Data display in numeric field

Is there anyway to center or right align the entered data in a numeric field?
TIA
JZach

Select the Numeric Field, open the Paragraph dialog (if it's not already shown in UI select it under the Window menu) then select center or right align.

  • How to set a numeric field to the difference of two dates?

    hi,
    I need to create a table with a field containing a date (by def. current date) and another numeric field whose value is to be set to the difference (in days) between the current date and the date field. Something like this.
    CREATE TABLE Tabdate
    (fdate date default sysdate,
    difference number default (sysdate-fdate))
    I get this error:
    column not allowed here
    How can I do? please help me
    thanks
    Antonio

    You cannot set field values as defaults. Create a pre-insert/update-trigger instead.

  • Numeric Field in Adobe Form

    Hi,
    I'm trying to display a numeric field in an Adobe Form. The issue is that the decimal part of the the field  is getting truncated when I view the Adobe Form in Print Preview.
    The numeric field is of the form -6,213.19. In the form the value appears as -6,213.1 . I'm not able to understand why this value is getting truncated. I've tried all the numeric and decimal patters available but with no luck.
    Could you please help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,
    Sandeep.

    Hi
           You dont specify any patterns. You just simply drag and drop the Numeric field on the layout and then right click on the field
    go to Pallets -> Object -> Value tab -> here you specify your value  -6,213.19.->In Binding tab -> Data format as Float. and then check the priview in PDF its printing the same as -6,213.19.
    Try this once. It will work i checked it . Its working
    Thanks

  • Making Numeric field blank

    Hi Experts ,
    i have a requirement to make the numeric field "blank" in some rows of internal table .
    its about vendor
    whenever any vendor will repeat , i need to display  3 numeric fields "blank" , in that particular row .
    please help me on this issue .
    thanks in advance .
    vijeta

    Hi,
    One very important thing we cannot make numeric field as blank is can be made initial i.e. 0.
    So we have to make the field as character then we can make it blank by initializing it.
    thanx.

  • How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

    How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

    You have to use custom JavScripting to concatenate the first 2 fields. You cannot use the first 2 calculation options because they force the values of the fields to a numeric value or ignore string values.
    Possible scripts for the 3rd field are:
    event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
    or
    event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString.concat( " ",  this.getField("Text2").valueAsString);
    If you do not want change the separator or not show the separator when on or the other field is empty, you will need to add more code to adjust for change.
    The above scripts will also concatenate number because the field values are read as strings and not numbers.
    There is also a generalized user written function to concatenate up to 3 fields with a separator that adjust for missing data.

  • Displaying no default zeroes for the numeric field in the table display.

    hi folks,
         I am binding a table in the context which has some numeric fields. I'm  displaying the same table which has some records for editing purpose. But the problem is that the numeric  field column is being displayed with zeros if it doesnot have any value in it. Can u explain how to disable the zeroes by not displaying them by defualt when there is no value for the numeric field.
    regards,

  • Display pattern of numeric field in adobe reader ver 8 and 9.

    I have added a text field to my form and have set the following properties:
    Type: Numeric field
    Limit length to visible area: checked (so that it accepts upto 9 digits)
    display pattern: zzz9
    data pattern: zzz9
    data format: Integer
    When I type "123456789" in the field, adobe reader version 7 and 9 are adding commas to the number and are displaying it as "123,456,789" while adobe reader 8 displays it the way i want "123456789"
    Appreciate if someone can quickly provide some guidance here.

    The issue is that the pattern that you are applying from the field cannot be applied to your input so the default pattern for numeric fields is being applied (hence the 123,456,789). If you make sure that your numeric field is set for integer (Binding tab/Data Format). Then set the display pattern to num{zzzzzzzz9}. It will work.
    The default pattern is held in the XDP template. It is created based on your locale. If you click on the XML Source tab (between Preview and Master Pages - if it is not visible then you can make it visible on the View/XML Source menu)then do a serach ctrl-F for numberPattern you will see where it is defined in the template. If you modify this one then it will only be applied for this form. Any new forms will revert back to the old pattern.

  • Numeric Field Display

    I think I've run into a bug with Designer. Can anyone confirm this? Or have I overlooked something?
    Situation:
    I have 5 numeric fields* in my form that use simple FormCalc calculations. All of them have the Object Field Display Pattern set as $z,zz9.99.
    All calculations work perfectly. However, when I was testing the form I discovered something quite odd. The display is perfect until the dollar amount exceeds $9,999.99. Once over this amount the format disappears leaving just the correct result (e.g. What should be $12,345.67 is displaying as 1234567.). I tried editing the display pattern to $zzz,zzz,zz9.99 but this did not work.
    Is there a JavaScript that will give me the formatting and calculations I need? Or do I need switch something else on in Designer? Thanks.
    * Calculations used:
    1) sum(BlackInkCost, ColourInkCost)
    2) sum(WhitePaperCost, ColourPaperCost, CardStockCost, TabCost, TransparencyCost)
    3) sum(CerloxCost, SpiralCost)
    4) sum(ImpressionsSubTotal, PaperSubTotal, BinderySubTotal)
    5) (CostSubtotal * NoDocumentsReqd)

    This would be the expected behaviour in the case of data entered into fields which do not match the pattern. This is not a bug, since you applied a pattern to display a certain number of characters and you entered something different, the pattern will fail and the form processor will leave the display as it is.
    As for increasing the number of characters in the pattern, it should work. Make sure you dont have a conflict between the edit, display and binding patterns. If they are different, you may get unexpected results.
    Also, if you do have a small pattern and can enter large numbers, then you should really apply some script to make sure your value is within legal limits. The rawValue of the field will always give you the pre-display pattern value.

  • Large numeric field in a .csv file will not display

    A .csv file contains a numeric field which in some rows contains an 11-digit number (like 14024583126).  These will not display (blank or null).  Some of the rows contain numbers of 5-digits or 7-digits and these display fine.  How can I get the 11-digit numbers to display correctly?
    I have no capability to change the .csv file to make this field type as string.  Would there be a way to convert the numeric field to string?

    Thank you for the formula.  However, the string field displays just like the numeric field did.  If the numeric value in the row is a 5-digit or 7-digit number it converts to text and displays fine.  But if the numeric value in the field is an 11-digit number nothing is displayed after conversion to text.  The numeric field must have some limit on what the size can be.  How can we get around that limitation?
    FYI - the data I'm trying to process is a dump of monthly Call Detail Records from Cisco's Unified Communications Manager.  The 11-digit number is a Long Distance Number like 14021234567 (ex., 1-402-123-4567).  The 5-digit numbers are VoIP extension numbers while the 7-digit numbers are local calling numbers.

  • Cannot update table data based on values of numeric fields

    I have a button on a form with two numeric fields: P11_numeric1 and P11_numeric2.
    I want to be able to either run a stored procedure or execute the update logic. We're on apex 4.0.
    I tried the follow syntax in a process run by a button:
    begin
    schema.procname(:P11_numeric1,:P11_numeric2);
    end;
    And nothing happened.
    If I try to run the proc in toad with hard coded parameter values, the proc works.
    I tried this:
    begin
    update schema.tablename
    set value=:P11_numeric1
    where id=:P11_numeric2;
    commit;
    end;
    And this doesn't work.
    I tried:
    begin
    update schema.tablename
    set value=1
    where id=2;
    commit;
    end;
    And that worked, so I assume the issue is with getting the numeric field values. Am I using incorrect syntax?

    I'm on apex 4.0.2 btw. I had two main problems: 1) the process that my procedure was in was in a sequence number lower than the MRU process sequence number. I didn't want to use the MRU so I changed it to being called by ajax calls only (which I don't have on the page, effectively not firing this process on page submit). Changing the sequence number of the process call to the procedure higher then allowed me to run the stored procedure.
    The next problem was that the fields weren't being passed into the proc.
    It looks like the type of the field made a bit of a difference to sending in the parameter for the procedure. The data is either integer or numeric and if the fields were set to a text field, and the proc was changed to accept varchar2 data and convert using to_number in the proc that the data was accepted and was fine. For the integer fields, I was able to (and wanted to) change the field type to display only as this is a read only screen with an button to save the data. For the numeric fields, for some reason the display field type did not allow the field value to be passed to the stored proc.
    I'll take a look at the session values not getting set but has anyone heard of that happening to display only fields with numeric data specifically?

  • Want the data store values to be displayed in input field of form

    Hi,
    I wanted to know wether is there possibility of displaying the data in a input field instead of expression field.
    In our model i have used a form which has material type,plant and Vendor connected to data service1 in turn gives the out put in chart and i also have the second input form which has To(0CALMONTH) combo box which is connected to Data service2 and gives the data in table.
    But what i wanted is to i also want to use the input fields of first form to second Data service2 and get the data based on on inputs of form1 and form2i.e also To field.
    We can connect the port from form1 to DS2 but problem is we need to click the submit of form1 and form2 and it doesnt gives the output according the input of form1 and form2 as it gives the output of that form when we click that submit button.
    I have followed help.sap for data tore procdure.
    So i have used a datstore where i will store the values of form1 and call it in expression field which i will add and hide it in form2(hide because user should not see that input fields).
    Formula used in data store for expression field.
    IF(CONTAINS(STORE@matltype,@Material_Type),STORE@matltype,STORE@matltype &(IF(LEN(STORE@matltype)>0,'; ',''))&@Material_Type)
    But whats happening is the value is getting concatenated when i goon change the values in input field, so i wanted to get the values to be replaced as soon as i change input field of form1(if  use replace function its not working) and also it would be more preferrable if we use input field instead of expression field.
    I would also like to know is there any alternate solution for the above requirement instead of datastore.
    Thank You

    Hi,
          I have Form1 connected to Data service1 displays the data in a Chart and i have another Form2 connected to Dataservice2 displays the data in table.
    In form1 there are Material Type,plant, and Vendor and form2 i have To (0CALMONTH)SO now i want also Form1 inputs for Table which gets teh data from Dataservice2.
    What i have said earlier is connecting Form1 to Dataservice doesnt fetch the data correectly,its because if i click submit in form1 i get the data of those 3 inputs and i need to click the submit button in form2 after giving input which shows the data accordingly where it doesnt fulfill the requirement.
    So i wanted some solution for that.For that reason i have used the data store and the procedure i have followed the help.sap as i said in my above mesage.
    If Data store is also suggestable than i want to display the data in Text input Field  instead of Expression field which should replace the previous values as soon as values change in data store.
    Hope i have tried to be clear if still it is not i am ready to explain again.
    Thank You

  • How to fetch the data & display the data if fields got the same name in alv

    hi frnds, i need ur help.
    how to fetch the data & display the data if fields got the same name in alv grid format.
    thanks in advance,

    Refer the url :
    http://abapexpert.blogspot.com/2007/07/sap-list-viewer-alv.html
    Go thru the guide for OOPs based ALV.
    Use SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY to display the table:
    CALL METHOD grid->set_table_for_first_display
     EXPORTING
    I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT'     “Structure data
    CHANGING
    IT_OUTTAB = gt_sflight.          “ Output table
    You can also implement
    Full Screen ALV, its quite easy. Just pass the output table to FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. 
    For controlling and implementing the FS-ALV we have to concentrate on few of the components as follows :
    1. Selection of data.
    2. Prepare Layout of display list.
    3. Event handling.
    4. Export all the prepared data to REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.

  • Extra zeros in numeric fields when I create spreadsheet from data files

    I created a form with Live Cycle, and then in Adobe I use the option "create a spread sheet from data files" to import the answers to a xls file.
    I have two problems with this action: the first one is that I get 8 extra zeros in each numeric field, the second one is that fields are ordered by type and not by appearance.
    I tried a different approach importing directly in Excel, in that way there are no extra zeros and the order is correct, but I get just one form each time, and in a "stairways" fashion (i. e. first field in A1, second in B2, and so on)
    I'd appreciate any help

    Where do you find the command "create a spread sheet from data files"?
    Anyway i have a similar problem: when i export data in a .csv file and than i import it in excel, i always get 8 extra zeros... how can i solve the problem?

  • MS Excel automatically converts numeric fields to date format

    I have at least 2 different spreadsheets where this happens.  I maintain them for months, adding, changing, deleting data.  They contain lots of data elements (numeric, text, date, etc).   Some columns are all numeric, some all dates,
    etc.  Then suddenly when I open the spreadsheet, my numeric formatted data has been converted to date format.  I see lots of # signs in cells, which is an indication that this happened, and selecting an affected cell shows a date, generally in the
    early 1900s, depending on the original numeric value that was in the cell.  I convert the fields back to numeric, but sometime later the same problem occurs -- numeric fields are now date formatted.  I cannot identfy any specific change that I make
    that would cause this.  And I only recognize it as having occurred when I open the spreadsheet, not anytime during its maintenance.  I am using MS Excel 2007 SP2 in a Windows XP SP3 environment.  The machine is well maintained and updated /
    kept current by our corporate IT group.  I have done numerous Internet searches and cannot find anything like this in any other blog.  Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Were some of the these data imported from a .csv file? As far as I know, data formats cannot be saved in .csv file. If this is the situation, try this:
    Save a copy of your .csv file changing the extension of your file from .csv to .txt
    open excel.
    go to DATA --> Import external data --> Import data --> browse to find the .txt file you made earlier
    The text import wizard should open.
    Click on delimited, click next
    click comma, click next
    You should now see all columns appear with heading GENERAL --> highlight the columns with the values that are changing to date and click TEXT (top right) instead. The heading of these columns should now change to TEXT.
    click finish
    Excel will now treat the column as text when it imports the data and will not change them to dates
    If this is not the situation, this issue might be caused by some add-ins.
    Start Excel in safe mode:  Press and hold the
    CTRL key, and then click the Excel program to start. Then, click File > Open to open the Excel file.
    If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Office program, we can try to disable them.
