Format mask 999D99 in Oracle Form issue

I have a textbox in Oracle form, with format 999.99 => means that we can input 0.99 0r 100.00
But now, I want to input only as 100 or 0.99, I don't want any .00 if i type 100.
Just i want 100 as 100 and 100.1 as 100.1 and 100.11 as 100.11. I don't want 100 as 100.00
i have tried format masks like 990D00 , 999.99, B999D99 , B990D00, 990D99, but all the formats is displays input 100 as 100.00, Please let me know which format mask will resolve my issue.

In this case, it is allowing more than 2 decimal places. i want maximum of 2 decimals. i have used lowest as 0 and highest as 999.99

Printing formatted text from an Oracle form

I'm trying to print formatted text from an Oracle form without using the standard menu print. The print button on the menu prints out the text and the actual form. I just want to print the text that is displayed on the form. I would like to add a print button to the form. Is there a print function or event in PL/SQL?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Jason

If you are interested in the content of the field you can loop over them (next_item built in) and write their content into a file using the TEXT_IO built in.
for nicer outputs check out Oracle Reports on OTN.

Oracle forms issue in IE8

Hi All,
I 've installed 11.5.10.2 in my vmware machine multinode(server1:database,cm server2:form,web server) on redhat4.There is no issue with installation.I have created the softlink from mozilla browser to $COMMON_TOP/util/java/1.4/...../libjavaplugin_oji.I can access forms ,and other web pages from the linux machine.But when I tried to access applications from windows7(64bit) which is the basic os,the oracle application login page displayed(IE8),after that when we try to access forms,it tried to install jintiator,and closed with "Inernet has stopped working" Message. When I searched in google ,they said ie8 is not supported for oracle applications yet.Is there any workaround to fix this issue?
and also please explain about formsweb.cfg and appsweb.cfg.What is the difference between these two files?

Need Format masks which can be added to oracle form fields

Hi All,
I needed a list of all the format masks present for Oracle Forms fields. The problrm that i face currently that when I apply masking (999g999g999d99) the values in the text item field on the form side are no more left justified but shift towards the center of the field. PLease help me out.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav,
You are on the wrong forum. Post your question on the Forms forum.

Portal Form: Number Format Mask Accepted Values

Hi, i'm trying to format the way numbers are displayed in our forms, specifically instead of 50,000.00 we want 50,000 - without the .00.
I cannot find anything on format masks in the portal documentation, and the standard oracle masks I have looked up such as "NNNN" etc don't seem to be supported.
Trial and error has yielded a mask of : 99,999,999 which does get rid of the decimal, but introduces a problem where if the value is smaller than the mask it is shifted into the middle of the field (leading spaces are being added for every missing unit that is specified in the mask), but obviously if a smaller mask definition is used then larger numbers appear as ###### which is worse than the leading zero problem.
Where in the documentation can I find the accepted forms of numerical number format masks for use in portal forms?
Thanks..

Let me know if you find a solution to this. I even asked my Oracle instructor and she couldn't tell me how to setup a date format mask. This is what she gave me which doesn't work, but I'm not saying I'm the quickest race car at the track. lol
"Hi,
Try the following format mask "("099")""-"099"-"0999. They have an example of this on page 7-12. I'm not sure if OTN may have a listing of any Forms format mask. Search under Forms Developer and see if you find anything.
Take care,

Calling Sql*Loader from oracle Form builder

How do i call sql* loader from my forms to import the external data in different formats into my existing database?
Specify the flexibility of sql* loader to import external data from .txt files or .xls files.
Would be thankful if certain examples are given along with the answer.

Hi,
1. First you have to create seperate ctl (Control files) which maps to different file formats
2. Using Oracle Forms,
2a) You can use the 'HOST' command to execute the command line ie. In this case executing
SQL*Loader script
2b) You also have the feature in ORACLE forms to read text files and load the data into
ORACLE db.
This can be achieved by using TEXT_IO package which comes with ORACLE Forms.
Hope this helps

Problem Querying Oracle Forms Using a Date Field and a Format Mask

Hello,
We are experiencing a problem with Oracle Forms that I was wondering if you can help me with.
We have several Forms that have single database blocks assigned to Oracle tables. The Forms are queryable and one of the fields we’re querying on is assigned to a field on the base table which is Not Null and has a Type of DATE. We are storing date/time information in this field on the database table. The item on the form is set up as a Date field with a Maximum Length of 7, a Format Mask ‘MMDDYY’ and having a Query Length of 10.
We’ve seen a discrepancy in how these fields are used to query the base table block. On some user’s computers they are able to enter a 6 digit date followed by the % sign (e.g. ‘091808%’) and they get the expected results. Other users get ‘FRM-40301: Query caused no records to be retrieved. Re-enter’. Do you know why we are experiencing this difference?
- The Oracle Database version we are running is Release 10.1.0.5.0.
- The Forms Developer version that we’re experiencing the problem with is 4.5.10.15.2
Thanks,
Kris

There is no obvious reason that I can see.
Version 4.5 is very old so you might have problems calling Oracle Support. If you can reproduce the same problem o0n 10.1.2 you should call have them analyze the problem.

Oracle Number and Java Format Mask Issue

I have a oracle number column, in my view object it is of type BigDecimal and the query column type is NUMBER
I put the following format mask in the hints section
#####.00
with a format type of Number,
Yet when I run the application, I always get the following error
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "-3750.00"
Anyone any ideas why this does not work?
Regards
Orlando

Hi,
try with <af:convertNumber>
See:

Is there a way to override the format-mask error message? (oracle forms 6i)

It seem that if data is enter in a field and doesnt follow the format mask schema. it populates it's default error message.
was wondering if i can over ride that. and custimize my own error message/validation.

Hi PandaOracle
what i do recommand is creating a table called e.g handel_errors having
Serial PK
Error_id
Error_textThen using a code in On-error Trigger & On-message trigger to select from table so any error no can be stored and selected from the db this is the most formal practice i used to use in any application.
Example
DECLARE
alert_message VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
BEGIN
    SELECT Error_text
      INTO alert_message
      FROM handel_errors
     WHERE msg_code = message_code;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN No_Data_Found THEN
      alert_message:=message_type||'-'|| To_Char(message_code) || ': ' || message_text;
END;
MESSAGE (alert_message); -- Or any alert as previously mentioned
MESSAGE (alert_message);
END; Hope this helps,

Convert Oracle date format masks to Java format masks

Have an application based on Oracle that stores data in text form (for display) and in native date format. It is being migrated to another application with a Java based front end that can only use Java format masks to display the dates in the desired display format.
Is there a way to translate the Oracle format masks to Java? I can do this in SQL or PL/SQL using the database or in Java.
I really don't want to write detailed code to parse the masks, although if parsers are available to take an oracle mask into its metadata (minute, year, etc), it may be possible for me to write the code.
This seems like something that must have been done many times over the years. I would prefer to reuse workable code rather than reinventing the wheel.
To be clear, I do not need to alter data or convert dates shown in string form. Just the format masks so the new app will display dates in the same manner as the old app. Fortunately, both apps handle interpreting the format masks in their native technology, so it is just converting the format mask.

kenmadsen wrote:
Both applications have a varchar2 column and a date column. A date picker selects and returns the date in native format for storage and the application uses the mask to format the varchar2 column for display (and storage). The old application uses an Oracle date format mask DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI and the new application uses Java date masks (DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm). (I may not have the translation from HH24 to hh correct).
The date column and the display column store the same information (a date), but one is stored natively and the other is displayed as the application administrator want the particular row to be formatted for display. (the mask is a column in the same table as the other 2 columns). Each row has characteristics (other columns) that determines what the data is and how it should be shown (some things need to show time; others only the date)
So the problem is, when migrating, the new application cannot render the dates as the old app did because "Mon" is Oracle format, not Java format.
No data is being converted in the migration, except for the mask itself. Both applications have the same record structure with respect to these columns and they both use the mask to generate the formatted varchar2 data for display in the application and storage.too bad you insist on try to describe with words rather than actual CODE.
Please explain again why this is an Oracle problem & NOT a Java problem?
Oracle RDBMS is a data repository & can't automagically change data content for you.

Need profile option for determining DateTime format in Oracle Forms

Hello All,
I also have requirement where I need to read the date format in which Oracle Forms displays date values.
As per updates to [this thread|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10285119] , I just need to read the profile option "ICX: Date format mask" ("ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK"), and reformat the date value to my required target format.
This is good for the date type of fields. But what about the profile option that determines "datetime" formats in Oracle Forms ?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
