Convert char to p-type

Hi i have a file with some data i need to load.
I have a field which is 13-position length field, with a comma and two decimals.
When i try to move it to betgr field of t558a table i got a dump.
How can i convert this 13 position char field to betgr type??
Thanks a lot

Hi!
First use this routine on the char field:
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF ',' IN field WITH '.'.
This will replace the commas to dots, and will not dump your program.

Jni: converting char* to JNI type?

In my native C++ code I have to call a function through another dll. This function has an OUT parameter which is of type: char *.
I need to return this parameter to the calling Java method through the native C++ code using JNI ...is the corresponding JNI type that i should be returning jcharArray or jstring??
If so, how do I convert char * to the jcharArray/jstring type.

Things may not be that simple. Beware that this function dos not expect any kind of char* . It expects UTF-8-encoded string.
it means that if your C string is all basic (i.e <127) chars, it is ok.
but if you have some special characters ( where ascii code > 128), it may not be interpreted the way you want.
see the end of http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jni/spec/types.doc.html
for more details.

Convert char to ascii code and vice versa

HI
Is there any function module to convert char to ascii code and vice versa.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
be careful if you have unicode running in your system. URL_ASCII_CODE_GET is platform-dependent so it will return the internal HERX representation of the character in your system - which is hopefully and in most cases ASCII.
Under unicode, we use double-byte characters here. I tried this function and the result CHAR_CODE is '00' regardless what character I specify for TRANS_CHAR. But the coding is so simple I corrected resultig in this sample code:
[P]
convert p_form to ASCII (internal) representation
DATA:
    l_ofs TYPE syfdpos,
    l_len TYPE sy-linsz,
    l_ascii TYPE i.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <x> TYPE x.
l_len = STRLEN( p_ascii ).
DO l_len TIMES.
    l_ofs = sy-index - 1.
    ASSIGN p_ascii+l_ofs(1) TO <x> CASTING.
    l_ascii = <x>.
    WRITE: l_ascii.
ENDDO.
[/P]
Here, for each character of string p_ascii, the internal (ASCII) representation is determined and written to the output list.

Clemens

Convert char to dec

Dear all ,
    I have to convert char to dec , my requirement is to covert 12344434 to 123444.34 .
note i don't want 12344434 to 12344434.00 .
Thanks in advance

You can try like this.
DATA : v_tot_len TYPE i,
        v_off_len TYPE i.
DATA : v_off_text(50) TYPE c,
        v_dec_text(2) TYPE c,
        v_fin_text(50) TYPE c.
PARAMETERS : p_input TYPE text20 OBLIGATORY.
START-OF-SELECTION.
v_tot_len = STRLEN( p_input ).
v_off_len = v_tot_len - 2.
v_off_text = p_input+0(v_off_len).
v_dec_text = p_input+v_off_len(2).
CONCATENATE v_off_text v_dec_text INTO v_fin_text SEPARATED BY '.'.
Here I am inputting the text to be converted.

How to convert char to curr ?

Hi gurus.
Forgive me for the silly question.
I have a problem with data conversion from char to curr with 2 decimal places.
This is the scenario, I have a Z transaction which receives an excel file containing data from invoices and when the field contains a value such as 35,0 the program records the value 3.50 in the destination variable. But when the value is 35,45, it works.
Here is the piece of code:
WHEN '0007 '.
        TRANSLATE USING ITAB-VALUE. " '.
        ITAB-VALUE USING TRANSLATE',.'.
        CONDENSE ITAB-VALUE NO-GAPS.
        WA_OPER_MENORES-VL_BRUTO = ITAB-VALUE.
If I format the column in the excel file for numeric value with 2 decimal places also works, because when the value is formatted 35,0 change to 35,00. But I can not tell all the users hey formatt your files before upload to SAP.
To test I generate a simple report that reads the excel file and makes the conversion of the columns, like the code above, so I had no problems. I think there should be some configuration that has been changed in the transaction, but I'm new in ABAP, I come from "Java World" and I have no idea that could be.
I could just use a quick and dirty solution, adding a zero at the end of the column, when there is the 2 decimal places, but I prefer a clean solution.
Guys, is there any function module or class that does that kind of data conversion? If not, you could tell me what is the best practice to solve this problem?
thank you very much,
Ronaldo S. Vieira

How to convert char(1) to int32 datatype in pl/sql

Hello,
I am trying to convert char(1) to an integer data type to be put into an int32 variable in C#. I tried several options such as TO_NUMBER ,CAST(.. AS INTEGER), and CAST(.. AS SMALLINT) but they all return int64.
Is there a way to ensure the casting into a datatype that is compatible with int32 ?
Thanks

Oracle's SQL Datatypes are limited to NUMBER, BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE.
There's a few others through PL/SQL including BINARY_INTEGER.
If you look in USER_ARGUMENTS you can see it is defined slightly differently.
Don't know whether / how .Net infers datatypes, but it is worth a shot.
create or replace function v (p number) return binary_integer is
begin
return p;
end;

Converting char to decimal value format as defined in SU3(User profile)

Hi Techies,
Is there any FM to convert CHAR value into Decimal fomat as defined in SU3.
If we use, WRITE statement for printing the value in decimal format , it shows the value in decimal format correctly
in SU3 transaction , there are three different decimal format notations which can be user specific
I would appreciate your valuable inputs ....

        endcase.
where pfield is a fieldsymbol type P. (honestly ist from type any, but determined by RTTI). I needed this cause i want to format the value from "outside" without taking the user settings in consideration as write...to.. is doing.
What i'm doing is to use the write... to... clause modifying the result (change decimal point, thousand separator and sign) according to the demanded decimal notation.

Any way to Convert CHAR(8) field to QUAN(8)?

Any way to Convert CHAR(8) field to QUAN(8)?
Thank-You.

Hi
The MOVE statament automatically converts the data format
DATA: VAR_IN(8) TYPE C,
VAR_OUT TYPE P.
MOVE VAR_IN TO VAR_OUT.
It's important your char has only number and the point as separator of decimal part.

Convert char cloumn to binry

how can i convert char to binary

Can you provide a bit more context?
Are you trying to change the definition of a column in a table? Or are you trying to cast a particular value from a table into a binary value in PL/SQL?
How much data are we talking about?
Have you looked at the UTL_RAW.CAST_FROM_<<data type>> functions? Is that what you're looking for?
