External/internal format of amounts in Dynpros

Hello,
If you enter amounts with currency JPY in a database table via generic maintenances view (sm30), they are automatically transformed into the internal format (with 2 decimal places).
I want to use this "effect" for my own dynpros. Does anyone know where this conversion takes place (PBO/PAI Modules, Includes) or know what settings I have to take into account?
Thank you.
Tanja

This should happen based on conversion exit associated with the screen-field/dictionary-element.
You can use the same dictionary element (Tcur*-field) for your screen and most likely it won't need anything else. Conversion exit like this one is applied at the 'domain' level (underlying the data element).

Amount to internal format

I want to convert the amount to its equivalent internal format..
For example, my amount may 200,000.000USD.. I want to get its equivalent internal format.. Is there a FM to do this?
i GUESS i can use this FM , CURRENCY_AMOUNT_DISPLAY_TO_SAP..but this FM requires my input in DEC11_4 format.. how do I handle the amount that i have in character format or with decimal places more than 4 ?
Please confirm

You can do something like this.
report zrich_0001.
data: amount(15) type c value '200,000,000.000'.
data: xusr01 type usr01.
select single * from usr01 into xusr01
               where bname = sy-uname.
case xusr01-dcpfm.
when 'X'.
    translate amount using ', '.
when ' '.
    translate amount using '. '.
    translate amount using ',.'.
when 'Y'.
    translate amount using ',.'.
endcase.
condense amount no-gaps.
write:/ amount.

Differences between Internal Format and External Format

Hi experts,
When I was importing master data from InfoObject in BW, there's an option selection in the screen of Data Manager. Its name is Choose format and two selectable options are:
1. Internal Format
2. External Format
I looked into help of BPC and it says:
Choose the Format
Note:
The External Format calls the Output conversion routine of the InfoObject.
The Internal Format does not call the Output conversion routine.
I'm not sure what is Output conversion routine of the InfoObject. Could you help me to understand it?
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,
In BPC Data Manager, you will find Conversions, in that you will find
External and Internal formats. This means if you are importing a flat file where in
Example your date format in that file is 31-10-2009, but our Internal format (BPC format)
will not accept it. Our internal format is 2009.OCT. So accordingly you have to
mention that. It may be for any dimension like Accounts, Product and so on.......
I hope this may help you.

Convert to internal format

Hi!
nice question popping up again and again:
When entering any text value on a screen (dynpro) field, it is automatically converted to ABAP internal format.
This is done according to the technical characteristics defined in the underlying domain.
If a conversion routine is specified for the domain, it will be processed. I.e. conversion exit 'ALPHA' will used the function module 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'.
Many (or most) domains are not connected to conversion routines. Date and numeric values are converted according to the user and/or language settings for external representation of dates and numeric values.
But: There seems to be no way to call those conversion routines from ABAP programs.
Why not?
regards,
C.

Hi,
To convert dates or numeric values in user-specific format you can use WRITE stmt.
data: odate(10),
onum(20),
value type p decimals 2 value '123456.78'.
write sy-datum to odate.
write value to onum.

Can I copy files from an external NTFS formatted drive to my Mac?

My PC laptop died and I have two external NTFS formatted hard drives. I also have a desktop Mac.
I searched and came across another post dated Sept 2005 in the Support Forum that asked this similar quesiton I post. Sorry if i appear to sound repetitive but I really need confirmation to the answer for reason stated below.
The answer given then was as follows, "Max OSX can only read files on an NTFS formatted external hard drive -- it cannot write files to such a drive [OK, that is clear to me]. If you copy a file from an NTFS formatted hard drive to the internal hard drive of your Mac, there are absolutely no restrictions on what you can do to that copy of the file."
So, to me this means I can modify the JPEG file in my Mac using Photoshop, right? No reformatting of the NTFS drive is necessary? If so, please let me know ASAP as i have a deadline to return the brand new PC which I purchassed thinking that that was my solution.
I pose this question to this forum because the original post is 8 years old and wonder if OS compatibility issues remain the same.

If you want to modify the JPEGs you have on the NTFS external disk, you will have to copy the images to your Mac hard disk before editing them.
If you want to edit files on a NTFS external disk, you have to install a third-party application as Paragon NTFS

Conversion exit ALPHA, external- internal

What does the below Alpha Conversion do :
<b>Conversion exit ALPHA, external->internal</b>
An example wud help me understand better!!

Hi,
A conversion routine is identified by its five-place name and is stored as a group of two function modules. The function modules have a fixed naming convention. The following function modules are assigned to conversion routine xxxxx:
CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT
CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT
The INPUT module performs the conversion from display format to internal format. The OUTPUT module performs the conversion from internal format to display format.
E.g. If you specify ALPHA conversion for Material number then when user enters the value for MATNR as 123; internally it is converted to 0000123 and is stored in that format in the database. In this case, conversion is done from external format to internal format and the other way if you are reading value from database; it is converted from internal to external format and value is shown as 123, instead of 0000123.
Hope this helps.

Unit of the Quantity field is displaying in internal format in Bex report

Hi Experts,
I have a BEx Query, in which i have quantity keyfigure added(Examble - Sales Quantity).
When i run the report for a selection the report displayes the unit for the quantity field in internal format.
Examble - instead of showing 10 CS (case), the report is shwing in 10 CV (internal format of unit CS is CV).
Also when i check the cube content, it has the unit updated into the cube as CS for that keyfigure.
Can any one let us know, how to dispaly the report output in external format.
Regards.
Muruganand.K

Hi Gopi,
The property in question is "calculated". This is a property of a context value attribute. So select the value attribute in the context to which your field is bound and view the properties. Set "calculated=true". It will generate the accessors.
In the setter method, add the following piece of code:
public void set<your attribute name>(IPrivate<your component>View.IContextElement element, java.lang.String value)
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.00");
value = df.format(value).toString();

Where i could get know each order types's internal format

Dear expert,
Whcih table or from where could i get to know the internal format for each sales doc type...
For example:
KM equals to CQ
TA equals to OR..
Etc...
For my Z customrized order type, does there also have one internal format order type??
Because we are using LSMW to upload open Sales orders....The order type has to be indicated as internal format...
Thank you very much.

dear hoo laa,
let me divide you question into three parts:
1.A.this is to inform you that there is no different formats for each sales document type.
one single format for all but here basing on the control features of that particular sales document types proto types are different.
Eg: base model is one and the same. like bajaj 110cc, 125cc, 150cc, 180cc, 200cc, 220cc. here we are having only one blue print for all models but proto types are different.
2.
For my Z customrized order type, does there also have one internal format order type??
2.A. the sales order which you have copied from.
3.Because we are using LSMW to upload open Sales orders....The order type has to be indicated as internal format...
3.A. it depends on your requriment how the sales orders are uploaded because you know which field to consider and which field not to consider while uploading.
hope this is help ful for solving your issue.

balajia

Complete export of SAP XI elements to an external, readable format i.e. XML

Within the scope of a project regarding Dependencies of Applications within the company the data, saved in the Integration Directory as well as in the Integration Repository, have to be exported in an external, readable format which can be processed in another application. My question is concerned with the extraction possibilities I have concerning the different components:
Integration Repository: Here we need the data about Message Interfaces, Message Types as well as Data Types. As this information are formally described using WSDL: Does a possibility exist to export all WSDL Documents automatically?
Integration Directory: Here we are interested in the elements: Receiver Determination, Interface Determination, Sender Agreement etc. Does any possibility exist to export these data to i.e. a XML File? Is ABAP necessary?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Sebastian Grunow

External drive format to be used as iTunes library and media folder

Hi everyone, I want to transffer my iTunes to an external drive, do I need to format my external drive to Extended Journal or will an Appleshare be alright? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, good! I only asked because I read that if you transfer you iPhoto Library you need to have your external drive formatted to Extended Journal so I thought that it might be the same for iTunes. And I only read the post after I started to transfer the iTunes to an external drive. Thanks again!

Cannot backup Windows 7 (dual-boot) image to external HD (formated as Mac OS Extended)

I cannot backup my Windows 7 (dual-boot) image to my external HD (formated as Mac OS Extended). I installed MacDrive 8.0 hoping to solve the problem but Windows 7 gives me an error when I try to create a backup: "...drive is not formatted as NTFS, cannot use as backup...".
I also tried making an Image of the Windows 7 partition through Disk Utility but was not allowed to do so.
I am not sure where else to go from here. I need to keep my external hard drive formatted as Mac OS Extended but I also need to backup my Windows 7 partition. I only have the single external at the moment. Is there a way to backup my Windows 7 partition?
Thanks

Winclone will backup your Windows partition to a Mac formatted drive.
Just search for Winclone on this forum and on Goggle.

My external harddisk formatted in one iMac can only read in other iMac. How to make enable read

Why my external harddisk formated as R&W for one imac will remained for use in that imac only. When I bought a new imac the external hard disk end up can Read only. Shouldn't it remain the same as R&W? There is no way you can set back to R&W for my new imac. Why can't Apple make thing simple for us and let the complicated user do the complicated thing? Once formated it should be able to use for all PC and all Mac. How to reset without lossing all my files in the harddisk? I know the easiest way to reset is to reformat it and lose everything. Not user friendly isn't it?

Jimmykkk,
If you want assistance you need to quit the rant and state what you need. Also be specific, you don't mention anything about the old Mac, the kind of EHD, what it is used for etc....
If you want to share a EHD between a PC and Mac you will have many limitations, primarily the size of files you can store.
