Automatic type conversion

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie at flex and I was trying to write a small
program which calls a .NET web service which returns the
information in a xml format and the XML is returned to the Flex
method. everything works fine but sometimes when the Data contains
something like 122345E104, Flex converts this data into a numerical
value automatically, because of the "E" it thinks it is an
Exponential symbol. How can I prevent this from happenning.
Eg if the data returned from the web service is as following
<securityMasterByCusipResponse xmlns="
http://abc.com/RSSXSD/">
<securityMasterByCusip>
<masterList>
<cusip>26144E101</cusip>
<price>0.068</price>
<symbol>DRGG</symbol>
<securityName>DRAGON INTL GROUP</securityName>
</masterList>
</securityMasterByCusip>
</securityMasterByCusipResponse>
I have a method like this to read the data which is called as
a callback to the aysnchronous web service call
public function result(data:Object):void
var contentObject:Object =
data.result.securityMasterByCusipResponse.securityMasterByCusip.masterList;
cusipText.Text = Object.cusip; // this returns
2.61440000000000e+105 instead of 26144E101
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Vikram

Hi vikramswami,
Try to use the single quotes around that field...you can try this work around...
Check the below xml...the tag in bold...I have used single quotes around the value...so that it will be treated as a string instead of a numeric...
<securityMasterByCusipResponse xmlns=" http://abc.com/RSSXSD/">
<securityMasterByCusip>
<masterList>
<cusip>'26144E101'</cusip>
<price>0.068</price>
<symbol>DRGG</symbol>
<securityName>DRAGON INTL GROUP</securityName>
</masterList>
</securityMasterByCusip>
</securityMasterByCusipResponse>
So you need to strip the quotes while displaying the value in the Flex label or Text ...since we have appended these quotes in xml...
var contentObject:Object = data.result.securityMasterByCusipResponse.securityMasterByCusip.master List;
model.cusip = Object.cusip; //This Model is used by the User
model.cusip = model.cusip.substring(1,model.cusip.length-2);
Note: model.cusip variable should be a String datatyped variable...
Hope this helps in resolving your problem.,..
If this post answers your question or helps, please kindly mark it as such.

What are Automatic type conversion rules ?

Please list out the rules that govern automatic type conversion.

Hi Albert,

JSP type conversion (JSP- PageBean) not working

          We are using page beans extensively, and I had expected that if you have a variable
          of type String passed in the URL (variable name is "id" for example, a unique record
          identifier), and within the page bean declaration you have a setId(int uId){...}
          that the JSP engine will automatically do the type conversion between the String
          and the int.
          I am using WLS6.0 on NT4.0SP5, and whenever I do this I get a
          java.lang.NoSuchMethodError error.
          When I change the method signature to setId(String uId){...} (and change the variable
          types etc. and do the String to int conversion myself), all works fine.
          Does WLS6.0 not support this automatic type conversion?
          Thanks in advance,
          Mils.


Try removing the transient property.
To avoid the duplicate problem, verify, before creating the component if the component is already on the tree.
transient - A flag indicating whether this instance has
decided to opt out of having its state
information saved and restored. The
default value for all standard component,
converter, and validator classes that
implement StateHolder must be false.
By other words -
� void setTransient(boolean newValue)
� boolean isTransient()
Set and get the transient property. When this property is set, the state is not
saved.

Automatic time conversion is not possible

Hi Friends,
I have a problem in Transformation Level when i am mapping "automatic time conversion is not possible for source field FISCPER to 0FISCYEAR,FISCPER3".can any one help me in this issue.
Thanks
Narasimha

Yes if it was date filed then it would have been possible.If you are trying to derive the fiscal year between datasource and cube then you can get it with the help of simple filed level routine.
Map your fiscper field from source to fiscal year--Rule type Routine.
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-(Technical name of source field)+0(4).
For Posting period
Map your fiscper field from source to fiscper3 year--Rule type Routine.
RESULT = SOURCE_FIELDS-(Technical name of source field)+4(3).
This will give you the required output.

How to suppress automatic keyfigure conversion in WD ALV?

Dear experts,
I am having a problem with automatic input conversion in WD ALV.
I have a key-figures (type P length 9, decimals 2)in my ALV which has reference field of type if_salv_wd_c_field_settings=>reffieldtype_curr.
I process the changes by event ON_DATA_CHANGE which passes this change object:
r_param->t_modified_cells
r_param->t_inserted_rows
r_param->t_deleted_rows
r_param->t_error_cells
The thing is that the changes in table r_param->t_modified_cells are already converted into internal format. When user enters "1", I get here in this table value "1.00". But this internal value is not always correct because corresponding reference field with currency key may not be known yet (it is calculated later on background from other fields).
Therefore, for example for currency JPY which has no decimal places external value "1" is converted into wrong internal value "1.00" (the correct internal value is "0.01").
Therefore, I need to suppress the conversion by the ALV and do it myself once the currency key is known.
How can I suppress the automatic input conversion which is done by ALV?
There is no such problem in SAP GUI ALV! There is event DATA_CHANGE with similar change object:
io_data_change->mt_good_cells
io_data_change->mt_mod_cells
io_data_change->mt_inserted_rows
io_data_change->mt_deleted_rows
But all the changes in table io_data_change->mt_mod_cells are in an external format (exactly the way user entered them on the screen)!
Any idea?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Tomas
Edited by: Tomas Havlik on Oct 5, 2010 10:24 AM

I have contacted the Web Dynpro ALV support directly to find out the answer.
There is no solution!
The WD ALV always convert the key figure into internal format. It is not possible to get the raw user input in WD as it is in SAP GUI.
Therefore, I use a workaround in my application - I remeber the number of decimal places of the old currency key and if the new currency key has different number of decimal places, then I shift the decimal point to the right or left correspondingly.

Formula node: type conversion

Hello guys
I have LV 5.0 and have to edit a script which has some kind of overflows. For testing I set all variables to the hightest usable range - extended or i32. Now I see, in all formula nodes, there are type conversions. How can I change the type of the inputs/outputs of the formula node?
Hardware_Tester
My first language is German, please ignore my faults...

Hi,
I forgot that you run Lv5.0. My example refers to Lv7.1.
As far as I know in Lv7.1 the input variable type changes automatically as you connect a control.
On the contrary the output is DBL by default but you can change it in the formula node introducing an explicit declaration of that variable (see "h" in the attached picture).
Here are some useful link:

Sorry, I understand that this cannot solve your problem but I don't remember how Lv5.0 works with formula node.

Problem of automatic widening conversion

Hello,
base one link below:
http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/java-ent/jnut/ch02_04.htm
Finally, the notation Y* means that the conversion is an automatic widening conversion, but that some of the least significant digits of the value may be lost by the conversion. This can happen when converting an int or long to a float or double. The floating-point types have a larger range than the integer types, so any int or long can be represented by a float or double. However, the floating-point types are approximations of numbers and cannot always hold as many significant digits as the integer types.
int = 32 bits
float = 32 bits
why from int to float, will have problem? can show example or diagram of bits of problems?
long = 64 bits
double = 64 bits
why from long to float, will have problem? can show example or diagram of bits of problems?
Thanks.

In a Java double (IEEE754 floating point)
one bit is used for the sign,
11 bits are used for the magnitude and
52 bits are used for the mantissa (the digits)
A Java double can store an int because an int only has 32 bits.
A Java double can store a long that uses only 52 bits.
When converting long values in the range [ 0x0010000000000000 ; 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ]
because 11 bits are used for the magnitude
there are not enough bits in the mantissa to represent every long value.
Exercise:
Write a Java application that converts randomly selected long values
in the range [ 0x0010000000000000L ; 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFL ] to double and
then back to long - compute the divergence (if any) - print (in hexadecimal)
the long value and the divergence.

Implicit and explicit Type conversion using Type object in heap

Hi,
I am surprised how Implicit and explicit Type conversion works using Type object in heap. for example when implicit type conversion occur what pointer it returns to object and similarly with explicit type conversion.

Hello,
>> I am surprised how Implicit and explicit Type conversion works using Type object in heap.
For Implicit conversions: Typical examples are conversions from smaller to larger integral types, and conversions from derived classes to base classes. For the first one, the reference would be different which means it would return a different pointer to
a new object. For the reference type, it actually points to the same memory location, you could use the object.ReferenceEquals() to check it.
For Explicit conversions (casts):Typical examples include numeric conversion to a type that has less precision or a smaller range, and conversion of a base-class instance to a derived class. For first one, it would perform the same with implicit conversions.
While for the conversion of conversion of a base-class instance to a derived class, actually, there's no built-in way to do this conversion.

Can I set a text field to automatically type in caps when I have converted a form to fillable in ADO

When people get to the field where they have to enter their postal code, I want it to automatically type in capital letters whether they do that or not.

Is there something like this that will allow me to type only the first letter of each word in a fillable field as a capital letter?
For example:

The priority of different data type conversion

Hi All,
I want to know the priority of data type conversion rule. if in an expression, I have several kind of data type( I, P, F,N..).
Then finaly, all the data object will convert to which data type?
I don't know the priority of data conversion.
E.g.   data a type i. data b type p. data c type f.
         a = b + c.
or    data d type p, data e type f.
      if ( d > f ).
Then who will convert to who's type?
Thanks and Regards.

For expressions, the right term in SAP is "calculation type", it's explained here : [abap help - determining the calculation type|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENARITH_TYPE.htm]. SAP takes the "biggest" type of all variables in the expression. It can be I, P or F (smallest is I, biggest is F).
Conditions are handled differently, just using data type conversion (see link given above by Abhishek), SAP converts from smallest to biggest type (in your case, it converts P to F and compares the two F variables).

Need Help with data type conversion

Hello People,
I am new to java, i need some help with data type conversion:
I have variable(string) storing IP Address
IPAddr="10.10.103.10"
I have to call a library function which passes IP Address and does something and returns me a value.
The problem I have is that external function call in this library excepts IP Address in form of a byte array.
Here is the syntax for the function I am calling through my program
int createDevice (byte[] ipAddress).
now my problem is I don't know how to convert the string IPAddr variable into a byte[] ipAddress to pass it through method.

Class InetAddress has a method
byte[] getAddress() You can create an instance using the static method getByName() providing the IP address string as argument.

Invalid data type conversions

what are the invalid data type conversions in ABAP ???
Moderator message: please search for available information/documentation.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Mar 10, 2012 6:01 PM

No Amanda,
The values that I see in message monitor are also those that comes to XSLT programs as input.
I investigated our problem a little further myself:
1) XI always converts messages into XML format - this everybody knows.
2) In XI documentation it is declared that XI uses ISO 8601 for DATE type formatting. That's why you see dates in format YYYY-MM-DD in XML data in message monitoring.
3) The appearance of those decimal values are not that obvious for me. If XI uses ABAP transformation for message content then applies the rules for converting ABAP data types into XML. For this there is a SAP document 'ABAP - XML mapping' from TechEd2004. This document seems to describe how ABAP data types are handled by XML transformation.
Anyway, we currently need to play with decimal values in XSLT mapping programs inside XI:
a) add leading 0 integer if source value < 1
RFC returns 0.123 -> XI converts to XML '.123' -> XSLT mapper should return '0.123' ->SOAP response returns '0.123'
b) add decimal point and trailing zeros
RFC returns 0.000 -> XI converts to XML '0' -> XSLT mapper should return '0.000' ->SOAP response return '0.000'
With dates, the problem is actually on documenting mapping rules when writing interface specifications. If you would write an EAI-solution-independent conversion rule (RFC/date->SOAP/char) for date field it could sound like: YYYYMMDD -> dd.mm.yyyy. This works semantically between these systems but would not work for XI-developer, because he get YYYY-MM-DD from the RFC.
Additionally the decimal type conversion requirements in XSLT mapping programs probably only applies XI and are therefore not reusable in other EAI environments.
I would be glad if somebody would still have further comments for this data type conversion issue.

Data type conversion JCO To ABAP( Double to DEC)

Hi,
I want to update a field having data type as DEC with length 11 in APO system using JCO.Whatever i give as input is not getting reflected in APO system. Instead i get some different value.
It seems that there is some data type conversion for that field..
