see documentation:
"If the INTO addition is used in the LOOP statement to assign the content of the current line to a work area wa, its content is changed upon entry into the AT-ENDAT control structure as follows:
The components of the current control key remain unchanged.
All components with a character-type, flat data type to the right of the current control key are set to character "*" in every position.
All the other components to the right of the current control key are set to their initial value.
When the AT-ENDAT control structure is exited, the content of the current table line is assigned to the entire work area wa. "

How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

You have to use custom JavScripting to concatenate the first 2 fields. You cannot use the first 2 calculation options because they force the values of the fields to a numeric value or ignore string values.
Possible scripts for the 3rd field are:
event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
or
event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString.concat( " ", this.getField("Text2").valueAsString);
If you do not want change the separator or not show the separator when on or the other field is empty, you will need to add more code to adjust for change.
The above scripts will also concatenate number because the field values are read as strings and not numbers.
There is also a generalized user written function to concatenate up to 3 fields with a separator that adjust for missing data.

How to convert a numeric field representing UNIX time to a standard report

Looking for some help on the creation of a formula that will allow me to convert a numeric string which represent Unix time to a standard date format.
Sample string value "1199149200", Jan 1 2008, 1 AM

Hi,
Use the DateAdd formula convert Unix epoch to normal datetime (Unix epoch = number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970).
DateAdd("s", 1199149200, datetime("01/01/1970 00:00:00"))
Cheers,

Adding leading zeros to a non-numeric field

Hello
I have an application which currently does not validate a field and the user can enter any string on this specific field. The customer wants me to write a view to bring information from a child table which uses the free format field as the key to join.
Example, the field A is free format, but, we would expect something like "0000001-AB', however the users are inputing '1' or '001-AB'. The client wants to see these cases to be displayed (and joined) as '0000001-AB'. The format is 7 digits + '-' + two digit code.
I would like to know, how can I display this on a view, since most of my cases are '1' or '001-AB'. But there are others with crazy things like '1+2+3+4' and these cases are giving me an error of "invalid number" since I am using the TO_NUMBER function so far.
Thanks!
Eduardo Ferrari

WITH t AS (SELECT '1' txt FROM DUAL
           UNION
           SELECT '001-AB' FROM DUAL
           UNION
           SELECT '1+2+3+4' FROM DUAL)
SELECT CASE
          WHEN LENGTH ( (REGEXP_REPLACE (txt, '[-AB]') || '-AB')) < 10
          THEN
             LPAD ( (REGEXP_REPLACE (txt, '[-AB]') || '-AB'), 10, '0')
          ELSE
             REGEXP_REPLACE (txt, '[-AB]') || '-AB'
         end txt
from t

This u can do by program,after populating the output data,do the sums for the required fields in program and append that to output table as last record.Display the last row with differant color.

Null values in Numeric fields of Datasets

I am wondering if anyone has run into this problem before and
checking to see if anyone has an elegant solution.
I have a rather large data set. (actually 5 of them on a
single page) I am sorting certain columns in a table as numbers so
i assign the variable " ds1.setColumnType("somenumbercolumn",
"number")" In most cases Spry works great and it sorts by numbers
properly. The problem is some of the fields in the XML file are
null and I am trying to sort them as a number. Spry actually
adjusts for this (as far as i can tell) and treats them like a 0
which isn't exactly ideal considering there are real zero values in
the data. I know spry doesn't currently format numbers:
So here is my question. Does anyone one have a solution to
fixing null values in a table so that it is still sortable but
doesn't display a "0" and instead displays something like "--" or
whatever. I have the option of editing the XML file as well, but I
still need the table to sort by number.
If not null values, how about non numeric fields which can
still be sorted in a numeric column?

Hi,
We have an old post that raised a similar problem with yours.
The post can be found
here
For you situation, you should add an if condition for the
rows that have 0 and to add a custom string instead 0.
for (var i = 0; i < numRows; i++)
if(rows
[ "field_name"] == 0)
rows[ "field_name" ] = '--';
Hope this helps you,

Non numeric @Id being treated as numeric (EJB3/ADF Faces) [Please Frank]

Hi,
I have a non-numeric field (varchar2) defined as such:
public class DepartmentV implements Serializable {
    @Id
    @Column(name="DEPT_ID", nullable = false)
    private String deptId;
...When I run the program, I get the following error:
Exception [TOPLINK-4002] (Oracle TopLink Essentials - 2006.8 (Build 060829)): oracle.toplink.essentials.exceptions.DatabaseException
Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01722: invalid numberThis is because the column in the table has some non-numerics in it. However the column is defined as varchar, and in the EJB it is defined as String, so why is it being treated as a numeric and how do I fix it?
many thanks
R

Hi,
tried to reproduce in JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 with no success
@Entity
@NamedQuery(name = "Testtable.findAll", query = "select o from Testtable o")
public class Testtable implements Serializable {
private Long age;
@Id
@Column(nullable = false)
private String idf;
private String name;
public Testtable() {
public Long getAge() {
return age;
public void setAge(Long age) {
this.age = age;
public String getIdf() {
return idf;
public void setIdf(String idf) {
this.idf = idf;
public String getName() {
return name;
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
Works as designed

Large numeric field in a .csv file will not display

A .csv file contains a numeric field which in some rows contains an 11-digit number (like 14024583126). These will not display (blank or null). Some of the rows contain numbers of 5-digits or 7-digits and these display fine. How can I get the 11-digit numbers to display correctly?
I have no capability to change the .csv file to make this field type as string. Would there be a way to convert the numeric field to string?

Thank you for the formula. However, the string field displays just like the numeric field did. If the numeric value in the row is a 5-digit or 7-digit number it converts to text and displays fine. But if the numeric value in the field is an 11-digit number nothing is displayed after conversion to text. The numeric field must have some limit on what the size can be. How can we get around that limitation?
FYI - the data I'm trying to process is a dump of monthly Call Detail Records from Cisco's Unified Communications Manager. The 11-digit number is a Long Distance Number like 14021234567 (ex., 1-402-123-4567). The 5-digit numbers are VoIP extension numbers while the 7-digit numbers are local calling numbers.

Hi Banerjee,
Create a String/int/long Context variable and point it to UI Input element.Do the validation for correct input value. once the validation is succesful assign that value to RFC BigDecimal variable by Explicit casting.
Hope this might solve your problem .

How to check a field in Message mapping wether it is Non Numeric?

Hi XI Guru's
I am totally new to XI world, Kindly help hopw can I chexk a field while doing message mapping whether the field is non numeric or not.
I dont find any built in function for the same.
If it is using UDF can some body help me in providoing a UDF for this.
Many Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
In SAP PI, all the XML contents by default treated as STRINGS.
So if u want to check whether the incoming field is numeric or not... the only way is to write a UDF code for the same.
the UDF will be,
1. At first
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
in functions.
2.UDF content:
input: field,container
output:boolean
Code
boolean return_Value;
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[0-9]*"); // If u are using the decimals please change the regular expression accordingly.
Matcher m = p.matcher(field);
if(m.matches())
retuen_Value = true;
else
return_Value = false;
return return_Value ;
I hope this will solve ur problem....
