Error while downloading report into CSV or EXCEL

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem while downloading data in excel or CSV format. I have created a report that is nothing but output of direct database request. The report is running fine and able to download data but since yesterday it is throwing error: -
[nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 1455, message: ORA-01455: converting column overflows integer datatype at OCI call OCIStmtFetch.
[nQSError: 17012] Bulk fetch failed.
Sometimes it starts download and after fetching some data it throws this error. The report is bulky and generally it brings around 40 k rows.
Can anybody faces this error or have any idea about this. Please give some suggestion as I have searched it but not reached to any conclusion. Thanks in advance.
Thanks

Hi Thomas,
Following is the logic implemented in RFC which is giving XSTRING as export parameter
STEP1      create a dynamic internal table

               CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
                    EXPORTING
                       it_fieldcatalog = it_fieldcat
                     IMPORTING
                       ep_table        = dyn_table.

SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below "Invalid date format" while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

We migrated Packages from SSIS 2008 to 2012. The Package is working fine in all the environments except in one of our environment.
SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below error while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

the specified type.".
End Error
But when we reorder the column in "Updated" in Destination table, the package is importing data successfully.
This looks like bug to me, Any suggestion?

Hi Mohideen,
Based on my research, the issue might be related to one of the following factors:
Memory pressure. Check there is a memory challenge when the issue occurs. In addition, if the package runs in 32-bit runtime on the specific server, use the 64-bit runtime instead.
A known issue with SQL Native Client. As a workaround, use .NET data provider instead of SNAC.
Hope this helps.

Problem with data format while getting data from BI

Hi,
I am trying to build a universe for the development of Web I reports, the data source on which I am trying to build the universe is from BI.
There is date field in the data, which is loaded in to BI as a date, but while I am building the universe over the cube I am getting it as a character.
When I am trying to use that field in the Web I reports, I have a problem sorting the date column.

hi ,
when you run the webi report , click change query and in that go to yourt field properties and then chage its settings to date.
I think I have done this of similar kind lontg back. But there is this property somewhere where we can change the type of the varaible and then you can see the expected resutls.
Thanks ,

How to convert date format(mm/dd/yy) into dd-mm-yy

I want to convert date format(mm/dd/yy) into dd-mm-yy
like 12/23/06 into 23-sep-06

hey, you can use SimpleDateFormat to format your date. this is sample code, maybe could help you.
class dateFormat
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Date now = new Date();
          System.out.println("Before format : "+now);
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat( "dd-MM-yy" );//Change your date format in here.
          String display = sdf.format(now);
          System.out.println("After format : "+display);
}If you already understand about my sample code, i think it's easy to make your own date format. Just modified few line of my code.

Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field?

Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field? I can't seem to change it from the short date format.

Hi,
I would suggest you to change the form language to English (UK), Here are the steps:-
1. Open your form in FormsCentral
2. Clik on Options tab
3. Click on Language and Formatting and check out the selection for Form Language and make sure English (U.K.) is selected and the default date format should be day/month/year.

How do I copy image from web and paste into Open Office Document

Whenever I choose Copy Image from Safari and then paste into open office, I only get the image url and not the image. I am sure that I am not selecting Copy Image Address.
When I copy images from my iTunes album artwork and paste into open office it works fine.
Any thoughts?

I have done the same thing using Firefox and it works just fine. It seems to be an issue with Safari.

Scan Lines when inserted into Open Office Doc.

When I insert a picture into Open Office I see pronounced scan lines, even though the picture is only 3x5 inches on a 27 inch screen. If I view same image full screen in photoshop or with Bridge I do not see the scan lines. Have to enlarge photo considerably to see them.
I uploaded the picture to this note and no scan lines were visible. I deleted it as it shows nothing.
So question is does anyone know if Open Office does something to the picture when inserted?

The pixelate filter stills leaves some of the lines, so you might try some gaussian blur (just enough to get rid of the lines) and then some smart sharpen set to gaussian blur with a radius equal to or less
than the gaussian blur amount to compensate for the blurring.

Hi,
Here is a small sample program to convert data in an internal table into XML format and display it.

SELECT * FROM spfli INTO TABLE itab.
* Create the XML Object
CREATE OBJECT l_xml.
* Convert data in ITAB to XML
CALL METHOD l_xml->create_with_data( name = 'Test1'
                                     dataobject = t_goal[] ).
* Display XML Document
CALL METHOD l_xml->display.
Here are some other sample SAP programs to handle XML in ABAP:

Hi All,
Can any one let me know how does the system determines which date format should it apply while creating/downloading the file.
Issue :
When I create/download the file generated by report RTXWCF02 using unix level acess the Date format of a field in file is DD.MM.YYYY where as in user profile i can see its in MM/DD/YYYY.
I dont understand how system determines the date format and How we can change it. Please suggest.
Regards,
Ravi Kasnale

I would suggest you to use ALV_XXL_CALL if your want to keep your data formats intact.
like this -   CALL FUNCTION 'ALV_XXL_CALL'
       EXPORTING
            i_tabname           = 'T_GRID'   " Name of your internal table
            it_fieldcat         = t_fcatk[]      "Your LAV grids catalog.
       TABLES
            it_outtab           = t_grid         "Internal table itself
       EXCEPTIONS
            fatal_error         = 1
            no_display_possible = 2
            OTHERS              = 3.

How to copy the table datas into an open office excel file .

Hello All ,
I have a form which contains several pages . Each page contains some tables in it . How can we copy each table datas into an open office execl files ??
I mean there will be several excel files each file corresponds to a particular table in the form. I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 2 . in Windows XP.
Thanks
Bibhu.

Hi Bibhu,
Here is a screenshot of exporting the form data to XML:
I have not imported XML into Excel, but I know that Excel 2007 has tools for this in the Developer tab. I don't have Excel 2007 on this machine, so I can't get screenshots. However using Acrobat you can merge the XML file into a spreadsheet, using the same menu Forms > Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet.
In addition you can set up a data connection to the spreadsheet. However this will only work in a Windows environment and you need to share the OLEDB data connection with all users. In addition if you Reader Enable the form with Acrobat, the data connection will not work.
So on balance if you want to get data to a spreadsheet I would recommend export XML.
Hope that helps,
Niall
