Civil Identity Number Format Mask

Dears,
I Need to change the Format Mask for the Civil Identity Number In The People Enter And Maintain Form
Any Idea How Can I Do That ?
Thanks in Advance.
BR,

Thanks. I did an "on submit and before computation" process that did a SQL replace on the page item. The DML process then successfully inserted the value into the database.

Portal Form: Number Format Mask Accepted Values

Hi, i'm trying to format the way numbers are displayed in our forms, specifically instead of 50,000.00 we want 50,000 - without the .00.
I cannot find anything on format masks in the portal documentation, and the standard oracle masks I have looked up such as "NNNN" etc don't seem to be supported.
Trial and error has yielded a mask of : 99,999,999 which does get rid of the decimal, but introduces a problem where if the value is smaller than the mask it is shifted into the middle of the field (leading spaces are being added for every missing unit that is specified in the mask), but obviously if a smaller mask definition is used then larger numbers appear as ###### which is worse than the leading zero problem.
Where in the documentation can I find the accepted forms of numerical number format masks for use in portal forms?
Thanks..

Let me know if you find a solution to this. I even asked my Oracle instructor and she couldn't tell me how to setup a date format mask. This is what she gave me which doesn't work, but I'm not saying I'm the quickest race car at the track. lol
"Hi,
Try the following format mask "("099")""-"099"-"0999. They have an example of this on page 7-12. I'm not sure if OTN may have a listing of any Forms format mask. Search under Forms Developer and see if you find anything.
Take care,

Number format mask of text item is not applied

Hello all,
I want to format a number like 999G999G999G999G990D00
Is specify the format mask under source of the item. But it is not applied and I don't understand why.
See http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=53873:2 for example
Btw. is it possible to set the format for all numbers in the application at once? I want to have a thousand separator in most cases.

Hello Jacob,
Btw. is it possible to set the format for all numbers
in the application at once? I want to have a thousand
separator in most cases.I am using substitution strings for things like that. You can define some "global" substitution strings on page application definition.
So you just have to put in the format (999G999G999G999G990D00 ) in there once and give it a name. Let's say NUMBER_THOUSAND.
Afterwards you can reference it wherever you need the format e.g. this way:
to_char(10000,'&NUMBER_THOUSAND.').
This way you just have one place where to change the format model.

Tine

Applying date and number format mask

I have specified a date format for an attribute and a number format for another attribute of an entity object using Entity Object Editor - Control hints for the attributes.
The date format is:
Format type: Simple Date
Format: dd.MM.yyyy
The number format is:
Format type: Currency
Format: 0,000.00 km
When using <c:out value="${bindings.MyDate}"></c:out> the format mask for the date is applied and it looks good, but when using
<c:forEach var="Row" items="...">
<c:out value="${Row.MyDate}"></c:out>
</c:forEach>
the format mask is not applied.
When it comes to the number format it is not applied no matter what I use.
I have tried setting the format for the view object attributes as well but the result is the same. How do I make this work?

Can it have something to do with <html:form> ? Since it works using <c:out value="${bindings.MyDate}"></c:out> inside a html:form.

APEX cannot accept any other number format mask except 999G999G999G999G990?

Hi, guys:
Can anyone help me on this problem? I have a report with a column of number type, but I want to use accounting format mask such as <1234.56>, however. whenever I choose any other format model for this number column, I got the error message as "ORA-01481: invalid number format model", I can only choose Numeric format mask: 999G999G999G999G990
Anyone could give me a hint on this? I am using APEX 4.1 and Oracle 11G R2. Here is my query for report
select uh.descr, inv6.userkey, inv6.invno, inv6.amt-pa_temp.Subtotal_Payment over_short_amount
from
(select pa6.invoicekey, sum(pa6.amt) Subtotal_Payment
from payments pa6
where trunc(pa6.pmtdate)<=to_date(:P55_DP_VPF_PROD_DATE,'DD-MON-YY')
and pa6.type not in (5)
and pa6.invoicekey in (select pa5.invoicekey
from payments pa5
where trunc(pa5.pmtdate)=to_date(:P55_DP_VPF_PROD_DATE,'DD-MON-YY')
and pa5.type=2

where inv6.userkey=uh.userkey
and pa_temp.invoicekey=inv6.invoicekey

order by 1Thanks a lot!

I found the cause. Thanks!

A white space is padding just before the output for any Format Mask.

Number Format Mask in Forms

Hi All,
If I enter 99999 in the form it has to display 99,999.00.
What is the format Mask that I have to use to make it dispaly in this way.
Actually I tried 999,999,999.99 but this is leaving empty spaces...and If the number is bigger then It wont display that...
Please advice.
Thanks,
Satish

Once you have the number format, you can trim the left spaces.
1* select to_char(99999,'99,999,999,999.00') result from dual
sql > /
RESULT
99,999.00
sql > select ltrim(to_char(99999,'99,999,999,999.00')) result from dual;
RESULT
99,999.00Thanks,
Rajesh.

Require a Number Format Mask to show leading zeros on decimals

Hi,
My users are complaining about the decimal point not being very clear when fractional numbers are shown. I need a format mask to show a leading zero for numbers between 0 and 1 (eg. 0.5) but not have a trailing point after whole integers.
by example:
10 should show "10"
.5 should show "0.5"
I have tried the following
FM99990D99 which displays as
10 as "10."
.5 as "0.5"
The whole integer of 10 then gets a trailing decimal point. Very ugly as the decimal is the exception to the rule which is why I need to highlight it.
The user do not want a forced decimal place either as follows:
FM999990D09
10 as "10.0"
0.5 as "0.5"
The trailing decimal place is not a practical solution because 99% of numbers are whole numbers and the decimal just pollutes the screen with more zeros, making the numbers harder to read, resulting in more errors.
I am looking for a format mask that shows:
10 as "10"
.5 as "0.5"
I am using Oracle Forms which means I cannot set_item_instance_property for the records which have decimals. I need a single format mask for all options...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim.

Thanks Francois.
Looks like there is not a simple solution using a format mask alone.
I have implemented a very similar solution to your suggestion. I have a character, non-base table field which I populate and dynamically set a format mask if the value is between -1 and 1 (and not zero).
i.e.
if :purchase.qty > -1 and
:purchase.qty < 1 and
:purchase.qty != 0
then
:purchase.qty__dsp := to_char(:purchase.qty,'FM999999990D99');
else
:purchase.qty__dsp := to_char(:purchase.qty);
end if;
Thanks,
Tim.

Solved: Pick Number format mask

Hello,
I'm trying to format all my numbers to a specific model:
999G999G999G999G990D00
I tried doing it like I did with 'PICK_DATE_FORMAT_MASK', where I define my format under
"Application Attributes>Definition". I called it PICK_NUMBER_FORMAT_MASK'.
It didn't work and i got the next error above my report:
report error:
ORA-01481: invalid number format model
I also tried to define an application item with the value: 999G999G999G999G990D00
but then I get the same error. If I paste my number format in my report column under Number / Date Format then it works perfect. But I can't change the global format of my numbers now.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Oli

Oli,
As you already discovered there is no PICK_NUMBER_FORMAT_MASK substitution variable like there is for date pickers. Perhaps this a nice enhancement request. However, there are some workarounds:
<ul><li>
For reports, you can use your PICK_NUMBER_FORMAT_MASK if you convert the NUMBER columns into VARCHAR2 columns like this: 
to_char(number_column,'& PICK_NUMBER_FORMAT_MASK.')</li>
<li>Use ApexLib and extend the firefox plugin with your own numeric settings.</li>
<li>You can use the user interface defaults (table defaults, column defaults) in the shared components section of your application.</li>
</ul>
With kind regards,
Jornica

Delimiteddata and number format mask

Hi,
I need to export data from my report to a csv format in reports 6i.
I installed patch 12 so I can use the delimiteddata format.
This works but I do have problems with the number format.
I formatted all of the number fields so they appear as desired in the report when running in C/S mode.
I learned that you can use the number format, date format and cell wrapper variables for delimited and delimiteddata formats.
These parameters do work with delimited output but they don't when generating delimiteddata.
Only when I start the reports builder with numberformatmask=something on the command line then the number format given on the command line will be used. but then you cannot change it (even not in the dialog when generating a delimited format) anymore once reports builder is open.
Is there a solution for this problem or is it fixed in a later patch (I haven't seen anything new in then patch 13 notes).
Piet

Hi Pieter,
This does looks like a Bug. Please contact Oracle Support to assist you in getting the right patch or otherwise.

Special Number format Mask Visual Compser

I want a specific mask in a number.
For example: 1.234.567

I am not able to have this format.

I want ( . ) like thousands separator and not decimals.
VC just let me used comma like thousands separator when no decimals are display.

Number format issue - comma (1,5) instead of period (1.5) before decimals?

I am using an input field of data type Number. In Norway we use a comma before decimals. I can't get this to work in VC. Have tried to set Number format with 'Local format' checked but this is not helping. (even if my portal is showing Norwegian texts as supposed by the language setting)
If I uncheck this and go to Custom formatting I get to set my own format. NSTR(@OPERATORER_N, ".2") gives me two decimals but with a period as the decimal point. NSTR(@OPERATORER_N, ",2") does not work.
I do not want thousands separator.
Tips?
Henning Strand

Hi,
Check the se Threads i think you definitly get the idea or solution.
But every body ask about to get dot separatot instaed of Comma Separator since this can be get easyly with Language Portal Settings

External Table Number Format

Hi,
i am having an amount field in my input source file. The data type of that field is Number(13,4).
It is accepting the values 509.25, 34.43, etc.
But i am having the records having amount field values as 514,25.
OWB rejects such records as bad records.
But i need to include such records.
Do we have any number format mask as we have date format mask.

Hi,
you have several choices:
1.) Change the decimal split character from . to , for your database or your session.
2.) Change the data type to varchar2, replace the , with a . with an expression and then use the transformation to_number to convert it into a really number format.
3.) ...
