title: How to write number with sign on the left and thousands separator point
body: <p>I am holding the number in character format in abap. Because I have to take the minus from right to left. So I have to put the number to character and shift or using function <strong>'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'</strong> I'm moving minus character to left.</p>
  <p>But after assigning number to character it doesn't hold the points. I mean my number is;</p>
  <ul>
  <li>1.432- (as integer)</li>
  <li>-1432 (as character)</li>
  </ul>
  <p>I want;</p>
  <ul>
  <li>-1.432 (as character)</li>
  </ul>
  <p>is there a shortcut for this or should I append some string operations.</p>
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>
  <p>Here is what I'm doing now.</p>
  <pre><code>data: mustbak_t(10) TYPE c,
        mustbak like zsomething-menge.
  
  select single menge from zsomething into mustbak where something eq something.
  mustbak_t = mustbak.
  
  CALL FUNCTION 'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'
    CHANGING
    VALUE         = mustbak_t.
  
  write: mustbak_t.
  </code></pre>
