Convert char to number

I am using to_char("FOMS_DFL"."Adjustment Hours",'9999.9') to my desired format. But I am not able to sum the Adjustment Hours. Can i convert the to_char("FOMS_DFL"."Adjustment Hours",'9999.9') to number using any function.

Actually I am using this in a reporting tool, so I have created a variable like
to_number(to_char("FOMS_DFL"."Adjustment Hours",'9999.9')) and then I sum it in the bottom of the footer as Sum((to_number(to_char("FOMS_DFL"."Adjustment Hours",'9999.9'))). Can I do this.Try it and see.
If "TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR ..." doesn't cause an error, then all it will do is round the number from each row to the nearest tenth before contributing to the SUM. (That is, if you had 10 rows, each with .049, each row and the grand total would be 0.)
Why not simply use the number? Your front-end tool probably has a way of displaying numbers in a given format.

Converting char to number value specfically like '6.35'

I am facing a very peculiar problem, if i try to convert a FLOATING NO. in form of CHARACTER to NUMBER value , then to_number function gives VALUE-ERROR
eG. TO_NUMBER('6.35') is resulting in an error. But TO_NUMBER('6') works fine. My forms are working absolutely ok on 2-tier but not on 3-tier.Please Help.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Bogdan Dincescu ([email protected]):
Must have something to do with your NLS settings on your application server, something for the decimal separator. I guess to_number('6,35') would work OK.
I'm not sure exactly what settings you should have on the application server.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thank you for your reply, I guess it can be the problem becoz forms with such code are working fine on Win2000 but are giving a problem on NT , can u give me a clue why it is happening ???

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;

Convert any base number to decimal

Is there a way to convert any number of base 2-16 into decimal?
The numbers can be input using scanner
Anyone has any code for this?

Hey, guys this is what I got so far for this. But, of course there are issues
1. I'm not sure how to show "invalid" message if a character or floating point number is entered
2. I'm not sure about the code that will only allow the relevant numbers to be entered for each base.
E.g - If base = 2 then number == 1 || 0
This has to be repeated for all allowed base from 2-16
Please help!!!
import java.util.Scanner;
public class BaseConverter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int base;
String number;
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter base value (Integer between 2 to 16): ");
base = scanner.nextInt();
if (base < 2 || base > 16) { // how to get same invalid message for character or float (e.g. -12.2)
System.out.println("Invalid base. Please retry");
return;
System.out.print("Enter the number in base : ");
number = scanner.next();
if (scanner.hasNext()) { // not sure how to validate in relation to entered base
} else {
System.out.println("Invalid number. Please retry");
return;
int decimalValue = 0;
int step = 0;
for (int i = number.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
char c = number.charAt(i);
int cValue = Character.digit(c, base);
decimalValue = decimalValue + (cValue * (int) Math.pow(base, step));
step = step + 1;
System.out.println("Decimal value: " + decimalValue);
}

Are there multiple columns in the table you are using from your LOV?
Your LOV select is:
select
from   DW_RFA_JOBDATA
where FINISH_TIME >= :P1_START_DATE
and FINISH_TIME < :P1_END_DATE
     AND RFA_FLAG = (CASE :P1_JOB_CLASSIFICATION WHEN '0' THEN 'LSF'
                                  WHEN '1' THEN 'NON-LSF'
                                  ELSE RFA_FLAG END)Maybe try this:
select
from   DW_RFA_JOBDATA
where FINISH_TIME >= :P1_START_DATE
and FINISH_TIME < :P1_END_DATE
     AND TO_CHAR(RFA_FLAG) = DECODE(:P1_JOB_CLASSIFICATION,'0','LSF','1','NON-LSF',RFA_FLAG)

Any way to Convert CHAR(8) field to QUAN(8)?

Any way to Convert CHAR(8) field to QUAN(8)?
Thank-You.

Hi
The MOVE statament automatically converts the data format
DATA: VAR_IN(8) TYPE C,
VAR_OUT TYPE P.
MOVE VAR_IN TO VAR_OUT.
It's important your char has only number and the point as separator of decimal part.

Thanks
Kumar

First verify that the field you want to convert is a number. Try using the following function:
data: v_char_field(100),
      v_qty_num type rl03t-pickm.
    call function 'MOVE_CHAR_TO_NUM'
         exporting
              chr             = v_char_field
         importing
              num             = v_qty_num
         exceptions
              convt_no_number = 1
              convt_overflow = 2.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      "write/throw error message

Char to number

Hi all,

Oho, its my reqirement.I've not come across any requirements from my business that ask me to store dates as numbers and therfore break all technical and sensible programming practices.
Date should be stored as dates, not numbers, and not varchar's.
If you store them as anything other than DATE you will end up with bugs in your code and problems with your data.
Requirements shouldn't be dictating the technical way to achieve something, they should be specifying the business and logical requirements.

Converting char into dec

Dear all,
I have data as char for example: 3,52 as char, when i try to transform data directly into key figure as number dec, it gives error message saying: it can not be interpreted as number..
Is there any easy way to convert data into number?
thanks

Hello John,
First, I would try to replace comma sign in your char into dot, in abap routine, using REPLACE statement. According to what you wrote - 3.52 it returns 3,52 ok - it could work. After that, you can use formula to change it into number, if needed.

Is there a way to convert skype online number cont...

That was the general question, and here are my details:
I have had a skype number for many years and it was great, around $5.5 a month to call all phones in North America from my laptop from any place in the world with internet. With time, I had a ccumulated a relatively large number of contacts (name of person or party & their phone number(s)). Now I decided that I finally need a regular "smart" cellphone with an AT &T 10c/minute and no data (that's the only way that I understand is not a rip-off, I'm counting on my really unlimited mobile hotspot to get wifi). Now, the company will have me purchase minutes every 30 days which doesn't look very bad considering that I don't have my wifi all the time.
The problem I'm having is, how to transfer or convert the name/number list on skype to name/number list on my phone? so I can call the same numbers I used to call on slype with my AT&T minutes?
Typing the numbers one-by-one to my phone may take days!! so, I figured out that there must be away to do it automatically, rather than manually.
Any help is very appreciated

Is there any answer skype people?????

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.
Regards,
Clemens

Hi,
Try with CAST() and CONVERT() functions. For more information refer use this url : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx.
It is more easy to get solution if you can post your query.
