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.

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.

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

JHS: Export to Excel doesn't work when having leading zeros

Oracle JHeadstart Release 11.1.1.2.29
We are using the Export to excel option, but when we have leading zeros it doesn't export it as text so the data is incorrect.
Can any one please tell how doe we configure JHeadstart/ADF to have the leading zeros and export it as text rather than as number.

Ram,
Export to excel is native ADF feature,not related to JHeadstart. Please post your question on the JDeveloper forum.

Preserve Leading Zeros in SQL export to TXT

I need to export accounting data from SQL to a series of TXT files, with a "ServiceCode" of 02. I cannot get the
leading zero to stick.
Here is the section of the SQL stored procedure that pulls the serviceCode of “02.”
IF @serviceCode =
'02'
BEGIN
SELECT @total =
COALESCE(SUM(Price),0),
@itemCount = COALESCE(SUM(ItemCount),0)
FROM #tblData
WHERE CostCenter = @costCenter
AND ServiceCode
IN(SELECT
DISTINCT [ServiceCode]
FROM [DsPcDb].[dbo].[Service_T]
WHERE [Name]
NOT
LIKE
'%color%'
AND [Name]
NOT
LIKE
'%scan%'
AND [Name]
NOT
LIKE
'%fax%'
AND [ServiceCode] <=
196623)
END
...and here is some text from the "02" output .txt file, with the leading zero stripped out of the third column:
11/21/2014,00000-24057,2,1125
11/21/2014,00001-MKTG12,2,150
11/21/2014,40059-00395,2,62
11/21/2014,40059-00409,2,32
11/21/2014,40059-00428,2,12
11/21/2014,40059-00432,2,2
11/21/2014,40059-00434,2,218
This won't let the receiving database import the data. ("02" is a specific code.) Three other txt files from this
procedure are imported properly.
Please help! Thanks!

You need to cast the servicecode field to varchar to make sure it retains leading zero.
So in your case make variable type varchar and also places where you select from field cast it to varchar.

Need help on avoid truncation of leading zeros while export to Excel

Hi
I am using crystal reports XI version and facing numerical format issue while exporting data from crystal report viewer to excel file, it is removing leading zeros in a alphanumeric field (String field from DB)
Thanks
Nagamani

The only thing that might do this would be to append an apostrophe (') to the beginning of the field. What I would try is:
1. Add a text object to the report where you want this string to appear.
2. Type an apostrophe in the text box.
3. Drag the field into the text box so that it's to the right of the apostrophe.
If you don't want the apostrophe to appear when viewing the report, try this:
1. Right-click on the text box and select "Format Object". Set the font color to be the same as the background color.
2. Double-click in the text box.
3. Select the field, right-click on it and select the "Format..." option. Set the font color to black or whatever other color you're using in your report.

Leading zeros are truncated during EXPORT

I am having a report consist of some numberic columns like Emplid (0011, 0223, 00045). When I do the export, these zero's are getting dropped in the csv file.
so in csv file I am having 11, 223, 45 values
How to avoid this??

Hi,
I tried with following query...just added =
select empno ,'="'||empno||'"' empno_excel from emp;
it's working perfectly. Can someone explain me how putting = is removing the leading zero's.
Also I want to show only Excel coulmn in my CSV file. How can I do that.
Is there any API to hide columns in Excel file??
thanks,
deepak

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?

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.

Export to Excel - data with leading zeros

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for running a query then exporting to Excel without dropping leading zeros from the data?
Examples: numeric Item codes with leading zeros, telephone numbers that have been entered with no spaces.

< Font Color="RED" Size = 3 Face=Verdana>
I liked the challenge and therefore.......I got this for you
</Font>
SELECT CHAR(28) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(29) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(30) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(31) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
Any of the above 4 should work. T0.CardCode is the database field I tested, you can substitute this with any database field and it should work.

Exporting Numbers file with leading zeros as csv file

When I export a list of mobile phone numbers with leading zeros (086* etc.) from Numbers as a csv file, the leading zeros are stripped out, although the cells are previously formatted as text. What can I do about this?

"When I export a list of mobile phone numbers with leading zeros (086* etc.) from Numbers as a csv file, the leading zeros are stripped out, although the cells are previously formatted as text. What can I do about this?"
Well, the first thing you could do would be to post your question in one of the forums for Numbers.
Click Discussions to get to the Discussions index page, then the section for the version of iWork you're using, then the Numbers forum in that section.
In AppleWorks (which doesn't offer an opportunity to Save as or Export as csv) I'd force the application to see the phone numbers as text by inserting some non-numeric characters into the string of digits.
Examples: 000-123-4567, 000 123 4567
It may also be a function of the application you are using to open the csv file.
When I did a brief test of the suggestion above with Numbers '09, I got this result on opening the file in Text Edit:
,1234567890,num
,123-456-7890,tex
,0123456789,num
,012-345-6789,tex
,0001234567,num
,000-123-4567,tex
Note that both the examples entered as a string of digits only (num) and those entered with inserted hyphens (tex) kept the leading zeroes. Cell format for the column containing the phone numbers was set to Text.

Export to Excel dropping leading zeroes

Hi,
I have used the 'Export' feature of the form and is working well except it drops the leading zeroes on some columns.
I have defined them as string so it should retain them. How can I keep the zeroes?
Thank you.

When you say that is dropping the zeros only for a few columns, is it working fine for other columns having leading zeros? If yes, check the type of data defined for the placeholder bean and the data type of the corresponding VO column.
