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

Convert a String to Decimal Format in European format

Hi Experts,
I am having a string as a context type for a input field, where the user can enter the Price, I need to convert the same into European format "###.###,00", I am using this below code to convert the string to decimal format
User will enter the input as 10 as it needs to be converted into 10,00. Also, 1000 which has to be converted as 1.000,00
String Str1 = wdContext.currentvn_temptable.getVa_TempUnitPrice();
Locale mylocale = Locale.GERMAN;
String pattern="###.###,00";
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(mylocale);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output = df.format(Str1);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Unit Price" + " " + pattern + " " + output);
When I execute the above code, i am getting an error called "Malformed Pattern ###.###,00"
Please let me know, how to convert a String to Quantity in European format
Thanks & Regards,
Palani

Hello!
Try to change your pattern to this one
Locale mylocale = Locale.GERMAN;
String pattern = "#,#00.00";
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(mylocale);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output = df.format(1111111.222);
Pattern has an influence on number of digits between separators, but you have to use ',' for grouping and '.' for decimal. Character values for separators correspond to your Locale object.
Thanks, Mikhail

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.

Decimal format time value to convert into time (hr:min:sec)value in a graph

I need to develop a graph in WAD, in BW7. In the graph the value must be showed as HR:MIN:SEC, which I cannot get it right.
The keyfigure value carries the duration(hr:min:sec) in decimal format. In the query, I use this keyfigure for calculation. To get the time broadcasted for a week range. I get the total duration (say 507835.000). Now I need to convert this value back to hr:min:sec. I use the below formulas to get the hr, min, sec.
D = 507835
Val1 = D/3600
Val2 = Frac(val1)
Val3 = Val2 * 60
Val4 = frac(Val3) * 60
Hr = Val1 Val2
Min = Val3 frac(Val3)
Sec = Val4
In another formula in the query I add Hr + Min/100 + Sec/10000 to get hr.minsec format.
When I do an average on count of weeks, this doesnt round off correctly.
I tried to also use the Data function TIME() which when the time is > 24 hrs changes the value.
Lets say if it is 39:00:00, it shows value as 15:00:00 instead of keeping the value 39:00:00.
When I used this value in the graph it did not show the HR:MIN:SEC values in the value axis instead it showed 0.0, 0.1,.1.0. Bcoz of this the graph is blank.
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks alot

I checked SU01 and didn't see anything there to customize...
In my workstation, control panel / regional and languages settings / tab regional Options / customize; my time format is HH:mm:ss; the HH has to be in capital letter to display the time in 24 hour...
but this is strange anyway... are you reporting with web frontend or excel?

Convert a column in Numbers that is currently in HH:MM format to decimal format.

I need to Convert a column in Numbers that is currently in HH:MM format to decimal format. IE 6:30 to 6.5

Rj,
There are two possibilities here. Your HH:MM could be a Date/Time value or a Duration.
Let's assume your data is in Column A.
If it's a Date/Time value, do the conversion with the expression:
=TIMEVALUE(A) * 24
If it's a Duration value, do the conversion with the expression:
=DUR2HOURS(A)
In both cases, remember to Format the result to Number with at least one decimal place.
Regareds,
Jerry

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.

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.

How do I convert an 8 bit serial data string I have received (say 01110101) into decimal format??

I am having a hard time finding a function that will help me convert an 8 bit serial data string I have received (say 01110101) into decimal format.

When you have your front panel displayed, you should a whole palette of controls that you can place on the front panel. If the palette is not displayed, thne just right click on your mouse and it should appear. The upper left most set of controls on the palette is Numeric. Go there and select Numeric Indicator to display a numeric output. On the diagram, you can also right click the output 1 and select Create>Indicator. The format string is %b (as in boy) for a binary string. As I said, this should be the value for the format string input. You can right click on the Scan From String and select Edit Scan String. This will bring up a dialog box in which you pick what you want to do (Scan Number) and how you want to do it (Scan Binary Integer
It sounds like you really need to take a course in LabVIEW programming. There are are links here to NI classes and some on-line tutorials.

Convert decimal to User Decimal format

Hi All,
I have number in this format 10.000,52.I want to change this format to my User decimal format whcih is entred in SU01.
Can anybody please help me out.
Thanks,

Hi Swapna,
Please go to SU01 --> Enter user id --> display --> Anc click on default tab and check the decimal notation.
Declare one field to currency type and then try
Use FM BKK_AMOUNT_CONV_TO_INTERN_MAIN.
you can check by changing the values in su01.but remember your change reflect only when you logoff SAP and again login.so once logoff is needed.

Language Dependent Formatting of Amount and Currency
To format a currency amount with decimals according to the currency use WRITE and the CURRENCY option.
Currency keys an d numbers of decimals are defined in table TCURX Decimal Places in Currencies.
Example 1: Formatting an amount in Kuwatian Dinars:
Dmbtr = 123456.
Write dmbtr currency 'KUD'
123.456
Write dmbtr currency 'USD'
1234.56
Note that the formatting does not depend on the number of decimals in the number in the program.
Dmbtr = '12.3456'.
Write dmbtr currency 'USD'
1234.56

Key figure Date in Decimal format

Hi all,
   I have a key figure 0CPR_ACFR_K (Date) which is in Decimal format.
   Data in PSA for the particular field was like this '07102008'
   but after that it is changing to 7327.98 that is in decimal format.
   But i dont want this to happen ie. it should not get converted to Decimal or
   i want to convert the decimal value again to the equivalent date.
   pls help in this.

Hi jean liker,
It will get converted due to its properties. If you want to use this particular object as keyfigure, you can create a variable with processing type replacement path and use. Its better to maintain as char.

How to convert standard (Western) numerical format to Indian format?

I have been doing a lot of research and while I've repeatedly found the function module to convert numerical amounts in to words (HR_IN_CHG_INR_WRDS) I haven't found a way to convert a standard numerical format, 121,212,123 in to the Indian format of 12,12,12,123 or 505,000 to 5,05,000 for example.
I repeatedly saw in other threads people were suggesting to change the decimal format of the currency in OY01 however the Indian format option is not listed. We only have the following options:
X 1,234,567.89
Y 1 234 567,89
1.234.567,89
Whereas I would need 12,34,567.89.
Is there a Function Module we can use? Is there some CIN add-on we need to import to make the additonal decimal format available?
Thanks in advance

Check [this link>>>|http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?Amount=10000000&From=USD&To=INR&image.x=62&image.y=20&image=Submit]
else.. You might have to write a conversion routine...
DATA: curr TYPE netwr,
c(20) TYPE c.
curr = '1234567890'.
WRITE:/ 'before:', curr.
WRITE curr TO c USING EDIT MASK '__,__,___.__'.
WRITE:/ 'after:', c.

Decimal Format and Scientific Notation

I am trying to print numbers in scientific notation using the Decimal Format class. What follows is a simple test program I wrote to find the bug. So far, I have not found a solution.
import java.text.*;
public class formatted {
public static void main (String Arguments[]) {
DecimalFormat form = new DecimalFormat("0.###E0");
double numb = 123456.789;
System.out.println("Nuber is: " +
form.format(numb));
The output of this program is... Nuber is: 123456E
The output is the same if numb is an int, float, or double. If I format the number as "#####.0" or "#####.00" the output is correct. I think that I am following the rules for formatting a number in scientific notation as the process is outlined in the documentation (provided below).
***** From Decimal Format under Scientific Notation ***
Numbers in scientific notation are expressed as the product of a mantissa and a power of ten, for
example, 1234 can be expressed as 1.234 x 10^3. The mantissa is often in the range 1.0 <= x < 10.0,
but it need not be. DecimalFormat can be instructed to format and parse scientific notation only via a
pattern; there is currently no factory method that creates a scientific notation format. In a pattern,
the exponent character immediately followed by one or more digit characters indicates scientific
notation. Example: "0.###E0" formats the number 1234 as "1.234E3".
Anyone understand how the short program is incorrectly written?
Marc

The problem is
format = "0.###E0"
input number = 123456.789
output = 123456E (not scientific notation!)
This is not scientific notation at all. There is no decimal point given and no value in the exponent.
I understand entirely that by adding more #'es will provide more precision. The bug I have is the output is not printed in the scientific format; other formats work.

Converting varchar2 to date format

I've converted date formats many times, but for some reason I'm getting an invalid number error when trying to convert a varchar2 column.

I've tried the to_char and to_date function and I get the same result. The column is a date and it is formatted as DD-MON-YYYY,If the column is a DATE, then it has the same format that all DATEs have, which is nothing like 'DD-MON-YYYY'. Formats like that only apply to strings.
Conversely, if it is formatted as 'DD-MON-YYY', then it is a string, not a DATE.
but I want to change it to MM/DD/YYYY. My query is below:
select to_date('fccpdate','MM/DD/YYYY')
from cc_class_scmast_vTO_DATE (x, 'MM/DD/YYYY') tries to convert the string x into a DATE. Let's say it starts by taking the first 2 characters of x, to get the month. The first 2 charcters of 'fccpdate' are 'fc', which is not a valid number (at least not in base 10), let alone a number between 1 and 12, so TO_DATE raises an error.

I've tried removing the single quotes from my column and that doesn't make a difference. Any help is appreciated.That's a good first step. Literals are enclosed in single-quotes, identifiers (including column names) are not. 'fccpdate' is the literal 8-character string containing 'f', 'c;, another 'c', 'p', 'd', 'a', 't' and 'e'. fccpdate (without single-quotes) can be the name of a column.
If fccpdate is a string, such as '18-JUL-2012', then you can convert it to a DATE using TO_DATE.
TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')If you want to display a DATE in a particular format, use
TO_CHAR ( d
        , f
        )where d is a DATE, and f is the format string. In this case, d might be the TO_DATE expression above
TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE (fccpdate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
        , 'MM/DD/YYYY'
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
