Minus sign on the left and comma as separation sign

Question

I want to display a decimal number on an ALV. But the minus sign on negative values is shown on the right side. When I use the FA "CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT" I need to use a char typed value. If I do that the comma is replaced by a separation point.

How can I achieve both, minus sign on the left and comma as separation sign.

Thanks for any hints!

Try using CL_SALV_COLUMN method SET_EDIT_MASK to set either a classic mask or a conversion exit. For some reason, that method was lost in the translation of the online documentation - it is present in the German version, but missing in the English version.
