Currency and Number Formats

Hi Guys
Is anybody aware of an equivalent of ISO 8601 that deals with Currency and Number formats?
Thanks

Thanks John
My original question was a little ambiguous. What I'm really asking is whether, as with 8601, there is an agreed standard way of expressing numbers, (including currency). For instance, is there an 'approved' sign for indicating the start of the decimal portion, ('.' or ',')?
The application already makes use of the various formatting utilities and ResourceBundles but I've been asked to investigate if there is an ISO specification that we should default to, (rather than just UK English). As I'm sure anybody who has used their site will appreciate, it is not overly simple to establish the existence and contents of a standard ;->
Thanks in advance
J

A question about date and number formats

Hi,
I have to change date and number formats from USA to UK format. Is the only place I must do that in user settings (SU01) ? I mean, is this enough or are there any other customizing settings, in FI for example ?
Thanks in advance,
Paulo

I tested very much and the only place we should set it is on user settings

Applying date and number format mask

I have specified a date format for an attribute and a number format for another attribute of an entity object using Entity Object Editor - Control hints for the attributes.
The date format is:
Format type: Simple Date
Format: dd.MM.yyyy
The number format is:
Format type: Currency
Format: 0,000.00 km
When using <c:out value="${bindings.MyDate}"></c:out> the format mask for the date is applied and it looks good, but when using
<c:forEach var="Row" items="...">
<c:out value="${Row.MyDate}"></c:out>
</c:forEach>
the format mask is not applied.
When it comes to the number format it is not applied no matter what I use.
I have tried setting the format for the view object attributes as well but the result is the same. How do I make this work?

Can it have something to do with <html:form> ? Since it works using <c:out value="${bindings.MyDate}"></c:out> inside a html:form.

Date and Number formatting

Hi All
I am getting data from RFC and able to bind it into table. Now I want to format date and numbers into user logged in format. i.e. If user enters country as Germany while registration,date format should be European in table displayed otherwise it should be US format.
Can any one suggest me how to do it?

Thanks for your your Help Abhilash. I slightly changed code and now its working. I think this is almost same thing that you discussed.You can see code below.
Can you help in working with Number format also? I am getting number format exception. String returned when RFC executed is in 10,000,00. I need to change according to user locale format. I tried doing it in java also. When I remove commas in above string its working fine.
public java.lang.String DisplayingDateFormat( java.lang.String date )
    //@@begin DisplayingDateFormat()
                    // Current date Format in BW
                         SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM.dd.yyyy");
                         String ChangedDateFormat=null;
try{
//     sdf.setLenient(false);
//Parsing String to Date
     Date sqlDate =sdf.parse(date);
//     wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" Source date"+ ele.getSched_Date());
//     wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" Date converted "+sqlDate);
//       Getting User Locale
//Getting Locale Information form Current Session
     Locale userLocale= WDResourceHandler.getCurrentSessionLocale();
     //wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" User Current Locale "+userLocale );
//Setting date format ie Short,default etc
     DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, userLocale);
     //wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" Formatting to user locale ");
     //Converting Date to String
     String newDateString = dateFormat.format(sqlDate);
     //wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" Changed Date Format "+newDateString);
     //binding to Table UI element
     ChangedDateFormat=newDateString;
catch(Exception e)
     wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager()
                         .reportException(
                         e.toString(),
                         false);

Date format and number format- need help

Hi everyone,
I'm working with JDeveloper10.1.2, struts and uix pages.
I have 2 problems:
1 - I have a field of type date in my uix page and the format is like this='24-Jun-2006', but I need to change this format to be '2006/06/24'.
2 - I have an attribute of type number(salary) and when I drag and drop this attribute from the DataControl Pallete and run the project, in the uix page I see a number, for example: salary = '123456', but I should see salary = '123.456,00'.
And when I write, for example '123.456,00', when I commit this value, I should see in my DataBase something like this '123456,00'.
I alredy tried to change the attribute properties in the Entity Object but without success. :(
Can anyone help me with this problems?
Thanks,
Atena

nd when I write, for example '123.456,00', when I
commit this value, I should see in my DataBase
something like this '123456,00'.Sorry I replied before thinking about the problem. You will not see the value in the db as such, the db will show the values differently depending on the session settings.
The values will only show up as such in the form. To see them such in the db do:
alter session set nls_date_format='yyyy.mm.dd'
for the date and
alter session set nld_number_format='0.00'
for the number

Delimiteddata and number format mask

Hi,
I need to export data from my report to a csv format in reports 6i.
I installed patch 12 so I can use the delimiteddata format.
This works but I do have problems with the number format.
I formatted all of the number fields so they appear as desired in the report when running in C/S mode.
I learned that you can use the number format, date format and cell wrapper variables for delimited and delimiteddata formats.
These parameters do work with delimited output but they don't when generating delimiteddata.
Only when I start the reports builder with numberformatmask=something on the command line then the number format given on the command line will be used. but then you cannot change it (even not in the dialog when generating a delimited format) anymore once reports builder is open.
Is there a solution for this problem or is it fixed in a later patch (I haven't seen anything new in then patch 13 notes).
Piet

Hi Pieter,
This does looks like a Bug. Please contact Oracle Support to assist you in getting the right patch or otherwise.

Date and Number format

Two questions:
I want to enter "3/24" (without the quotes) but Numbers shows "March 24, 2009". I really want it to show 3/21. How do I do this?
Second, to show a number as "Currency" Help says to select the cell then choose "Currency" from the Format Bar. "Currency" doesn't show up in the Format Bar.
Thanks for your help.

pee,
First question. Format your cell as Text before entering the data.
Second question. The Currency symbol in the Format Bar is a "$", without the quotes. The word is spelled out in the Cells Inspector Cell Format drop-down list, the other place where you can set the format.
Regards,
Jerry

TextField (for Input) which supports alignment and number format - AJAX?

Dear forum members,
I have a tabular form containing a lot of number fileds shown as TextFileds, where Users may input large numbers.
Is there any way to let the numbers inside the TextFileds be shown right aligned.
And maybe using a number format, which the user isn't bound to follow (just for display)?
Thank you
Johann

Hello Johann,
In the Column Attributes set the Element Attribute (in the Tabular Form Element) to style="text-align:right" for right alignment.
You can use the Number / Date Format (in the Column Formatting) to 999G999D99 (or whatever you like) to get a number format.

Roel

Date Format and Number Format

Hello,
Is there any possibility to change the date or number in HANA? Is it possible for a user to see amounts in the data preview as e.g. 12.000,50 vs. 12,000.50 ?
What about a similar question concerning the date format?
Thanks,
Ingo

Hi Ingo
the date/number format completely depends on the client you are using to display the data.
In SAP HANA studio, you can switch on/off output formatting :
However, this will use the local locale formatting preferences.
For more control on the formatting a proper reporting tool is required.

Break formatting and number format of SUM value

Where can I put number formatting functio, which will format breaking sum values...like:
to_char(#SUM_VALUE#,'fmt 999G999G999G990')....maybe this thread is somewhere posted, but I cannot find it.
Next, how to exclude showing reports total at the end of report?
Is there any working demo to see some hints...
THX!

Hello Damir,
"Maybe a hint for feature releases to have an option to disable total report sum on column …"There is a relative simple workaround, which will allow you exclude or highlight (style) this total report sum line, as you can see in here - http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=22710:10
In the Report Attribute page, I'm using the Break Formatting section first field "Display this text when printing report sums" - http://i10.tinypic.com/4ie8ck5.png .
If you want to exclude this line, you should use the same color as your cell background. For the example page, the code is looking like this:
<div id="FinalSum"><script type="text/javascript">var lastRow=html_CascadeUpTill('FinalSum','TR'); lastRow.style.color='#f7f7e7';</script></div>If, on the other hand, you want to highlight the line, or use any other CSS attribute style available, the code would look something like this:
<div id="FinalSum1"><script type="text/javascript">var lastRow=html_CascadeUpTill('FinalSum1','TR'); lastRow.style.backgroundColor='#CCCC99';</script>Total Report Sum</div> Regards,
Arie.

Custom Date and Number Formats

Is there a way in disco admin to set the date format based on values from the database?
For example, we have a function that we use in Oracle Reports (p_indicator passed in):
CASE p_indicator WHEN '1'
THEN v_format := 'MM/DD/YYYY'; -- US Date format
ELSE v_format := 'DD-Mon-YYYY'; -- Foreign Date format
END CASE;
return v_format;
In the Oracle Report field Format Trigger we use (iss_date_field_display is the database field indicator from the report SQL):
SRW.SET_FORMAT_MASK(format_mask(:iss_date_field_display));
So, any way to dynamically change the format mask for date and/or number fields in Discoverer based on data in the schema and/or a function?
Thanks!

Thank you,
What would be the best way to call this function in a workbook?
i created a function in the schema, and tied it to a calculation in the workbook, but the dbms lines fail. if i comment them out, i get a return, otherwise, the return is not getting set. here is the work...
BEGIN
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_currency', '''£''');
CASE p_indicator WHEN '1'
THEN
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format', '''MM/DD/YYYY'''); -- US Date format
v_format := 'MM/DD/YYYY';
ELSE
dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format', '''DD-Mon-YYYY'''); -- Foreign Date format
v_format := 'DD-Mon-YYYY';
END CASE;
RETURN v_format;

Date and number format with JDEV 10 g

Are there some known bugs in JDEV 10g regarding dates and currency format? I am using bc4j, struts and jsp. I have tried setting the format on the entity and view objects but it works sometimes and sometimes not.

More info please.

Date and number representation...

Hi all,
There is something I don't understand in my application, or maybe in Web Dynpro concept...
We have the following configuration:
- users authenticates on my application by using their SAP username / password
- authentification is done in UME by retrieving data from R3 (so, no users are defined in UME)
What I don't understand is why date and number formats are not the ones configured in R3.
For example, when running transaction su01, I can see my user is having the following formats:
- jj.mm.aaaa
- 1,234,567.89
However, when running my application, I have the following formats:
- mm/jj/aaaa
- 1,234,567.89
Do anyone know why ? What can I do to have my web dynpro retrieving the correct format ?
Thanks

Hello,
Quote from UME documentation (http://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/60_sp2_javadocs/ume/com/sap/security/api/IUser.html#getLocale())
<i>Gets the user's Locale; this determines e.g. the language in which text is displayed to the user's and the style that numbers are formated.</i>
So, we can guess that data specified for formats in su01 doesn`t replicated to WAS`s UME and locale is used to determine formats instead.

How to use custom label formats to display currency and percentage

Hi There,
I need a pie chart to display both currency and percentage. I have the cell format editor open for custom cell formats (from the pie chart label format menu) but am not sure how to write the expression.
I've tried something like this but get an error:
$ #,### - % #,###
How can I display both currency and percentage for the same label?
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

labels built into Keynote can be displayed as percentage or value, not both
The choice is made in: Inspector > chart > series > data point settings
the work around is to manually add text boxes with the currancy value entered in each box, as in $2.00

Date and number display format

Hello all,
I am new to Adobe Form, and I am quite unimpressed with how difficult it is to do the most simple things.
I have managed one way or another to solve all my problems until now, but this one got me stuck.
I have date and number fields in my form, and here is what I want to do but cannot:
- I need these fields to be displayed using the defaults date and number settings of the SAP user who is generating the form. This one is really hard for me to figure out.
- I need some other fields to be displayed in a specific format depending on a variable in the context of my form. I imagine this could be done using scripting, but how to change the display format of a field via scripting?
Anyone has an idea of how that can be achieved?
Thank you.

Hi Thomas,
For these kind of issues you will get many answers if you search the forum.
If your requirement is to display the current date in the form, just drag and drop the "Current date" UI element from the Library palette -> Custom.
If it is to get the date from SAP and display, pass date to the context node and just drag and drop the field into the form from the data view.
Check the following wiki by Chintan. It explains some common scenarios in javascript.
[JavaScript Part 1|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/JavaScriptforCommonScenarios-PartI]
[JavaScript Part 2|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/JavaScriptforCommonScenarios-PartII]
Use an 'if' condition, check the value and based on the value you can make the field hide/visible in the form.
Hope this will help.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanoosh
