Hi, Can Any One help me Please.
I need a Oracle conversion script for converting from decimal to hex. and decimal to datetime.
Thanks In Advance.

for the Hex-Number-conversion see:
[url http://psoug.org/snippet/Convert-Hex-to-Decimal-Decimal-to-Hex_78.htm] self-defined Conversion-Functions
What number format do you have? YYYMMDD
Or is there a Date corresponding to 1 and a number n represent the date n-1 days after day 1?
Please describe further.

Conversion function module

Hello Friends,
When ever i down load into excel file the filed 'WERKS' is becoming from '0780' to 780 and when i try to upload i am getting as 780 which is creating some problems. Is there any conversion function module to convert the the field WERKS from 780 to 0780.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
When you are using FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' to download to excel file, you need to populate the parameter FILE TYPE with DBF.
call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
exporting
filename = p_file
<b>filetype = 'DBF'</b>
Thanks

Using conversion functions

When using the numeric conversion functions, such as to I16, what determines whether a number greater than the upper limit is coerced to the upper limit or is wrapped around from the lower limit?

In general, LV will coerce the way that the CPU does. Integers to
integer will take the lower portion, performing a modulo operation.
Float to integer will pin, typically to the correctly signed maxInt.
If it is important to your algorithm, build a quick test VI.

Informix Date Conversion Functions

I am converting some Informix ESQL/C programs to Oracle Pro*C.
I was wondering if there are any libraries out there that do the same thing as the Informix Date conversion functions(to avoid re writting them).
Thank You

Hi ,
Please try this one.
if ITAB_DTL-date   <> ''.
                   CONCATENATE ITAB_DTL-date+6(2) '.'
                               ITAB_DTL-date+4(2) '.'
                               ITAB_DTL-date+0(4)
                          INTO ITAB_DTL-w_date.

How can I create a conversion function?

Hi!
I want to know hot to create a conversion function.
I want to display at program screen the format 000.000.000-39 but register 00000000000(char 11).
Thanks

Yes you can. I will point you to an example. You can do the same.
1. Display domain PS_POSNR in SE11.
2. Click on the Definition tab.
3. Look at the field called Convers routine. It says ABPSP
4. Double-click on this field. This shows two function modules, one called *..INPUT and the other called *..OUTPUT.
You will have to create a function group with those two function modules and assign the conversion routine in the domain,

Currency conversion issue in SPM. We are getting incorrect results with SPM conversion function from one of the document currency to USD.

Currently we are using SPM 2.0 version and we have been facing currency conversion issues.
Please help me in following aspects.
1) Where actually currency conversion happens in SPM. Is it the global program which does the conversion or other way.
2) We have conversion issue for one of the currency where conversion function is giving incorrect results when converting from one of the document currency to USD. here The respective document currency is considering the 1:1 ratio with Dollar which is actually incorrect.
3) We have verified in both BI side(currency tables) and even ECC side.
Please help me in understanding this issue and let me know if you need more information on this.
Its an production issue and appreciated your immediate inputs.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi Arun,
The following information may be helpful to you.The SSA_HELPER_PROGRAM has options regarding currency settings.
EXCH_RATE_TYPE: This flag governs the exchange rate type which will be used for currency conversion in data management. For example if RSXAADMIN contains an entry EXCH_RATE_TYPE = „ZSPM‟ then the conversion type used for currency conversion is ZSPM. The default value for the exchange rate type is „M‟. More details can be found in the note 1278988.
CURRENCYCONVERSION: By default data management converts all the measures in transaction currency to reporting currency and copies over to the corresponding measure in reporting currency. If the measure in reporting currency is already available in source it might be desirable to disable the currency conversion. To disable the conversion you can make an entry CURRENCYCONVERSION = „ „ in the table RSXAADMIN. This can also be achieved by running the program SSA_HELPER_PROGRAM with the option DEACTIVATE_CURRENCYCONVERSION. The conversion can be reactivated by running the same program with option ACTIVATE_CURRENCYCONVERSION.
UNITCONVERSION: Similar to above. To deactivate unit conversion you can use the program with option and DEACTIVATE_UNITCONVERSION and to reactivate ACTIVATE_UNITCONVERSION. By default both the conversions are switched on
EXTERNAL_CURRENCIES: Normally most of the international currencies are stored with two decimal places however certain currencies do have 0 and 1 decimal place too. For example JPY has 0 decimal places. SAP internal format stores even these currencies with 2 decimal places and at the time of display it changes the value to right decimal places. In case a file from external source is loaded to SPM it might have the format with 0 decimal places in the file. To convert it to SAP standard format post processing needs to be done on this value. If that is the case you can set the flat EXTERNAL_CURRENCIES = „X‟ in the table which will enable the post processing for these values. This flag can also be set and reset using the helper program using the option TURNON_EXT_CURRENCY_FORMAT and TURNOFF_EXT_CURRENCY_FORMAT.

How to call CLOB to BLOB conversion function within stored procedure?

I have a tiny APEX application from which I need to be able to print. I’ve used these two resources: (Is there an inexpensive APEX report printer for invoices/checks/statements? and http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13363/up_dn_files.htm#CJAHDJDA)
I guess that in order to be able to download the RTF document stored in CLOB, I need to convert it into BLOB. I’ve found this function for this purpose on Oracle forums:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION     c2b( c IN CLOB ) RETURN BLOB
-- typecasts CLOB to BLOB (binary conversion)
IS
          pos PLS_INTEGER := 1;
          buffer RAW( 32767 );
          res BLOB;
          lob_len PLS_INTEGER := DBMS_LOB.getLength( c );
BEGIN
     DBMS_LOB.createTemporary( res, TRUE );
     DBMS_LOB.OPEN( res, DBMS_LOB.LOB_ReadWrite );
LOOP
     buffer := UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw( DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR( c, 16000, pos ) );
     IF          UTL_RAW.LENGTH( buffer ) > 0
     THEN
               DBMS_LOB.writeAppend( res, UTL_RAW.LENGTH( buffer ), buffer );
     END IF;
     pos := pos + 16000;
     EXIT WHEN pos > lob_len;
END LOOP;
RETURN res; -- res is OPEN here
END c2b;And I am trying to use it in the modified download procedure that I also have found on Oracle forums:

Date Conversion Function Modules YYYYMMDD to MM/DD/YYYY

Hi,
I have a requirement to Conver the Dats from format: YYYYMMDD into the Format : MM/DD/YYYY. Can you please suggest me a suitabble Standard Function Module if exists? If not please suggest me a solution for this data conversion.
Thanks,
Rajan.SA

Hi,
You can use WRITE FORMATING.
Here the sample code:
DATA: BEGDA       TYPE TEXT10,
      ENDDA       TYPE SY-DATUM.
WRITE SY-DATUM TO BEGDA MM/DD/YYYY.
WRITE SY-DATUM TO ENDDA MM/DD/YYYY.
And of course you can use other format, like:
... DD/MM/YY
... MM/DD/YY
... DD/MM/YYYY
... MM/DD/YYYY
... DDMMYY
... MMDDYY
... YYMMDD
Or you can use concatenate statement:
    concatenate SY-DATUM+4(2) SY-DATUM+6(2)
    SY-DATUM(4) INTO BEGDA separated by '/'.

Content conversion functionality inside Seeburger

Hello,
I am trying to find out what are the content conversion features, probably BIC, inside Seeburger adapter. As of this moment, the standard file adapter has one limited functionality: each record must have an end separator. I was wondering whether Seeburger is able to fix it

Yes, we use BIC to convert EDI Data to XML in our Adapters.
It can also process Fixed/Variable length fields and you dont need to have record separators (if there is a positional way to find the end of record). It can be called as a module right after the file adapter.
If you send me a mail I can get you in contact with our professional service, so they can do setup a demo for your data format.

Conversion Function module for Volume

hi,
Is there any standard function module to do the conversion of VOLUME.
for example : if i have source volume in one unit & i want it in another unit.

If it is a straight conversion and you do not need to use the conversion factors tied to a material then you can do something like this.
report zrich_0001.

            p_uomi type t006a-msehi,
            p_uomo type t006a-msehi,
            p_qtyo type p decimals 2.

      input                      = p_qtyi

*   ROUND_SIGN                 = ' '
     unit_in                    = p_uomi

Unit conversion function module

Hi,
Can anyone give me the details of this function module
Function Module name: MENGE_UMRECHNEN.
its urgent.
Thanks in advance.
vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,
This function module gives you the provision of conversion of quantities from Base Unit of Measure to any of the Alternative Unit of Measures or vice-versa.
But this function would be done only for the materials and its limitation would be determined by the data maintained for a material in T006 table.
Using this FM you can convert a material quantitity of unit 'X' to unit 'Y' only if 'X' and 'Y' are of the same dimension.

Data conversion functions ??

Hi,
whats the function to convert a numeric data to char ??
I have a field value which is numeric and when I use it in my BDC program I get a runtime error
CONVT_NO_NUMBER
Unable to interpret "/" as a number.
On debugging, I could see in the code that NODATA is represented as "/" and when it is being compared with my numeric field data, this mismatch is reported. So I think it would be right for me to pass on the value after conversion. the statement currently looks like
perform bdc_field       using 'RF022-GJAHR'
                               bkpf_rec-gjahr.
where gjahr contains data such as 2004, 2005 etc.
Please help..
thanks

Quantity Conversion Function Module

Hi,
I am using BW7.0's feature - Quantity Conversion (TCode: RSUOM).
I could use it for converting quantity for different unit on the fly during report time.
Now, I would like to do convert during data upload. Is there any function module that can help?
Please note that the quantity conversion factor is "Material dependent".
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Chris

Hi,.
1) In the BEx Tab page of
Characteristic 0MATERIAL, maintained the field "Base Unit of Measure" as 0BASE_UOM .
2) In the BEx Tab page of
Characteristic 0MATERIAL, maintained the field "Unit of Measure for Char." by click on the New button, it will generate a DataStore Object, which will store information for calculating the conversion factor.
3) Fill in the DataStore generated with data, using the DataSource 0MAT_UNIT_ATTR.
Note that we must NOT use the the former infosource technique and update rules for loading data to it. Use transformation and DTP, else the SID could not be loaded to it.
(I stuck with this problem before..:))
4) Create a Quantity Conversion Type through TCode RSUOM, the Conversion factor can choose 1,3 or 4, with reference to 0MATERIAL InfoObject.
5) Then in any query of cube with 0MATERIAL in it, the quantity conversion type defined in step 4 could be use for displaying data in other UOM~

How can i convert the firefox-history-timestamp in places.sqlite into a normal date format? The firefox-timestamp is not equivalent to the unix-timestamp, that's why I ask. I could not find a conversion function. Does anyone know something about this?

As I opened the places.sqlite with an sqlite-editor I found out that firefox saves the last_visit_date via a timestamp which is 16 digits long. I realized that the first 10 digits are similar to the corresponding unix-timestamp but not equal. So.. how can i convert the firefox-timestamp into a normal date? Or into the corresponding unix-timestamp?

Write a bash script or 'C' program to change the date format and then use the sql update function to receive the stdio output 'where date_field='embeded date value'.
