numerical Value	Template	Result
12.34 kg/l	99.99 DD	12.34 k*
12.34 kg/l	99.99 DDDDD	12.34 kg/l

Note

You can use "D-" to completely suppress the output of the dimension.

Example

Numerical Value	Template	Result
123.45 kg/l	999.9 DDD	123.4 kg*
123.45 kg/l	999.9	123.4 kg/l
123.45 kg/l	999.9 D-	123.4

Input template for intervals

The system processes both values of the interval separately and prepares the template accordingly.

Example

Numerical Value	Template	Result
12.34 -13.5 kg/l	99.99 DDDD	12.34 - 13.50 kg/l

The original accuracies are transferred.

Example

Numerical Value	Template	Result
> 12.34- < 13.5 kg/l	99.99 DDDD	> 12.34- < 13.50 kg/l

Note

You can also define an output function by copying the function module C14N_SYMBOL_METHOD and adjusting it accordingly, for example.
