Print a number variable as a real number without approximation forms

Dear all
I want to pront my variable number without approximation forms, here is my output problem:
SQL> select imsi from table where num like '393';
number
*2.2202E+14*
I want that the output will display as a real nyumber without approximation.

All you're doing is turning a number specified in scientific notation to a number i.e. doing nothing.
Just to prove it, if you look at the underlying datatypes:
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 select dump(2.2202E+14)
2 ,dump(cast(2.2202E+14 as number(38,2)))
3* from dual
SQL> /
DUMP(2.2202E+14)
DUMP(CAST(2.2202E+14ASNUMBER(38,2)))
Typ=2 Len=4: 200,3,23,3
Typ=2 Len=4: 200,3,23,3Both the original number and the CAST'd number produce identical results.
The difference is that your SQL Developer environment isn't set up to display large numbers in scientific notation, but displays it as a full number.
The issue the OP was having was that querying a number in the SQL*Plus environment (as indicated by the "SQL>") a full number was being displayed as the short hand scientific notation.

to add the proof of cast making no difference.

Dear Mr.Nagarajan garu,
Thanks for the reply and the problem is not with one specific PLD, even it is not allowing to view SAP given PLD's also.
And it is happening only with the inventory related transactions.
EX- If invoice had any base document then it can be viewable.
If Invoice/GRPO docs were directly posted then printing error is throwing
Thanks & Regards

What variable use to show number of quiz ?

what variable use to show number of quiz ?
(it like Absolute)
it is not in (reference of captivate)
for example, quiz have 5 page.
on test page 1 show 1.
on test page 2 show 2.
on test page 5 show 5.
it like microsoft word show page number when print
sorry if you not understand.

All quizzing system variables are described in these blog posts: System variables in Captivate 6 - Captivate blog and for 7.0.1: New features in Captivate 7.01 - Captivate blog. In 8 no variables were added to the category Quizzing. And there is no progress quizzing system variable. Only the total number of questions, second part of the progress indicator, is available: cpQuizIntoTotalQuestionsPerProject.
You'll have to create and populate a user variable. Some help maybe in: Customized Progress Indicator - Captivate blog

57F4 challan print - getting parent item no and po number for child item

Hi ,
In 57F4 challan, Subcontract components - i.e Child items are used for creating the challans.
However while printing needs the parent item no with the purchase order number for that child item number.
It is getting stored in RM07M structure.
Any inputs / suggestions how to retrive parent item number and purchase order number for child item i.e for subcontract items?
Thank you .
Prasad.

Thank you for the reply. I checked the table RSEG table for material document and PO details, however the RSEG gets populated when there is credit or debit entries.
In this 57F4 challan there is no credit or debit enteries hence would not get in RSEG table.
Appreciate your inputs for any other alternative.
OR is there any table or Function Module to get the enteries of the struture of RM07M .

Using a number variable in an SQL statement

Hi,
I am trying to use a variable in an sql statement and I have run into problems when the variable is a number. The following line of code works if the variable is a string but not if it is a number.
"SELECT TOP 1 UUT_STATUS FROM UNIT_UUT_RESULT WHERE UnitID = '" + Locals.LocalUnitID + "' ORDER BY START_DATE_TIME DESC"
Is there a difference in the use of the single and double quotes and the + sign for number variables?
Thanks
Stuart
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Stuart,
I am assuming that the UnitID is stored as a numeric in the database? If so, the proper SQL syntax for comparing with numerics should not use a single quote (or any quotes for that matter). The quotes are used only for strings.
So you would want to use:
"SELECT TOP 1 UUT_STATUS FROM UNIT_UUT_RESULT WHERE UnitID = " + Locals.LocalUnitID + " ORDER BY START_DATE_TIME DESC"
This is really more of an SQL question universal to all languages, not just TestStand.
Here is an excellent resource that you can consult:

Page number variable based on text anchor & referencing numbered list

I've looked and looked, not only in Adobe's help centers but also just in Google, and I simply cannot find an answer one way or another to my questions!
I'd like to do 2 things:
1 - Use a variable to reference on what page more information can be found on a certain subject (i.e. To find out more, please see page ##.), though the page number will undoubtedly change as I continue working on this project and eventually build my book from the various documents I've created. I can insert some kind of marker or text anchor or whatever I need to by the information I'm referencing, as long as it's not visible, of course. I'd just like to have a dynamic reference so I don't have to go back through and try to verify that my page references are all correct. The Current Page variable will not help me in this case.
2 - I'd also like to reference some numbered tables I have; they are currently setup as being numbered by a custom paragraph style that is in number mode 'Continue from previous number'; another situation where table numbers will change as I continue working on this book and I'd like a dynamic solution. If I need to insert a variable to calculate the table numbers, rather than use the paragraph style numbering system, that's fine; I'd rather do a bit more work now so that I can be assured my references are accurate when this is all said and done!
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Thanks a lot; I just didn't delve deep enough into that and misunderstood some of the relevant options that did exactly what I needed.
Thanks again!

How can I make imaginary number with known real number

I need to compose pure imeginary number in my programming(ie. chamge the real number to be the imeginary part of a complex number). But The functions I found can only change the real number to be the real part of a ccomplex number. How can I compose or make imaginary number with known real number? And Can LABVIEW cope with computation of complex numbers directly?

Use the Re/Im To Complex function, which is found on the Functions >> Numeric >> Complex palette.
Good luck,
Jim

Printing Error - pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone could assist me with this. After googling like crazy for a solution I thought I had to post here on the forums. I'm a new Mac user (only a few days now) so please bear with me. I will also post this on the Java Forums because I don't know if this is a problem with my code or with the Mac settings.
Setup
I've got a Java Applet running on the mac (written in Eclipse 64 bit) on a Mac with OS X 10.6.4 on. Also, Java 1.6.0_21 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) is installed on the machine. The printer installed is a ZPL Label Printer (Zebra Technologies ZTC GK420d).
If I use another application such as TextEdit to print, it works fine.
*Problem Description*
Whenever I try print from the Applet nothing comes from the printer, my code does not break or catch any exception at all but the printer queue gives the error: *pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000.*
Code
The code I use with this Java Applet works absolutely fine on Windows XP 32 bit (IE 7.0, Google Chrome and Firefox) as well as on Windows 7 64 bit (I.E 8.0, Google Chrome and Firefox) but never on the Mac. For any developers who might be able to help, the code is below:

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this and print to the ZPL printer from my Java Applet on the Mac?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

We managed to solve our own problem. This was not directly a Java Problem, but a problem with the setup of the Zebra printer on the Mac. Printing directly to the ZPL Printer never worked and always gave the error Printing Error - pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number -31000.
To solve this, we had to use the CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) interface. CUPS is apparently installed standard with every Mac. Being a new Mac user I didn't even know this a week ago. We had to use CUPS to add the printer, set it to be a "RAW" printer and then add something called a Class. Now when printing from the Java Applet, we DO NOT print to the actual Zebra printer, we print to the Class.
Here are the steps on how to accomplish all this:
1. As an Admin user, log onto Cups using the Safari browser by entering *http://localhost:631* into the Address Bar.
2. Select the Administration tab and click, ‘Add Printer’
3. Select the required local printer and then ‘Continue’
4. Enter a Name, Description, Location and uncheck the ‘Share This Printer’ checkbox, where:
a. Name = Queue Name (e.g. Zebra_RAW)
b. Description = Human Readable Description (e.g. Zebra1)
c. Location = Human Readable Location (e.g. My Mac mini)
5. Click ‘Continue’
6. Click ‘Select Another Make/Manufacturer’ and select ‘Raw’. Click ‘Continue’
7. Click ‘Add Printer’
8. Check that Banners are ‘none’ and Policies are ‘stop-printer’ (Error) and ‘default’ (Operation)
9. Click ‘Set Default Options’
10. Under the Administration tab, click Add Class.
11. Enter a Name, Description, Location and select the Members:
a. Name = Queue Name (e.g. ZebraRAWClass)
b. Description = Human Readable Description (e.g. ZebraRaw)
c. Location = Human Readable Location (e.g. My Mac mini)
d. Members = the Queue Name of the new raw printer
12. The only visible printers on the list then will be your non-raw printer/s and the printer class which you just created.
13. Now when printing from Java Code, you must use the class as the printer in order to print raw ZPL.
So in my example code in the previous post, I would print like this: PrintLabelZPL("^XA^FO100,40^BY3^B3,,30^FD123ABC^XZ","ZebraRaw");
And it works! I hope this can help others with the same / similar problem.

Make a variable return a random number?

I need to know how to quickly make a variable return a random number, in PHP if i wanted a variable to return a random number it'd look like this using a built in function,
(int)$my_variable = rand(0,10); // returns 0 through 10 randomly
How can i do this with Java if say my variable looks like this.
public Integer madeThisUp = 1; // Needs to be random 0-10 aswell..
I can't find any tutorials on this that make clear sense to me, :-\

2) java.util.Random has a bunch of methods that
correspond directly to common uses of random numbers.
I can't imagine a situation where Math.random would
be easier to understand.case in point, when a method is provided for you but you
try to reinvent it with:
int i = (int) (Math.random() * 10);

Group Number Variable

I would like a group number variable formula to be added as a feature to Crystal Reports. This is how it would work:
For example, You have a sum of records for a group called payroll. The total is $20,000. Payroll is comprised of FICA, Medicare, and Salary etc. You want to add a budget amout for this group using a group number variable. The budget amount is $20,000. This budget amount would remain static for this group. The difference would be sum of records payroll group- group number variable which is $20,000 - 22,000=-2,000. Right now the maxinium function and manual running totals have to be used to arrive at the same figure. The group number variable could be used in cross tabs as well. Does anyone know if something like this is being planned?
Seán

Perhaps you're on an earlier version?Â It's just called "GroupNumber".Â It will return what group you are on.Â Have you tried using that function for your needs?

Returns the integer part of a real number

Hello,
I need to know an integer value as part of a real number, like this:
double a = 0;
double x = 0;
x = 1500.00;
a = (x / 1000);
now "a" must be equal to 1.
Pascal has a function INT (a = INT(x/1000)), and what about java ?
Thanks for help,
guido

SUS PO document number same as ECC PO number

Hi Experts,
We are on SRM 7.0 with ECC EHP4, SUS4.0 with SRM on single client.
The requirement is to have the same SUS PO document number as the ECC PO number so that supplier would not require to refer to another number and avoid confusions.
Else can we hide SUS document link and enable the PO document number as a link for processing in SUS. Please let me know the best possible solutions if any.
Thanks,
-Devi Swain

Hi Devi,
There seems a liitle chance of confusion as the ECC PO no. is also displayed along with SUS document number in the "List of PO" screen and also in the PO secreen.
Making ECC PO no. as a link would defitely require development and then you have to hide the SUS document no. to avoid presumed confusion.
What i have proposed to my client is that we will include the ECC PO no. on the PO print (through smartforms). This was well accepted.
You may try to propose this.
If not accepted then the only way is development.
