Decimals Confusion ?

Hi,
I declared a variable in this manner
<b>data : w_zkprs(15) type p decimals 4.</b>
My guess is the total length is 15 of which 4 are for decimals and 1 for dot and rest for the number . Is that right ?
Regards,
Ben.

Hi,
THe following si from SAP Help on PAcked numbers.. hope this will clarify your cinfucion..
"Type P data allows digits after the decimal point. The number of decimal places is generic, and is determined in the program. The value range of type P data depends on its size and the number of digits after the decimal point. The valid size can be any value from 1 to 16 bytes. Two decimal digits are packed into one byte, while the last byte contains one digit and the sign. Up to 14 digits are allowed after the decimal point. The initial value is zero. When working with type P data, it is a good idea to set the program attribute Fixed point arithmetic.Otherwise, type P numbers are treated as integers."

Suppress Decimals for CURR field in ALV Grid based on condition

Hello All,
I am displaying records in ALV Grid. For a Company Code, I get the Currency Code from table T001.
If the Currency is JPY, I want to display the value of CURR field without decimals.
For example: if the value is 200.00, I want to display only 200
But if the Currency is other than JPY, I want to display value with decimals.
For example: if the value is 200.00, I want to display only 200.00
Also I want the summation function to work on this column, so can't take the field as char field.
Waiting for useful pointers.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Tarun Gambhir

Hi Keshav,
Thanks for the reply.
I have only one CompCode on the selection screen and for that CoCd I will have only one Currency.
So either all records will be displayed with decimals or all records will be displayed without decimals.
Can DECIMALS_OUT property of field catalog be helpful in this case.
For reference you can check: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/ff/4649a6f17411d2b486006094192fe3/content.htm
I am confused over the use of DECIMALS_OUT.
Please suggest.

Web Forms Number Field - Not processing decimals!

We have created a monster web form on a clients site. As it is, we have had to setup an API to deal with the data after its been generated by BC and modify it before sending it on to the client. The client saw no reason for fields that did not have anything entered against them to be sent through in the workflow notification - and I agreed.
Now after all these other problems have been resolved, I discover that all my "number" fields cannot process a decimal place, and they round up or down. BC have suggested I need to recreate the form and just make them all 'text strings'.
Not good enough. Its an EPIC form with over 100 fields in it. We, in good faith, read the instructions that can be found here: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/478/bc_478.html?bc-partner
that state "Number - a text box that must have a number entered into it". No note about NOT using decimals!
The confusing thing is, it lets you enter the decimal from the front end, even displays the web form confirmation page correctly with decimals. But when it creates a case in BC, it rounds the numbers. So its only at this late testing stage that we have discovered the issue
Does anyone have any ideas about faster ways of re-creating this entire form ?
I did submit a support ticket, and was told to switch to the old UI and then just change the type of the fields. But when we try to change a form field from 'number' to 'string' it brings up the message "WARNING: Field updated successfully but type not changed as field has associated values.". Then they said to:
Copy that specific webform change the type fields of the form and then remove the old webform and re-name this one copy with the first webform name. The copy option is available under the link I have provided to you.
However this still means we need to change *all* the fields and then get every field' s ID and insert it into the javascript. Very very time consuming
So A) everyone else be warned and B) Does anyone have a shortcut?
Thanks!!

Thanks for confirming my fears
Its a shame that since its such a long standing thing, it hasnt actually been added to the knowledgebase... which when we started this project (long before this schmozzle of a new system was introduced) was the most relevant place to look. When I start something, I tend to look in the KB.... not think "oh perhaps I should check the FAQ's in case there is a long standing issue that isnt contained in the KB".

Decimals places to 4

In my layout I am using 0AMOUNT and US$4 with 4 decimals. When I key a number into the layout, regardless of what it is, it is correct in the layout. However, when I look in the cube or query, if the value I put in the layout is equal to or less than .0040, it appears as 0. If I put in .0041 or higher, I see that value in the layout and also in the cube and query.
Thanks, Keith J

Keith,
I think you used note 460652 to change length and decimals of domain RSKYFAMO and overlooked that it is not allowed to change the number of decimals. Here only 2 decimals are allowed. In SAP systems currencies always have two decimals, exceptional currencies are maintained in table TCURX. So all currencies not in TCURX have 2 decimals.
So in BW systems currencies on the DB have always 2 technical decimals, how this value is interpreted comes from default 2 or the TCURX settings. So the system get confused if you change technical decimals since this is always assumed to be 2.
Be careful to change TCURX settings when you have data on the DB, since as explained above the data will be interpreted in a different way.
Example:
1 EUR on DB 1.00, no TCURX entry
1 JPY on DB 0.01, TCURCX setting 0 decimals

OLE: export quantity with decimals according to UoM

Dear Guru,
I encounter a problem when exporting data from Itab to Excel using OLE.
In the itab, there are many Quantity fields (with UoM). When I export to Excel, I want the number of decimals of each quantity field must comply with UoM (for ex: PC with 0 decimal, Kgs with 3 decimals).
I try to write the qty to text, it's ok but I also need the exporting qty is formatted as a number in Excel so user can do a sum.
The solution for this problem seems complicated. I have to write qty to text, convert text to number...But for a large number of data, it is really slow.
Is there anybody encounter the same problem? Please advice the solution.
Thanks.

> The solution for this problem seems complicated. I have to write qty to text, convert text to number...But for a large number of data, it is really slow.
You make confusion about the real problem. Converting the quantity is not time consuming (or your program is really badly programmed ).
What is time consuming is making many calls to OLE.
To avoid that issue, SAP uses the Data Provider and the Desktop Office Integration (DOI). The whole data is sent to the frontend once (more or less), and sends only a few instructions to the frontend to process this data. I don't really know the exact process, but it's really, really much faster.
DOI can be programmed directly (there are SAP demo programs which show how it works, search forum), and there is an upper abstraction if you only need to paste data, set colors, that is indicated by Pedro.

Formatting a number element with commas and decimals.

I have a dataset with numbers. I already set the column type to "number".
I want to format the number data with commas and decimals. I found a way to add decimals, but I'm still very confused how to do commas and to combine that with the decimal formatting.
Also, how do I apply that to a repeat region in my spry region?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

I found this on one of the forum questions.
Excel dont preserve the trailing zeros.
try opening the xcel and type 5.0000 and tab out, it wont preserve the trailing zeros after decimal.
try finding out how to disable the option in excel. if you do that, you will see what you send out from the report.
But you can try to convert the number into a text by trying to append a space at the beginning. See if that would work.
Thanks

Muse works with fractions of a pixel but does not display decimals.

I've had a lot of problems with pixel-perfect design in Muse and finally figured out why. Like Illustrator, Photoshop, or anything else, Muse is able to place and size objects to fractions of a pixel; eg. 50.5 pixels. However, the transform panels do not show decimals at all. The transform panel shows only whole numbers, rounding to the nearest whole number. So if an object is placed at 50.3 pixels, it shows "50"; if it's placed at 50.6 pixels, it shows "51". Screenshot below:
In this example screenshot, I made several lines sized between 50 and 51 pixels in height. The first (left-most) one is 50px; the next is 50.1; 50.2; 50.3; 50.35; 50.4; 50.5; 50.7; 50.9; and 51 for the last one.
As you can see, I selected the one that was sized 50.2 and yet the transform panel at the top shows just "50" for the height.
This is incredibly confusing and annoying because while it may appear that an object is located/sized at a specific pixel, it may actually be at a decimal of a pixel, and that is why some objects are not lining up properly. There is no way to see the exact pixel dimensions of anything so if two things are not aligning, you have to take a wild guess at the exact pixel dimensions and change each until they align.
I think this is a crucial problem to fix for your next update.

I do realize that the resizing of the Page view will display the missing pages, but out of curiosity why does it cut it off using the scroll bar feature?

Simple question - number decimals formatting

Hi guys,
Currently, I have to set formatting in Answers manually. Even if a number has decimals, then it still shows an integer. It's usually not a big deal, however, during testing, some numbers like ratios , etc. (<1) always show as 0 - and it leads to confusion. Is there an easy way to control that output? (i.e.< double always show 2 decimals). Also, I wonder if there's an east way to pre-format percentages. Thanks
P.S. I know how to change column properties. What I really would like to know is how to pre-format? some xml file?

Hi wildmight,
We have an option in answers to achieve your requirement.go to answers ->advanced->here go to"Request XML" select the column on which you want to show only integer values
<saw:text>Percent</saw:text></saw:caption></saw:columnHeading>
<saw:showAs type="percentOfAxis" axis="column">
<saw:displayFormat>
<saw:dataFormat xsi:type="saw:percent" minDigits="1" maxDigits="1" scale="2"/></saw:displayFormat
the above XML minDigits="1" maxDigits="0".here give minDigits="0" maxDigits="0"
after modifying this press SET XML button and save the request.
Then you can ba able to get only integer values.

Apple ID appearing on another iPhone device (Sync confusion)

Issue
iTunes is sporadically requesting access to my partner's Apple ID account when downloading applications and trying to install the other iTunes account applications also when syncing takes place within iTunes. System software/accounts seems confused.
How can I ensure that both devices remain separate and do not access each other's iTunes accounts or sync over Mac logins? How can I delete mixed applications from separate Apple ID's ensuring it won't replicate the deletion on the primary Apple ID?
Background
1 x Macbook Pro OS 10.8.2
iTunes 11.0.1
App Store 1.2.1
1 x iPhone 4S OS 6.0.1 (Device A)
1 x iPhone 4 OS 6.0.1 (Device B)
Separate Apple ID's
Separate iCloud accounts
iTunes accounts
Both people have our own iTunes accounts linked to their own device. All details are currently correct when checking Apple ID profiles.
MacbookPro
Both people have separate MacBook Pro logins and software is all up to date.
History
In the past, over a year ago, both iPhone devices were sync'd via the same iTunes and Macbook log in. (Not a good start I know) Both iPhones always had their own iTunes account for downloading apps and music etc. When I realised I was syncing application data from one iPhone to the other on my Macbook, I created two Macbook log ins. I deleted all applications on Device B that were transferred from Device A and also deleted the applications in Device B's iTunes account. It seemed that both devices finally had seperated, retained their own Apple ID logins, applications and Macbook user logins.
Device B recently tried to install an application that Device A also had.
The application installed onto Device B without an issue and there was no confusion with Device A having the same application. The application can be upgraded to provide additional functionality. When Device B requested this within the application to upgrade, the Apple ID of Device A suddenly appeared.
I checked that Device B was asked to INSTALL the primary basic version of the application rather than OPEN it, just incase the confusion started at this point. It definitely said INSTALL.
I thought the divorce was done and dusted in the past.
Why would Device B suddenly point Device A's Apple ID?
To troubleshoot, I connected Device B to iTunes on the MacBook with Device B's Macbook log in. When iTunes opened within the Apple ID of Device B ALL DEVICE A applications appeared and started to sync these applications to Device B! I am back to mixed accounts.
How can ITunes suddenly connect the Apple ID's of both accounts and then tell Device B it needs to install Device A's applications? They are separate Apple ID accounts, separate copyright, separate costs.
I know with iMatch that you can share the library with another device and when this occurs it locks the Apple ID of the primary iTunes account for 90 days on secondary device. We have never done this.
I'm 'Syncing' trying to work this one out, please help!

HT1414 i am in the process of getting my iphone4 unlocked from att to use it on straighttalk. why do i need to "back up" the iphone and all of this? i dont have an apple computer sooo, im a little confused on why i need to do this. can someone please help

Can someone please explain and help me? I am unlocking an iphone4 from at&t to use it on the straight talk network. They've confirmed my request to do this and I am now a little confused as to what to do next. They want me to back up the phone using itunes on either a MAC or PC. I do not have an aplle computer but I do have an acer. Sooo, can I use it to do this? Or do I even have to do this to unlock and switch the iphone4 over to a new network? If I do have to what can I do to do this because like I said I do not have a computer by apple? Can anybody walk me through what I need to do next please? I've been waiting to do this for a very long time and I now have the option to have an iphone and use it. Thanks to my awesome boyfriend who Gave me his old iphone when he swapped back to an android. Hahahaha! Please anybody!? Because I sooo don't know what I'm doing and really do not want to mess the phone Or the process up. Thanks to any and all who read this and help me! It is greatly appreciate it!

Install iTunes on your Acer and you can back up the iPhone. Or back it up to iCloud. If you do not back it up you can get it unlocked, but you will lose all of your content.
You can get iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.
Even after unlocking I'm not sure it will work on Straight Talk, because last time I checked ST used Verizon as its carrier, and an AT&T iPhone 4 is not compatible with Verizon's network. You can probably use it on Net 10 or T-Mobile once it is unlocked.

Computers on small office network - names getting confused on iChat

We are using bonjour and iChat on the computers on a small airport network in our office as an instant messaging solution in our office - however, 2 of the computers (which are named differently) keep getting confused and both being called the same name.
I have done the fix where you go to System Prefs, Users & Groups and then set the address book card to that particular computer owner, restart the computer and then open iChat (using bonjour) - it saves the name but then my colleague becomes the same name as me on iChat - so we do the same thing to her computer (set address book card etc) and it changes her iChat name, but then also seems to override what I had set for mine previously.
Help!! What can I do to stop these 2 computers seemingly overriding each other? It doesn't happen with the other 4 computers sharing our network...

Hi,
In System Preferences > Sharing is the Name the Computer has.
This does play a part in any Bonjour Connection.
It is this name that appears in Shares in the Finders's Side bar.
Separate for that iChat and Messages that have the Bonjour Account Enabled broadcast the details from the My Card in the Address Book.
Issues can arise with some Server based Logins that create a Global Address book that changes the My Card.
You get similar difficulties on some DiskImage roll outs of updates and the like if the details of the Address Book are copied as well.
I am not sure what you mean by the "fix" in System Preferences > Users and Groups to change the My Card or the Computer's Name.
Yes you can click the Contact Card for that account and it will show you it in the Address Book and it should be th My Card.
Changing the My Card then does not alter which Card is associated with the Mac User Account.
There is no access to the Computer's Name

Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts

The method add() in java.awt.Container made me in confuse

          System.out.println("width = " + getBounds().width);
          System.out.println("height = " + getBounds().height);
I thinked the runned result should be below:
MyButton : 1
x = 5
y = 5
width = 200
height = 30
MyButton : 2
x = 5
y = 40
width = 200
height = 30But in fact, its result is here:
MyButton : 1
x = 5
y = 5
width = 200
height = 30
MyButton : 2
x = 0
y = 0
width = 292
height = 173I don't know why the result would like this? I have used add(...) method to add two component MyButton to the container MyContainer, But the bounds of the second component is not I want.
So this problem made me go into confuse.

Confused about Open Cursors :(

Hi all,
i need some clarification on this issue, i've read throught the documentation and i'm a bit confused.
I'm using 10.1.0.2
select sum(value)
from v$statname sn,
v$sesstat st,
v$session s
where sn.statistic# = st.statistic#
and st.sid = s.sid
and sn.name = 'session cursor cache count'
The result of the above query is 4926, meaning i have 4926 CLOSED cursors in the session cursor cache.
select count(1)
from v$open_cursor
The result of the above query is 16968, meaning i have 16968 cached cursors
So there are two distinct cursor Caches ?
now lets look at other statistic
select sum(value)
from v$statname sn,
v$sesstat st,
v$session s
where sn.statistic# = st.statistic#
and st.sid = s.sid
and sn.name = 'opened cursors current'
this one gives me 12212 , so i have 12212 opened cursors (NOT CACHED , REALLY OPENED CURSORS ...is this correct???)
I suspect that my applications are not closing resultsets (java build application, deployed in oracle application server, database connections in pooled connection) ... so i'm trying to help my developers to find the potencial bug in application.
How can i get the SQL from OPEN cursors ???
V$open_cursor gives me SQL from CLOSED cached cursors ...
Best Regards
Rui Madaleno

Hi,
>>this one gives me 12212 , so i have 12212 opened cursors (NOT CACHED , REALLY OPENED CURSORS ...is this correct???)
For your instance, yes because you use the sum(value) aggregate function. But I think that the best is get this value per session.
select count(1) from v$open_cursor
v$open_cursor shows cached cursors, not currently open cursors, by session. If you're wondering how many cursors a session has open, don't look in v$open_cursor. It shows the cursors in the session cursor cache for each session, not cursors that are actually open. To monitor open cursors, query v$sesstat where name='opened cursors current'. This will give the number of currently opened cursors, by session:
select a.value, s.username, s.sid, s.serial#
from v$sesstat a, v$statname b, v$session s
where a.statistic# = b.statistic# and s.sid=a.sid
and b.name = 'opened cursors current';
>>I suspect that my applications are not closing resultsets (java build application, deployed in oracle application server, database connections in pooled connection)
In this case, you need to monitor you application. If want, you can use the OEM Database Console and go to [Top Sessions | Session Details] link, or to use this SQL above.
By the way, do you are getting ORA-1000 errors ?
If so, set the OPEN_CURSORS parameter high enough that you never get an ORA-1000 during normal operations.
Cheers
