Amount in words - Passing Parameters

shibily

Hi,
How can i print decimal amount in words. I have tried using report 1401. However i am not sure about the parameters to pass in the function 'FormatNoText' ,Especially the first parameter ' VAR NoText : ARRAY [2] OF Text[80] ' .

Anybody please explain this.

Thanks in advance.

You can look at the code in this report 1401, DataItem Integer "PrintCheck", how this function is used:

FormatNoText(DescriptionLine,CheckLedgEntry.Amount,BankAcc2."Currency Code");

DescriptionLine is a global variable, of type Text80, with 2 dimensions (= array).
The other parameters are clear I suppose.

DescriptionLine[1] will contain the first 80 characters of the generated text, while DescriptionLine[2] will contain the other 80 chars.

hi Luc an Dyck,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried with the same function. When i call the function what the function expects as the first parameter(DescriptionLine)?

Thanks

I said it already in my answer: find the global variable called DescriptionLine in report 1401, and copy this one in your code.

You can view also the properties for this variable, and then you'll see that it has 2 dimensions.

Hello,

FormatNoText(DescriptionLine,CheckLedgEntry.Amount,BankAcc2."Currency Code");

The first parameter of the above function does not expect anything but is a type of variable which will contains the return value of the function. You can display its value in section as DescriptionLine[1] and DescriptionLine[2].

Hi,

I used the following steps


DescriptionLine[1] := Text021; // Text021=VOIDVOIDVOID
DescriptionLine[2] := DescriptionLine[1];

FormatNoText(DescriptionLine,556,amnt); // amnt := Currency.Code (selected USD)
MESSAGE(DescriptionLine[1]);

Message i got displayed is " **** HUNDRED AND ZERO ONLY " . I am getting the same output for any amount i pass in the function.

Please give any suggestions

Thanks

Run the debugger and check whether any amount is carried to report 1401. It happened with me once when I send a flow field value without using CalcFields.

Hi,
Currently i am checking by using a new screen by passing the parametrs hard coded .
I used the functions ' FormatNoText ' and ' AddToNoText ' from the report 1401.

Thanks

Hi All,

In reference to shibily's post, I am too getting the only message as " **** HUNDRED AND ZERO ONLY " and I am unable to resolve it.

Could some tell me, how It can be resolved.

Many Thanks.

We are suppose to add the below code before we call the FormatNoText() which will initialize the text and then will display the correct wordings.

CheckReport.InitTextVariable;

CheckReport is of Type "Report" and subtype "Check".
