Try with CAST() and CONVERT() functions. For more information refer use this url : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187928.aspx.
It is more easy to get solution if you can post your query.

Can I use Visual Basic to covert form user data from multiple .pdf files to a single .csv file?

Can I use Visual Basic to covert form user data from multiple .pdf files to a single .csv file? If so, how?

You can automate Acrobat using IAC (InterApplication Communications), as documented in the Acrobat SDK. Your program could loop through a collection of PDFs, load them in Acrobat, extract the form data from each, and generate a CSV file that contains the data.
Acrobat can also do this with its "Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet" function, but this is a manual process.

Any help will be appreciate.

Play with
select substr('[19/Nov/2007:18:39:53 +0100]',2,20) the_date
from dualand if you get 19/Nov/2007:18:39:53 proceed to
select to_date('19/Nov/2007:18:39:53','DD/MON/YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')
from dual
select to_date('19/Nov/2007:18:39:53','DD/Mon/YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')
from dual
select to_date('19/Nov/2007 18:39:53','DD/MON/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
from dual
select to_date('19/Nov/2007 18:39:53','DD/Mon/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
from dualperhaps one of those will work (if it's the one without : then you must replace it with space using substr and || before using to_date)

How to Converting Char to Date?

Hi
while i converting the char to date i am getting the below error, can some tell me how to resolve the issue.
Datetime value 01/01/2011 from 01/01/2011 does not match the specified format. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, CAST(CONCAT('01/01/',cast(year(current_date)as char)) as DATE) s_1 FROM ''example reports"

Can you check whats your default date format. Just run the report with Current_date and look at whats the format. Ensure you dont override the default date format by going into column properties.
Try applying the same format when you use the cast as date function.
Also, you can refer to this link. http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/cast_as_date_

Can we move char type data to packed decimal

Hi
can we move char type data to packed decimal??
Thanks
Devi

Hi..
that depends on the data in the character variable..
if that character variable contains onli numbers then it is possible.
data c type c value '1'.
data p type p.
p = c.
write p.
here the output is 1.
If it contains even a single Alphabet , then it goes for a dump.
data c type c value 'A'.
data p type p.
p = c.
write p.
here u will get a short dump.
hope u understood.

Char to Date conversion problem - again!

Hi,
in order to make date selection 'more attractive' for end users I have been tasked with presenting a text field with 'January 2010', 'February 2010' etc to the end users for their prompts.
So far so easy...
However, I then need to use the values to derive either dates, or years, or date numbers.
This all works fine during development when I am testing using a default parameter thus; -
'@{MYMONTHYEAR}{September 2010}' - which is fed into various very complex functions.
BUT - when I try to use the report in conjunction with the parameter I get; -
'The evaluation of the index 6 expression on row count -1 failed. [nQSError: 46046] Datetime value 2010/09/01 does not match the specifiied format'
However, cast('2010/09/01' as date) works fine... and convoluted as the logic of my functions is, the fundamental char to date conversion is exactly in this format.
Anyone shed any light on this, give me a guaranteed way to handle char to date conversion?
thanks,
Robert.

Hi,
I tried your workaround case when 1=2... but I still get the same error....
Not when I have the format from my default value, but when I get the value from a dashboard prompt in a page.

It does not error, but returns no data in isolation, but when when from the prompt it errors...
And the date format, if fed into a cast ('2012/09/01' as date) does not error.
Anyone help - this is really driving me mad, syntax is good - it should work!!!
thanks,

Handle null value in char infoobject -data type DATE(ora-01722 invalid num)

Hi,
We have a DSO with a info object in the Data fields. The char info object has the data type DATE and most often it has the null value. but some times it has data in it.
When ever we were trying to run a report on the DSO it throws a error as ORA- 01722 INVALID NUMBER.
we tried editing PSA data and placing 00000000 for null values - and had a message invalid date.
suggestions pls
Regards.

Hello,
Please check the note given below
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1327167.
If null value is the problem, change the query setting for not to show the null values. Just add a filter in ZDAT to exclude "NULL"

mohan

Hello,
I think u can achieve this at query level.
You can try variable with replacement path . In your scenario you will have to have 2 variables one for ex. 0SHIPDATE and another one for ex. 0GIDATE .
After that create formula ( Number of days ) of subtraction on this two variables .
Gimme ur mail-id , i will forward a doc on this if u want...

Re:checking masterdata char in data dictionary

Morning gurus
if we want to check the contents of a particular table we will enter the table name in se16 to view the contents

I want to add 15000 chars long data in oracle database. how to do that?

My requirement is to add the contents of the file into Oracle database. The files are about 15kb long and I am using the LONGVARCHAR datatype. I am getting error in inserting the contents of the file. The file length is about 15000 chars. Any ideas how do I do that?

Why do you want to? Sounds like a bad idea.
Why not store a reference to the file and keep the file itself on a disk outside the database?
Can't do very meaningful searches on a 15,000 char data value. How would you write a WHERE clause for that?
Don't do it.

Quantity field fro char or date data type

Hi,
I am using DELVRY03 idoc type and some of the quantity fields are empty not being used, is it a good idea if I can use these quantity fields for Char type or datetype data.
Regards
Rinku

Hi Rinku..
Your question is not that clear.
Let me give you some ideas.
1. All Segment fields are store in CHAR Format in Database in EDID4-SDATA field
2. If you want to add new fields it is better to Create a New Segment in WE31 And Create an Extended IDoc type in WE30.
3. It is not advisable to use the existing fields for storing some other data.
