Convert from char* to unsigned char*

Hi, I try compile example from: http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14294/relational.htm#i1000940
in Visual C++ and I have problem with:
const string userName = "SCOTT";
because string is defined as unsigned char* and "SCOTT" is char*, is any function to convert from type char* to type unsigned char* ?

I'm apologize for this stupid question, answer is very easy:
const string userName = (const unsigned char*) "SCOTT";

Convertion from Char to Hex

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to convert char type to Hex type.
I have two structures. one is Character type and other is hex type like below.
data: v_hex(300) type h,
        v_char(300) type c.
When we move v_char(300) to v_char(300), it is working fine in 4.6 system.
But it is giving unicode error in ECC 6.0. So i have changed the statement to v_hex = v_char.
There is no syntax error but it is not converting the same.
Please post your replies. Thanks in advance.

Check a convertion from CHAR TO NUMC

Hi,
I import a flatfile into a structure that contains only CHAR-fields. Then I make a TRY-CATCH construct for every field in P,I,F,N..-datatypes to check if the data is correct.
P,I,F raise a CONVERT-Exception that i can handle.
A move to N-field raise no exception but put a wrong values to the N-field.
Example:
Charfield contains ' 1 1 0000', N-field is '110000'.
A compare in the program like
IF C-Field <> N-Field raise a exception that can't be catched by TRY-Catch.
How can i check if the field is correct?
Anybody understand me and have an idea?
Regards,
Stefan

Hi Christian and Rich,
thank you for your fast reply.
I've written one TRY method that has a import-parameter with TYPE ANY and a import-parameter for the target field.
The target field can be everything like P,I,F,N,C,D.
The method checks if the value can be converted into the target field and avoid a shortdump, when the flatfile contains bad data.
So I have to get the type by
cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data
and then make your suggested Conatins-only-check if it is a
cl_abap_typedescr=>typekind_num
Thanks,
Stefan

tanxThat's kinda vague. Do you mean convert '1' into the integer value 1 or convert '1' into the ASCII integer value of 49?
Here's how to do the first:
String one = "8";
String two = "3";
String numbers = "0123456789";
int oneInt = numbers.indexOf(one);
int twoInt = numbers.indexOf(two);
System.out.println("oneInt = " + oneInt);
System.out.println("twoInt = " + twoInt);If you meant the latter then ...
char c = 'c';
int cInt = (int)c;

Need you help !!! -- Convertion from Char to Date

Dear experts:
I am new to abap and here is one thing need your help:
Currently I have a char type field defined in the source table, after I retrive this field into my work area, I need to convert it to Date type and then calculate the last day of this date.
for example: WA_TEST-CHAR = '20100801'. This value in orignal ECC table is char type.
Then How can I convert this value to a date type, and calculate its last day?
My expected result is "20100731".
BTW, does anybody know how to convert a date type field to a number type field like To_number() or something?. If I need to get the period between 2 different date, how can I get this?
Any post will be appreciate and thank you all in advance!
Best Regards
Tim

Convert from jchar to char

Does any one know how to convert from jchar to char?
Thank you,

does it have to be a jchar or can you get a jstring? is it possible to convert your jchar into a jstring before you pick it up in jni? if you can get a jstring you can use the function
const char* GetStringUTFChars(jstring str, jboolean *isCopy)
you would get back a character pointer that points to a single char plus the null terminator

Convert from int to char

Hi,
How can I convert from an int to char?

The challange is to convert from int to String without using any API or automatic conversionWoah, what a challenge ! Why ?
Anyway, what about a recursive call and switch statement. Something likepublic String intToString(int n) {
    if(n<0) {
        return "-"+intToString(-n);
    if(n<10) {
        return getStringDigit(n);
    else {
        return intToString(n/10) + getStringDigit(n%10);
private String getStringDigit(int n) {
    switch(n) {
        case 0:
            return "0";
        // etc.
}

HOW TO TRANSFER DATA FROM CHAR TYPE TO NON CHAR TYPE

HI EXPORTS,
THIS IS SASIDHAR, I HAD UPLOADED DATA FROM FLAT FILE INTO DYNAMICAL INTERNAL TABLE NAME <T_UPLOAD>. THIS INTERNAL TABLE FIELDS ARE CONVERTED INTO CHAR TYPE FIELDS. NOW I HAVE TO TRANSFER THIS DATA INTO ANOTHER INTERNAL TABLE <DYN_TABLE> WHICH CONTAINS BOTH CHARACTER AND NON CHARACTER FIELDS. PLEASE ANY ONE GUIDE ME REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
THANKS AND REGARDS
SASIDHAR.V

there is no specific CASTING operation in ABAP, so just do following:
non-char-field = char-field.
as long as it is possible ABAP does implicit casting and you dont have to care about anything.

How can I convert a char to element? urgent !!!

I have a String put into an charArray. now I want to convert this char to an Element-Type. Whats the right way ???
thanks a lot for help

private String htmlTagFilter(String htf)There is absolutely no way to get 'attributes' starting with the above method declaration. String doesn't have that information and nothing you do to it will get it.
Now maybe the value of the string has text which describes an attribute. But if that is the case then you are going to have to go looking for it. That means parsing the string to find pieces and then extract it.
getAttributes()-Method from class javax.swing.text. There is no such class. I would guess you are referring to javax.swing.text.Element and its method getAttributes().
However that method returns an AttributeSet which is an interface. So to create your own AttributeSet you are going to have to know in great detail what exactly goes into that before you can parse a string and create it.
I will go out on a limb here and suggest that you don't really want to parse that String. You are trying to achieve an objective and got off on this tangent. And if you explain how you got the string and what you want to do with it, maybe some one could explain how to do what you want.

Fact columns Datatype is changing from char to int in OBIEE 11g

Hi ,
I am taking measure columns - "product description","tot cost" against a dimension "project name" .
I am generating this report in a planing form and OBIEE .
in planing form :
product description tot cost
project name
P1 A 1500
p2 B 1700
p3 C 1800
in obiee report :
product description
project name
P1 16 1500
p2 17 1700
p3 19 1800
Somehow , measure's datatype are getting changed from char to number , in OBIEE report.
By default , the data type for all fact's is Double .I tried changing that to varchar , but result is same .
Do I need to change anything in physical layer / RPD .
OBIEE version : 11.1.1.6
Essbase version : 11.1.2

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply . To confirm , the data type of product description column is "double" in essbase .
I found out ,thers's a RDBMS table , consisting of two columns - ID, text value . where product description's are in text value's with the corresponding ID's(integer values) .
Now , when I am creating a form in planning , its fetching the text values of product description (there's some inbulit setting's available for this in plannng) .
However , in obiee its fetching the ID values of product description .
So ,
1. Is there any similer setting I can do for OBIEE , so that it's fetches only text value's of product description .
2. If not , then I have to join the essbase fact table with this RDBMS table . I am not sure how to do it .
