Change currency format for my Locale

The default currency format for my locale (es-AR) formats negative currencies like this:
($1.232,23)
I'd like to change it to
$-1.232,23
Any ideas on where to start? Where is that format option stored? In windows the currency format is the latter, and I can change it, but Java uses its own... (right?)
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I found the javadoc that sais that.
If you need to customize the format object, do something like this:
NumberFormat f = NumberFormat.getInstance(loc);
if (f instanceof DecimalFormat) {
((DecimalFormat) f).setDecimalSeparatorAlwaysShown(true);
I think it would be nice to be able to customize a Locale information... to avoid the above code and have a more general solution.
Thanks anyway, if you think of anything else, let me know.
Bye.

Changing date format for some of the date columns in a subject area

Hi,
I have a requirement to change the date format for some of the date columns to dd-mon-yyy for only a particular subject area. Is there a feature available in the RPD which can help me do this?
In Answers - Column Properties for a Particular column of a report, we can save the style and formatting as system wide default for the particular column or the data type, but that applies across subject areas.
I tried with the config files too , but that too applies to all suject areas.
Thanks in Advance,
Gaurav

Why don't you create 2 logical column derived from same date physical col and then change the format for one logical column and use it in Subject Area ?

[Access 2010] Change default formats for data types

Whenever I import data, the default format for Boolean data types is "-1,0." I know how to subsequently change this format to "Yes/No," but I'd like to change the default
setting to "Yes/No." Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I found you post the same question in other place and got the advice. I agree with Mr. Kees suggestion. The data type is a build-in default setting with Access, we can't change it. We may try the workaround via VBA to test.

How to change currency format from US to Indian format?

How do you change the date/currency format for every user in OSX 10.6?

I imaged a bunch of mac labs at work only to realize the base image has the date/currency set for United States rather then United Kingdom. The regional settings are correct.
I tried changing it on the local admin account but it does not affect a new user that logs onto an AD account.
Workgroup manager does not seem to offer anything either unless I am missing it.
Any ideas?

Hi Uncle,
Page 116 of the Pages'09 User Guide: Control Click the date, Edit Date and Time.
Date and time can also be in a table. Format the table cell.
The User Guide is well worth a read. Download it from the Help menu in Pages.

Currency format for locale de_CH

Hello,
One of my customers has told me that
"Here in Switzerland, currency amounts with 0 cents are written with a long dash, 4.-- instead of 4.00."
It seems that Java doesn't know it. If I'm using the de_CH locale, I will always get 4.00. How can I achieve this with Java besides replacing .00 with .--? Could this be a bug?
Here's a small test. The result is
SFr. 1'234.00
but the right result should be
SFr. 1'234.--
private static void test() {
     Locale locale = new Locale("de", "CH");
     NumberFormat format = DecimalFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
     Currency currency = Currency.getInstance("CHF");
     format.setCurrency(currency);
     BigDecimal amount = new BigDecimal("1234.0");
     String value = format.format(amount.doubleValue());
     System.out.println(value);
}Thank you for your time,
Nicu

Thank you all for taking the time to answer.
I did a quick check on a large Swiss company page (the Swiss Post) and here's what they say:
"Withdraw cash at the post office counter free of charge up to CHF 4'000.- per withdrawal."
They use the same convention. A dash instead of zero. Here's the link: http://www.postfinance.ch/pf/content/en/seg/priv/pay/card/pcd.na_priv.html.
Here's another link that explains the same thing: http://elearning-uk.myswitzerland.com/index.php?SN=pv5qudaru57ilcsdvbftcm7cs1&ac=user_seminar_view&cid=60&pid=255.
Unfortunately, I don't know how I could specify such a format in Java. The only solution I came up with was to replace zeros with a dash if the locale is de_CH. But that's not quite elegant.

How to change date format for prentation variable

Hi experts
In my prompt the date format is MM/DD/YYYY . I have created one presentation variable for that but i want to use this in Formula as well in Title as: DD-MON-YY
So how can i achieve it..
Thanks in advance

Hi
i think this can't be done through any code like oracle uses to_char, to_date function.
Just follow this
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/12/19/oracle-bi-ee-101332-dates-dates-and-dates/
With this, wherever you have this column, you will be getting this format dates..
if you don't want in reports you can change it by mentioning the data format for that paricular column in report, but for the same column, if you want different format at different places (for prompts), you can't do that..

Hi,
In OIDF, define the Shop Paper specially designed for External Service Operations.
In Order, in Print option, go to Operation Selection, select the required operation & select the print layout which is designed for External Service, so that, you can get the print out according to additional fields requirements.

URI format for shared local files

Firefox uses this format to access shared files on a local network... file://///host/path eg file://///computername/sharename/MyDocs/filename.txt.
This format is different from the standard form file://host/path that is used on other browsers eg Windows, Chrome.
This means that Firefox does not give me access to shared files when I have coded the standard format URI into my local HTML documents. Why is Firefox different or non-standard.

hello seebee, apparently file://///host/path is the standard form for a unc path:
"That's five slashes - two for the protocol, one to indicate the root of the file system, then two more to indicate the start of the server name."

How to change date format for FM ?

Experts !
i am trying to use FM DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT. for this FM the input date formate is mmddyyyy
but my variable returns in yyyymmdd. bcoz of that my FM doesnt understand the input date.
how do i do this? i am very poor in abap skills so will not do too much of codeing to convert.
thanks

Thanks Gharu !
I do get the correct formate using your code. but the problem if i debug my code goes till the FM and then it kicks it out. i dont know why.
The data type what you have define in your code is not what i have in my code. is it bcoz of that.
In your code..l_date type sydatum
in my code ...l_date like sydatum <-----Do you think i sould make it type ?
Also, in your code ..
l_olddate(8) type c,
l_newdate(8) type c,
while in my code..
l_olddate LIKE sy-datum
l_newdate LIKE sy-datum
Do u think i should change data type ?
If yes , then it will be big change for me. can you make it according to my DATA TYPE ?
thanks..i am waiting....

Changing file format for images

To save on memory, my boss wants me to change my images from bitmaps to png files. Should I go imto the project folder and open each file and re-save it, then make sure the link has the right extension. Any thoughts on the best way to do this?

Hi all... Simple Simon here...
I'm wondering if we are suggesting using a 500 Megaton Nuclear Warhead to get rid of the fly on the wall.
Don't get me wrong here, Scripting is great and it's amazing with what it can do and I always appreciate seeing posts from Praful that address issues. I think that's wonderful. I really do.
But why isn't this as simple as using the Multi-file find and replace tool to locate .BMP inside the files and replace it with .PNG?
Am I missing something? I must be.
Cheers... Rick

Change File Format For Existing Library Files? How?

Lightroom v5.3: I'm a long time DNG file user for Pentax and Nikon cameras. I recently discovered that about 300 of my RAW Nikon files already imported into the Library are NEF files instead of DNG files as my other 5700 files are.
I know that I made an error somewhere along the way, but- Is there an easy solution to converting those existing NEF files to the DNG format?
I was thinking of renaming them, but..........somehow that seems too easy.
Thanks for any wisdom you can send my way.

Thank You, John. That menu command went right by me when I searching the best way how to do this task.
Appreciate your help.

Changing output format for iTunes conversions

WHen I convert my WMA files, iTunes converts them as quicktime files. When I play music through my laptop I prefer to us Windows Media Player though, not quicktime.
Does anyone know if I can change the output format in iTunes to change them from WMA to MP3 instead of quicktime?
thankyou

When you import a wma file into iTunes, it makes a copy of the file converting it to either MP3 or AAC according to how you have set your preferences in Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced>>Importing.
You want the drop down box labelled "Import Using".
The actual program used to play the file depends on how you have your file associations set. You can change this by right clicking on a file and selecting "Open with" >>Choose Program. You select the program you want to use (assuming it knows how to play the file) and also ensure the "Always use selected program..." check box is ticked.
The original wma file is left intact, so unless you delete it, it will be available to use in WMP. If you don't want to do that, and you want to use WMP as your player, you need to import into iTunes as MP3 rather than AAC.
