Converting char type to numeric

hi,
is there any Function Module that converts char type to numeric.
thanks.

hi,
data : w_num type i,
w_char type char10.
Use can asign character to numeric in PGM by using the statement try endtry.

Converting Char type structure to Hex type structure

Hello ,
In unicode system how to convert char type structure to hex type structure . I am having structures as follows :
DATA: BEGIN OF HEXBYTE,
X TYPE X,
END OF HEXBYTE.
DATA: BEGIN OF CHARBYTE,
C TYPE C,
END OF CHARBYTE.
HEXBYTE-X = CHARFIELD.
CHARBYTE = HEXBYTE.
But error coming is Charbyte and HexByte are not compatible . Plz suggest!!
Thanks ,
Keith

Hi,
These function modules are:

Converting CHAR type to other data types

Dear SDN users,
would any of you know how to convert a CHAR data type to other data types for example hexadecimal etc., and convert them back? I suspect there must be some standard FMs available.
Thankyou for your responses.

Smitha

Hello smitha ,
I suppose you are assigning some variable of char type to a variable of integer type it will automaticaly (implicitly ) convert the type .
in some case we need to change the type explicitly like the above mentiioned .
Thanks and regards ..

Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric 'witholding tax' (OWHT)

Hi Guys.
After I have upgraded my clients 2007 PL 30 database to 8.81 PL05, and running a repair to fix inconsistincies, I am receiveing some error when opening any sales documents.
It takes place when I open a sales document, or browse previous docs. When browsing previous docs, it onlly happens on some of them.
I also receive a different error when viewing sales orders: Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric (CRD2).
Any ideas how to fix it?
It does not limit me from processing and using the rest of the functionality. All calculations with queries in the docs are still working.
Thanks.

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

>> I need to select from a dynamic column name and save the result in a variable, but seem to be having trouble with the values being fed to sp_executesql <<
This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity.
In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point.
Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity.
Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables!
Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.
Think about how silly this is:
SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental.
We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

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.

FM to convert character type to hexadecimal type

I have to make an object unicode compliant .
in the object the password is created using paskey and bcode.
Bcode contains all alphanumeric or alphabets.
and paskey is numeric.
to create password passkey and bcode are subtracted bit by bit.
now the problem is that i am not able to convert the Bcode to numeric type.
hence at the line where subtraction is starting.
its giving runtime error.
Can anyone help me to convert the alphnumeric chartcters to numeric...hexdecimal type.
Is there any FM or any code , plz tell me.
Its urgent.
Thanks and regards,

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

Convert char to numarical

hi
i have a char type var which contain value = ****12,1212.00
now i want to convert this char value in to numarical value like 12,1212.00 .
for that i have used the conversion_exit_alpha_input but i did not get proper out put .
plz a fm to solve this porblem .

Well, you example dumps.........why? Because you need to get rid of the thousands seperator.
report zrich_0001.
data : v_char(20) value '121,212.00',
v_num type p decimals 2.
translate v_char using ', '.
condense v_char no-gaps.
v_num = v_char.
write : v_num.
Of couse, this only works if you user specific formating is like 123,456.00
Where , is the thousands sepeator and '.' is the decimal separator.

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(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 ....
Thanks
Santhosh

This is my code in a generic method to transform a table into a csvrow
when 'P'.
 tmpstr = <p_field>.
 len = strlen( tmpstr ) - 1.
 tmpstr = tmpstr+0(len).
 if <p_field> < 0.
 sign = '-'.
 else.
 sign = ' '.
 endif.
 case decimalformat.
 when 'X' or 'E'.
 split tmpstr at '.' into int frac.
 ptmp = int.
 write ptmp to cp.
 shift cp left deleting leading space.
 replace all occurrences of '.' in cp with ','.
 concatenate
 s
 sign
 cp
 frac
 delimiter
 into s in character mode.
 when 'Y' or 'D'.
 split tmpstr at '.' into int frac.
 ptmp = int.
 write ptmp to cp.
 shift cp left deleting leading space.
 replace all occurrences of ',' in cp with '.'.
 concatenate
 s
 sign
 cp
 frac
 delimiter
 into s in character mode.
 when ' '.
 concatenate s sign tmpstr delimiter into s in character mode.
 when others.
 concatenate s '????????' delimiter into s in character mode.
 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.
