Export jsp content to Excel -- how to keep leading zero?

Hi:
I am trying to export a JSP content to Excel by using
response.setContentType( "application/vnd.ms-excel" );
response.setHeader( "Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=pc.xls" );
it was working great except my jsp has a field whose value consist of leading zero. i.e. 000XXX. Excel strips the leading zero, but I would like to keep them. Please advise.

hi Chang,
Can you please check my thread http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=737238&tstart=0
I think you might know the answer since it is similar functionality but for text files.
Thanks !

How to keep leading Zeros in a CSV file

Hi All -
I am trying to keep leading zeros in CSV file. Ex. I need 00001 but not just 1. I tried formatting the cells but not getting saved. Any advise please.
Thanks.

Dear Super Man ,
Try using ALPHA Conversion Routine
ALPHA Conversion Routine
The ALPHA conversion is used in the BW system for each presetting for character characteristics. The ALPHA conversion routine is registered automatically when a characteristic is created. If you do not want to use this routine, you have to remove it manually.
The ALPHA conversion routine is used, for example, with account numbers or document numbers

How to keep leading zeros using SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT

my leading zeros drop when download using FM-SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT, how to fix it?

Hi,
You can try as below.
Let's for the 10 digit numeric field, using the function module CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT, you can get the 10 digit number with leading zeroes.
Now if you declare the char of 10 in length field in the internal table will be replaced with the above value.
Now it will be downloaded as required.

How to keep leading zeros in numeric Keynote entries?

When I try to enter numbers that start with zeroes in a table, Keynote removes the zeroes. For instance, I type 007 and it gets "corrected" to 7. Also, for instance, when i type false in lower case, it gets changed to FALSE.
How do I stop this? I found the Auto-correction tab in Preferences, but everything is unchecked there except for the things that deal with email and hyperlink underlining.

Ok, naturally I found it after I posted the question. I go to Table in the inspector window and change Cell Format from Automatic to Text.

Error Exporting Table Content into Excel

Hi there,
I have code that reads a TableView and exports its content into excel file. The code is running right now in an iView that is stored in a protal role. The code has been developed using PDK. I'm running portal 6.0 SP16.
Here is what the code does:
1. Reads the content of the table and stores it in an HSSFSheet inside an HSSFWorkbooK object.
2. Gets HttpServletResponse from the portal request and updates its content type and headers
HttpServletResponse response = ((IPortalComponentRequest)getRequest()).getServletResponse(true);
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement;filename="EmployeeEntitlementRpt.xls"");
3. Writes the excel file to the response output stream.
ServletOutputStream fileOut = null;
try{
     fileOut = response.getOutputStream();
     wb.write(fileOut);
     fileOut.close();
} catch(IOException ie){
     throw new PortalRuntimeException("IOException when getting output steam from response, writing to the outputstream or closing it.", ie);
The code gives me the following error message, if invoked from the iview inside the detailed navigation.
<b>"Internet Explorer cannot download ...ge!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage from portald.global.ad
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."</b>
However, when I navigate to the same iView and open it in a new window, the code functions as expected.
This is the URL to the iView when opened inside the detailed navigation: https://companyserver.global.ad/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtpos/pcd!253aportal!255fcontent!252fevery!255fuser!252fgeneral!252fdefaultDesktop!252fframeworkPages!252fframeworkpage!252fcom!252esap!252eportal!252einnerpage!7b!3b2!7d.com!252esap!252eportal!252edynamicNavigationArea!7bHideMode!7d_com!252esap!252eportal!252etargetsiView!7bHideMode!7d_com!252esap!252eportal!252etargetsiView!255f!7bHideMode!7d-/prttarget/com!252enexeninc!252etots!252eiv_entitlement_report.content/prteventname/HtmlbEvent/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fevery_user!2fgeneral!2fdefaultDesktop!2fframeworkPages!2fframeworkpage!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage

Hi,
In the iView properties, for the property Entry Point, mark the property as yes instead of the default no. May be this could help u.

How to remove leading zeros from variable

hi,
   how to remove leading zeros from variable like it_vbap-matnr.
value in it_vbap-matnr is 000000000000000358
i want to remove leading zeros so that it become 358
regards
deepak

You can use Function Module <b>'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT'</b>
This Function Module will eliminate leading Zeros.
For each MATNR Value read form DB Table,u can eliminate Leading zeros and then modify ur Internal table.
I think u will not get leading Zeros into utr Internal table when u read from VBAP.
Bcoz MATNR in VBAP itself have Conversion routine.
If u r getting leading zeros,U can use following Logic.
tables:
vbap.
data:
   t_vbap like standard table of vbap.
select matnr
from vbap
into corresponding fields of table t_vbap.
loop at t_vbap into vbap.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_OUTPUT'
      EXPORTING
        INPUT         = vbap-matnr
      IMPORTING
        OUTPUT        = vbap-matnr
modify t_vbap from vbap transporting matnr.
endloop.
Hope this will work.....

How to delimit leading zero in vendor number in OO ABAP ALV without using conversion routine

Hi,
How to delimit leading zero in OO ABAP ALV without using conversion routine, because I have many fields like vendor, customer, material number etc..
How to address this leading zero.
I appreciate your quick response.
Regards,
Nalini S.

Hi Nalini,
Delimiting leading zeros in fields has to be done via conversion routines, as suggested by Vadamalai you need to pass on the conversion routine name in you field catalog variable.
Now as to which object oriented approach are you using to have your table contents display in ALV as it matters -
Using FACTORY method of CL_SALV_TABLE class, or
Using SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY method of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class.
Using FACTORY method of CL_SALV_TABLE will do your own work, no need to apply any conversion routines or set long/medium/short text for columns as we do in field catalogs!

Convert hex to Decimal and keep leading zeros..

Hi,
I hope you can help?
How to convert hex to Decimal and keep leading zeros
I read 002C, hex, and I want to convert it to 0044 decimal.
sscanf (MyNum, "%4x", &DecNum); will only give me 44.
It have been working up till I started to get leading zeros.
We will always have a 4 digit hex input in a range
We must have the leading 00 in this case.
How is this best done?
Thanks for the help
Simon
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I don't really understand your problem. Is this stuff what you need ?
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
const char MyNum[] = "002C";
int DecNum;
sscanf (MyNum, "%4x", &DecNum);
printf ("%04d", DecNum);
getchar ();
return 0;
"0044" appears on standard output when printf function executes...

Help keeping leading zero String- Long

Hello
I wonder lets say I have a String "09090" how do I convert this String to a Long and keeping leading zero so the Long is 09090?
/D_S

Numeric types like Long (or long) are numbers, not strings, so they have no formatting notions like leading zeroes. If you want to maintain the string "09090" keep the string around, even if you have to parse it as well. By the way, you forgot to describe what your goal is, what you are trying to do and what it has to do with leading zeroes.
One more: Why does this print false?
System.out.println(07070 == 7070);Hint: this generates a compile-time error:
System.out.println(09090 == 9090);

How to remove leading zero from Material Number

Hello Everyone,
I need to figure it out how to remove leading zero from material number. Cureently extractor is sending material number as 100663. But when comes into BI i am getting as "000000000000100663" and similariy in report it is appearing as "000000000000100663". Now my client wants me to exclude preceeding zero for a material in all the reports.
Is there any setting in query desinger to handle this issure or in the backend.
Need your inputs.
Thanks,
Lasya.

Hi
you can use the function Module
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT in the start routine
to test this go to SE37 --- give the CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT -
>display -
> F8
in the input give 000000456
and execute
the out put will be 456
for getting Zeros you can use
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT--- to remove leading zeros

How to keep lead selections in alv table...

Hi experts.
I made a alv.
A logic in wdmodifyview is following..
METHOD wddomodifyview .
IF first_time EQ abap_true.
wd_comp_controller->set_alv_config( ).
ENDIF.
wd_this->set_maktx( ). "<- for displaying maktx
ENDMETHOD.
When I want to select a line, do not selected.
I know because of "wd_this->set_maktx( )." sentence.
But I want to select multi lines in above condition...
How to keep selected lines in alv?
Help me please.
Thanks.
Regards.

What logic is taking place in wd_this->set_maktx( )? It is pretty difficult to say what is causing the issue without knowing what code you are executing? If you are resetting the context bound to the ALV, that would explain why you are losing your selections.
