'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' retfield is of type CHAR?

Hi.
For the function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST', the import parameter retfield seems to be a char import parameter. However, when I try to use a char variable to provide the value for retfield, I encounter an error. Why is that so? Thanks.
DATA: CONCAT_RFIELD1(20) TYPE C VALUE 'LOAD_ID'.

EXPORTING

Error: The function module interface allows you to specify only fields of a particular type under "RETFIELD". The field "CONCAT_RFIELD1" specified here is a different field type

Hi
The Function Module that you specified provides an F4 help that returns the values that have selected in an internal table.
This FM(Function Module) is quite useful when you are programming your own F4 help for a field.
the following example may be of some help to you:

How to sort a column of type CHAR

Hi,
I have a report for which the o/p is displayed in ALV grid format.There is one column in the O/p strcuture which is "No of days".Based on certain conditions,i need to display the value for some of the days as Negative e.g. " - 45".Becasuse of this,I have declared the field for the "No of days" of the type "CHAR".
Now when i sort(using ALV grid SORT function) the list on basis of this column,it doesnt give me the correct o/p.
CAN anyone tell me how do i handle this?I want the list to be sorted correctly on basis of the "No of days" column.

Hi,
Amit,
Apologies for violation of rule.
All,
For getting the negative sign in the front of the no,i.e. "-45",i had declared as CHAR.
Is there any way we can get the o/p in the form "-45" and not "45-" as well as use the SORT functionality?

Loading decimal value to an infoobject of type char

I have an extract structure with field timestamp, which is of type dec and length 15. Now i want to load this value to an infoobject in ODS. But this infoobject is of type char and length 18. when infopackage loading is scheduled it is giving the following error. Record 1 :InfoObject /BIC/IFITMSTMP does not contain alpa-conforming value 20061206084944.
Is it because i tried to move a dec valu into a char field with a different length? If so how will i load a decimal value of length 15 to a char of length 18. Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

if u r using BI7.0
go to the datasource of the cube
in the general info tab of the datasource
there is a check box with PSA not typed
check it
if u check it all the values from the external source will be converted into character format irrespective of their data type

Data type-Char?

Hi experts,
A simple query. Do the data type CHAR accepts the values like 8923, 452A, etc? while creating an infoobject.?
Thanks in advance.

Yes it accepts .
for data consistency you have to maintain alfa conversion.

If DB Column java.sql.Types=CHAR = Workshop autogen EJB CMP Filed=Boolean

Hi everybody 
When a user automatically
creates/generates an Entity Bean via BEA Workshop EJB Project option: â€˜new
Entity bean from database tableâ€™ and DB Table Column is of type CHAR,
Workshop creates a @ejbgen:cmp-field of Java type Boolean, NOT of
Character!
I completely agree that the developer
must be acquainted with the Data Base and DB Tables as well and he can manually
correct SET & GET
Boolean to Character in EJB source code view or heâ€™ll receive an error if he
tries to setFieldName(String/Character) in ejb
methods.
But suppose that a developer has
urgently received an order to build an EJB Project for a thousand of DB Tables
and he hasnâ€™t been acquainted with all of them. He has created the EJBs via 
â€˜new -> Entity bean from database tableâ€™. He has created some EJB Finders,
for example a finder:Â ejbgen:finder Collection findAll().
(Suppose he hasnâ€™t used group-name finder property)
He has invoked findAll()
method and depends on the JDBC Driver used, he will receive an 
ERROR,
printed within the Server start console at least OR the result after 
getFieldName() will be 'false', not an expected char
symbol.
Anxious conclusion: 
If Â DB Column Â java.sql.Types
= CHAR Â Â Â thenÂ Â
getJavaObjectType = BooleanÂ then corresponding
EJB CMP FiledÂ will always be Â Â BooleanÂ in BEA Workshop !
Following description considers the
PROBLEM:
Class
weblogic.jdbc.utils.schema.Column from weblogic.jar and its method
String getJavaType() has a switch(getType()) with case:
Â if(this.getSize() == 1) 
Â Â Â return "boolean"; 
else 
Â Â Â return "String";
and 

another Â method String getJavaObjectType() 
{
String s = this.getJavaType();
...
Â Â Â Â
if(s.equals("boolean")) 
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â return "Boolean";
Â Â Â Â
if(s.equals("char")) 
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â return "Character";
... } 
but according to switch(getType()) which
has NOTÂ a 'case' return char, 
'Character' will never be returned, so:
@ejbgen:cmp-field of Java type 
Character will never be generated by Workshop.
More often than not Â Iâ€™ve
ran into this little but disturbing problem, so Iâ€™ve corrected 
weblogic.jdbc.utils.schema.Column.getJavaType switch case as:
â€¦
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
case 1: Â Â Â Â // '\001'Â //CHAR

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â if(this.getSize() == 1)
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Â Â Â Â Â return "char";Â 
â€¦
private
static final boolean 
CHAR_TO_BOOLEAN = false;Â Â Â Â //as
a field variable
â€¦
Â 
Using this
correction and precompiled class Iâ€™ve built and tested a lot of projects w/o
problems so far.
Best regards: George Moykin
P.S. I appologize to site Admins for posting the same topic in EJB forum, but it refers to EJBs too.

Hi, 
In your database, we have some columns of CHAR type and this is the decision of our DB architects. I understand the case â€˜maleâ€™ or â€˜femaleâ€™, true or false, either; but only if I must choose between 2 variants. Our DB columns contain char symbols such as â€˜:â€™, â€˜;â€™,â€™-â€™ etc. and for some inner purposes our architects decided DB columns to be of type CHAR, not VARCHAR. In this case, the Workshop transformation â€˜CHAR to BOOLEANâ€™ doesnâ€™t do useful work. So, Iâ€™ve decided to modify some weblogic.jar classes (as described) and now Iâ€™m able to generate Entity EJB from DBMS Tables w/o manual intervention.

Wrong XML OraDbType code for database column type CHAR

Hi there!
I have a strange issue with the XML retrieved from an Oracle DB. I'm using OraDB11g and my problem is described next:
When I create a table with a CHAR type columns and get the XML from a query the returns a cursor with the table rows, I get the supposed right OraDbType code 104:
Table creation:
create table AA_Table1
ID number(2,0) not null,
ColumnA char(1) null,
ColumnB char(1) default 'S' not null,
constraint PK_AA_Table1
primary key ( ID )
tablespace "X"
storage
compress for all operations
and the returned XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<xs:schema id="o_ListaTable" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata" xmlns:msprop="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msprop">

</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
BUT...when I insert another column on the table, changing it, after that, I get a wrong OraDBType code on the returned XML for the new added column...
Added new column:
alter table AA_Table1 add ColumnC char(1) default 'S' not null;
The returned XML is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
My question is: why is this OraDbType code different? Check that the same column type CHAR(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'S' is created on table create and the OraDbType is ok, so I think this can be a bug...Because of this, I cannot do a right XML parser to convert CHAR(1) columns in other type I want, in this case, to convert it to .Net bool type. My parser now is ignoring the OraDbType code 126, because this is also the code used for nvarchar2, and I won't convert nvarchar2 to bool.
How can I solve this problem?
Some additional tests I've done:
Have also inserted new columns nullable/not nullable and with default value:
alter table AA_Table1 add ColumnD char(1);
alter table AA_Table1 add ColumnE char(1) not null;
alter table AA_Table1 add ColumnF char(1) default 'S';
And the returned XML was:

All OraDbTypes are right, except that one for the column not null and with default value. Any solution for this issue?
If I change the type of the column that returns the wrong code (ColumnC) to CHAR(1) null default 'S' and then change it again to the original type CHAR(1) not null default 'S', I get the right ORaDbType code 104 as expcted and not the 126. This behaviour is strange - can this be an Oracle bug?
I am using the following Oracle DLL and respective version:
oci.dll (version 11.2.0.1)
Oracle.DataAccess.dll (version 4.112.3.0)
orannzsbb11.dll (version 11.0.0.1)
oraocci11.dll (version 11.2.0.3)
OraOps11w.dll (version 2.112.3.0)

Have you tried using minOccurs="1" ? Since the column is not null, it is guaranteed 1 value, correct?

List of characters not supported for a field search of type char

Hi,
I have a field of type char.
When we create entries for that field in a table we use special characters like &, etc. When searched it is not supported and not displayed in results.
I suppose it might be because SAP can support for characters of specific ASCII codes.
If you have any list of the ASCII codes supported in search, kindly let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Jaisish

Hi Jaisish,
as far as I know, there are two "special" characters that act as jokers in a field search
+: standing for one character
*: standing for zero or more characters
You can search for these characters into the content of a field, if you "escape" them. The symbol for escaping is "#" (before the special character + or *).
For example, if you search for "#*", this will search all entries with an asterisk in its content.
I hope this helps. Kind regards,
Alvaro

How can i validate input number into a Field of type char in oracle form?

How can i validate input number into a Field of type char in oracle form?

i have tried doing that, but still the field except numbersthere was an error in that code. it should have been

As Jingyang said, you cannot sum a non numeric field. Cast it to a numeric first (INT maybe?)

How to change a field of type CHAR of a database table to DATS

Dataelement of data type char but accepts only integers

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where quantity field in output is editable and the user wants the quantity field printed without thousand separator. If i take a char field and display the field is editable then user may mistakenly type a,bcd...z/ special characters which it should not capture. Is there any char data type data element which accepts only integers. Because after that i need to save that value in z database table quantity field.
Please share your suggestions.

I have a scenario where quantity field in output is editable and the user wants the quantity field printed without thousand separator.
I'm a bit lost with your statement, as you consider changing the data type it sounds like you have control over the program and thus most likely also over the forms (assuming that printing means sending some output to a printer). In that case I'd first consider keeping the quantity field as is and change the output logic (e.g. print program or form) so that the group (thousands) separator doesn't appear for that quantity field (and refrain from changing the field definition). (Similarly if it's just concerning the output of a field on the screen then an appropriate output mask/template for that screen field should be the right way to go.)

Difference between Data Type Char & VarChar

Hi Experts,
I a design document that I have, some of the Data Types are mentioned as CHAR(e.g.CHAR(4)), and a few others as VARCHAR(e.g.VARCHAR(20)), can you let me know what is the difference between the two.And how is such an object to be developed in BW seeing that we don't have a DataType called Varchar in BW?
Thanks

Hi
The char is a fixed-length character data type, the varchar is a variable-length character data type.
Because char is a fixed-length data type, the storage size of the char value is equal to the maximum size for this column. Because varchar is a variable-length data type, the storage size of the varchar value is the actual length of the data entered, not the maximum size for this column.
You can use char when the data entries in a column are expected to be the same size.
You can use varchar when the data entries in a column are expected to vary considerably in size.
but that is no need in SAP BW, any how you are going to assign the length of the variable while creating...

Bex Report issue - transaction data of type Char not dispalyed complete

Hi BI Expers ,
I have one issue related to Bex reports here
I have complete data loaded in DSO , there is one field Job Title which is having a length of 60 char . When I am executing the report in Bex Analyzer , the value for Job Title is getting truncated after 30 characters . Although full 60 chararacters are loaded in DSO still I am not able to present them in reports .
Can some one help here , whether this is Analyzer limitation or is there some setting to fix this issue .
Regards
Anurag

Hi Anurag,
Check the Output length of the object that is giving out put as 30 charecters.
And check in Business Explorer tab option for BEx Description short, medium or High.
Hope this helps.

Radix Sort for Type Chars

I have a code for sorting Radix Sort of type Interger but im not sure how to modify it to sort Characters. This is my code for type Int:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
public class RadixSort {
 private static final int RADIX = 10;
 private ArrayList[] buckets = new ArrayList[RADIX];
 public RadixSort() {
 for( int i = 0 ; i < RADIX; i++ ) {
 buckets[i] = new ArrayList();
 clearBuckets();
 private void clearBuckets() {
 for( int i = 0 ; i < RADIX; i++ ) {
 buckets.clear();
private boolean distribute( Integer[] array, int position ) {
// build the divisor
int divisor = 1;
while( position >= 1 ) {
divisor *= RADIX;
position--;
boolean done = true;
for( int i = 0 ; i < array.length; i++ ) {
int val = (array[i].intValue()/divisor);
if ( val != 0 ) done = false;
int bin = val % RADIX;
buckets[bin].add( array[ i ] );
return done;
private void collect( Integer[] array ) {
int index = 0; // next available position in array
for( int i = 0 ; i < RADIX; i++ ) {
Iterator<Integer> it = buckets[i].iterator();
while( it.hasNext() ) {
array[ index ] = it.next();
it.remove();
index++;
// what happens if this removed?
if ( index >= array.length ) return;
public void sort( Integer[] array ) {
clearBuckets(); // is this necessary?
int position = 0;
boolean done;
do {
done = distribute( array, position );
position++;
collect( array );
} while ( !done );

As in the maximum size of a string?
Do you mean characters or actual byte size?

'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' retfield is of type CHAR?
