Currency Formatting Problem

The RFC call normally uses the RFC user settings, and they seem to be "decimal point" in
your case. This is why the ABAP function returns a different value than when you try it
yourself in SE37. You can change the RFC user settings, or you use the "-currentuser" option
in "Call" to issue the call for the user that is currently logged on.

Alternatively, you can change the decimal point into a decimal comma with GuiXT means.
This is a little bit tricky since the "decimalseparator" option in the "Set" command defines both
the input and the output of the number. Use the following coding to avoid this difficulty,
making the number an integer number (no decimals) first:


// example: V[temp_price] is "123,456.50"

set V[x] "&V[temp_price] " * 100 decimalseparator= "."
Set V[x] "&V[x]" / 100 decimals=2 decimalseparator= "," groupseparator= "."

// Now V[x] is "123.456,50"

I tried the -currentuser approach and it worked for awhile. But now, whenever the function call occurs, I get this error:

------------ --------
GuiXT Call RFC Error - Open connection

RFC_ERROR_PROGRAM
RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_ FAILURE
------------ --------- ------

When I remove the -currentuser option, it works fine. I also tried your second conversion approach, but it didn't work...
