Format mask (currency)

Hello guys,
I was wondering what would be the correct place to set a format mask (currency) using Jheadstart 10.1.3.
Regards,
Maik Verbaan

Hi Maik,
We have a "regular expression" field to validate the item, and an error that can be thrown if the input does not comply with the regular expression.

Problem with format mask and currency

Hi,
I am trying to apply a format mask to a report column.
I want my format to be: 4500 ==> $4,500.00
I have tried to apply: FML999G999G999G999G990D00, and i get #4,500.00
Do i have to set a currency parameter somewhere for this format mask to work?
I have done a select * from nls_database_parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET AL16UTF16
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_CURRENCY $
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY AMERICA
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS .,
NLS_CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
NLS_CALENDAR GREGORIAN
NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD-MON-RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
Thanks in advance,
Immanuel

Immanuel,
Here's what I believe is going on:
1) Your database character set is US7ASCII. US7ASCII cannot store a '£' character.
2) Although the real NLS_CURRENCY symbol for NLS_TERRITORY UNITED KINGDOM is '£', it's displaying a converted character of '#', due to the above reason.
3) The currency symbol from the format mask is determined by your NLS_TERRITORY (and hence, your NLS_CURRENCY) settings for the session.
4) Your application is most likely setup to run with an application primary language of English United Kingdom. Thus, your application will always set NLS_TERRITORY to UNITED KINGDOM.
To get your desired result, either:
1) Change your application primary language to en-us
or simpler yet
2) Hard-code the $ sign in your format mask.

Currency format masking

Is it possible to Mask a textfield numeric entry into locale specific currency
mormat.
I have tried it with <netui:formatNumber> tag ,but it is not giving the right
result.
Say if i enter 123457678 in a textfield ,it has to be formatted in UK format i.e,1,23,45,678
How can it be done

I think you will need to do the formatting in javascript. The formatNumber
tag does not support the varying number of digits between commas. The
formatString handles arbitrary string formats but it works left to right and
so it isn't good for numbers.

Thanks john,
Can i format a textfield entry using
<netui:formatNumber country="GB" type="currency" language="en"/>
I have tried it,but while submitting the page ,it displays the
following
error

The typical cause is that the object represented by the expressionis not

Currency Format Mask

I want to make some number field have thier own currency format mask.
I wrote in controller like followed.
OAMessageTextInputBean salary =
(OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("Salary");
if (salary != null) {
salary .setAttributeValue(OAWebBeanConstants.CURRENCY_CODE, new OADataBoundValueViewObject(salary , "Curr"));
I have two development instance.
One is works fine "10,000.00".
But the other is display "10000.00"
I can't understand this situation.

Thank you for your reply.
But I already read that article.
I tried to use OADecimalValidater. but it works on table column.
I want to use the total column like the last of that article.
When i use like following ...
oracle.cabo.ui.validate.Formatter formatter = new OADecimalValidater ("###0.###;-###0.###","#,##0.###;-#,##0.###");
Bean.setAttributeValue(ON_SUBMIT_VALIDATER_ATTR, formatter);
It applied the column in table. I works fine. (10,000.00). but the total column is not appled (10000).
When i use like follwing ...
salary.setAttributeValue(OAWebBeanConstants.CURRENCY_CODE, new OADataBoundValueViewObject(salary , "Curr"));
The column in table and total column are displayed (10000.00).
It applied both.
I think the second is better. but it has some error.
So, I want to find how to use the second without error.
I have two development instance.
One is works fine "10,000.00".
But the other is display "10000.00"
-.-

Applying date and number format mask

I have specified a date format for an attribute and a number format for another attribute of an entity object using Entity Object Editor - Control hints for the attributes.
The date format is:
Format type: Simple Date
Format: dd.MM.yyyy
The number format is:
Format type: Currency
Format: 0,000.00 km
When using <c:out value="${bindings.MyDate}"></c:out> the format mask for the date is applied and it looks good, but when using
<c:forEach var="Row" items="...">
<c:out value="${Row.MyDate}"></c:out>
</c:forEach>
the format mask is not applied.
When it comes to the number format it is not applied no matter what I use.
I have tried setting the format for the view object attributes as well but the result is the same. How do I make this work?

Can it have something to do with <html:form> ? Since it works using <c:out value="${bindings.MyDate}"></c:out> inside a html:form.

Number field - Format mask and validation

APEX 4.2.1
When a page item with source=DB column uses a Number type and a currency format mask (FML999G etc), when the page is rendered, it properly formats the number.
The built-in Item is numeric validation appears to be handle this reasonably ok. i.e. both formatted values and only-digits both validate ok.
But any after-submit validations choke on the non-numeric characters in the field! Please don't tell me I have to a) create shadow items and/or b) replace() out the non-numeric characters in the validation.
After so many years and versions, why doesn't APEX have a simple, declarative, elegant solution to handle such a basic function?
Am I missing something?
Thanks

As described in the item help
"Select or enter a format mask. Note that format mask is applicable only to items of source type Database Column."
In my experience, and this goes for the great web experience, not just the application you're designing - I've found the most data entry fields avoid formatting.
Relevant information is often shown item labels.
Any occasional the business has specifically asked for formatting, I've taken the same approach as I've needed to for years - before web development (and every time you use the to_date/to_char functions for date conversions) - validate the information as per expectation. If you think the user will be adding punctuation to a numeric field, then you must validate accordingly.
This usually means adding TO_CHAR(value_entered, expected_format_mask) to your validation control, instead of presuming APEX will read the user's mind and know the content of that numeric field may not be numeric.
Date entry does the same thing - ultimately there is a session date format that is implicitly used by Oracle to convert an entry of 12-10-2012 to the appropriate date -- ie, is it October or December?
Have a think about the various websites you visit personally - plane bookings, concerts, ebay, etc - how many expect entry to be purely numeric? My recollection is most, except maybe some credit card fields, but most use some sort of regular expression to sort that out. And you can tell the validation is coded respectively.
Generally, I reserve this sort of primping to reporting - even then it's made to be subtle - just like I'd prefer makeup to be ;-)
Most users just care about the data, not how it looks.

Hi Waqas,
In the define Currency form in GL setup, change the existing currency code precision to 2.
this should resolve your issue.

Hi,
Good Evening,
How to set the format mask to text fields based on currencies.

Hi Anil,
i am taking one method for setting the format mask to front end values
like this

String currencyFormattedNumber="";
try {
java.lang.Double num = new java.lang.Double(test);
currencyFormattedNumber = pageContext.getOANLSServices().formatCurrency(num,currency);
catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("the exception is"+e);
return currencyFormattedNumber;
every time call this method
for text fields like this,
OAMessageTextInputBean commval=(OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("commval");
String lesscomm=commval.getValue(pageContext).toString();
String lesscommformat=xxformatmask(lesscomm,currency,pageContext);

Apply a format mask in OA Personalisation

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to apply a format mask to a number field using OA Personalisation? I'd like to change the format mask of the amount fields on the Purchasing Requisitions page.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Which type of format mask you want you didn't specfy, please refer Topic Numbers/Currency in JDev guide.
Please check if this programming unit helps.
public String roundOffToTwoDigit(String number)
DecimalFormat formatter= new DecimalFormat("###.##");
double numberD = Double.parseDouble(number);
return formatter.format(numberD);
public double roundOffToTwoDigit(double number)
try
DecimalFormat formatter= new DecimalFormat("#.00");
formatter.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
formatter.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
return new Double(formatter.format(number)).doubleValue();
catch(java.lang.NumberFormatException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return 0.0;

Number format mask of text item is not applied

Hello all,
I want to format a number like 999G999G999G999G990D00
Is specify the format mask under source of the item. But it is not applied and I don't understand why.
See http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=53873:2 for example
Btw. is it possible to set the format for all numbers in the application at once? I want to have a thousand separator in most cases.
Message was edited by:
Jacob_B

Hello Jacob,
Btw. is it possible to set the format for all numbers
in the application at once? I want to have a thousand
separator in most cases.I am using substitution strings for things like that. You can define some "global" substitution strings on page application definition.
So you just have to put in the format (999G999G999G999G990D00 ) in there once and give it a name. Let's say NUMBER_THOUSAND.
Afterwards you can reference it wherever you need the format e.g. this way:
to_char(10000,'&NUMBER_THOUSAND.').
This way you just have one place where to change the format model.

Tine

Problem with date format mask 'D'

I am experiencing an extremely thorny problem with the date format mask ‘D’. I am trying to use it to check whether today is a Monday. The variable v_temp_day is set to sysdate. For the last 4 weeks the code has behaved erratically – giving a different result at 02:00 than at 10:30 even though it is only taking account of the date. In desperation I inserted a debug statement formatting the date in a variety of ways – with interesting results. Oracle is somehow managing to tell us that today is simultaneously Monday and Tuesday depending on which format mask you choose. Anyone got any thoughts or suggestions?
PROC_ID TO_CHAR(STAMP_TIM
EVENT_SQLERRM
RRHKP010 17092007 02:00:00
TO_NUMBER( TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, D ) ) = 2. TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, D ) = 2. TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, DY ) = MON. TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, DAY )
= MONDAY . TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, Day DD-MON-YYYY HH24MISS ) = Monday 17-SEP-2007 020000. TO_CHAR( v_temp_day, D ) = 2.

Changing the format mask of a numberic field in a report

Hi,
I'm fethcing some numeric values from the DB and displaying them in the report. I'd like to use comma as the decimal separator but I can't get it to work. I'm very lost with all the NLS settings. I've tried using the format mask ad '9999990D00' but it still displays as dot as the decimal separator. What do I have to do in order to use comma as the decimal separator?
Thanks

Try putting
SRW.DO_SQL('alter session set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS='', ''');
in the Before Report Trigger.
The setting might be reused for the next report if Reports is set to reuse the database connection.
To avoid this, I guess you change it back to default in the After Report Trigger.
Hope this helps!

Using a datepicker with format mask MM/YYYY gives error on submit

I'm trying to use a datepicker with the format MM/YYYY.
The item is linked to a database column of type DATE.
The items displays correctly (month and year), but when submitting the page, I get an "ORA-01843: not a valid month" error from the built-in DML process.
Shouldn't Apex apply the same date format mask to the item value when trying to save it to the database?

Date format mask in Enter-Query mode

Hi,
I'm developing a Form which is able to query the masterblock from a detail-item.
The queryable detail-item is a date field and has a datatype: DATETIME. When a new record is entered the values in the date field are stored in the database like "18-10-2002 15:04:02"
When the form is in enter_query mode the user must be able to enter 18-10-2002 (DD-MM-YYYY format mask, so without time mask). When execute the query with this date format the query is not able to find data.
I used a Key-Execute-Query on the detailblock like this:
SELECT 1.COLUMN
, 2.COLUMN
INTO :1.COLUMN
, :2.COLUMN
FROM TABLE.1
, TABLE.2
WHERE 1.COLUMN = 2.COLUMN
AND TO_CHAR(1.COLUMN,'dd-mm-yyyy') = to_date(:avg.datum,'dd-mm-yyyy');
Can anyone please help me?
Regards,
Ronny.

Hi Ronny,
I'm not sure to have got exactly your issue (especially why you have to use that select in master-detail query), but I suggest you to substitute
...AND TO_CHAR(1.COLUMN,'dd-mm-yyyy') = to_date(:avg.datum,'dd-mm-yyyy');
with
...TRUNC(1.COLUMN) = TO_DATE(:avg.datum,'dd-mm-yyyy');
To be fair, I would use it in the where clause, even if you set it dinamically.
Let us know,
Marco

Josh,
Your end result on page 58 and the instructions in that document link don't seem to correlate. Regardless, I:
1) Copied page 58 to page 158 in your application.
2) Removed the BLOB format mask from your report link.
3) Changed your query to:
select "ROWID",
"DOC_ID",
"DATE_ADDED",
"USER_ID",
dbms_lob.getlength("FILE_CONTENT") "FILE_CONTENT",
"FILE_NAME",
"MIME_TYPE",
"DOC_NUMBER"
from "#OWNER#"."DOCUMENT_LIBRARY"
4) Specified the BLOB format mask for the FILE_CONTENT column.
Seems to work just fine now (on page 158, that is).
