Converting char to number value specfically like '6.35'

I am facing a very peculiar problem, if i try to convert a FLOATING NO. in form of CHARACTER to NUMBER value , then to_number function gives VALUE-ERROR
eG. TO_NUMBER('6.35') is resulting in an error. But TO_NUMBER('6') works fine. My forms are working absolutely ok on 2-tier but not on 3-tier.Please Help.

Must have something to do with your NLS settings on your application server, something for the decimal separator. I guess to_number('6,35') would work OK.
I'm not sure exactly what settings you should have on the application server.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thank you for your reply, I guess it can be the problem becoz forms with such code are working fine on Win2000 but are giving a problem on NT , can u give me a clue why it is happening ???

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 ....
Thanks

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.

Convert char to number

I am using to_char("FOMS_DFL"."Adjustment Hours",'9999.9') to my desired format. But I am not able to sum the Adjustment Hours. Can i convert the to_char("FOMS_DFL"."Adjustment Hours",'9999.9') to number using any function.

HI,

Actually I am using this in a reporting tool, so I have created a variable like

If "TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR ..." doesn't cause an error, then all it will do is round the number from each row to the nearest tenth before contributing to the SUM. (That is, if you had 10 rows, each with .049, each row and the grand total would be 0.)
Why not simply use the number? Your front-end tool probably has a way of displaying numbers in a given format.

Converting char to numeric value

I have table with social security no. but application does not
have any validation for data so i get all different kinds of
data like...
123-24-0988
123458900
n/a
N
f234-90-8877
12 345 6789
Now i want to remove all '-' and alpha char from value and just
want to remain only nuemric characters so i can use it as where
parameter.
Is their any function that i can use for this or any other logic
that i can use for this?
Thanks

As demonstrated in a previous discussion regarding checking for
numeric values, translate does not produce the proper results
when you translate it to a null value. However, you can achieve
the desired results, by translating to spaces, then replacing
the spaces:
UPDATE table_name
SET ssn = REPLACE (TRANSLATE (LOWER
(ssn), 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz- ', ' '), ' ', '');

Convert a number value to a date

Post Author: Jeremiah
CA Forum: Formula
I'm using Crystal Reports XI. I'm coming across a problem trying to convert a
number value to a date. I'm using formula below: if not isnull({qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE}) or {qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE}="0"the(stringvar MyDate:= ToText({StoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE},0,"");cdate(2000 + val(left(MyDate,1)),val(mid(MyDate,2,2)),val(right(MyDate,2))))
For this line, I'm receiving an error msg of that "A month number must be between 1 and 12
Here are some of the field's data examples
70608
70501
0
61231 Would anybody have any ideas on how to solve this?

Post Author: SKodidine
CA Forum: Formula
You are getting the error "A month number must be between 1 and 12" because you are trying to convert 0 to a date. The third data item in your field data.
I suggest you default the date to some date when it is zero or eliminate 0 as a date from your formula such as:
if not isnull({qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE})
then(stringvar MyDate:= ToText({StoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE},0,"")
else
If {qryStoreCheckIn.CHECKINDATE} = 0 then (stringvar MyDate:= "00101"); // If date is zero then it is set to 2000/01/01
After this, you will not have problems with a zero date.

How can i read every"number" value and not only the 1st?

in the vi only the first "number" value(from the data acquisition)is read in the small loop.how can i make every value to be read?every value must be compared with the "numeric" constant,and,if greater the led must turn on.afterwards,when a value which is less than the "numeric" is found the led must turn off.please answer or send mail to [email protected]

The more I look at your program, the less I understand it.
Why are you setting number = number in a case if SO2 = ""? number always equals number.
In your sequence frames 1 and 4, you have no control over which write (date or time) happens first. Just placing one function to the left of another doesn't make it happen first if your wiring doesn't create data dependency. Review the section on Data Dependency in chapter 5 of the LabView User's Manual.
It looks you're writing to and reading from the same file using Write File and Read Lines from File.vi. Why read back data you just wrote? You have the data on your diagram. If you want to convert it from string to numeric, use a Sring/Number Conversion function from the String palette.
On Read Lines from File.vi (which I'm not sure you even need), you should use a shift register for the start of read offset rather than a local variable for mark after read (chars.). With a shift register, you can initialize it to 0 when the VI starts. Using a local, if you restart the VI, it will try to startup from where you left off the last time, but you just opened the file for create or replace.
In your sequence frames 2 and 3, why do you wait for the number to be less than the numeric before writing a carriage return to the file? Also, LabView has a End of Line constant which adapts to the expected value for the operating system. That's generally more flexible than a Carriage Return.
It looks to me like you're overusing control refnums. You don't need to use a control refnum and a property node to set or read a control's value if you can wire directly to the control's terminal.
I really don't understand what you're doing with pause and variants. I may be missing the point, but it looks like you made this much more complicated than it needs to be. Why not keep it a boolean?
For your pause-path, you open the file but never close it. You can lose data that way. You also open it using open function 3, create new file. You'll get an error if the file already exists.
On a general note, your diagram would be easier to read if you were more selective in how you routed your wires: you have wires on top of wires, wires running under sub-VIs, wires running in the frame of a while loop, wires running under labels.
I think there's a temptation to overuse sequences. I don't think you need one here. As I mentioned in my earlier message, case structures and shift registers will be more useful to you.

Convert CHAR to INT4

Hi,
Is there any FM that allowes you to convert a variable type char into another one type int4?
I am working on SAP version 4.6C and haven't been able to find any except for 'CHAR_NUMC_CONVERSION' and 'MOVE_CHAR_TO_NUM', but none of them work with int4 type variables.
I also tried to pass the value directly like this "int4 = char", but i got a dump since the char variable contains ','. And in this sap version there no "replace all occurences of..." so i really cant replace all the comas.
Any answers will be appreciated.
Regards,
Roberto

I did it like this:
data: num type p.
condense char no-gaps.
call function 'MOVE_CHAR_TO_NUM'
       exporting
            chr             = char
       importing
            num             = num
       exceptions
            convt_no_number = 1
            convt_overflow = 2
            others          = 3.
int4 = num.

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

Follow this example to convert Char to Curr and Vice-Versa
DATA iamnt(17) TYPE c VALUE '243567.00'.
DATA eamnt TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
DATA oamnt(17) TYPE c.
MOVE iamnt TO eamnt.
WRITE eamnt TO oamnt.
WRITE oamnt.

How to convert exponent to number format

how to convert exponent to number format.My column is in number and the data is in exponent format .for example data is 2.44705130197009E18 .when i do field name haveing this data like
select * from table name where filed name =2.44705130197009E18 ,field name is of number (20) data type .but i am not getting any data fectched .
your advice is at most appriciated .

Example of what I was saying...
SQL> create table myexp (name number);
Table created.
SQL> insert into myexp values (2447051301970090001);
1 row created.
SQL> select name from myexp;
      NAME
2.4471E+18
SQL> col name format 9999999999999999999999999999999999999
SQL> select name from myexp;
                                  NAME
                   2447051301970090001

The number you are seeing as an exponent is not just the number that is stored with lots of 0's on it, there's other information you are missing, so you need to change your format to see the true value.

Convert any base number to decimal

Is there a way to convert any number of base 2-16 into decimal?
The numbers can be input using scanner
Anyone has any code for this?

Hey, guys this is what I got so far for this. But, of course there are issues
1. I'm not sure how to show "invalid" message if a character or floating point number is entered
2. I'm not sure about the code that will only allow the relevant numbers to be entered for each base.
E.g - If base = 2 then number == 1 || 0
This has to be repeated for all allowed base from 2-16
Please help!!!
import java.util.Scanner;
public class BaseConverter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int base;
String number;
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter base value (Integer between 2 to 16): ");
base = scanner.nextInt();
if (base < 2 || base > 16) { // how to get same invalid message for character or float (e.g. -12.2)
System.out.println("Invalid base. Please retry");
return;
System.out.print("Enter the number in base : ");
number = scanner.next();
if (scanner.hasNext()) { // not sure how to validate in relation to entered base
} else {
System.out.println("Invalid number. Please retry");
return;
int decimalValue = 0;
int step = 0;
for (int i = number.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
char c = number.charAt(i);
int cValue = Character.digit(c, base);
decimalValue = decimalValue + (cValue * (int) Math.pow(base, step));
step = step + 1;
System.out.println("Decimal value: " + decimalValue);
}

Jim, I could reproduce and see the error, no change columns order.
You can use the Marwim script's and, on the data grid, select the column DATE, delete value and commit.
On the data grid, select the column var, delete value and commit.
On the data grid, select the column num, delete value and commit -> get error.

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.
