Changing decimal format

Dear experts,
I want to know how to change the decimal notations format..presently my system is showing comma after every 2 decimals but it should appear after every 3 decimals .
we are working for a Nigerian client.
For example : 1,00,000.00 should displayed as 100,000.00

Hi,
Apart from SU3, we can have country specific decimal pt notation. T-code OY01.
SPRO path: IMG > SAP netweaver > General setttings > Set countries > Define countries in mySAP systems.
Go to country code NE - Niger, which is your country I guess. At the end, you have an option to control this.

Key figure Date in Decimal format

Hi all,
   I have a key figure 0CPR_ACFR_K (Date) which is in Decimal format.
   Data in PSA for the particular field was like this '07102008'
   but after that it is changing to 7327.98 that is in decimal format.
   But i dont want this to happen ie. it should not get converted to Decimal or
   i want to convert the decimal value again to the equivalent date.
   pls help in this.

Hi jean liker,
It will get converted due to its properties. If you want to use this particular object as keyfigure, you can create a variable with processing type replacement path and use. Its better to maintain as char.

Convert a String to Decimal Format in European format

Hi Experts,
I am having a string as a context type for a input field, where the user can enter the Price, I need to convert the same into European format "###.###,00", I am using this below code to convert the string to decimal format
User will enter the input as 10 as it needs to be converted into 10,00. Also, 1000 which has to be converted as 1.000,00
String Str1 = wdContext.currentvn_temptable.getVa_TempUnitPrice();
Locale mylocale = Locale.GERMAN;
String pattern="###.###,00";
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(mylocale);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output = df.format(Str1);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Unit Price" + " " + pattern + " " + output);
When I execute the above code, i am getting an error called "Malformed Pattern ###.###,00"
Please let me know, how to convert a String to Quantity in European format
Thanks & Regards,
Palani

Hello!
Try to change your pattern to this one
Locale mylocale = Locale.GERMAN;
String pattern = "#,#00.00";
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(mylocale);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output = df.format(1111111.222);
Pattern has an influence on number of digits between separators, but you have to use ',' for grouping and '.' for decimal. Character values for separators correspond to your Locale object.
Thanks, Mikhail

Decimal format time value to convert into time (hr:min:sec)value in a graph

I need to develop a graph in WAD, in BW7. In the graph the value must be showed as HR:MIN:SEC, which I cannot get it right.
The keyfigure value carries the duration(hr:min:sec) in decimal format. In the query, I use this keyfigure for calculation. To get the time broadcasted for a week range. I get the total duration (say 507835.000). Now I need to convert this value back to hr:min:sec. I use the below formulas to get the hr, min, sec.
D = 507835
Val1 = D/3600
Val2 = Frac(val1)
Val3 = Val2 * 60
Val4 = frac(Val3) * 60
Hr = Val1 Val2
Min = Val3 frac(Val3)
Sec = Val4
In another formula in the query I add Hr + Min/100 + Sec/10000 to get hr.minsec format.
When I do an average on count of weeks, this doesnt round off correctly.
I tried to also use the Data function TIME() which when the time is > 24 hrs changes the value.
Lets say if it is 39:00:00, it shows value as 15:00:00 instead of keeping the value 39:00:00.
When I used this value in the graph it did not show the HR:MIN:SEC values in the value axis instead it showed 0.0, 0.1,.1.0. Bcoz of this the graph is blank.
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks alot

I checked SU01 and didn't see anything there to customize...
In my workstation, control panel / regional and languages settings / tab regional Options / customize; my time format is HH:mm:ss; the HH has to be in capital letter to display the time in 24 hour...
but this is strange anyway... are you reporting with web frontend or excel?

How to Change the Format of Object.................

Hi,
The client is asking us to change the format of the out of th object into another format.
With The existing format the result is DisplayFare: 4,673.23
and the formula used is :
WhilePrintingRecords;
global currencyvar DisplayFare;
global currencyvar array PaxFare;
global numbervar num;
if {fld.Fld1}= 'IPAX' then
DisplayFare := PaxFare[num];
DisplayFare;
But client want the same in different format DisplayFare:4 673,22.
For what changes i needs to do...................please do the needful.
Regards,
Maheedhar

Hi Maheedhar,
The only difference I see if that the required format does not have a thousands separator (Or does it have space as the separator?) and it uses a comma as the decimal separator.
You can right-click the field > Format Field > Customize > In here you should be able to change the Decimal separator, Thousands separator etc.

How to change Data Format

I'm using Sql Developer vers. 1.1.2. for Oracle 8.1.7 and I can't change Data Format. Even if first I run "alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';" and after I run "select data_field from table;" in the SQL Worksheet, it goes on reporting the field in format "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS". It seems to me as if the "alter session" doesn't work.
I've got a problem with decimal separator too. I mean when I run "select salary_field from table;" and the item is for example 2300,32 the report gets null column even if I've set Decimal Separator to "," from Tools>NSL Parameters>Decimal Separator.
I need help.
Thanks in advance
Marco

Marco,
It isn't really a great help, as you need to access 8.1.7, but the current version doesn't have this problem - it uses the current NLS_DATE_FORMAT setting to format the date, regardless of the NLS preferences.
I have vague memories (1.1.2 has largely faded from my memory) that when they first introduced the NLS preferences that they took precedence over the DB NLS settings (ie date formatted in SQL Developer based on NLS preferences).
On the decimal separator, I have other vague memories of problems if you didn't set both the Decimal and Group separator, although a quick search on the forum didn't highlight something that seemed the same as your problem. After logging on (ie with the NLS preferences as the DB NLS settings), what do you get if you the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS parameter in the NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS view? This should have two characters - the first one being the decimal separator and the second being the group separator.

Decimal format to 2 decimal places ????

Hello Everyone,
I have created a web dynpro application which to display a report depending on the data given by the BAPI. But there is some issue with the numeric data returned by the BAPI.
For ex - if the BAPI returns 5.00 the value is displayed in the report as 5.
I want uniform decimal values till 2 decimal places. For example 5 shd come as 5.00, 2.1 shd come as 2.10 etc.
I searched SDN abt this, and found many threads relating to this.
I tried using decimal format, creating a simple dictinary type, but using all this what happens is the value basically changes to a string format, this implies that the value is displayed in the table as "left-aligned".
Where- as we need the decimal numeric values to be right-aligned.
Any thoughts how to achieve this.
Please correct me if I have missed out on anything.
Thanks,
Samta

Hi,
From wat i understood.. u have a attribute coming from BAPI.. which you want to display with two decimal places,,
In this case.. assuming it is coming with 2 decimal places from the backend.. create a value node.. inside the node which contains the output data. set its carinality to 1..1 .. create a value attribute of type big decimal in it.. or probably string.. if there is an issue in displaying BigDecimal directly..
map this new attribute to the necessary column in the table..
BigDecimal value = new BigDecimal("the actual value in string or long").setScale(2);
assign this to the value attribute created..
(If alignment is the problem.. set the column 's textview property halign to right.. and layout as block or paragraph.. )

Lightroom Map - Changing Coordinate Formats

When adding GPS coordinates within the Map module the resultant coordinates are given in the format xx°xx'xx", x°xx'xx". When Alt-clicking on the arrow Google Map opens and there the coordinates are shown in the decimal format xx.xxxxxxxx, x.xxxxxxxx
In fact, this latter format is the one that I prefer and also have it set in both my Garmin GPS units. Most hotel information and other sources that I locate also give their location in this decimal format which appears to be the most popular (along with UTM) here in Europe.
Is there a way of changing the format used/displayed in Lightroom 4 (must admit that I can't see anything in Preferences) and if the answer is no, would Garmin consider adding a menu allowing users to choose coordinate formats appropriate for their own use?

Use of comma decimal format in % Breakdowns

Hello,
We have global users who would like to enter their decimal values for % Formulation and/or Ranges on the %Breakdowns in the comma decimal format (i.e. 9,99). This does not seem possible regardless of free text language. I just wanted to confirm that this was the case.
Thanks,
Drew

Dear Kai,
Thank you for your reply.
I read the note and found that if I change my browser language to EN,
everything works fine.
However, if I change back my browser language to Chinese,
the decimal seperator becomes comma.
In the note 1064448, it said it's related to country settings.
And the note gave a XML code to set the language to EN.
But...if I put this code to my WAD XHTML,
does that mean my chart's related settings, like axis label,
would also change to English format?
(Because when I change my browser language to EN, the chart's axis label and some other description also change to EN.)
Is there any way that I can set the log on language Chinese should use decimal seperator "." instead of ","?

Set currency 3 digit decimal format

Dear SAP Experts,
Currently we have multiple SAP clients running in multi countries in one platform and shared SAP cross-table
Now we have situation that one new country will have 3 digit decimal currency format OMR (150.876). At the moment if
change decimal currency setup in table V_CURX then we can face issue with other clients.
Case1 - I understand if no document posted currency in OMR is any of the client no issue I assume.
Case2 - If there is any document posted with currency OMR in any of the client which shared cross client table then we might
get serious implications.
Is there any way that we can handle case 2
Thanks & regards,
Prashant Rane

Hi
If i observe your post, you said that its a new country
Is it for new country for your client or for all clients

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,

Cannot print to PDF after change decimal symbol

When we used
Acrobat Pro 7.0, PDF printer worked fine with any setting of "Decimal
symbol" in regional setting. But, after we install Acrobat Pro 9.1, we cannot print t
o PDF any more, when we change decima symbol back to period,
it works but standard in my country is use comma "," for decimal symbol instead of per
iod "." error message is "standard.joboption..."
So, any one can give us the solution to print Word or Excel file to PDF without any error, why Acrobat 7 can work but not Acrobat 9.1 and above cannot.
Thanks in advance!
Hung

I downloaded a trial of Acrobat today, but apparently the Distiller part doesn't work at all. It's not really an option to change the decimal symbol, being Swedish. I'm using Win7x64, English language but Swedish keyboard, date format and of course comma as a decimal symbol.
Is the only solution using PDFcreator for printing PDFs? It seems very silly that Adobe can't get this right, it's beyond me why configuration parsing depends on the system locale!
This software is apparently not Win7-ready at all. Is there an updated version in the works?
