Formating in select

Hi,
Is there anyway I can do the following in select statement.
I select a column from a table say the value being 12.555.
select percentage from tablea.
I want to show it as 12.55500%. is this possible.
If its 12.55 it should show as 12.55000%.
Thanks,
Indu

SQL> select * from t;

Oracle 10g - Date format in SELECT query for CFOUTPUT

Hello, everyone.
The project that I am working on in the dev environment is connected to an Oracle 11g database, but the production side is Oracle 10g.
I have a page that is erroring in production (but not development) when it gets to a date that it needs to display.
A co-worker mentioned that, in 10g, if a date/time is being SELECTed, you have to put it in to_char(), so I did that.
But it's still erroring, and I'm not getting an error message, so I'm assuming that I have an incorrect format for the date in the SELECT.
What is the proper format for SELECTing a date/time when using to_char()? Right now, I have SELECT to_char(create_date,'MM-DD-YYYY HH:MI') FROM tableA . Is this not correct for CF to output?
Thank you,
^_^

Please see my original post ("I have a page erroring in production (but not in development) when it gets to a date that it needs to display.") Sorry if it came across as vague. It made sense, to me, when I typed it. But, then, I'm usually typing fast just to get the question out there, when I'm in a hurry.
Haven't done a CFDUMP, yet, as every time I make a change in development that needs to be tested in production, I have to notify my supervisor that there are files that need to be copied into production, which can sometimes take a while, so I try to do troubleshooting on dev side - it's a pain in the you-know-what, but that's the kind of environment I'm working in.
As it turns out, changing the format in the SELECT to_char() did the trick. If anyone else has this issue with Oracle 10g, I'm now using SELECT to_char(create_date,'YYYY/MM/DD HH:MI') FROM tableA, and now the CFOUTPUT is processing the whole page. I guess the MM-DD-YYYY threw CF into a tizzy, breaking the process?
Anyhoo, it's working, now. Thank you, Dan and Adam, for your thoughts on this.

Format of select-option

Hi all,
is it possible to use a select-option in the "using" part of an form routine?
I would like to create a form routine where I can format the select-option into a string to write the result on screen.
I have multiple select-options but want to create a single form routine to handle them all.
For instance, when I write a Debitor select option it looks like:
Debitor IBT00000000010000000004
But I want to show it like this (after calling a form routine which uses a select-option and returns a string):
Debitor between 1 and 4.
When I want to reach the sign part of the select-option in the form routine
I get an DataObject has no structure and therefore got no "sign" component error message.
Can you folks help me with this?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings Fred.

Hi Fred!
Your problem is the <i>generic</i> interface, I see.
You have to work with the length of the field. I once had a FM for this, but I didn't copy the coding :-(.
Here the logic:
describe the field length.
The first is including / excluding.
The 2nd and 3rd is between / equal...
The rest 'field3((length-3)/2)' and field3+(length-3)/2((length-3)/2) are your fields.
E.g. length 15, so it's field3(6) and field9(6).
Use conversion_exit_alpha_output for display explicit, convert date, time and quantities explicit, too.
Hope you got the picture,
Christian

Which format to select for burning DVD?

Hi to all. I have been trying to burn a few of my projects, 3 to be precise, onto a DVD. Tried out Finder>Burn folder, but found out that the finished DVD would play only on computers; as I need to have one that can be viewed on normal DVD players I tried to do so in Toast Titanium in which I was faced with the problem of which of these above formats to select:
Can anyone help me?
Further, after [I think] I selected MPEG-4 player and then faced this hurdle...a notification to this effect that I was making a DVD of PAL and [?] NTSC videos which may not play in all players. Not knowing what to do I just clicked OK and found out that I was able to view it on my small [low cost as well] DVD player.

I have Toast 10 and I don't see your drop down menu you see.
1. Select DVD Video icon from the bar of icons on the top left (it's the third one).
2. Drag your video file to the window on the right, or click the Add button on the bottom of that window.
3. Select menu and auto play options on bottom lelft pane.
4. Click the big red button.

How to format the "Selected" portion of a button

I created a simple menu screen with 4 chapter buttons (a jpeg for each chapter) and I'm trying to format each one so that it is highlighted when selected. Problem is, the highlighted area is significantly larger than the jpeg it is supposed to cover and actually bleeds onto its neighboring buttons. When I try to size it down, the jpeg shrinks along with it! Also, there's a strange little line that appears at the bottom of each jpeg when selected (it looks like a thin button, but there is no way to delete it or format it either).
I tried going through the DVDSP manual & index but nothing seems applicable.
Is there a way to format the "highlight" on the menu button/jpeg so that it only covers the jpeg?
Thanks for any assistance!

The button areas will always be rectangular so there is a chance of overlap. One of the ways for the most control is to use an overlay and keep in mind how close the buttons will be so they do not overlap. For instance the highligh can be an arrow, or an arrow and text.

Problem with date format in select query

Hi
I am caught by a stupid problem, please help me
I am writing a queries
SELECT * FROM VOUCHERS WHERE VDATE = '07-AUG-08'
SELECT * FROM VOUCHERS WHERE VDATE = '07-AUG-2008'.
both are working fine in SQL Developer but returning error when called from JDBC Driver.
First query doesn't return any record while it is supposed to
Second returns error: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
What i remember, at least second query was working previously but what happend, i dont know
i didn't change Oracle default datetime format or any other defaults

It is a common issue most people don't realize what Oracle does with a query like this. You're comparing strings to dates. Use TO_DATE to convert your string '07-AUG-08' to a date. If you don't, you tell Oracle to convert the string to a date by itself. It may work sometimes but like you've experienced, it is not a very robust or elegant approach.
Try something like this:
SELECT *
FROM vouchers
WHERE VDATE = TO_DATE('07-AUG-2008','DD-MON-YYYY').You can even provide a third parameter to TO_DATE, but it's less frequently used. I let you figure it out.
And a tip: the "urgent" keyword might act against you.

Allowing a User to choose the ALV layout format on selection-screen

Pass the variant name in the ALV display FM .

How to insert sysdate in 24hr format using select

hi,
I m just modifying my previous question
what if I have to insert the date using
insert into abc select sysdate from dual;
where abc is having one column sdate of type date.
this date inserted through the query to be inserted in 24hr
format.

a date is just a number, it doesn't have a format. so your
insert string will work. to see the time element in 24 hour
clock all you have to do is
select to_char (col1, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from abc;
easy.

Forcsing number formatting in Select statement

Hi. I have a select statement that truncates a number field and compares it to a parameter, but it doesn't work in InfoView or as a scheduled report in Crystal Server.
The string is :
left(totext({gl_begbal.prd-yr-no}),4) startswith totext(year({?Pm-?Period Ending Date}))
The number field is yyyymm, but Crystal Reports displays the field as 201,006, which causes the select statement to fail. When I set Options, Fields, Number to whole number, CR displays it without the comma and the statement works perfectly. However, when I bring the report into CServer or fun it in InfoView, the report fails again, and I can't find any formatting options in either Server or InfoView settings.
Is there a way to forcse the format to whole number within the select formulae?
Thanks!
Robin

Post your question to the BOE Admin forum. Likely what is happening is the BOE server has a different default date format.

Formating page select in a Pivot Table

We have a Pivot Table view that has 12 columns, so it is a bit large (more or less like 2 screens wide).
The Page select is displayed in the middle of screen so the user doesn´t see it right away... he has to roll the screen and then see/select it...
Pls...is there a way to format the Page select in the Pivot table to the left ?
txs.
Antonio

Hi,
A pivot table view of this data would look something like this by default:
Now switch back to the criteria tab and edit the ‘column properties’ associated with your fact measure. Choose the ‘Data Format’ tab, tick to override the default format and choose ‘Custom’.
It seems that the syntax for this custom format is positive-value-mask (semi colon) negative-value-mask (semi colon) null-mask. So this means we have a few options.
E.g. if you want zeros (0) instead of null then enter:
*#,##0;-#,##0;0*　
If you want a dash/strike (-) then you could enter:
#,##0;-#,##0;-
Or if you want to add a custom message then something like this would work:
#,##0;-#,##0;no data

IMac OS 8.5 Boot Issues - Install/Format HD/Select Startup Disc?

Hello,
I have a used iMac that had OS 8.5 installed. When I first booted, it appeared there was no OS installed (flashing icon - folder with "?" and Folder with OS icon). Attempted to install OS 8.5, but get the same error after reboot.
Tried to use 'Initialize Disk' to reformat the hard drive, then installed OS 8.5. Same error on reboot. Have tried using the Startup Disk (?) option to select the hard drive, but there appears to be no option save to click.
I don't know about Mac and Master Boot Records or if there is a Mac CMOS. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dave

Just might be a hardware issue. Here is what I tried this morning:
Reblessed system, booting from install CD.
System Error on reboot - address
* Occasionally on this error, the system will not reboot then the "reboot" button is pressed. Power button non-responsive. Have to shut down the old fashioned way - yank the power cord.
Startup from Install CD with no extentions.
Initiated HD, 1 partition, Mac Standard.
Rebooted system.
Began Installation with "recommended installation" for all items.
Reboot - same flashing icon.
Boot from install CD, address error.
Reboot with no extentions.
Erased HD (Selected HD Icon | Special -> Erase Disc)
Reboot with install CD
Ran Disk First Aid on HD - checked out fine.
Initialized with 2 partitions:
- 3GB MacOS Standard
- 3GB MacOS Extended
Ran disk First Aid - no problems.
* On a lark, I ran Disk First Aid on the Install CD and got the following:
Problem: Custom icon is missing,452,328
Problem: Custom icon is missing,453,327
Volume iMac Install needs to be repaired.
Began Installation again anyway...

Formatting a SELECT

I would like to do this:
SET ECHO OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET HEADING OFF
SET TERM OFF
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET LINESIZE 1000
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
SPOOL SELECT.LIST
SELECT FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3 FROM TABLE;
SPOOL OFF;
EXIT;
But I need fields separated by a tab...
Is there a sqlplus command to get this?
The next is not a good solution...
SELECT FIELD1||chr(9)||FIELD2||chr(9)||field3 from table;
:-)

Sorry, bluefrog..
It doesn't work properly...
SET ECHO OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET HEADING OFF
SET TERM OFF
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET LINESIZE 1000
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
SET TAB ON;
SPOOL c:\SELECT.LIST;
SELECT 1,2,3,4,5 FROM DUAL;
SPOOL OFF;
The result file is...
1 2 3 4 5
(several spaces between fields)

BOXI3.0 How to choose certain data format from selected field?

Hello there!
Its been a while since my last post the question.
I have one question.
I have this PO_ID field. Example of the data:
1. 72998
2. FF15376
3. 71794R
4. WSSC 092008/0004
5. WC/ 092008/0290
6. MP20080911-1187
There are a lot of style or non fix data format inside PO_ID field.
My question is how can I choose only PO_ID type no.1 (72998) only show in the webi?
Filtering is one way but what about formula or variable or any other method?
Hope the expert can help me.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Alias

Alias,
If there is any other simple solution, do inform
Of course there is more than one way to skin a cat. Here are a couple of ways:
=if(substr[Po_ID];1;1) inlist ("0";"1";"2";"3";"4";"5";"6";"7";"8";"9");"Number";"Not a number")
=if(substr[PO_ID];1;1)>="0" and substr([Po_ID];1;1)<="9";"Number";"Not a number")
Personally I have more confidence in the first example, but the second example may work reliably. It's just that I've used the first method more often...
Thanks,
John
