Display unsigned value (battery voltage) = 8134 formatted with a decimal point: 8.134

How can I display an unsigned value such as 8134 with an "implied" decimal point e.g. 8.134 without dividing by 1000? Is there a format code that will do this? I have Student Version 8.2.1. Many thanks

It seems silly to force such an arbitrary restriction. A division is cheap, why son't you want to do it???
Of course you could assign a unit such as V and then set the units to kV for the display.
I would go with the division!

I bought a new ipad2 yesterday and charged the battery and then expected to get going with it but the screen only displays an image of a ubs connection with an arrow pointing to a itunes symbol. I downloaded itunes on a PC and plugged in the ipad to it but nothing changed on the PC or ipad. very frustrating. anyone else experience this or have know how or ideas to help me?

Here is my standard reply, some of which may have no relevance to your situation. Start with trying different USB ports, even a numbe of times.
1. Make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
2. Try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
3. Make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
4. If you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
5. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
6. If using Widows, make sure all Windows Updates are installed.
7. Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
8. And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

Working With Prices/Decimal Points

I've recently figured out how to perform calculations on values by assigning them to variables in a click function however I'm working with prices in my app and it seems difficult to get prices/decimal points to claculate properly. At the moment my app looks like this:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function getTotal():void{
var addon1Int:int = parseInt(addon1.text);
var addon1Float:Number = parseFloat(addon1.text);
var addon1Number:Number = new Number(addon1.text);
var addon2Int:int = parseInt(addon2.text);
var addon2Float:Number = parseFloat(addon2.text);
var addon2Number:Number = new Number(addon2.text);
var addon3Int:int = parseInt(addon3.text);
var addon3Float:Number = parseFloat(addon3.text);
var addon3Number:Number = new Number(addon3.text);
var addon4Int:int = parseInt(addon4.text);
var addon4Float:Number = parseFloat(addon4.text);
var addon4Number:Number = new Number(addon4.text);
var addon5Int:int = parseInt(addon5.text);
var addon5Float:Number = parseFloat(addon5.text);
var addon5Number:Number = new Number(addon5.text);
var quantityNumber:Number = new Number(quantity.value);
total.data = (addon1Number + addon2Number + addon3Number + addon4Number + addon5Number) * (quantityNumber);
]]>

<mx:Text id="addon5" text="3.99"/>
<mx:NumericStepper id="quantity"/>
<mx:Button label="Button" click="getTotal();"/>
<mx:Text id="total"/>
</mx:Application>
It works ok if the numbers in the text areas are whole numbers like 8 or 4 but if I use numbers like 02.99, 05.09 the result comes out a bit srange. For example the result of the numbers that I have in there now if I set the value to 2 in the numeric stepper is 61.900000000000006 when I know from using a real calculator it should be 61.9. Is there any way perhaps of rounding this code to the nearest decimal point so it appears as 61.90?
Are there any good tutorials that any of you know of when working with prices/decimal points in flex?

I've managed to find the solution for this - the currency formatter. If anyone's interested or has similar problems her's the code that solves it for me:-

LSMW field with 5 decimal points

Hi All,
I need to pass a field in the LSMW with 5 decimal points.
we cannot pass the data type as "PAC5". can any one suggest how this can be done in LSMW.
Also, I am passing the currency key as USDN in the LSMW using Idoc method. But it is taking only as USD even though the length of the field is 5 chars. But I am able to acheive this if I manually post it as USDN.
please suggest on the above 2 issues.
Helpful answers will definitely be rewarded.
Thanks in Advance,

How to display the values in JSpinner in format day:HH:mm

Hi All,
I want to know how can I display the values inside a JSpinner in the format day:HH:mm. Here the value of 'day' can be anything say from 0 to 365 and HH stand for hour and mm stands for minutes.
I tried to implement it using
mSpinner.setEditor(new JSpinner.DateEditor(mSpinner, "DD:HH:mm"));
but here the values of day was not proper. Please let me know if there is any standard format or how can I configure my own editor.
Thanks,
Rohit.

Hi,
It worked well for 112 as 112 comes under April month.. i.e. it will work properly for the range 91 to 120 as the current month is April and if we start counting from january 01 then for April month , the number of day will fall under range 91 to 120.
See, it will allow you to change the values beyond the limit (i.e. less than 91 or more than 120) but the real problem is that I used this spinner in the table and when I will try to save the value of spinner , then if the value of day in beyond the limit 91 to 120 then it will automatically changing in the range between 91 to 120.
I tried to use format DD:HH:mm ...... do I need to use any other format..
Hi All,
I want to know how can I display the values inside

I tried to implement it using

day 112 for today which seems correct.

South America localization with comma decimal points

Hello All:
    I am doing a simple division on a formatted search. However it is south america localization and it has the comma as decimal point instead of period. If I just do value 1 / value 2 it give me error message. if I replace , and then cast to numeric and then divide it works. But put in a trigger by formatted search it comes out as a wrong monetary value. The UDF for the FS is a quantity value. Not monetary!
    How does anyone do normal division and multiple with South America localization?
    Thank you for all the help!

The field itself is actually a UDF of type Quantity. So using the quantity select $[$38.11.0]/$[rdr1.U_myfield]
I suppose for checks you can just divide quantity by price or something! But it doesn't seems to work for me!

My quantity is showing with a decimal point and two spaces

When people are entering a quantity of 1 it is showing as 1.00. It is confusing my users because they think this is a price. How can I get rid of the decimal point and two spaces?

Hi,
I am not able to reproduce this problem with a number field. Are you using this field as a payment-quantity field?. If so, please check that the Quantity in your payment setting is linked the the right field.
We can do a quick test: create a new form from scratch, add one textfield, then on the field property panel select Type=number.
Select Test tab and click on the Test Web Form button
Enter a number and commit --> check if you get the decimal point and the spaces.
If you still have problem with this, let me know
Thanks,
Lucia

Displaying Messages in a Log type Format with wrapping

Hello developers,
I am trying to develop a message log display that is similar to the windows event viewer. Using a multi-column listbox I can map a symbol to a bitmap to get the warning, error, and informational ICONs to show up. My issue is that some of the messages can be long and there appears to be no way to word wrap a listbox or table cell. Has anyone been able to do this? I wonder if it could be done with an Xcontrol.
John

If you are talking about manually entering data into the listbox, then yes, hitting enter will change to the next cell.
If you programmatically write to the property node ItemNames with carriages returns in whatever element of the 2-D string array, then you will see that the lines break apart within the cell.
Actually, if you want to wrap words when manually entering data in the listbox, you can hold the Alt key and enter 0013 on the numeric keypad to enter a carriage return.

Font size with a decimal point

I've been making a Safety Manual for a company that I am working for and for the past month everything has been going smoothly, for the most part. That is until today. As usual I am changing my font size and it all of the sudden won't let me change the size,
I put my cursur there and it is black and makes a beep (the beep that means you are doing something wrong). Please help me, as I'm on my last 3 pages.
Thanks,
Chantal

Hi,
Was the decimal number created by yourself? If not, please try to paste the number in notepad first, then copy paste the numbers to your document.
You mentioned, everything was fine till today. Was there any changes in your OS or office?
Also do you mind to share me a copy (keep just the decimal part which you can’t change font size) to:
[email protected]? So I can test it from my side. Please use thread link or the subject of this post as mail subject.
Thank you.

Reports with 2 decimal points

Dear Experts
I want to increase the decimal places of INR from 2 Decimal places to 6 Decimal places,But i want the standard SAP reports to come in 2 decimal places for INR even after changing to 6 decimal places.please Give me solution to this request..

Hi,
Actually what others said is right,but u can use the formula round and round it off to Two digits.
Example: Field name F_012
Insert a new field -->select source type -->Formula
and in the empty space Round(F_012,2)......It will give the cost or rate in two decimal places.
But u have to do this in every report.

Populate vo values in multi colum format

Hi,
I created a VO and now i want to present the values in multi column format with radio button for each value fetched from query .
I tried using message component layout.But i was not successful in doing .
I want in the following format
attibutename value1(radiobutton) value2(radiobutton) value3(radiobutton)
attibutename value1(radiobutton) value2(radiobutton) value3(radiobutton)
attibutename value1(radiobutton) value2(radiobutton) value3(radiobutton)
attributename is :i must give some xyz name and value1(radiobutton)..must be fetched from VO.
Can any one explain me in step by step aprroach of getting this done .
Thanks

This can be done by :
1)If the sql query where condition does not have to many rows, u can use two VO approach, one for display and another for rendering.
2)Use flowlayout in each column of table in ui to attach a radio button and the table VO column value.
But I still wonder whats' ur eaxct requirement? y u wanna this?

Display extra values not displaying extra value

Hi,
I have a SQL query that returns a LOV. I have "Display Extra Values" set to Yes. However, I don't see my "extra value" in the Select List. ?? Yet, when I check the session state, the value in the session state is the extra value. So how come I don't see it in my Select List?
Thank you.

This is from the on-line docs:
To define a value that does not display in the list of values:
a) From Display Extra Value, select Yes.
The extra value is used if the actual column value is not part of the LOV. In that situation, the actual value is shown. If you do not display extra values, you may end up with the wrong value and unintentionally update your data incorrectly.
b) In Null Value, specify the value that displays.
c) If you have not selected a Named LOV, enter the query used to display a select list in the LOV Query field.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Joe

PDF Forms: problem with keypad "decimal dot" when filling "number" fields

Ok, here's my problem :
I've created a form with fields. My client want to input in those fields amount of money. So I've created fields formatted with the "Number" category. 2 decimals, "1234,56" separator style, not currency symbol. So far, so good!
When testing out the form, here's what happening :
On the computer that I've created the form (iMac, Acrobat Pro and Reader, french canadian keyboard layout and system)
Using the keypad, I can input numbers, with the "decimal point" from the keypad no problem.
But when the client is trying to to the same on his PC (and the same is happening with my PC at home, Acrobat Pro 9.2, french canadian keyboard layout and system), I CAN'T use the "decimal point" keypad key to input numbers (like 43,25). It's just not working (error sound). I can however use the "dot" on the keyboard near the "M" key, but the client don't want to do that.
Why is it working on the Mac, but not on the PC's!?
So far, the only workaround that I've found is to set the "money" fields categories to "none" instead of "number.

It is a little bit tricky, but you might have to add your own formatting handler. You would proceed as follows:
1. Set the Format to "none".
2. Add the following script to a Custom Keystroke event:
if (event.change.length > 0 && event.willCommit == false) {event.change = event.change.replace(/\,/gim, ".") ;
3. Add the following script to a Custom Format event:
event.value = event.value.toString().replace(/\./gim, ",") ;
And that should take care of the situation.
Note that i have not tested the scripts, and there may be a chance for bugs.
The advantage of this solution is that internally, you will have the correct format for a number, so that calculations will be correct.
Hope this can help.

Formatting currencies and decimal places

I'm currently using NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() to format numbers as currency. However, one problem I'm having is that I'd like values with no cents to be formatted with no decimal places, and any values with cents to be formatted with the usual 2 decimal places. For example:
17 would be formatted as $17
17.45 would be formatted as $17.45
17.4 would be formatted as $17.40
The last one is the tricky part--I've tried formatter.setMinimumFractionDigits(0), and this works great for the first two cases. But for the last case, the number gets formatted as $17.4.
Basically my problem is I want a number to be formatted with zero or two decimal places and nothing in between. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Otherwise you are likely to find that you are getting .00 due to errors from previous calculations. You are right. Adjusted it to Locale aware

Adobe forms - script for dollar amounts with no decimal?

I have several forms where the decimal is already on the form (think Tax Form). I want to be able to set to a number format with 2 decimal places, but I do not want the decimal to show. Not all of the text placed will have cents amounts, and I need to have the field combed to allow it to show up correctly in the field.

Then you need to use the validation script or custom calculation script to round or truncate the inputted data as necessary.
You can use JavaScirpts 'Math.floor()' method to truncate the cents or you can round using JavaScript's 'Math.round()' method or Acrobat JavaScript's 'util.printf()' method to round the inputted value.
