Convert Char to float

Hi all,
Am wanting to convert a char value (the infoobject is defined as NUMC) into float in order to perform a calculation in the FOX formula. It would not allow the char value to be stored into a float variable...comes back wz an error message - Types of operands F and <infoobject_numc> do not agree.
Any ways of doing this? I thought about using a function to perform the conversion from char to float format but dont knw if such a function exists on the BI system?
Thanks!

Hi,
I sometimes use a local variable of type STRING to pass on values to other data types:
DATA local type STRING.
local = A.
B = local.
But I'm not sure it will work for you. If not, you can do it with an exit function.

Convert char to ascii code and vice versa

HI
Is there any function module to convert char to ascii code and vice versa.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
be careful if you have unicode running in your system. URL_ASCII_CODE_GET is platform-dependent so it will return the internal HERX representation of the character in your system - which is hopefully and in most cases ASCII.
Under unicode, we use double-byte characters here. I tried this function and the result CHAR_CODE is '00' regardless what character I specify for TRANS_CHAR. But the coding is so simple I corrected resultig in this sample code:
[P]
convert p_form to ASCII (internal) representation
DATA:
    l_ofs TYPE syfdpos,
    l_len TYPE sy-linsz,
    l_ascii TYPE i.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <x> TYPE x.
l_len = STRLEN( p_ascii ).
DO l_len TIMES.
    l_ofs = sy-index - 1.
    ASSIGN p_ascii+l_ofs(1) TO <x> CASTING.
    l_ascii = <x>.
    WRITE: l_ascii.
ENDDO.
[/P]
Here, for each character of string p_ascii, the internal (ASCII) representation is determined and written to the output list.

Clemens

Convert char to dec

Dear all ,
    I have to convert char to dec , my requirement is to covert 12344434 to 123444.34 .
note i don't want 12344434 to 12344434.00 .
Thanks in advance
Debesh

You can try like this.
DATA : v_tot_len TYPE i,
        v_off_len TYPE i.
DATA : v_off_text(50) TYPE c,
        v_dec_text(2) TYPE c,
        v_fin_text(50) TYPE c.
PARAMETERS : p_input TYPE text20 OBLIGATORY.
START-OF-SELECTION.
v_tot_len = STRLEN( p_input ).
v_off_len = v_tot_len - 2.
v_off_text = p_input+0(v_off_len).
v_dec_text = p_input+v_off_len(2).
CONCATENATE v_off_text v_dec_text INTO v_fin_text SEPARATED BY '.'.
Here I am inputting the text to be converted.

Convert char * to LPCTSTR

How I can convert char * to LPCTSTR.
I reading msdn but I don't know nothing sensible to do.
Thx for all hepl.

If your program is not using Unicode as the default, then "char *" is the same thing as LPCTSTR; the compiler will see the same thing, the only difference is that the preprocessor replaces LPCTSTR with "char *".
Your program however is probably using Unicode as the default. If so, then you need to convert the non-Unicode "char *" string to a Unicode string. There are many ways to do that and the most convenient solution for you depends on what your program is already using. If your program is using MFC then there is a MFC solution. If your program is using the CLI (.Net) then there is a different solution using that. If your program uses the C++ standard classes (std namespace) then there is a solution using that. There is also a solution using the C runtime and anotehr using the Windows SDK.

Oracle9i Supplied PL/SQL Package Release 2 (9.2) does'nt support DBMS_LOB.CONVERTTOBLOB procedure.
How I can convert CHAR or CLOB to BLOB in Oracle9i?

Hi Valery,
For conversion to blob, just try the utl_raw package.
I use utl_raw.cast_to_raw quite often.
Or have a look at:

How to convert char to curr ?

Hi gurus.
Forgive me for the silly question.
I have a problem with data conversion from char to curr with 2 decimal places.
This is the scenario, I have a Z transaction which receives an excel file containing data from invoices and when the field contains a value such as 35,0 the program records the value 3.50 in the destination variable. But when the value is 35,45, it works.
Here is the piece of code:
WHEN '0007 '.
        TRANSLATE USING ITAB-VALUE. " '.
        ITAB-VALUE USING TRANSLATE',.'.
        CONDENSE ITAB-VALUE NO-GAPS.
        WA_OPER_MENORES-VL_BRUTO = ITAB-VALUE.
If I format the column in the excel file for numeric value with 2 decimal places also works, because when the value is formatted 35,0 change to 35,00. But I can not tell all the users hey formatt your files before upload to SAP.
To test I generate a simple report that reads the excel file and makes the conversion of the columns, like the code above, so I had no problems. I think there should be some configuration that has been changed in the transaction, but I'm new in ABAP, I come from "Java World" and I have no idea that could be.
I could just use a quick and dirty solution, adding a zero at the end of the column, when there is the 2 decimal places, but I prefer a clean solution.
Guys, is there any function module or class that does that kind of data conversion? If not, you could tell me what is the best practice to solve this problem?
thank you very much,
Ronaldo S. Vieira

Follow this example to convert Char to Curr and Vice-Versa
DATA iamnt(17) TYPE c VALUE '243567.00'.
DATA eamnt TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
DATA oamnt(17) TYPE c.
MOVE iamnt TO eamnt.
WRITE eamnt TO oamnt.
WRITE oamnt.

Converting string to float

I have a decimal string "122339994" which i am trying to convert to float using Float.parseFloat. This results in incorrect value of 1.22339992E8.
I thought for floats precsision comes into effect after decimal places.
public static void main(String[] args) {
String floatString = "122339994";
float floatNumber = Float.parseFloat(floatString);
System.out.println("Float is "+floatNumber+". Now double "+Double.valueOf(floatString));
}

See this API
[Java2SE Float|http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Float.html#valueOf%28java.lang.String%29]
Note that trailing format specifiers, specifiers that determine the type of a floating-point literal (1.0f is a float value; 1.0d is a double value), do not influence the results of this method. In other words, the numerical value of the input string is converted directly to the target floating-point type. In general, the two-step sequence of conversions, string to double followed by double to float, is not equivalent to converting a string directly to float. For example, if first converted to an intermediate double and then to float, the string
"1.00000017881393421514957253748434595763683319091796875001d"
results in the float value 1.0000002f; if the string is converted directly to float, 1.0000001f results.
Its better to see the Java APIs first for any information, we will get almost all the information we need from APIs

JNI: Converting char* to jstring

Hello all, i was wondering if there is another alternative to
env->NewStringUTF(ajstring);in converting char* to jstring as NewStringUTF causes my app to crash.
thanks

Have you tried debugging the application to see why exactly that method is crashing?
Finding alternatives is not a solution, there is a problem here that you need to figure out. Are you sure env is valid? Are you sure ajstring is a valid string (null-terminated for example)?

How to convert char(1) to int32 datatype in pl/sql

Hello,
I am trying to convert char(1) to an integer data type to be put into an int32 variable in C#. I tried several options such as TO_NUMBER ,CAST(.. AS INTEGER), and CAST(.. AS SMALLINT) but they all return int64.
Is there a way to ensure the casting into a datatype that is compatible with int32 ?
Thanks

Oracle's SQL Datatypes are limited to NUMBER, BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE.
There's a few others through PL/SQL including BINARY_INTEGER.
If you look in USER_ARGUMENTS you can see it is defined slightly differently.
Don't know whether / how .Net infers datatypes, but it is worth a shot.
create or replace function v (p number) return binary_integer is
begin
return p;
end;

Converting char to decimal value format as defined in SU3(User profile)

Hi Techies,
Is there any FM to convert CHAR value into Decimal fomat as defined in SU3.
If we use, WRITE statement for printing the value in decimal format , it shows the value in decimal format correctly
in SU3 transaction , there are three different decimal format notations which can be user specific
I would appreciate your valuable inputs ....
Thanks

This is my code in a generic method to transform a table into a csvrow

        tmpstr = <p_field>.
        len = strlen( tmpstr ) - 1.
        tmpstr = tmpstr+0(len).

          sign = '-'.
        else.
          sign = ' '.
        endif.
        case decimalformat.
          when 'X' or 'E'.
            split tmpstr at '.' into int frac.
            ptmp = int.
            write ptmp to cp.
            shift cp left deleting leading space.
            replace all occurrences of '.' in cp with ','.
            concatenate
              s

              delimiter
            into s in character mode.

            concatenate s sign tmpstr delimiter into s in character mode.
          when others.
            concatenate s '????????' delimiter into s in character mode.
        endcase.
where pfield is a fieldsymbol type P. (honestly ist from type any, but determined by RTTI). I needed this cause i want to format the value from "outside" without taking the user settings in consideration as write...to.. is doing.
What i'm doing is to use the write... to... clause modifying the result (change decimal point, thousand separator and sign) according to the demanded decimal notation.
