Hi!
I HAVE a NUMBER 0000.699 and I need it on 6.9900000E-01 format!
HOW I CAN DO THAT????
Please its urgent!!
Tks in advance

Hi,
Check this FM "CTCV_CONVERT_DATE_TO_FLOAT" . It can convert any 30 digits of number to float.
You can even copy the source code of this Function Module and extend it beyond 30 numbers.

How to convert a number to FLOAT with 9 decimal values.

Hi all,
I need to convert a number like '10.02' to a floating point number with 9 decimal values like '10.022111221'. I think that the right function is TO_BINARY_FLOAT, but how can I obtain 9 decimal values? If I use the following syntax:
select TO_BINARY_FLOAT(num) from table
I obtain a floating point values with a variable number of decimal numbers after the ".", instead I need 9 number after ".".
Regards,
Maurizio.

Hi,
the number I need to select is the result of a product, for example:
select (Num_A * Num_B) from Table;
Num_A has 2 decimal numbers, like 12.01 and Num_B could be: 12.111111111.
Now, Num_A * Num_B = 653.999999994
but I issue:
select TO_BINARY_FLOAT(54.00 * 12.111111111) from Table
I obtain:
654, a rounded value, but I need 653.999999994.

Converting SSN Number

can anybody tell me the logic to convert ssn number
421-64-8951 to 421648951 .Plz answer urgently,points will be awarded undoubtedly.

u can use REPLACE statement
DATA : TEST1(11) type C VALUE '421-64-8951'.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '-' IN TEST1 WITH ''.
*Note : its two times single qoute at last in above statement without any space between quotes
OR
USE CONCATENATE with Offset settings...
See below code
DATA:TEST1(11) type C VALUE '421-64-8951',
TEST2(3) type c,
TEST3(2) type c,
TEST4(6) type c,
TEST5(9) TYPE C.
move test1+0(3) to test2.
move test1+4(2) to test3.
move test1+7(6) to test4.
concatenate test2 test3 test4 into test5.
write:/ test5.
Hope it will solve your problem..

Hi want to convert a number in crore, e.g. 10000000 to 1.00 Can anybody help on this?

Hi All,
I want to convert a number in crore format.
My basic problem is, I am using a custome format:
#,##0.00,,,%;
Here main task is done by ,,,%.
Each comma (,) is dividing a number by 1000. Thus three commas are dividing a number by 10^9 digits.
But I need number in crore (i.e. 10^7), Thus we have used this percent sign (%).
Here I can get required Value but appended percent (%) to it. I can temporary hide this using wrap text.
But I need exact solution to convert a number in crore.
Can anybody help me regarding the same.

Any1 aware of a function module to convert a number in exponential form

any1 aware of a function module to convert a number in exponential form to normal form...
eg... a no. like 8.00000000000004E-01
8.88888888888884E-01
and
a no. like 1.50000000000000E+00

I think you can just move from type F to type p.
p = f .

Convert a number value to a date

Post Author: Jeremiah
CA Forum: Formula
I'm using Crystal Reports XI. I'm coming across a problem trying to convert a
number value to a date. I'm using formula below: if not isnull({qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE}) or {qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE}="0"the(stringvar MyDate:= ToText({StoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE},0,"");cdate(2000 + val(left(MyDate,1)),val(mid(MyDate,2,2)),val(right(MyDate,2))))
For this line, I'm receiving an error msg of that "A month number must be between 1 and 12
Here are some of the field's data examples
70608
70501
0
61231 Would anybody have any ideas on how to solve this?

Post Author: SKodidine
CA Forum: Formula
You are getting the error "A month number must be between 1 and 12" because you are trying to convert 0 to a date. The third data item in your field data.
I suggest you default the date to some date when it is zero or eliminate 0 as a date from your formula such as:
if not isnull({qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE})
then(stringvar MyDate:= ToText({StoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE},0,"")
else
If {qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE} = 0 then (stringvar MyDate:= "00101"); // If date is zero then it is set to 2000/01/01
After this, you will not have problems with a zero date.

Essbase 9.3 Calc scripts. Pb with dates. How to convert (string = number) ?

Hello,
I've a problem with Essbase(Planning?) Scripts on version 9.3. It looks simple but I do not find any (clean) solution :
On my Essbase database, I have a member called "Reference_Date" on my axis Indicators. It is a date data type, that is to say, it displays a number corresponding to a YYYYMMDD format. For example : 20091029 for October 29th 2009.
In calc scripts I often need to compare the month included in that "Reference_Date" with the current Member of my Time Axis (I have 12 Months members based on the format M02 for February for example). The final aim is to calculate a number of complete years since that "Reference_Date".
But theses two elements are not of the same "type" (one is a number value and the other is a "member" in Time Axis). So I'm forced to convert one of this two elements in order to compare it.
For example I can extract the month value of the "Reference_Date"' and put an "M" before it to have a Time member equivalent or I can convert the member Name M10 to a number (10))
in both cases I have the same type problem : I don't know how to convert a string into a number nor how to convert a number into a string.
(For example @CONCATENATE doesn't work with numbers). and that my only remaining problem.
I didn't find any Essbase Function which do this (conversion number <=>string).
Is anyone have an Idea ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards

I don't know any way for you to compare your data against your metadata. Not directly. To me it makes little enough sense to try that I'm not surprised the developers didn't provide for it.
I've converted member names to strings, manipulated the strings (calc script functions are not good at this), and turned them back into member names, but that's really the only use I've had for string manipulation. I don't think an equivalency operator even exists for string data. And I see no way to begin thinking of a member name, once converted to a string, as a number.
It makes even less sense to me to try thinking of a data value as a string. Even text values in Sys 11 are stored as numbers. Not encoded characters, but just a number to look up somewhere.
I think you can do what you want though, with something like this...
IF (@ISMBR("FY08"))
vYr = 2008;
ELSEIF (@ISMBR("FY09"))
vYr = 2009;
ENDIF;
IF (@ISMBR("M01"))
vMth = 1;
ELSEIF (@ISMBR("M02"))
vMth = = 2;
ENDIF;
"Years_Since_Reference" = ((vYr * 100) + Mth) - ("Reference_Date" / 12);
Obviously, the math will need some work, coz that doesn't actually work, but the logic above essentially turns your metadata into numbers, which is what you are after.
Good luck,

Optimize function to correct a string to be converted to number

Hi,
I have imported almost 6.5 milion rows into a table (using sql loader) from a flat file (which contains the NUL caracter (ASCII 0) - not space, not NULL). To make the load easier I set the datatype as VARCHAR2 for all columns. For columns with string data I used a TRIM(REPLACE(field,' ','')) to get rid of the NUL and it works.
But for the column that must be converted to numeric I am trying to use to_number () function and it fails because the numeric data is mixed with other characters.
To solve this problem I created this function :
CREATE OR REPLACE
FUNCTION string_to_number
(p_string_source IN VARCHAR2 ) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS v_output_string varchar2(150);
-- This function takes a string as parameter and has 2 outputs:
-- 1. If the source string cannot be converted to number throw 'Error' as the output message to identify the line with the issue
-- 2. A string that can be converted successfully as Number;
-- The necessity of this function came up after an import from a flat file where the resulted string contained strange characters shown as spaces
--check if '-' is exists and is on the first position or if in the source string exists more than one '.'
-- ASCII codes accepted in the string :
-- 45 '-' ; 46 '.' ; from 48 (0) to 57 (9)
BEGIN
DECLARE v_minus VARCHAR2(1);
v_dot INTEGER;
BEGIN
SELECT substr(p_string_source,1,1) INTO v_minus FROM dual;
SELECT instr(p_string_source,'.',1,2) INTO v_dot FROM dual;
--check if '-' is exists and is on the first position or if in the source string exists more than one '.'
-- ASCII codes accepted in the string :
-- 45 '-' ; 46 '.' ; from 48 (0) to 57 (9)
IF v_minus NOT IN ('-','.','0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9')
-- or there are two dots '.' in the string
OR v_dot <> 0
THEN v_output_string := 'Error';
ELSE
BEGIN
-- for every character of the string we'll check if it's a number to add it to the outcome string;
-- if it's not an accepted character it will be ignored
DECLARE v_length_source int := length(p_string_source);
v_counter int :=1;
v_add_in_number VARCHAR2(1);
BEGIN
FOR v_counter IN 1..v_length_source LOOP
BEGIN
SELECT SUBSTR(p_string_source,v_counter,1) into v_add_in_number from dual;
IF v_add_in_number IN ('-','.','0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9')
THEN v_output_string := v_output_string ||v_add_in_number;
END IF;
END;
END LOOP;
END;
-- in case the string is in format '.00034' we'll add a 0 in front of the string to be accepted as argument by TO_NUMBER function
IF v_minus = '.'
THEN v_output_string := '0'||v_output_string;
ELSE
BEGIN
v_output_string := v_output_string;
END;
END IF;
END;
END IF;
END;
RETURN v_output_string;
END;
The main idea is to check every string (the parameter will be the value from the Amount column) for permitted characters that compose a numeric value:
1. To begins with numeric, '-' or '.'
2. To have only one '.' (as a decimal separator);
3. To compare every character of the string with the permitted ones - the non-compliant will be rejected
This way the resulting string (v_output_string) will be successfully converted to number
I admit that I don't have much experience using PL/SQL that is why I am asking your help to optimize this function to improve its performance. Could you help me on this, please ?
TIA,
JohnP

Perform a function here on all 6.5 million of rows will never be efficient.
I would modify Peter's approach a little bit,
1. Load directly into staging t1 without any checking (or create an external table)
2. Transfer from t1 to a list partitioned t2 with list values in ('yes', 'no','null','other')
--simple check using translate()
3. Apply your special function only on rows in the 'other' partition (hopefully much fewer rows left)
--other checks

Convert from String to float

How do I convert from String to float?

Hi,
you can use a Double for example - assuming value is that string to parse
float f;
try { Double d = new Double(value); f = d.floatValue(); }
catch (NumberFormatException e) { f = 0.0; } // error - string value could not be parsed
// here use your float fHope, that helps
greetings Marsian
P.S.: the Double class is usefull for that, because you also can get intValue(), doubleValue() or longValue() out of it for example. The StreamTokenizer for example parses numbers also only to double.
