Change of notation

I have a simple table with 30 rows and 4 columns.
The columns represent Description, Unit Price, Quantity, Total Price.
It behaves fine, multiplying the Unit Price by Quantity to give Total Price.
There is a condition where if a cell in another table is set to a certain value then it doesn't display Unit Price or Total Price, just Description and Quantity.
Again this behaves as I'd expect.
However...
In the formula bar for each cell I notice that in the first 10 rows the cells are referred to as A1, B1, C1, D1 etc. which is the way i entered them but it then changes and the cells are referred to by the title and description values that i've entered
so....
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(C12),(Table8 :: A1="no prices"))," ",1.9)
becomes
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(qty Soap),(Table8 :: A1="no prices"))," ",1.9)
where 'qty' is the value in my heading for Column C and 'Soap' is the description entered in Column A for row 12
Like I say - the table appears to function fine, but I don't understand why it has changed the way it is represented and am concerned i've got a glitch waiting to trip me up at some point!
Can anyone explain what is going on here?

Do you know that reading carefully the available resources is useful ?
In Numbers User Guide delivered with every copy of iWork '08, in page 89 we may read :
*Adding Cell References to a Formula*
To insert a cell reference, you can click a cell, click a reference tab, or select a range of
cells when there’s an insertion point in the text field of the Formula Editor or the
Formula Bar. You can also insert a cell reference by typing it.
When you insert a cell reference by selecting cells or reference tabs, Numbers adds cell
references that use header cell names if “Use header cell names as references” is
selected in the General pane of Numbers preferences.
When you type a cell reference that includes the name of a header cell, table, or sheet,
Numbers displays a list of suggestions that match what you’ve started to type. You can
select from the list or continue typing.

Change Decimal Notation Format

Hi All
We have a requirement to output currency and quantity fields in a smartform to a different format than is specified in the users settings.
This can be different depending on the country key of the vendor.
Does anyone know of a way to dynamically change the decimal notation of a smartform.
Thank you
Darren

Hi,
Please check this function Module HRGPBS_HER_FORMAT_AMOUNT
or
You can use :
Write <CURRENCYFILED> to <new_field >USING CURRENCY 'USD'.
then you can use New-field in the smartform

Change decimal notation as per user's profile

Hi all,
The input file has a price in the following format:
1,000.50
Is there any function module that converts the price as per the user's profile format.
1,000.50 should be converted to 1.000,50 as per the user's profile setting of decimal notation.
Regards,
Chandan

hi check this.....
data: test1(10) type c ,
      test type p decimals 2 value '1000.50' .
write test to test1 .
       replace all occurrences of ',' in test1 with '#' .
       replace all occurrences of '.' in test1 with '*' .
        replace all occurrences of '#' in test1 with '.' .
         replace all occurrences of '*' in test1 with ',' .
       write:/ test1 .

How to change Decimal Notation based on User settings programmatically?

Hello All,
Like cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_ext_to_int and cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_int_to_ext which changes the date format ,is there any class/method which changes the number format......I mean decimal and thousand separator format. I have to do that based on the User settings which I am getting from USR01 table. But not getting any class/method where I have to submit the number along with the format to get the format as per user settings.
Thanks in Advance.
regards.
Sarbajit.

Hi Sarbajit,
No need for FM. Try like below using 'Write To' statement,
Declare a variable of type P.
Move ur number to that variable.
Then Write that variable to variable of type Char.
Now Char variable will contain value according to the User Decimal Settings.
PARAMETERS: num TYPE i DEFAULT 9999. " Enter ur number
DATA: qty TYPE p DECIMALS 3, " Variable of Packed type
            ch(13) TYPE c. " Character variable
qty = num.
WRITE qty TO ch.     " According to Decimal format in SU01, value is written
WRITE ch.
Thanks,

BestPractices Error - Set Decimal Notation and Date Format

Hello everyone,
first of all, I don't know, if this is the right forum for my question, but I hope so
We're trying to implement the Best Practices Scenarios to a new SAP ERP System.
We did the steps of the following url, where everything worked fine: http://help.sap.com/bp_dm603/DM_DE/html/index_DE.htm
Then we integrated Best Practices 603V8 via Solution Builder (TA: /n/SMB/BBI). But now, when we switch to Implementation Assistant and try to activate Scenario DE_109 --> 100(DE) --> Folder USERSETTINGS, we receive the following error in report /SMB99/SU3_O009_B32: Set Decimal Notation and Date Format.
So we called transaction SU3 and changed Decimal Notation and Date Format, but the error still exists.
Anybody knows what to do?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards
Patrick
PS: We executed Testscript /SMB99/SU3_C009_B32 via TA SECATT and there is the error:
TCD SU3 0,292 sec N Maintain Users Own Data

Question about changes in currentRow

Dear Community,
In Creator 2004Q4 data tables you can use the "currentRow" in value binding expressions as currentRow['column']. Now with Creator 2, one must use currentRow.value['column']. I would like to know what else has changed about this. Can any of you explain or point me to the appropiate tutorial/article about the currentRow concept?
Thank you in advance.
Antonio.

As far as I can recall, nothing besides the notation
has changed. Under the covers, currentRow is a
temporary request attribute used when iterating the
rows of a table. As such, it can be used in binding
expressions. We changed the notation when we
introduced data providers. The new notation ensures
when evaluating an expression that what you want is
the value for the current row and the specified field
key. (To get the value, the data provider's getValue
method will be called.)Thank you for your answer. I have a more specific question:
I'm using arrays of DTO (Data Transport Objects) with Tables. Everything wasf fine until I've had to deal with a DTO with a nested class, ie:
public class MyHelperDTO {
private String name;
public String getName() {
    return name;
public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
public class MyDTO {
private Long id;
public Long getId() {
    return id;
public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
private MyHelperDTO helpDTO;
public MyHelperDTO getHelpDTO() {
    return this.helpDTO;
public void setHelpDTO(MyHelperDTO helpDTO) {
     this.helpDTO = helpDTO;
}It is possible to access the properties of the inner DTO from a currentRow, ie. currentRow.value['helpDTO'].value['name']? I've actually solved in another way, but I'm still curious about it.
Thank you in advance.
Antonio.

Regional Settings Decimal Notation

Hi - Quick question here
I want to default a specific Decimal Notation for our field sales team and do not want them to have to go to the Personalize menu to change. How do I do this? I have reviewed the Admin Guide but could not find any details on how to do this.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
The decimal notation depends on the personalized settings of each user.
In the current release of the system these changes are user specific i.e. all your users will have to change it with their respective logins to be able to use the required decimal notation.
I’ve heard there is a plan to deliver a report which enables changing decimal notation for mass employees, but there is no commitment for this.
Best Regards,
Cristiano Rosa

How to change thousands separator in IP Web-template?

Hi all,
Situation: in IP web-templates (planning format or report) I see values of key figures in format like 12,345,678.99 . But I need replace comma thousands separator to space: 12 345 678.99. How to do it?
What has been done: in su01 I've tried to change 'Decimal notation' from '1,000.00' to '1 000.00', but this setting doesnt have any influence on appearance of key figures values in my IP web-templates.
Any comment and ideas are welcome.
Best regards,
Andrey.

I think you probably got to play around with the objects of javascript and uncheck the apply formatting option of the table i.e dataprovider item otherwise the settings will have no effect on the dataprovider.

How can I set a polygon's path by using the .add() function?

I have been searching the web and this forum and doing plenty of experimenting, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
I can set other attributes of a polygon inside the add() parentheses, such as the fillColor, but I can't set the polygon's path's pathPoints unless I use a separate line of code after the add(); line.
My script adds a great deal of polygons in a row, so halving the number of operations would greatly help me, and also it seems that some properties such as appliedObjectStyle cannot be set until after a polygon's path is defined. That means I need a third line of code after add() and entirePath=, which slows me down even more.
Help?

Ryan, I think you need to reset and take a moment to understand what it is that is going on here.
The things you've proposed that don't work shouldn't work, and it's all quite simple.
Generally speaking, a .add() function takes an additional parameter, a JavaScript Object, that list properties of the created object that can be set.
A JavaScript Object is a list of key/value pairs, just like an associative array in a language like perl, or a dictionary in a language like Python. It is expressed in curly braces as such:
{ key1: value1, key2: value2, key3: value3}
So, for any such general add function, these
foo = whatever.add();
foo.bar = baz;
are equivalent to this:
foo = whatever.add({bar: baz});
Are you with me? So, for instance, you had originally asked why you could not use pathPoints in polygons.add() and the answer is simpe. You cannot set polygon.pathPoints, because there is no .pathPoints property of a polygon.
So, when you want to try add properties inside properties, you must do as as objects within objects, and follow the strict hierarchy. Marc advises that this works:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {angle:120}}
and if indeed that is so, then the extension for setting multiple transparencySettings should be clear. It is not this, that you propose:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {angle:120}}
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {distance:1}}
Because to do so is to set the transparencySettings key twice in the same Object. And to do that is to replace the first with the second. The above (yours) is wholly equavelent to:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings: {dropShadowSettings: {distance:1}}
If you wish to set more than one attribute of dropShadowSettings, you must set transparencySettings to an object containing one and only one dropShadowSettings, and you must do it only once. So it is this:
app.activeWindow.activePage.polygons.add({
    fillColor:"FireRed",
    transparencySettings:
      {dropShadowSettings: {angle:120, distance: 1}}
I am not sure why you thought you should have the name of the key in the Object named properties. That is probably because in some cases you can use:
foo.properties = { a: 1, b: 2};
as a shorthand for
foo.a=1;
foo.b=2;
but you would [probably] never want to mix that with the object notation for setting multiple properties in the .add() function.
Does this help to clarify?
As for your last question:
Also, it doesn't let me use square brackets or parentheses inside the add() parentheses, so the original problem I posted (trying to set a polygon's path) is still a problem.
It's not about the use of brackets or parentheses, but what they mean and where they go. As you have not posted an example of setting the polygon's path the long way, it's hard to show you how to shorten it. Post what you have that works, and we will show you how to shorten it. (I suppose some with more patience than I are willing to go look up what we think it is you are trying to do, and then interpret it. But I would much rather you show me the code you have that works, and then your attempts to transform or shorten it and change its notation. This makes it much much easier to help you, and it should also make the help more effective, by contextualizing it. As an added benefit, when someone else reads your post and tries to learn from it, they will gain more.)
So again, please provide a clear example of the "long way" to do the thing you are attempting, and then your attempt at shortening it.

Problem in language settings for Conversion of "." [dot] to "," [comma]

Hi Experts,
                We have a requirement to change the default decimal notation from one user language to other user language. For instance the decimal notation for Dutch language is ","[comma] , we need to change this notation to "."[dot]. Whenever user put a comma it should be treated as dot. In R/3 ,In SU01 Transaction we are able to change the decimal notation etc.Is there any possibilities to achieve this in portal content development.

Hi Ramanan,
The problem is that the decimal seperator is defined by http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormatSymbols.html - which is used within the DecimalFormat class; and from the portal applications, this is created with the user's locale.
So there is - as far as I know - no way to change these standard mapping locale <-> format definition.
Hope it helps

Datatype missing in LDM diagram when reverse engineer from relational mode

I'm using OSDM v3.3.0.734.
I created relational model by importing DDL script.
Then I reverse engineered to create LDM.
However I don't see data types of attributes in LDM diagram.
If I Right click --> View Detail -->All details still it doesn't show me datatypes.
The only options I see when I click 'View Details' are All Details, Names only, Attributes.
It doesn't show me options PK/FK, datatypes etc..
Thanks.

Hi,
you need to change used notation - data types are not shown in Barker notation.

Issue during PR creation

The problem is the system automatically adds 0 (zero) digits behind the amount.
For example, amount entered is 55 TWD.
The system makes the amount 5,500 TWD - adding two zeros behind 55.
