Documentation
Definition
Entries for this characteristic are checked against this template.
Character Format (CHAR):
You can only define template characters which have previously been defined via settings in Customizing. These settings determine whether a template can contain only letters, figures, figures or letters, or special characters.
Numeric Format (NUM):
Numeric template characters can also be defined in Customizing.
The separator for thousands (period or comma) is taken from the values in the user master record. Manual entry of this separator is optional.
If you want negative values to be allowed, this can be defined by entering a left-justified or right-justified minus sign.
There are three options for displaying figures with an exponent:
- Standard format
The exponent is set automatically. There is exactly one place before the decimal point.
- Predefined exponent
Each figure is automatically scaled to the predefined exponent.
- Scientific format
The exponent is set automatically in steps of 3. There are exactly three places before the decimal point.
The exponent must always be positioned directly after the mantissa.
As an aid to entry, you also have the option of entering a unit directly next to the exponent. This unit is subsequently ignored in characteristics maintenance in template selection.
