Convert long to decimal

Hi,
I need to transform a data type long returned by the query to a DB, to a decimal type.
Is it possible to introduce this casting in a Assign Activity?
I don't find this function in xpath editor.
Thanks.

Thanks.
I check my xml file, and is right.
The error says:
"<exception class="com.collaxa.cube.xml.xpath.XPathException">XPath expression failed to execute.
An error occurs while processing the XPath expression; the expression is ora:doXSLTransformForDoc('xsl/LongToDecimal.xsl', $Output_Invk_Location_ID.HrLocationsAllCollection).
The XPath expression failed to execute; the reason was: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: oramds:/deployed-composites/default/Locations_rev3.0/xsl/LongToDecimal.xsl<Line 6, Column 134>: XML-22043: (Error) Extension function error: Method not found 'LongToNumericPrimitiveTypes'.
Check the detailed root cause described in the exception message text and verify that the XPath query is correct.

Long / double value convertion to Packed Decimal

Hi,
Could anybody tell me how to convert a long / double value to Packed Decimal (AS400) ?
Thanks,
Probir

Now I'm writing this value in a flat file by
FileOutputStream and sending to mainframe through FTP.
But the mainframe people said it's not converted into
packed decimal. Is it the right way to convert ??When you say "mainframe" I assume you are referring to a machine that uses EBCDIC. Java, even on the iSeries, uses Unicode and not EBCDIC, so when you FTP anything to the mainframe it will go through an ASCII-to-EBCDIC conversion. You want this to happen for text but you don't want it to happen for packed decimals; your carefully-constructed x'12' x'3f' bytes will be dutifully converted into EBCDIC garbage.
FTP of an iSeries file (in the QSYS.LIB file system) to a mainframe is trivial because both client and server use EBCDIC, so there are no conversion issues. So if you could do it that way, you definitely should. Otherwise you are going to have to take your packed decimal data and replace it by the bytes that would be translated into it if it were in EBCDIC. The translation table QEBCDIC in library QSYS shows you how it does that, so use that table. You can look it with the command WRKTBL QSYS/QEBCDIC. You'll notice for example that x'09' in ASCII gets converted to x'05' in EBCDIC. So if you want to get x'05' into part of a packed decimal field on the mainframe, you have to send it x'09'. And so on. Like I said, I would recommend doing something other than this. Ask the mainframe people to not make you used packed decimal, for example.

Convert long to varchar2

Hi there,
I am looking for a convertion, long to varchar2, in a sql statement.
If I run the following query :
select data_default from user_tab_columns
It works fine in sql developper but when I execute it in my PHP code it returns:
Notice: Undefined index: DATA_DEFAULT in /opt/lampp/htdocs/datamodel/index.php on line 64
This issue is due in the case where the columns has null.
So I try with the NVL function:
select nvl(data_default, 'null') from user_tab_columns
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected LONG got CHAR
I found on internet some people are using the substr function but it did not working for me.
select substr(data_default, 1, 2000) from user_tab_columns
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG
Any one has an idea ?
Regards !

See this thread as well you can get an exaple user function
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

App to convert long voice memos to text

Is anyone aware of an app (on Mac or iPhone) that can convert long (over a couple minutes) dictation to text? Dragon Dictation for iPhone works great, but it only handles recordings up to 30 seconds. It seems like there would at least be some Mac app that could convert longer .m4a voice memo files....?

Sync them in iTunes via the phone Music pane. You'll find this at the bottom of the page:
They will go into your music library and a voice memos playlist will be created.

Problem in converting Long Raw to Varchar2

Problem while converting Long Raw data to Varchar2

PL/SQL Solution for Converting Long to VarChar2

I recently had to convert a bunch of text stored in Long fields to a new VarChar2(2000) field in the same table.
As you know if you've ever tried, you can't use a basic SQL the update statement will not do this, e.g. update table1 set field2 = field1 (where field2 is VarChar(2000) and field1 is Long) fails as does update table1 set field2 = substr(field1, 1, 2000).
Interestingly PL/SQL's implementation of SubStr does work with Long fields. I was able to put together the following anonymous PL./SQL block to accomplish the task (msgtext is varchar(2000), msgtext2 is Long):
DECLARE
CURSOR message_cur
IS
SELECT ROWID, msgtext, msgtext2
FROM tlrcmmessages
FOR UPDATE;
message_rec message_cur%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN message_cur;
LOOP
FETCH message_cur
INTO message_rec;
EXIT WHEN message_cur%NOTFOUND;
UPDATE tlrcmmessages
SET msgtext = SUBSTR(message_rec.msgtext2, 1, 2000)
WHERE CURRENT OF message_cur;
END LOOP;
CLOSE message_cur;
END;
I hopes this helps others out there in similar circumstances.
Good luck,

Oracle strongly recommends to convert LONG fields into CLOB:

Converting character to decimal format

hi
i am working on a development where the selection screen has date and time as select options.
and based on the input i have to concatenate date and time into the format- DD.MM.YYY HH.MM.SS
there is a value in the table that has a field containing the above value and i have to fetch the data based on this input.
Now the problem is the field in the table is of format DECIMAL of 16 length.
i want to know how can i pass this value to the select statement.
thanks in advance

How to convert string to decimal in data association function?

In a BPM Script component, how in the Data Association can I use an expression to convert an argument from String to Decimal? I have a Process argument named percentage which is a string. I need to set the value of a data object called signed to either "Y" or "N" based on the percentage being greater than 0.4. Something like this:
(percentage > 0.4) ? "Y" : "N"
The problem here is that percentage is a string, so must be converted to a decimal value before the compare will work. I cannot find a function that allows that. I need something like parseDecimal(percentage), but the Expression Builder does not offer that for a string using a Simple Expression.
If it cannot be converted, is there another way to do this?

Guessing you figured this out on your own, but if you wanted to use a Script activity one way to do what you want is when you're creating your data associations drag the "Expression" icon in the middle and double click the icon in the middle you just added:
Get out of the Simple expression mode and into the XPath expression mode by clicking the dropdown in the upper left corner -> click "XPath Exp".
In the Functions dropdown on the right, click "Conversion Functions" -> click "number" and then insert it into the expression.
In the Variables list, select your string variable and insert it into the number function so that it looks something like this: number(bpmn:getDataObject('myStringVariable'))
Click OK
Click your expression icon in the middle and drag it over your decimal variable.
To have it evaluate and return a Boolean expression in your Script activity, add a Boolean process variable and add an XPath expression as described above except have the logic be this: number(bpmn:getDataObject('myStringVariable')) > .4 (the "greater than" shown above is added to the expression by clicking "Logical Functions" from the functions dropdown). Click OK and drag your expression icon over your Boolean variable.

How can I converting long raw in clob on Apex when I'm creating a view?

I need some help. I'm creating a view and I need converting long raw fields in clob, varchar2, or char when I create a view.
Thanks for your help.

What error did you get when using the functions in a SELECT on a view? If that did not work, identify the table the view is based on and write the SELECT statement directly against that table and not the view.
I do not understand, "I try and they are rights".

Convert Mainframe Packed Decimal to Oralce Number Format

Dear all,
I am having a file in which amount fields are given in a Packed Decimal format. Can anyone suggest me how I can read this data element from the file and convert it into Oracle Number datatype.
File is a fixed length. All the amount fields are given in Packed Decimal Format and rest of the fields are given in text format.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Firstly thanks for your reply.
Actually I am not using SQL Loader to load data from
a flat file to Oracle table. I am writing a custom
program that reads the file and populates the oracle
table. I'll put aside the question of 'why' you'd want to do that. SQL*Loader's singular purpose in life is to load flat files of data into Oracle DB. Sometimes there is a reason for reinventing the wheel.
How does your program communicate with the Oracle DB? If utilizing ESQL and Pro*Cobol (or Pro*<whatever> ) you will have read the data into a variable of some type in you host language. The variable of the host variable to hold the value (if you did a 'select from' that table) would be the correct target type for an insert statement. Whatever host language type conversion is available bewteen those two types ( if they are different at all ) is all that is needed. The precompilers have converters between certain native host and internal Oracle types built-in. It is how you get any data between the two systems. This is only a problem if the host language has no converter between the numeric types (if differnet.). When you read from the flat file are you reading it into a native packed decimal in the host language?
ODBC/JDBC similar strategy..... cast conversion between the native type that Oracle wants and the one into which your custom program reads it into.
So I want to know whether there are any Oracle
utility programs that will convert the packed decimal
to a oracle number format or not.There are Oracle routines that convert into the native Oracle DB formats. There are implicitly available through the normally utilized interfaces to OCI ( ESQL and ODBC/JDBC ) . There are none decoupled from those interfaces though (that I know of).
There are no standalone programs that mutate a flat file into another flat file that then could be loaded. That's is typically slower and utilzes more space than most customers want than just directly inputing the data into Oracle DB.

Convert hex to Decimal and keep leading zeros..

Hi,
I hope you can help?
How to convert hex to Decimal and keep leading zeros
I read 002C, hex, and I want to convert it to 0044 decimal.
sscanf (MyNum, "%4x", &DecNum); will only give me 44.
It have been working up till I started to get leading zeros.
We will always have a 4 digit hex input in a range
We must have the leading 00 in this case.
How is this best done?
Thanks for the help
Simon
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I don't really understand your problem. Is this stuff what you need ?
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
const char MyNum[] = "002C";
int DecNum;
sscanf (MyNum, "%4x", &DecNum);
printf ("%04d", DecNum);
getchar ();
return 0;
"0044" appears on standard output when printf function executes...

Hi Vinny,
Thanks for the posting Vinny (and Stu). I did figure it out. The
problem I initially had was that I had a 2-D array going into a for
loop. I can break the array into 1-D arrays and then change this into
an array into a string. No problems.
Thanks!

Checking and Converting binary, octal, decimal, and hex

Hi,
I have a classroom project which will need to validate that data entered in a text is of a certain type with a keyListener, and then convert that value to the other 3 types.
I know character.isDigit will handle the decimal case, and that I can then use Integer.otString methods to convert to binary, octal, and hex, but what about the other cases?
Thanks

OK, this isn't working. If I've already established
that the string entered into, for example, the
integer-only textfield is a valid integer, I should be
able to simply use integer.parseint(s, 2) to convert
it into binary, right?Not exactly. You should be able to use Integer.parseInt(s, 2) to return the result of converting it from binary representation. You appear to think that this affects whatever "s" refers to, which is not the case. Note also, that method returns an int which is the decimal value in question.
When you are thinking of int variables, be careful not to think of them as "decimal" or "binary". They are neither. They are just numbers. "Decimal" and "binary" are text representations of numbers, so those concepts can only be applied to strings.
Integer.parseInt(s, 2);
txtBin.setText(s);So here you want to assume that the input is a string that represents a number in decimal, and you want to find the string that represents the number in binary. Like this:// convert string in decimal representation to number
int dec = Integer.parseInt(s);
// convert int to binary representation as string:
String binary = Integer.toBinaryString(dec);
// write that to the text field
txtBin.setText(binary);You could use a one-liner to do that, but you'll need the "dec" variable to set the other text boxes.

How to convert minutes to decimal

I need to convert my minutes in my HH:MM record to decimal.
For example if I have 43 hours and 15 minutes (43:15) I need to return the result 43.25 hours
and if i have 10 hours and 30 minutes I need to return 10.50 hours.
How do I do this?

How do I do this?
The simple answer: with math.
Longer answer: parse it using list functions and then do some math. Like this:
<cfset MyTime = "43:15">
<cfset hours = ListFirst(MyTime, ":") > 
<cfset minutes = ListLast(MyTime, ":") > 
<cfset decimalMinutes = minutes / 60 > 
<cfset MyDecimalTime = hours + decimalMinutes > 
Or, in more terse form:
<cfset MyTime = "43:15">
<cfset MyDecimalTime = ListFirst(MyTime, ":") + (ListLast(MyTime, ":") / 60) >
