Converting currency fields into strings without separators

Hi all,
   Currently i'm using the write statement to do the conversions.
   data : amt(30).
   write bseg-dmbtr into amt currency 'USD'.
   However the output is in "123,456.00" format.
   I need the output in "123456.00" without the commas.
   Other than doing a "REPLACE" command for the commas in the amt string, is there a better way of getting the desired currency output without commas?
regards

Ahhhh thanks!
I get error while rewarding the solution? I'll try again later

How to convert BLOB data into string format.

Hi,
I have problem while converting blob data into string format.
for example,
Select dbms_lob.substr(c.shape.Get_wkb(),4000,1) from geotable c
will get me the first 4000 byte of BLOB .
When i using SQL as i did above,the max length is 4000, but i can get 32K using plsql as below:
declare
my_var CLOB;
BEGIN
for x in (Select X from T)
loop
my_var:=dbms_lob.substr(x.X,32767,1)
end loop
return my_var;
I comfortably convert 32k BLOB field to string.
My problem is how to convert blob to varchar having size more than 32K.
Please help me to resolve this,
Thanx in advance for the support,
Nilesh

Nilesh,
. . . .The result of get_wkb() will not be human readable (all values are encoded into some binary format).
SELECT utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(tbl.geometry.get_wkt()) from FeatureTable tbl;
-- resulting string:

My prime issue is to convert the values in the arraycollection into String variables.
Please help me on the ablve matter..! Thanks in advance..!

fromStation and toStation are already Strings, but you are attempting to cast an ArrayCollection entry to a SectorsVO object. The problem is that SectorsVO has a no-arg constructor and the entry that you are attemping to cast is not of type SectorsVO. You need to modify the constructor to accept an Object and manually assign values to the properties.
It sounds like you are trying to build a CSV string out of all of the values of one of the fields. What you can do is loop through the draggedSectors and pull out the desired property, placing it into a temporary Array. After the loop, simply use Array.join(",") to produce a CSV string.

I don't understand why you need load the XML and XLS files into a String. A Transformer can be constructed from a Source and there is a StreamSouce which can be constructed from an InputStream. The transform() method can take a Source as input and can produce a Result. There is no need to go near a String representation of either the input.

How to convert ascii codes into Strings

Hi you can use this BAPI for converison to internal format.
1. BAPI_CURRENCY_CONV_TO_INTERNAL
For this bapi you need to pass the currrency into which you want to convert like USD, JPY and the amount.
2. To convert data to internal you can use this FM CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL

Converting Pdf page into word without distortion

I am trying to copy a single page from a pdf file into a word document. How do I do this without getting a lot of distortion. The small numbers are hard to read when I do this. If I just print the page I can see the numbers clearly.
Thank you

PDF = Portable Document Format
This is a special END RESULT format that is designed to be read/viewed on any computer that has Acrobat or Reader
Think of a PDF as a cake... it contains flavoring + flour + water + eggs
Once mixed/baked, you are not able to go back to the original components... you have a cake
A PDF is "somewhat" easier to go back to components... but not always by very much
Going from PDF to any editable format is a bit of a "hit and miss" proposition... and does not always work very well

Convert varchar2 field into date formatted: DD-MON-YYYY

Thanks in advance for anyone's help on this matter as I know it takes your time and expertise. I am pretty new to SQL but learning my way through it just have an issue with a text to date field conversion. It is an Oracle 10g database and I am writing in SQL. There is a field called Demand which is formatted in varchar2 format of ddmmyy. There is also a field that is formatted as a date called Payment which is formatted as DD-MON-YYYY.
Essentially I need to do a simple Payment >= Demand, however as you can see that is some issue with that being a varchar2 field. Does anyone know if it is possible to do that type of expression against those two fields. Was thinking about possibly converting the varchar2 to a date but not sure how to get to that DD-MON-YYYY format.
Also there are situations where this Demand field will often times be null as it would have never recieved any outbound correspondence in the past and would not have a date at all.
Thanks

Hi,
It's hard to detect bad dates in pure SQL, especially if you need to be precise about when February 29 is valid.
It's easy with a user-define function, like the one in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3669932&#3669932].

How to convert number field into time

Hi
I have made a form for storing of private dialed calls from different extensions. To store call duration i have assigned a number field which is storing following type of data
1.34
1.19
37.29
1.47
In above mentioned data decimals are seconds and left side is minutes.
Now the requirement is that if second is > 30 then 1 minute should be added in minutes else 30 seconds should appear instead of original seconds.
Please Help!

>

In above mentioned data decimals are seconds and left side is minutes.
>
Please provide info about the form in which you RECEIVE the data. Do you receive the data in MM.SS format like you say you are storing it?
If not, why are you storing it this way?
Unless you have some reason to STORE the data differently just store it the way you got it. That way you won't lose any precision and you can manipulate it any way you need to for display purposes.
If you receive START_TIME and END_TIME then store both of those. Don't calculate and store duration; you will lose END_TIME and if you later need to calculate duration to a different precision you won't be able to.
Where is the data being stored? Oracle?
Write a simple function to convert a duration to minutes and seconds using the '>30' rule you have. Then if the rule changes you can write a new function or modify the existing one and the data itself doesn't have to change.

How to convert row data into columns without using pivot table?

Hello guys
I have a report that has several columns about sales call type and call counts
It looks like this:
Calls Type Call Counts
Missed 200
Handled 3000000
Rejected 40000
Dropped 50000
Now I wanna create a report that look like this:
Missed call counts Handled Call counts Rejected Counts Drop counts Other Columns
200 300000000 40000 50000 Data
So that I can perform other calculations on the difference and comparison of handled calls counts vs other call counts..
I know pivot table view can make the report look like in such way, but they cant do further calculations on that..
So I need to create new solid columns that capture call counts based on call types..
How would I be able to do that on Answers? I don't have access to the RPD, so is it possible to do it sololy on answers? Or should I just ask ETL support on this?
Any pointers will be deeply appreciated!
Thank you

Thanks MMA
I followed your guidance and I was able to create a few new columns of call missed count, call handled counts and call abandoned counts.. Then I create new columns of ave missed counts, ave handled counts and so forth..
Then I went to the pivot view, I realized there is a small problem.. Basically the report still includes the column "call types" which has 3 different types of call "miss, abandon and handled". When I exclude this column in my report, the rest of the measures will return wrong values. When I include this column in the report, it shows duplicate values by 3 rows. It looks like this:
Queue name Call types Call handled Call missed Call abondoned
A Miss 8 10 15
A Handled 8 10 15
A Abandoned 8 10 15
in pivot table view, if I move call type to column area, the resulted measures will become 8X3, 10X3 and 15X3
So is there a way to eliminate duplicate rows or let the system know not to mulitply by 3?
Or is this as far as presentation service can go in terms of this? Or should I advice to provide better data from the back end?
Please let me know, thanks
