Check number sequence - previous record variable

Post Author: rmhogan
CA Forum: Formula
I am trying to highlight a record that is out of number sequence with the previous record. I am guessing that I need to create 2 variables (one for the current number and one for the previous number). I cannot seem to get this to work.
Any help would be appriciated.
Example ....
Check Number
016000123
016000124
016000126 <--- out of sequence (I want to highlight this detail line)
016000127

Thanks so much. However, I am getting a error saying ... "The formula result must be a number". The fields are strings in the database, however I have converted the to numbers in a formula [tonumber() function].
Any ideas.

Validating record by checking all the previous records

hi all
i have a tabular form where i have values like
from_acc to_acc
100 200
200 300
400 450
now when i enter a new record everytime i want to check the values from the firs record
i want to make i a record level validation
i want to know in which trigger can i write the code because in when validate record go_record is not allowed
can any one help me how to go about it
hi i want to make sure that the new record that user enters does not overlap any of the values of the from_acc and to_acc hence i need to navigate from the first record to the second last record .
thanks

U can use this type of code in when-validate-item trigger.
(Here I am validating country name of countries table)
declare
     vc_country varchar2(1);
begin
     select 'x'
     into vc_country
     from countries
     where upper(country_name) = upper(:countries.country_name);
     message('Duplicate');
     raise form_trigger_failure;
exception
     when no_data_found then
      null;
end;
Also when-new-record-instance-trigger has(countries datablock level) the code
post;
But I prefer to go for when-validate-item trigger combined with Kevin's method..

EBS check number with leading zeros

When we upload EBS, we are getting the check number in the record 16 (reference field). But unlike the check number posted in SAP, the check number in the BAI file has 2 leading zeros. Now since check number is coming in record 16, instead of record 88 we are not able to solve this problem through String configuration.
So, we thought of following solutions(Options):
1. Modify the check lot numbers to have two leading zeros plus associated changes like the form and so on.
2. Modify the check number in the incoming file u2013 strip the check number with two leading zeros with the use of customer enhancement. (After upload and before posting)
Can we solve the problem of leading zeros (before the check number) through any configuration steps instead of changing the SAP script form for check(Check lot) or going for customer enhancement.
Thanks
Ron

You are correct, since the check numbers are coming through only in the 16 records and not in the 88 records, you cannot use a search string to resolve the issue with leading zeros. Also, I do not know of any other configuration that can be used to reformat the reference values in the 16 records.
The 2 solutions you have listed are both valid options. Although with the first option (changing the check lots), you would need to make sure the business users approved of changing the check lots before going forward with that option. And you would still have to manually clear checks that had been issued prior to the check lot change.
At my company, we went with the second option - using ABAP code to update the check numbers from the file to match those in SAP (we actually had to add leading zeros to the check numbers). In our case, we had already created a pre-processor program for other re-formatting of the file that was needed prior to loading it into SAP - so we added the check number logic to that.
However, if you do not have a pre-processor program, I know there is a user exit available for EBS - exit EXIT_RFEBBU10_001, include ZXF01U01. I have heard of others using this exit to update the check numbers from 16 records. The exit is called during the FF.5 processing.

System Extract - Incrementing a sequence number in detail record layout

I have a system extract for a bank that requires a file header, batch header, detail, batch trailer and file trailer record. The detail record is at the run result level as I am looking to choose all records for a particular deduction (savings bonds) and I also have to put employee ssn and full name. This is working fine. I also have to put a sequence number, ie. detail record layout is record type, length 2, string, record sequence number, 5, ?????, employee SSN, length 9, field, employee full name, length 9, field. I need to increment the record sequence number by one for each detail record in the file. Ie. detail record 1 has record sequence number of 00001, detail record 2 has record sequence number of 00002.
What type of data element would I set up? For this particular field, I don't need to go against a database field, I only need to keep track of the previous record's sequence number so that I can keep incrementing by 1 until all detail records have been written. The batch trailer has a record count of the number of detail lines and that works fine because I've set that up as a type 'total' with a 'count' of the detail records. I also have in the batch trailer a sum of the pay values from each of the detail records and that works fine as subtrailers allow total data elements where detail records do not.

You can use any of the below mentioned 2 options in the ctl (Control) file:
1. SEQUENCE(1,1)
2. "xxcust_autoinv_seq.nextval"
where xxcust_autoinv_seq is a database sequence.

Checking a number sequence with regular expressions

Hello,
Suppose I have a text in the pattern:
A1=ha,A2=bla,A3=cha,...
I don't know how many sections of "A#=$" (# denotes number, $ denotes text) will be in the text, but I want to verify that the numbers of the A's form the natural ascending number sequence (i.e 1,2,3,...). I prefer to use regular expressions to do this, but if there's another way, I will be glad to hear it too.
Therefore my question is: How can I use regular expressions to check for a sequence of numbers? I know I can search for groups I've caught previously in the expression, but how can I compute the next number in the sequence from the group and search for the result?
Thank you very much!

What I'd do--and I'm not saying this is optimal, just what pops immediately to mind--is have a regex that matches "A(\\d+)=" (assuming the ha, bla, cha can never be "A1" etc.--if they can, you can still do it, but it's more complicated), then you iterate with the Matcher, and each time, you get the Integer.valueOf what you matched. You keep track of the last value, and compare the current to the last. If current is < last (or <= last, depending on your requirements), fail.
Something like this. I don't recall Matcher's methods off the top of my head, so you'll have to fix the details.
Matcher m = Pattern.matcher("A(\\d+)=");
int maxSoFar = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
while (m.matches(input)) {
 int current = Integer.parseInt(m.getMatchedField("$1"));
 if (current <= maxSoFar) {
 // fail
 else {
 maxSoFar = current;
} maxSoFar =

If this is in regards to an ASN: Check to see if this customer buys several divisions or is relevant for one division only. In our instance of SAP, we found that it didn’t go to the Customer Master division setup relevant to the division on the ASN to get the ACCT AT CUST field, it went to the first in the sequence of divisions and got that ACCT AT CUST field information. That information was not filled out as it was a new division and that is what kept the output from happening. For example: we had divison 02, 04, 06 and 08. We added division 03 and extended all customers to division 03. Those customers that only bought division 04 just stopped sending ASNS. The ASN was for division 04, but SAP logic was retrieving the ACCT AT CUST information (SALES tab, not CORRESPONDENCE tab) for divison 03, but we didn’t have that filled out.
Hope that helps.

Design of gap-free invoice number or check number

Hi, i have this "old question" that i can't seems to find the answer that satisfy the following requirment
- An audit requirement to have a gap free in the invoice number/check number
- this is a high concurrent oltp in generating invoices/checks
- the design should be able to scale well without serialization issue
- the design should be working well in RAC environment.
Since sequence will not guarantee gap-free, or nocache suffer will have issue in RAC, thus i wondering what design approach i should use.
A note i saw was saying using a seq for the primary key and subsequent using a batch process to generate a gap-free number.

If you absolutely have to have something like, then it's going to have a serialising effect - although you can take steps to do damage limitations. I discussed one strategy in Practical Oracle 8i many years ago, which pointed out that basically you have to do your audit by looking at numbers which have been used, but also have a permanent record of numbers that have not been used.
There are several ways to do this, but here's an outline of one:
Populate a table with "the next 1000 available values".
A process that needs an Id updates and commits on the lowest available number.
Once a number has been marked as allocated, the process creates an invoice, which includes a step either to mark the id as used, or to delete it. (I prefer the latter, as this means on commit the value disappears from the source table and reappears as a value in the invoice table).
You end up with three possible states for an id:
Available
Allocated but not used
Used
The audit has to check that the union of all three lists contains no gaps.

Get the first item value of previous record in a multi record block

Hai,
I have a multi record block with four items.I should get the first item value of the previous record so that I can increment its value in the current record.
Thanks.........

If you want a distinct value in each row or to be able to retrieve the records in the same order they were written then you should use a sequence.
If you want to retrieve the records in the same order they were created in the block then you will need a diffferent solution to the one you outline here since a user could enter a new record between two others.
I posted this a while back in response to someone who was using a sort_key item and resetting it for each row when a new record was inserted:
If you make the sort_key bigger then you have much more room to insert new rows in between existing rows without having to reset all the sort_keys.
Eg. you have rows with sort_keys of 129282000000000000 and 129283000000000000 (you can have more zeros if you want) and you want to insert a row in between. if you're using oracle forms then the user would have to click on the first of these rows and then do 'insert'. in your insert process you would store the sort keys of the current record and the one below, create a blank record in between and set the sort_key of that record to the average of the other two. you will be able to insert many new rows in between the original 2 before running out of space in the sort_key field.
the method above is not sufficient, there are some other cases to consider:
1) when the user is on the last record of the block then you will just create a new record with sort_key set to a greater number than the row before. you can have the sort_key defined as number(38) and to safely allow you to enter 1000 rows each new row would normally be 10E33 greater than the previous one.
2) when the user is entering the first record then just set the sort_key to 10E33.
3) on the off-chance that you do insert a great number of records and cannot insert another in between then you would need to alert the user, process the records so that the sort_keys are evenly spaced and requery the block. this processing could be scheduled nightly to make this eventuality even less likely.
4) make sure the user cannot run the default 'clear_record' procedure. this would break my method as well as yours!

Previous record value

I am processing a file in which I need to check the value of a column in the previous record and do some processing; Is this possible in OWB - to capture the value of the column of the previous record into some variable and do a check on it?
Thanks!

That's not possible without PL/SQL. You can of course use a procedure etc. for that purpose.

How to restrict number of Data Records from Source system?

Hi,
How can I restrict the number of Data records from R3 source system that are being loaded into BI. For example I have 1000 source data records, but only wish to transfer the first 100. How can I achieve this? Is there some option in the DataSource definition or InfoPackage definition?
Pls help,
SD

Hi SD,
You can surely restrict the number of records, best and simplest way is, check which characteristics are present in selection screen of InfoPackage and check in R3, which characteristics if given a secection could fetch you the desired number of records. Use it as selection in InfoPackage.

Using Garageband and I cannot hear previously recorded tracks on headphones. Prefs are set to output on EMU0404 my audio device - this did work but now is not working.

I am using Garageband and I cannot hear the previously recorded tracks on my headphones. I am using an audio input/output device, EMU0404 - this was previously working fine but stopped. All cables check out OK and so does the unit - I have updated to the latest version of Garageband but this did not help. Any suggestion?

Hi Christoph,
I cannot see anything wrong with the EMU0404. This is what puzzels me ... Garageband looks OK - headphones are OK - EMU looks OK.
Thanks anyway

Invoice and Invoice amount in FI/CO When enter check number

Hi All,
I have a requirement like this. We have custom t-code ZF04 ( FAST CASH ) to post payments to customer accounts. In this t-code, we have one field for Check#. When they enter Check# number and click on 'SEARCH' icon i need to display list of invoices and amounts with in a check.
I have no idea about tables,. Where to look? What tables do i need to look when enter check number, which returns invoice details.
Please let me know ASAP....
I appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Suneetha

Hi,
One question - Are you getting customer payment trrough LOCKBOX? If yes, then following are the tables
Check tables FEBKO and FEBEP. The field is FEBEP-CHECT for check number. For this check number take FEBEP-KUKEY. With this KUKEY read table FEBRE. FEBRE-VWEZW is the invoice number.
So, sequence is
1. Put Check# --> FEBEP-CHECT and get FEBEP-KUKEY
2. Put FEBEP-KUKEY into --> FEBRE-KUKEY
3. FEBRE-VWEZW is invoice no.
If you are not using LOCKBOX, How are you getting customer payment? Let me know so i can give you exact answer.
Regards,
RS
