Character Field as Number, Need commas?

I move a quantity to a character field for a form display output. I left justify the character by shift character field left deleting leading spaces. This way it formats perfectly in the column on my report/form.
Is there any easy syntaxfunction module, etc., that will take char field 1000.0 and put inn a comma 1,000.0?
I don't want the value to shift back to the right (right-justify).
Thank-You

Hi,
Ok..Please check this..
* Input character.
DATA: v_input   TYPE char20 VALUE '1000.0',
      v_output TYPE char20,
      v_num     TYPE p DECIMALS 1.
* Move it to numeric variable.
v_num = v_input.
* Use the write statement to add the thousands separator.
WRITE v_num TO v_output.
* Make sure in the user settings the decimal notation is 1,234,567.89
* otherwise use this code.
SET COUNTRY 'US'.
WRITE v_num TO v_output.
SET COUNTRY space.
* Remove the leading spaze.
SHIFT v_output LEFT DELETING LEADING space.
* Display
WRITE:/ v_output.

Appreciate all your help!!

Thank You Svee. I have already tried override and treat number as number but that still showed the commas.

7 character field to purchase order ,customer number

please help
1)
data : kunnr1(7) type c.
data : kunnr like kna1-kunnr.
kunnr1 has only field length 7 and it is of type character.
kunnr is a sap field.
everytime i need to fill the data from the field kunnr1 to sap kunnr and pass to bdc .
suppose kunnr1 = 1930903 ie 7 characters .
and in sap shall i simply copy like this
kunnr = kunnr1. " will this work
or
concatnate '000' kunnr1 to kunnr.
or
any other one .
2)same with the purchase order number.
data : po(7) type c.
dat : bstdk type vbak-bstdk.
po = asdefgr
bsdtk = po
or
concatenate '' po to bsdtk.
if i assign value from po to bsdtk will at end command will work on bstdk?
example
loop at itab into workarea.
at last bsdtk." i need this to work so tell me how to assign the value from po to bsdtk
endloop.

i checked the customer number in sap system,
in the sales order it is stored as 1277494
i checked in vbak table and it is stored as 1277494and rest blank spaces.
i checked in kna1 table , the same kunnr is stored as 0001277494.
why is this difference?
so i need to use the 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT' for kunnr?
I checked for po but that is stored as a charater format and no need to add the leading zeros, is that right?
I used CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT for material do i need to use CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for material also?
thank you for the solutions given.

How to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field

HI All
i need to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field. How can i do that ?
thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
You can try the following things:
1. Use a datatype STRING and check it will work.
2. In se11 transaction goto datatype and search for char* in data elements.
You will find predefined data types ,you can make use of it.
For eg. char2000,char3000,char4000 etc.
Hope this will help.

Sql injection character fields

Is it true that with MSSQL in the background, character fields can't be used for sql injection?
A)   One source says that in MSSQL single quotes are escaped into double quotes.
B)   Another source says that " SQL injection (within ColdFusion apps) is really only an issue with non textual fields. If a text value is tampered with you'll end up with tampered text, but that text will all be part of the core string (within quotes) passed as a value, and will therefore not be executed as separate statements. Numbers, on the other hand, are not enclosed within quotes, and so extraneous text can be tampered "
Questions about A):   How does escaping 's with "s help, by making string literals in MSSQL not valid?
                                How could A) above be true when names like O'Mally are being stored with a single quote ?
Questions about B)    Does it mean code like DELETE * FROM atable would just be stored as a string and not execute ?
                                If so, is that accurate ?

To actually answer your question's.
A) A single quote in SQL is a comment. To store a single quote as DATA one has to escape it by doubling it. So to store O'Mally it would be passed as o''Mally.
The simple SQL injection attack is to end a number value with a random value, that is followed with a ; to end the SQL statment and then another statement can be run, this is then followed by a single quote to comment out any other SQL in the original statement. ColdFusion automatically escapes single quotes in text fields in most situations, so this is harder to do with text fields, but not impossible.

PDF form field calculation help needed

I need to make some simple calculations on a pdf form and need some help.
I have a form field for number of guests.
A field for a set cost for various tickets (there are 3 levels of ticket prices) (I might not need this field).
A subtotal of the guests attending and ticket price.
A grand total of the subtotals.
I can't figure out how to either put in a fixed cost in a form field or input a calculation so that the number of tickets is muliplied by a fixed number and gives me a subtotal.
Thanks.

Ok. I finally got the calculations to work. But..... when I save and open in Reader, they don't work. Go back to Pro, they don't work there now either. They also don't show up under the Set Field Order Calculations. To reset them, i have to erase the calculations, save, redo the calculations. Preview the form and everything works — calculations happen and i get a total.
Adobe Reader usage rights are enabled.
Why is this so hard?
I found this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/1152890#1152890 about it. Is this bug still going on since 2009?
Ok. Apparently you have to enable reader rights after the form is done. It seems to work now. What a pain.

Field Tax Number 1 in VA01

Hi I am using the BAPI sd_salesdocument_create to create sales orders and need to pass the field Tax Number 1 (STCD1) for the case of a customer CPD. I'm using the table EXTENSIONIN as follows but not recorded the field.
EXTENSIONIN-STRUCTURE = 'VBPA3KOM'
EXTENSIONIN-VALUEPART1 = '          00000010406707933'
Thanks.

hi dvalesp,
Have you tried placing a breakpoint in SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE at SE37?
perform ms_move_extensionin tables extensionin
                                     sales_items_in
                                     sales_schedules_in
                              using
                                     sales_header_in.
This is in line 222-226 of the source code of the BAPI.
Then check subroutine ms_move_extensionin of include program LVBAKF0C.
* BAPI enhancement <b>for</b> CPD Customer Information <b>for</b> table VBPA3
      WHEN 'VBPA3KOM'.
        CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS conversion_errors = 1.
          MOVE extensionin+lv_length TO wa_vbpa3kom.
          APPEND wa_vbpa3kom TO ex_vbpa3kom.
        ENDCATCH.
    ENDCASE.
ENDLOOP.
try to check what is being transferred in the code "MOVE extensionin+lv_length TO wa_vbpa3kom." You may try to change the value of wa_vbpa3kom during debugging and continue the program to check if it works. If it works, that means all you have to change is the values inside extensionin.

Quantity field moved to character field

Hi,
when I move a quantity field with decimals to a character field, and place that character field on my sapscript form, the comma that was in the quantity has now become a point. (0,128 has become 0.128)
Is there a way to avoid that and keep the comma?
thx.

Hi There,
when you debug if you see '.' in character field. then do this way.
if lv_char ca '.'
replace ...<press f1>
hope this helps.

Padding character fields with zeros

Hello,
I need to add zeros to the end of character fields TYPE C. I know i can use the conversion routines but that only works for numeric fields.
Thanks

Thanks for all the replies.
STRLEN will give me the lenght of the field but i need the offset of the last chararcter.
Your post gave me an idea though. I'm doing the following and it's working.
value = 'Thank You          '.
tmp    = '00000000000000'.
FIND REGEX `\w[ [:space:] ][ [:space:] ]` IN value MATCH OFFSET moff.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
   OVERLAY value+moff WITH tmp.
ENDIF.
The find looks for the last alphanumeric char and 2 spaces after it meaning the last alphanumeric char in the string.
Thanks to all, i will reward as fairly as possible.

How to sort a character field with numbers and letters on the end

I have an internal table with character field which has data like this after I sort it. This is not what I expect from the sort.:
13A
15A
29A
30A
31A
33A
123A
125
62
76
94A
I expect this, which is sorted number first, then alpha. Any ideas how to get this sort?:
13A
15A
29A
30A
31A
33A
62
76
94A
123A
125

Thanks for the suggestions. After reading the suggestions and reviewing some other post threads, here's what I did to get the sort to work:
Add a dash - to the end of any record that did not have an alphabet character at the end. This way, all records have at least one non-numeric character at the end. Then I overlayed zeros '0000000' over each record. Then I sorted the table. Afterwards, I removed the dashes and zeros.
The long way around, but it worked for me. Since the internal table is processed in memory, it doesn't add much overhead to the run time.

Display a number with commas

Here's a way to display a number with commas. See attached
code.
I had searched here for help on how to do it, and couldn't
find anything. So, then I wrote this. I'm a hack, self-taught
coder, so there may be a more eloquent way, but this does
work.

Nice, I'm always happy to be humbled.
One more point. If you're going ot use a return statement I
like to keep it
at the very end of the function. So, in a conditional
statement, setting a
local variable to the value to be returned allows you to
return that local
variable and always keep the return statement as the last
line. It just
saves a little searching around for returns in longer
functions. Just a
style choice not necessarily better.
