Documentation
Definition
The format of the data in the source.
Use
Source data that is transferred as text can differ from the internal, SAP character representation, that is, the internal format. This field specifies whether the data is supplied in an internal or external format.
Possible Options
Example
Where z is a digit and v a sign, then a number with two decimal places can be represented in text as zzzz.zzv (internal, SAP representation), or, for example, vz.zzz,zz (a possible external representation).
The number could also be binary coded. This final possibility is not, however, taken into consideration here.
