Cast ascii to decimal

hi
im having a slight issue converting ascii to decimal.
i have an ascii string which is basically an incrementing number.
when i look at it as a hex string (by setting hex code in an indicator) i get:
0001
0002
0003
and so on.
however, when i convert this ascii string to decimal i get really large numbers.
when i get 0002 the decimal number is 131072.
this is equivalent to 20000 hex.
so it appears that i have 4 trailing hex zeros in there. not sure where they come from or how to get rid of them.
any ideas anyone?

Next time also try to be more specific.
The words "cast" and "convert" mean very different things, so don't use them interchangeably. (detals)
Your input is NOT ASCII (a character encoding scheme) but just a plain string.
The word "decimal" is a formatting specification, not a numeric data type.
Your problem also shows why type cast is relatively dangerous unless you know exactly what you are doing. There is no error output, e.g. if the string is shorter than needed for the datatype. It would be safer to use "unflatten from string" becaue it would alert you about the data mismatch at run time.

ASCII to decimal to ASCII

Hi all,
i have a question. This is what is like to build.
i have a string value something like "abcd"
now i like to convert the caracters in this string to a decimal value cracter by caracter, do a calculation and bring it back to a ASCII value
like this:
a = 097
b = 098
c = 099
d = 100
then
097 - 4 = 093
098 - 4 = 094
099 - 4 = 095
100 - 4 = 096
then
093 = ]
094 = ^
095 = _
096 = `
so the output of the program is not:
abcd
but it should be :
]^_`
any thought how this should be done???
Regards Johan

You can read one-by-one character in your String, using the method char charAt (int position). For example, let's say your String is str. You can do like this:
String str = "abcd";
for (int cont = 0; cont < str.length (); cont += 1)
System.out.print ("" + (str.charAt (cont) - 4) );If you want to have the decimal value of the character, you need to do a cast. For example:
String str = "abcd";
int i;
i = (int) str.charAt (2);
System.out.println ("" + i);In this case, it will display the ASCII value of 'c' (the character number 2 of str) on your standard output stream.
Hope this helps.

Need help with converting date format to decimal in SSRS expression.

Hi all,
I have a decimal data type column with a record in the following format 20150219 --> yyyyMMdd. And I am trying to convert the return value from SSRS date/time parameter to a decimal value.
The TMDTOP column is the decimal data type with date records in yyyyMMdd format.
My return parameter is the following:
=IIf(IsNothing(Parameters!SystemDate.Value),Fields!TMDTSY.Value,CDec(Format(Parameters!SystemDate.Value,"yyyyMMdd")))
When I try to run the report I get the following error:
Failed to evaluate the FilterValue of the DataSet ‘DataSet1’. (rsFilterEvaluationError)
I appreciate if anyone can help me on solving this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Decimal value automatically converting into int

Hi,
I have a SQL column which is a string and its value is casted to have decimal value. For example 92.57
In C#, below is the code I have written to retreive the value.
command.Parameters.Add("@ProcessCompliance", SqlDbType.Decimal).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
ProcessComplaincecount = command.Parameters["@ProcessCompliance"].Value.ToString());
But value is getting converted as 93 as a int. I want it as 92.57

Trying to limit the fidelity (to 2 decimal places) of a calculated value?

Hi Everyone,
I have a column that shows the Profit / Loss % for items sold.
ISNULL(((T0.LineTotal - T0.StockValue) / NULLIF(T0.StockValue, 0)) * 100, 0
Because it is possible for StockValue to be a zero (0) amount in our system it was necessary to add the NULLIF function.
If a NULL value is detected then a value of 0 is ultimately returned. Due to the fact that there could still be a profit or a loss in this column I needed to add 'N/A', which I achieved by casting the calculation to a varchar and then applying a CASE statement, the full syntax is as follows -
CAST(ISNULL(((T0.LineTotal - T0.StockValue) / NULLIF(T0.StockValue, 0)) * 100, 0) AS varchar) = '0.00000000000000' THEN 'N/A'
ELSE CAST(ISNULL(((T0.LineTotal - T0.StockValue) / NULLIF(T0.StockValue, 0)) * 100, 0) AS varchar) END
AS 'Profit / Loss %'
My challenge is that the % for profit has an excessive level of fidelity, it currently goes to 14 decimal places (e.g.: 134.43223443223443)!
I would like to limit the fidelity to 2 decimal places (e.g: 134.43). I have attempted to do this by 'double casting', first casting to a decimal then to a varchar (to allow for the 'N/A') -
CAST(CAST(ISNULL(((T0.LineTotal - T0.StockValue) / NULLIF(T0.StockValue, 0)) * 100, 0) AS decimal) AS varchar)
In this case the fidelity is not sufficient, and I lose all decimal places. If I stipulate the nature of the decimal place, e.g.: decimal(4,2), then I get an "arithmetic overflow" error.
How can I make my results either 'N/A' or a numeric result (with 2 decimal places)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David

Exponential values that does not insert in a decimal column

Hi guys, I have a table FORUM with a column SOLDITEM varchar that contain numeric data in 99% of the case but sometime even values like 8.9312784E-7 ( bear in mind that the data comes from Oracle --> Csv file --> SQL).
now I'm trying to insert these data into a decimal column but of course it retrieves:
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
the select is
cast
([SoldItem]
as
decimal
(38,5))
Is there something I can do directly on the select or I need to update the table forum before? and in that case how can I recognized the value like 8.9312784E-7?
Thanks a lot

The problem is that I got more than '8.9312784E-7' like 1.3356586E4-3 etc.
I am trying
cast
case
when
ltrim(rtrim([SoldItem]))
in('.',
'+',
'+.')
then 0
when
ltrim(rtrim([SoldItem]))
like
'%[^-+.0-9]%'
then 0
else
isnumeric([SoldItem]))
as
decimal
(38,5))
but it looks that there is something wrong with the brackets..

How to remove trailing zeros from a decimal (type) value?

Hi Everyone,
I would like to 'drop' some trailing zeros from a decimal value, e.g.: 50.000000, and I am wondering how to go about this?
The value is definitely of decimal type, and in this instance I know that I want to eliminate exactly six (6) zeros.
Any help here will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David

Try the below:
This is sort of a display issue, you may do it at Application side, which would be efficient.
Declare @s Decimal(10,6)='50.0000000'
Select Cast(@s as decimal(10,0))

TRY CAST and setting the type according to destination column

Hi,
I am loading data from different sources. I have to do data quality checks for data I am loading into destination. For Decimal Values I have destination data types Decimal(28,2) and Decimal(28,6)
I would like to check the source data and covert the type according to destination column. How can I use the try cast in this scenario?
SELECT TRY_CAST(REPLACE('100,500.000',',','') AS DECIMAL(28,2))
this statement will convert every thing to two decimal places. but if destination column is decimal(28,6) i would like to convert it to 100500.657899
What is the best way of doing it?
MH

Hi MH,
According to your description, you need to CAST and setting the type according to destination column which data types is Decimal(28,2) and Decimal(28,6), right?
"this statement will convert every thing to two decimal places. but if destination column is decimal(28,6) i would like to convert it to 100500.657899" If in this case, then there are different data types on the same column which is not
supported in current version. So as per my understanding, there is no such a functionality to achieve your requirement. What we can do is convert to corresponding datatype (Decimal(28,2) or Decimal(28,6)), and then convert it to nvarchar datatype.
CREATE TABLE #TEMP(A NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #TEMP VALUES('1538.21'),('1635.326541'),('136.235')
SELECT
A,
CASE
WHEN (LEN(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-PATINDEX('%.%',A))))>2
THEN
CAST(A AS DECIMAL(28,6))
WHEN (LEN(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-PATINDEX('%.%',A))))<=2
THEN
CAST(A AS DECIMAL(28,2))
END AS B,
CASE
WHEN (LEN(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-PATINDEX('%.%',A))))>2
THEN
CAST(CAST(A AS DECIMAL(28,6)) AS VARCHAR(99))
WHEN (LEN(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-PATINDEX('%.%',A))))<=2
THEN
CAST(CAST(A AS DECIMAL(28,2)) AS VARCHAR(99) )
END AS B2
FROM #TEMP
DROP TABLE #TEMP

Rounding Differences between TSQL Cast and Data Conversion component

This is using SSIS 2012. We are using an Ole Db Connection manager using the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider.
I have an Access database (accdb). It has several columns that are coming into SSIS as real data types. One column has a value of 68.8335558900872.
In the past we used the Data Conversion to convert from real to numeric 18, 6. The result was 68.833555. Rather than rounding on the last decimal place, it is returning the floor at six decimal places.
We have converted the process to load the data into a real data type column and then use a view to cast the value to a Decimal 18,6 (CAST (Col1 as Decimal(18,6))). We then load the data into a decimal 18,6 column. The result is 68.833556, which
is the rounded version of the real value.
Personally I prefer the rounded version rather than the truncated version.
I am trying to explain to explain to the QA people why the revised process is producing different results and thus I want to know if these are known behaviors for TSQL Cast and the Data Conversion component.
Russel Loski, MCT, MCSE Data Platform/Business Intelligence. Twitter: @sqlmovers; blog: www.sqlmovers.com

I think such a post is more suitable for an MS Connect bugs section as I see it a defect. And it seems no floor, but simply cutting off. Try in .Net when you convert, does it work the same? Data Conversion is a wrapper around the .net

Export SQL View to Flat File with UTF-8 Encoding

I've setup a package in SSIS to export a SQL view to a flat file and it's working fine. I now need to make that flat file UTF-8 encoded. The package executes but still shows the files as ANSI encoded.
My package consists of a Source (SQL View) -> Derived Column (casts the fields to DT_WSTR) -> Destination Flat File (Set to output UTF-8 file).
I don't get any errors to help me troubleshoot further. I'm running SQL Server 2005 SP2.

Unless there is a Byte-Order-Marker (BOM - hex file prefix: EF BB BF) at the beginning of the file, and unless your data contains non-ASCII characters, I'm unsure there is a technical difference in the files, Paul.
That is, even if the file is "encoded" UTF-8, if your data is only ASCII values (decimal values 0-127, hex 00-7F), UTF-8 doesn't really serve a purpose over ANSI encoding. Now if you're looking for UTF-8 with specifically the BOM included, and your data is all standard ASCII, the Flat File Connection Manager can't do that, it seems.
What the flat file connection manager is doing correctly though, is encoding values that are over decimal 127/hex 7F in UTF-8 when the encoding of the connection manager is set to 65001 (UTF-8).
Example:
Input data built with a script component as a source (code at the bottom of this post) and with only one WSTR output column hooked to a flat file destination component:
a string containing only decimal value 225 (german Eszett character - ß)
Encoding set to ANSI 1252 looks like:
E1 0D 0A (which is the ANSI encoding of the decimal character value 225 (E1) and a CR-LF (0D 0A)
Encoding set to UTF-8 65001 looks like:
C3 A1 0D 0A (which is the UTF-8 encoding of the decimal character value 225 (C3 A1) and a CR-LF (0D 0A)
Note that for values over decimal 127, UTF-8 takes at least two bytes and up to four for the remaining values available.
So, I'm comfortable now, after sitting down and going through this, that the flat file connection manager is working correctly, unless you need a BOM.

Labview 7i problems

the conversion from ascii to decimal is done with labview 2011. But using labview 7i the conversion is not happening. I had done the same mechanism like the numeral in U8 form to indicator. ANd other part is attached to string . Type is given as 0. But the wiring has not happened between the type cast and the numeral. It says they belongs to different forms. SO how can i ovrecome this problem. please help me.

Why are you constantly starting new discussions about the same old thing????

how can I write a simple CTE construct to display the data in table B - How can i calculate the values of weights as 8.3 respectively - calculate these without changing the structure of the tables.
Can I do this in a CTE

SQL Server 2008 R2 - Report Builder 3.0 - timeout using shared data source and stored procedure

I select the shared datasource from the data source propeties dialog, test the connection and everything is good.
I add a dataset by selecting "use a dataset embedded in my report" option within the Dataset properties dialog.
I select the newly added data source, click the "Stored procedure" query type and drop down the list box and select my intended stored procedure.
the timeout for the dataset is "0" seconds.
I click the "OK" button and I'm presented with the parameters to the stored procedure.
I enter valid data for the parameters and click the "OK" button.
I then get the following error message after 30 seconds:
The problem is, all of the timeouts, that I'm aware of, have values of zero (no timeout) or high enough values that 30 seconds isn't even close to the timeout.
I think the smallest timeout we have is 120 seconds.
I have searched this site and many others and the solutions all involve altering the stored procedure to get the fields into report builder and then revert the stored procedure back to its original form.
To me, this is NOT a solution.
I have too many stored procedures that need to be brought into Report Builder.
I need a real solution.
Thank you for you time, Tim Caldwell.

I don't mean to be rude, but really, check to see if the stored procedure can return data rows???
Maybe I'm not being clear enough.
The stored procedure runs perfectly fine.
it runs perfectly fine in the production environment and the test environment.
I can access the stored procedure in several ways and have it return correct data.
I can even trick report builder into creating a dataset with parameters and run the stored procedure that way.
What I cannot do, is to get report builder to not timeout after 30 seconds on the initial creation of a dataset with a Query type of stored procedure.
I have seen this issues posted again and again and again on may different sites and the "solution" is to simplifiy the stored procedure by creating a stored procedure that has a create table and a select in the stored procedure and that's it. After
report builder creates the dataset the developer then has to replace the simplified stored procedure with the actual stored procedure and everything works fine after that.
HOWEVER, having to go through this process for 70 or more stored procedures is ridiculous.
It would appear that there is something within report builder itself that is causing this issue.
The SQL Script included is an example of a stored procedure that will not create fields create a dataset with fields and parameters in Report Builder 3.0:

Expressions with different data types

hello
I have an animated clock and a line on a chart that I want to animate together--hopefully all tied with expressions, to make easing across them very *easy*
I've got the big hand and little hand of the clock linked up (pick-wipped rotation and multiplied * 12) but I'm wondering if I can do something similar for the line on the chart (in this case I'm animating the line with stroke>generate, but I'm open to suggestions)
thanks!
LML

The type is decimal, the precision 16 and scale is 12.
select SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(CAST(10 AS decimal(5,1)) / CAST(140 AS int),'BaseType') as Type
,SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(CAST(10 AS decimal(5,1)) / CAST(140 AS int),'Precision') as Precision
,SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(CAST(10 AS decimal(5,1)) / CAST(140 AS int),'Scale') as Scale
The calculation for determining the scale of the result can be found here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-AU/library/ms190476.aspx
Basically it is max(6, s1 + p2 + 1) where s1 is the scale of the numerator and p2 is the precision of the denominator.
In your case max(6,1+10+1) = 12
That said - it isn't something I ever worry about - you should always be casting your values to what is required to ensure a reliable result.
HTH.
Cheers
