2 decimal places only?

I am using Captivate 5.5, I have a custom variable (vtime), and I would like to show the time out to hundreths of a second. Captivate outputs to more than 2 decimal places.
Is there way to limit to only 2 decmal places without programming?

I'm sorry, but the answer is NO. This is fixed in Cp6 but that doesn't help you of course.

U261B An Issue due to 3 Decimal Places in Percentage - Help Required

I've an Issue in BEX report output, which is like when I try to create a 'Percentage' computation on a Key Figure Value, I'm getting 3 decimal places as 'default' output.
The 'Calculations' settings I made for this KF is
> Calculate Result as ... Nothing Defined
> Calculate Single Values as .... Normalize According to Next Group Level Result
> [✔] Apply to results
> Calculation Direction - Along Rows
☹ I ran SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN and set object 'IGNORE_T006_ANDEC' to the value 'X' - Not woking! Should I choose Update/Insert/Delete??
☹ T006-ANDEC & T006-DECAN for '%' has 0 decimal places only. Am I checking the correct stuff?
☹ OSS note 866505 not helpful for my issue. BW 7.0 Stack
I'm getting my output as expected, but the only worrying factor is 3 decimal places due to the 'Calculations'. I'm unable to resolve using existing methods. Should I raise an OSS Note for this?
Please help...

Hi, I posted a message to SAP on this topic and got an explanation - it is a behaviour that cannot be changed in certain cases:
it is the known design that it is always displayed with three decimal
places for normalized values and the setting in Query Designer for
decimal place doesn't take effect. This is because that normalization
changes the number dimension of this structure element.
You may refer to below notes about more details.
> 869135 Decimal places and scaling for "Calculate Single Values As"
You cannot set the number of decimal places or the scaling for some
columns or structural components.
For 2: Some "Calculate As" functions change the number dimension of a
KID. In this case, the scaling and the number of decimal places set for
the KID are no longer relevant. In this case, the system ignores the
original setting and selects a setting that corresponds to the new
number dimension. This cannot be overwritten. The following functions
are affected:
Calculate Single Values as Scale to Result, Overall Result or Query
Result: Scaling 1 and three decimal places.
> 501930 Number of decimal places setting is not applied
As a result, normalized values resulting from the list calculation are
displayed with three decimal places and without scaling by default.

Changing of decimal places from 2 to 6 digits

Hi,
Currently, our PO price and GR/GI quantities are being limited to two (2) decimal places only. However, we want to maintain it into six (6) digits so that we can have a more accurate PO price and GR/GI quantities in our record.
We tried to do this in Tcode OY04 but the system issued as the following warning messages:
1. In a productive system, you must not delete the currencies in use or change the decimal places. This could make amounts in document already posted incorrect or invalid.
2. In the R/3 System tables currency fields are stored as decimal figures with a variable number of decimal places. The decimal point is not stored in the field in the database. Instead, each currency field refers to a currency key field. In this transaction you assign the number of decimal places to this currency key uniquely.
Can you please explain to me the warning messages further?
Thank you.

Hi Jack,
Please never try to change the decimal places in PRD system, you will be in deep deep trouble.
Let me give one example , If the current decimal is set to 2 digit and you are going to change it 3 digit, then USD 100.00 will become USD 10.000 for the already posted document.
Please not that, the decimal places are not sotred in the database, when you run a tcode to see any posted data the system queries the currency table and see the value for the decimals, if it finds 3 in OY04, it simply places the decial point afer 3 digit from right, if the decimal is set to 4m it will simple place the decimal point after 4 digit from right.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Best Regards
Hari K.

Decimal places on the result row is incorrect

Dear Expert,
I met a problem that decimal places on the result row is incorrect.Anyone can help me?
On key figure balance,we do the currencies translation,also we set the key figure should have two decimal places.
We set a fomular to calculate the total result of Account A,B,C.
(Total result = account Aaccount Baccount C).
If we manually sum up the balance of account A,B,C displayed on analyzer,which are rounded to 2 decimal places,the result should be 601.25(100.61200.38300.26),but the actual total result executed by query is 601.24.
In fact we need the result 601.25 instead of 201.24.
I take the example as following:
Account Balance
Account A 100.61
Account B 200.38
Account C 300.26
Total result 601.24
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
Maggie

your "problem" is, that BEx is not totalling the "displayed" values but the real values
try a summation on the following in Excel:
100,605
200,375
300,26
then format the cells to show 2 decimal places only
do you see the result changing?

Decimal places for unit of measure

Dear All ,
If i change the Decimal Places for rounding in Customizing for Unit of measure ( CUNI tcode) for KG as 6 from 3 whether it will calculate with the 6 decimal places like 0.004756 ( earlier with 3 decimal places it will calculate any multiplication with 0.004 now i want the same with 0.004756 Kg )
whether it will work ?
and where it will impact

Hi
No it will not work like that. And it depend on the transaction where you enter that. In case of Purchase order quntity field it will be always with 2 decimal places because field MENGE has 2 decimal places only. If your system is already live then it is not advisible to do such changes.

Change decimal place rounding for Meter (M)

Hi,
We would like to change the decimal place rounding in transaction CUNI for M from 2 decimal place rounding to 3 decimal place rounding.
May I know that is there any implications if I do like that? Can I change it back to 2 decimal place rounding later?
Kindly please advise. Thank you.

hi
You can change the decimal places from 2 to 3.
Even by keeping the decimal places 2 in CUNI, In any masterdata you can give up to 3 decimal places. System will give you warning message only and further calculations it will do based on 3 decimal places.
At any time you can change it from 3 to 2. The system will show you 2 decimal places for all master datas. But for the masterdata you entered 3 decimal places by neglecting the warning message will be shown in 3 decimal places only.

!!!! How to maintain the value with 2 decimal places !!!

hi
i have a double var and i need to maintain it with 2 decimal places only..
thanks..

What do you mean with you need to "maintain it" with 2 decimal places?
Do you want to display the number with 2 decimal places? If so, have a look at the API documentation of java.text.DecimalFormat.
double d = 3.14159265358979;
NumberFormat f = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
System.out.println(f.format(d));

I need to get 2 decimal places when using a formula for a quotient and Numbers will only give me whole integers which is useless since most items will be less than 1. How can I change this?

How do I get 2 decimal places when using a formula for a quotient? It only gives me whole integers. Most of the results will be less than 1 so I need 2 decimal places

the quotient function returns only whole number portion of the dividing two numbers. If you want the actual decimal value use the divide operator. you enter this as:
A/B
if the numerator is in A1 and the denominator is in B1 you can enter the formula like this:
=A1/B1

Getting an error in CIF Inbound queue:"Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC"

Hi,
I am getting an error in CIF Inbound queue (function: CIF_ORDER_INBOUND_30A). The error text says "Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC".
Can anyone point out the solution to resolve this error? It would be a big help for me as I am new to APO and so getting difficult to find a clue for it.
Thanks.
Regards
Mansi

Hi Mansi,
Please check the cif queue you will get the order number from that order number you can find out material code. Then check the material master unit of measure in MM03 you have used some alternative unit of measure and system is unable to convert order to alternative unit of measure because of decimal setting. If you go to CUNI and check the unit if measure PC it is not permitted for decimal places. If you need decimal than change the UoMof Material and use diff UoM or allow the decimal for PC which is not good practice.

Formatting Numeric Only with Variable Decimal Places

Acrobat Pro 9, Windows XP
I'm creating a form that has a number of text box form fields that are to be numeric only per the form requestor. However, for any given field of this type the number of decimal places that can be entered can vary from 0-3 and the requestor does NOT want any unnecessary decimals to appear in the final output (e.g., a "1.2" entry should not appear as "1.200"). The standard number formatting properties always show all the decimal places so I know it's not that route. No calculations will be performed with any of these entries -- the form requestor merely is entering data and then printing it out so that it's legible for the end-user.
I know that the following line of JavaScript in the Custom Keystroke property limits the entry to numeric only, but how should I tweak the syntax to allow a decimal entry:
event.rc = (!event.change || /^\d$/.test(event.change))
I probably also need a script to format for decimal places, but I don't know where to look in the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference or in the MDN JavaScript Reference.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Good question. To keep it simple (because there are about 300 form fields in this document), if they choose to add extra decimal zeros, then who am I to argue with their entry. So in your example for a given form field, if they enter "1.200" then I expect that they want "1.200" to display.
OK, but earlier you said:
"However, for any given field of this type the number of decimal places that can be entered can vary from 0-3 and the requestor does NOT want any unnecessary decimals to appear in the final output (e.g., a "1.2" entry should not appear as "1.200")."
This seems inconsistent. Can you clarify? The point is the code and where it's placed depends on this. It could be implemented either as a custom Validate or Format script, in addition to a Keystroke script.

Need only two decimal places, but BigDecimal isn't working

Hello again. This time I've got a problem with getting only two decimal places. I tried using BigDecimal but when I compile it, I get an error "cannot find symbol class BigDecimal" and a "cannot find symbol variable BigDecimal".
Grrr... I just want my value to have only 2 decimal places before it ends up in my text field.
Any help will be appreciated.

@ georgemc
Isn't it better to import whole packages instead so
you can have everything available when you call them?
I mean, it's kinda hard to import individual classes
everytime you need to call them.No. You can get conflicts when importing complete packages. If you importjava.awt.*;
java.util.*;and then declareList list;the compiler does not know which List you meant, java.util.List or java.awt.List.

LOL. When I was a kid still playing my Playstation I
wanted to have a career in computers when I got to
college. Now I'm 14 and a 3rd year high school
student and I just got a reality check -- computers
just isn't for me. And alot of those professionals
say Java is the "easiest" programming language. O_O
Meh. I'll just follow my other dream of becoming a
chef. Just seems like my parents won't like it...
Bleh... Two more years... Two more years...Sure, but if you like programming, work (hard) for it. Most people have to work hard in order to become good at something, no one is born as a programmer. This goes for becoming a chef as well.
