Export to Excel - leading zeros problem

Hello,
I wrote an application, which exports the data from an internal table into an excel file.
I defined a variable as char20. The variable contains the value '000256'.
When I generate the excel file, the leading zeros are cut and so only the value 256 is stored into the cell.
Is it possible to prevent the cut of the zeros?
Best regards & Thanks in advance
Here is a part of may code:
conv_out = cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create( encoding = 'UTF-8' ).
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
    EXPORTING
      text   = gv_content
    IMPORTING
      buffer = gv_xtext.
attach the first file
    conv_out->convert( exporting data = gv_xtext ).
    cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
    i_filename = 'file1.XLS'
    i_content   = gv_xtext
    i_mime_type = 'application/msexcel'
    i_in_new_window = abap_true
    i_inplace       = abap_true ).

you could add an apostrophe ' in front of all fields that you want exported as a text.
this will ensure no truncating is done.
it's excel that does the shifting, so you can't really interfere from the SAP side

BAPI_PO_CHANGE document number leading zero problem

Hi experts,
The following code clears the "Delivery Complete" flag on a list of Purchase Orders uploaded from a CSV file.
The PO number is 9 digits long, however, in EKPO table it is stored as 10 digits (prefixed with a zero). The BAPI does not recognise the document number unless it is prefixed with a zero in the CSV file (which adds extra work for the user to create custom format in Excel to add the leading zero).
What code is required for the BAPI to recognise the 9 digit number without the leading zero?   Perhaps the leading zero could be hard-coded into the program?
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Can't export filename with leading Zeros -i.e. File-001

Windows sorts filenames based on the leading digit. So the file after File-1 is File-10, not File-2.
I can enter a sequence starting at 001, but LR ignores it. I don't want to start numbering at 100, but so far that is the only workaround I can think of.

This is certainly possible. In the export dialog, click on the template popup in the file naming section. Select Edit. Now in Sequence and date you'll find a popup that will do leading zeros. As you can see you can name in millions of different ways only limited by your imagination and practical limits.

Leading zeros problem with custom popup

I've implemented a custom popup page following the How-To docs on the topic. The value I'm return to the calling page in the passback function most often will have leading zeros. So from the custom popup I do a call like this: javascript:passback(00363644). When my value arrives back on the calling page it's converted to 124836 (haven't yet figured out what kind of conversion is happening there).
I realize this is not a javascript forum (and I've Googled for leading zeros in javascript to no avail - yet) but the HTML DB field type Popup LOV seems to accomplish this just fine so I was wondering how Oracle might be doing it. Anyone have any ideas?
Earl

Vikas,
See
http://tinypic.com/ibbfoy.jpg
So, just use
javascript:passback("00363644")and it should do what you want.You would think. But I've tried:
wrapping it in single quotes:
opener.document.getElementById('P6_CONTACT_ID').value = "'" + myVal + "'";
wrapping it in single quotes:
opener.document.getElementById('P6_CONTACT_ID').value = """ + myVal + """;
and the other 'trick' that I've seen mentioned several places, concatenating an empty string to the value:
opener.document.getElementById('P6_CONTACT_ID').value = "" + myVal;
All to no avail! This is really frustrating. Supposedly, any string concatenation action will 'force' the value to retain it's original 'string-ness'.
Working off this assumption and thinking that the conversion had already taken place by the time I assigned the value I backed up a step and assigned the value to a variable before trying to set the value, ala:
var myVal = p_Value.toString();
opener.document.getElementById('P6_CONTACT_ID').value = myVal;
and still no joy.
Following this logic one step further, do I need to get the value to a string in the original call. This will be a challenge because the link in the popup report is a is set to a URL with javascript call, like this: javascript:passback(#CONTACT_ID#);
Further, when I float over the links with the mouse I can see the URL in the status bar of the browser as javascript:passback(00363644); So, how do I go about wrapping this in quotes in the link?
Any help???

Export to excel character set problem

Hello,
I'm having troubles exporting a query to excel in ApEx,
signs like é ü are displayed incorrect. I have been searching for a while now but i can't find out what is wrong. The DAD of the DB is UTF8 and ApEx is also UTF8. Could anyone give me hint what could be wrong?
Here is an example:
WÜRTH is displayed WÃœRTH
When I trow in a convert from UTF8 to WE8ISO8859P15
WÜRTH is displayed as Wï¿½TH
FROM 'US7ASCII', 'WE8ISO8859P1'
WÜRTH is displayed as W??RTH
I use the following procedure:
PROCEDURE p_export_lots(p_public_sale_id IN public_sales.public_sale_id%TYPE,
p_language_cd IN item_descriptions.language_cd%TYPE)
IS
CURSOR c_excel
IS
Select itm.item_id, to_char(long_description) long_description
from items itm, item_descriptions des
where itm.item_id = des.item_id
and language_cd = p_language_cd
and dossier_id In ( SELECT dossier_id
FROM dossiers
WHERE public_sale_id = p_public_sale_id)
ORDER BY to_number(lotnr_from);
v_trans VARCHAR2(400);
BEGIN
-- Set the MIME type
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
-- Set the name of the file
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="export.csv"');
-- Close the HTTP Header
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- Print out a portion of a row,
-- separated by commas and ended by a CR
FOR rec_excel IN c_excel LOOP
v_trans := rec_excel.long_description;
htp.p(' '||';'||rec_excel.item_id||';'||v_trans||';'); -- a new line in excel
END LOOP;
-- Send an error code so that the
-- rest of the HTML does not render
htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
END p_export_lots;
Thanks in advance

hmmm the DAD should be "AL32UTF8" not "UTF8" ...
as long as you use the htp.p procedure all your output is being converted to
AL32UTF8 (as the DAD setting states).
Why don't you use the APEX-provided export-to-excel function. IKf you navigate
to the application settings and there to the globaization settings you can enable
the "automatic CSV encoding" - Setting this to "yes" should do the trick for you ...

Export to Excel Formating Option Problem

Hi all!
I create a Crystal Reports.when i export to Excel File in a winform app,there has the 'Create page breaks for each page' option,but in asp.net web page.there is only two option,and not include the 'Create page breaks for each page' .I excpet the Excel File was page breaked.
has any ideas?
Thanks!
Ray

You can use the ExcelFormatOptions to specify what you want the export to look like.
Look for it here:
[http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm]
You can also set up the reports export options that you want to always be used by opening the report in Crystal and going to File|Export|Report Export Options.
I am not sure about the 2nd question. You will want to create a new thread for that and someone else may know the answer. Can you do it when you export it from Crystal Reports? If not, then you won't be able to do it from your application.

Export sequence with leading zeros

Is there a way to persuade LR to export a sequence beginning with name-01.jpg instead of name-1.jpg so the images sort properly?

Have you tried doing this?
You are not restricted to the supplied example filename setups. You can use the "Filename Template Editor" to construct one to your own specifications using the presented options (these "tokens" are replaced with the relevant details of each image exported) plus anything else (standard text, dashes, spaces etc) that you care to put into the template.

Exporting leading zeros in error

Hello,
I am currently working on a problem that was uncovered in our support pack testing. we were on support pack 14 and now have upgraded to support pack 18. the users run a ALV report and would export the report to excel. the ALV report would display the line item asa 2 digit number. when they would download the report, the field would display as a 4 digit fields with three leading zeros. when you checked the excel file, the line item field would have the green triangle in the upper left corner of the cell and when you checked in green triangle, you would get " the number is stored as text". now after the upgrade, this is not happening.
does anyone know why this was happening and if this was corrected in one of the support packs 15 thru 18?
one of our users was using this file with the leading zeros to upload to a external database and now is having problem with the new file format
thanks in advance for the help

Dear Friend ,
You can mention in the Fieldcat LZERO = 'X' for the field in fieldcatalog.
this will solve your leading zero problem.

Shankar

Leading zeros are dropped when exporting as csv

I have a report that when I export as csv, leading zeros in text columns are dropped in excel. The text columns appear fine in the report, however, when I export the leading zero is gone in excel. For example, in the report my text column could have a value of 0101, when it is exported to excel it has a value of 101. The code behind the link to export to csv is f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION.:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R#REGION_ID#
Is there a way to keep the leading zero in excel?
Regards
Mark

Thanks for your reply. In my query I wrapped the column with double quotes as you suggest, and added the same column for display:
select '"'||column1||'"' execl_col, column1 disp_col from table where ....
Using htmldb_application.g_excel_format as a conditional display I can control what is displayed on the screen and export to csv the double quoted text field. I have that part working fine. Using my previous data example, I am now seeing in excel 0101"".
Did I wrap the field incorrectly with double quotes? How can I exclude the
double quotes in the export to csv?
Regards
Mark
