Eliminating leading ZEROs in EPM webform

Hi,
We have entered data in webform with leading ZERO. that column datatype is TEXT. But its elimnating the leading ZERO, when we are requerying the data through webform.
Example:
we are having a column as 'X' data type is TEXT in webform.
we have entered 01234 value in column X and saved. when we are requerying the same it shows as 1234 in webform.
thanks in advance
Thanks
Kumar

Eliminating Leading Zeros for Input

Hello,
I am very new to the world of Netweaver Portals and Web Dynpro, so please have some patience.
I have created an application in Web Dynpro which will display the Stock Requirements for a Material. Everything is working fine with the exception that the User needs to enter 10 leading zeros before they enter the material number. Is this something that I can correct in Web Dynpro, or is there something I need to do on the R/3 side?
In R/3, the user can simply type in the 7 digit material number, but in my Web Dynpro App, they need to enter a 17 digit number (10 leading zeros and the 7 digit mat number).
I have checked other topics, but couldn't find where this exact issue has been addressed. Thanks for your help.
Paul

Paul,
one possible solution for this issue might be to write some code to add the missing zeros. For example you can put the coding in a action method.
Please take a look at the following snippet:
// get the material number from context (this is the number entered by the user)
String id = wdThis.wdGetWelcomeComponentController().wdGetContext().currentContextElement().getMaterialID();
if(id.length() < 17) {
for(int i = 0; i < 17 - id.length(); i++) {
id = "0" + id;
// your id is now a 17 digit number
I that helps you.

Remove leading zeros from string

I am working on a report and I am having a little issue with the output.
I have several dollar amount fields that I need to format with only the decimal place. The amount fields are coming in as strings between 10-16 characters.
I could not find a way to use the currency formatter so I used substrings to break it apart and put it back together in the format I need. However I am now running into an issue with leading zeros. I can't used ReplaceAll as there is a possibility of having a 0 in the amount field.
Here is what I have done for the substrings:
int intLength = strField.length();
intDollar = intLength - 2;
strDollar = strField.substring(1, intDollar);
strCent = strField.substring(intDollar, intLength);
System.out.println(strDollar + "." + strCent);The original string: 0000000037049469
My output now: 00000000370494.69
Desired output: 37049469
Any suggestions on how to remove the leading zeros?

Just wanted to comment that I solved the issue differently by casting the string value to an integer and back. Don't know if it's bad solution performancewiseNever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever worry about performance. At least not until you're much further along the road; and even then not until you've proved that it's inadequate.
but it's quite compact and readable and did the job of eliminating leading zeros.I suspect you'll also find that it has the great advantage of providing you with a dollar (or cent) value that you can use elsewhere in your program the way it was intended.
example:
String noZeros = String.valueOf(Integer.parseInt(stringWithZeros));Or possibly even more usefully:
int cents = Integer.parseInt(stringWithZeros);
String noZeros = String.valueOf(cents);I'd also suggest looking up the NumberFormat and DecimalFormat classes, and PrintStream.printf(); all very useful for what you're trying to do.

Regarding the Elimination of leading Zeroes .

Hi Experts,
Iam new to XI.
Iam doing a File to Idoc scenario (PO Response) ,
I want to remove the leading zeroes from one of the field from file and map it to the corresponding Idoc field.
Is there any Standard functions to do this ? If not , Can anyone pls post the code for UDF to execute this Logic.
waiting for ur response.
Thanks in Advance.

say ur inptu to the udf is inputVal use the below code in UDF:
String output = inputVal.replaceFirst("^0+","");
return output;
or also
int Seq = Integer.parseInt(inputVal)

Leading zeros in CSV file.

Hi Team,
I need to retain leading zeros in CSV file.
I could eliminate this problem in XLS file by using this tag in the RTF Template:
<fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?XML_ELEMENT?></fo:bidi-override>.
So, when i do an Export from Publisher for excel document its gives me correct values. i.e zeros are retained.
But when i select "CSV" and then hit Export , it gets saved in txt file and the txt file has the zeros.
but when i rename it to ".csv" and open it does not retain zeros.
Can you please let us know how can we achieve this.
Thanks for help!
Bhupendra Gupta

Hi Bhupendra,
If its a number the leading zeros will be eliminated in CS in the default CSV .can't do much on this.
But if use the delimiter e-text and get the output file, you can get the leading zeros as needed..

Supressing Leading Zero's

My database has a field that has a total of 30 characters.
Depending on the data that was entered there could be a large number of leading zero's that is displayed within that field. How do you supress the leading zero's for that field when the number of leading zero's could fluctuate?
In addition to that, they are also using Bar Code Scanning on that same field. How can you suppress the Leading zero information on the same field once it has been converted to Bar Code?

I dont think cstr(val(x)) will work if the value is "001000000000000000005147002589" as val(x) will convert it to a number and due to the number of digits, CR will convert it to scientific notation, at least CR XI converts.
One possible solution would be to loop through the digits and extract the data by eliminating the leading zeros. For example:
stringvar x := "001000000000000000005147002589";
// Example, you don't need this in your formula
numbervar i;
for i := 1 to length(x) do
if x NOT EQUAL TO '0' then exit for
// use the not equal sign (greater than and less than symbols)
x[i to length(x)];
You can use this formula for both display and bar code purposes by replacing X with the db field.

Adding leading zeros in abap objects.

Can anyone explain me
1. How to add leading zeros to a field in abap objects.
For eg:
data: dmb(6) type c value '123456',
actually the output value of c should have leading zeros added to it for length 16.
i.e '0000000000123456' . If the length of dmb is less than 16 then leading zeros should be added to that value to make it 16 as length.
Please tell me how to do it in ABAP Objects.

Hi Camila
Try to use the statement
DATA: ALPHABET(15) VALUE ' ABCDEFGHIJ',
 M1(4) VALUE 'ABCD',
 M2(6) VALUE 'BJJCA '.
SHIFT ALPHABET LEFT DELETING LEADING M1.
The field
ALPHABET
remains unchanged.
SHIFT ALPHABET LEFT DELETING LEADING SPACE.
The field ALPHABET now has the following contents:
'ABCDEFGHIJ '.
SHIFT ALPHABET RIGHT DELETING TRAILING M2.
ALPHABET now has the following contents:
' ABCDEFGHI'.
IN CHARACTER MODE
Effect
This is the default setting (see above), and the addition is therefore optional.
Note
Performance:
For performance reasons, you should avoid using SHIFT in WHILE loops.
The runtime required to shift a field with length 10 by one character to the right or left requires about 5 msn (standardized microseconds). A cyclical shift requires around 7 msn. The runtime for the ...
LEFT DELETING LEADING
... variant is around 3.5 msn, for ...
RIGHT DELETING TRAILING
... around 4.5 msn.

How do I use the print function to output a numeric variable with a fixed amount of leading zeroes

I need to create an output from a T-SQL query that picks a numeric variable and uses the print function to output with leading zeroes if it is less than three characters long when converted to string. For example if the variable is 12 the output should
be 012 and if the variable is 3 the output should be 003.
Presently the syntax I am using is PRINT STR(@CLUSTER,3) . But if @CLUSTER which is numeric is less than three characters I get spaces in front.
Please help!

>> I need to create an output from a T-SQL query .. <<
NO! NO! In RDBMS, we have a presentation layer that handles displays. We do not ever do it in the database. This is fundamental. But more than that, the purpose of PRINT is for debugging in T-SQL and never for output.
You are still writing 1960's COBOL or BASIC, but you want to to it in SQL. You probably picked the wrong data type (a numeric that should be a string) and are trying to repair your design error.

IR - Column with leading Zeros issue

Hello,
I've got an IR report which includes as "default report settings" 1 column with leading 0s. In order to export to Excel that column as text rather than as a numeric I followed a workaround proposed before in this forum (excel copy drops leading zeros
In essence this workaround is to create an identifical column but in "excel text format" and display the columns depending on the request value: INSTR(NVL(:REQUEST,'YABBADABBADO'),'CSV') <> 0 for example.
This works just fine for the default report.
The problem arise when a user creates his own customise report that includes the mentioned column and saves it as a named report. Here, when the results are exported to excel the "excel" column does not appear.
In fact, just hiding one of the displayed columns produces the same undesired result.
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Many thanks
Edited by: Javier Gil on Jul 20, 2010 7:52 AM

I have found a better method. In your IR query:
SELECT LPAD(v.vendor, 7, ' ') vendor,
/*Just LPAD to a length of the column defined in the database table or to 7, whichever is greater. */
FROM v, r
WHERE v.VENDOR = r.VENDOR
AND date_rcv <= to_date(:P150_CUTOFF,'yyyy/mm/dd')
AND inv_nbr = ' '
AND to_stores <> 'T'
AND (V.VENDOR = RPAD(:P150_VENDOR,10,' ') OR :P150_VENDOR = 'ALL')
When you download to Excel by Download/XLS (Request=XLS), it preserves the leading zeros.
In the case of dates, you should LPAD 10 minimum in this format.
LPAD(to_char(date_rcv,'MM/DD/YY'), 10, ' ') date_rcv,
I haven’t tried it yet but I think in the case of ‘MM/DD/YYYY’, you should LPAD 12 minimum in this format.
LPAD(to_char(date_rcv,'MM/DD/YYYY'), 12, ' ') date_rcv,
Drawbacks of this method:
Since the string has leading white spaces, you cannot use the filter for the ‘=’ comparison operator. Even filtering using leading white spaces will not return anything. You must use the LIKE and NOT LIKE operator instead.
Advantages of this method over the original one I posted yesterday:
1) You do not have to create another column for download, just one column will suffice.
2) Even though the query has leading white spaces, they will not display in the IR region.

IR truncating leading zeros in my popup window report

Hello,
I am using IR_columnname, for one of the columns in my report which is a popup window report.
My problem is that IR_column search filter in my popup window is truncating the leading zeros.
I am getting the value but it is truncating the leading zeros.
like say if the deptno is something like 020 or 0020 in the parent window.
the IR_columnname value is taking '20' (its truncating leading zeros) with this filter its not dispalying the result in my popup window.
can anyone help me out with this.
thanks.

How are you passing values to the IR filter? There could be a possibility that you source logic is truncating the leading zeros.
Thanks,

How do I add leading zero(s) to exported files' names?

I'm using Lightroom 1.4 on an iMac, with OS X 10.4. When I export a batch of photos, they get numbered automatically. For example, if they're pictures of my dog, I'll specify "Dog" as the name to be used and 1 as the starting number. Lightroom will then export them as "Dog-1.tif" and "Dog-2.tif" and so on.
The problem is that when I then load these files into another application, it thinks that "Dog -1.tif" should be followed by "Dog-11.tif," then "Dog-12.tif," and so on to "Dog-19.tif" and then "Dog-2.tif," "Dog-20.tif," "Dog-21.tif," etc.
One solution to this would be to have them numbered as 01, 02, 03. . . 09, 10, 11, etc. Rather than add those leading zeros to the file names manually, I'd like to have Lightroom put them in when it exports the files, but I can't figure out how to do that. I've tried entering 01 as the starting number in the "Export" dialogue box, but that doesn't do the trick.
Can anybody tell me how to get Lightroom to add a leading zero (or zeros, when I export more than 99 files at a time) to the file names?

>What if I just wanted to name the images 0001, 0002, 0003, etc? Can't seem to figure that out.
In the Filename Template Editor, simply insert the [Sequence # (0001)] token as the only entry in the template field.

Hi,
Please check out this thread.
Remove leading zeros
Also check if there is any conversion routine used for that particular infoobject.
If ALPHA conversion is selected for your infoobject then it will automatically take away the leading zeros at query level.

How can I remove the leading zeros on jpg files?

I'm looking for a way to remove the leading zeros on over 1000 jpg files, without changing the remaining digits in the file name. Is there some automated "batch" script?
i.e going from 003405607.jpg to 3405607.jpg

You could write an AppleScript. but it will be easier to get and use a third-party file renaming utility. I use the freeware NameChanger which works quite well.

w_char(10).
w_vbeln = '000012345'.
write w_vbeln to w_char no-zero.
or
The function Module 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT' is used to remove the leading zeros in a field.
the following is a sample code which i have used for 'Commitment item' in my report. replace the field with your required field.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
