Hi pavan,

If your variable is 9(5) numeric... to get it displayed with currency sign...

picture of the field should be $99999...

after moving 11111 in this variable it gives $11111.

Hi Pavan,

Priyesh's solution works well if the field is filled totally with no leading zeros. If the field contains "1" it DISPLAYs as "$00001. Kind of awkward.

If you have a field defined as 9(005)V99 and it contains 12700, you may want to define a display field as $$$$$9.99. If you move the original field to the display field and DISPLAY it, it will display as:

bb$127.00 where b is a leading space. Note that the display field contains 2 more positions than the original field. The additional positions are needed to accommodate a 7 digit number and the $ sign and the decimal point.

hi all,

thanks for answers but I want the amount should display with in parenthesis ( and ).

I am able to display the amount like $125.00 but I want to display like ($125.00) and my picture clause is $9(6)9.9(2).

I am getting the result if the value is 5.00 is
( $5.00) but I have to get ($5.00)

I hope the problem is clear.

Then you'll have to define a variable with three sub-level.

01 Final-Value
05 First-Bracket PIC X Value "(".
05 Data-Value PIC $$$$9.
05 Last-Bracket PIC X Value ")".
