Format NUMBER fields in SQLPLUS

Hi All,
I'm trying to extract a table into a file (fixed-length fields) with SQLPLUS. The column is 'DEPTNO', defined as NUMBER(2), So I did:
select to_char(DEPTNO, 'FM09') from table;
But this always gave me 3-character long output. I expect it to be 2-character long. Given the definition and the fmt I used. I can't figure out why. I also tried '09' and even RTRIM and LTRIM. Didn't work.
I had the following settings:
set space 0
set colsep ""
Am i missing something here?
I'll appreciate your help in advance.
Thanks!

The number formatting functions leave an extra character for a potential sign. This is an old "feature".
If you have access to Oracle's bug database there is information and some cross references in bug 287153 you may wish to review.

Whole number field formatted as timezone in CRM 2013 SP1UR1 gives error on saving

Hi,
I added a whole number field formatted as time zone to the appointment form and when I save the record I get an error saying
Crm Exception: Message: An unexpected error occurred., ErrorCode: -2147220970, InnerException: System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OptionSetValue' to type 'System.IConvertible'.
This error is coming from the timezone field and only happens when I have data in the field. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks

More info, the error occurs on pipeline stage 30 of the Book or Reschedule message and the same thing happens in CRM 2015. I've started a thread on connect with URL
https://connect.microsoft.com/dynamicssuggestions/feedback/details/1128206/crm-2013-sp1ur1-cant-handle-the-timezone-field
This must be rather new because I've tried it in CRM 2011 UR late and it did not occur there, I haven't tried CRM 2013 RTM though so I can't say if it's a CRM 2013 or a CRM 2013 SP1UR1 issue.
BTW, the 2015 org was a complete vanilla so I've pretty much ruled out custom code as a culprit :)

Date format(for number fields)

Hi there.
I'm creating some sql queries wich will be executed by some users throught the Oracle client PL/SQL, and I need to format some fields in date format.
Those fields are NUMBER(8) and they are in that format: "YYYYMMDD"
The format I want to put that information is: "DD.MM.YYYY".
What's the easiest way to do that?
The version that I'm using is Oracle 9.2.0.4.0.
Thanks by the way.

Hi,
Use TO_CHAR to convert the number to a string,
use TO_DATE to convert the string to a date, then
use TO_CHAR to format the date.
TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( TO_CHAR ( numeric_column
                            , 'fm00000000'
                  , 'YYYYMMDD'
        , 'DD.MM.YYYY'
        )This shows why storing dates in some other kind of column is a bad idea.

Web app Number field: How to format a number as currency in Business catalyst

Not a coder. I have a Number field I have created in my web app, please how can I format this field to display the figures like this 999,999,999,999 (#120,000,000) random figure. Help will be appreciated.

You can't. Number type field is there for storing integers. 999,999,999,999
is not an integer. You need to use text string. Unless you're using the
field inside the search form, in which case you need to use JavaScript to
format the content of the field on the frontend.

Format for fields in an internal table

DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
AUFNR LIKE AFKO-AUFNR, " Purchase Order Number
PLNBEZ LIKE AFKO-PLNBEZ, " Part Number
BISMT like MARA-BISMT, " Old Material
LNO(2),
GAMNG LIKE AFKO-GAMNG, " Production Order Quantity

"CDESC
END OF ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB.

ENDLOOP.
I have a internal table and I have writing the itab in the write statement. I need to format the field in itab.
for eg:
itab-gamng(lenght as 5)
itab-gltrp(its a date) i just need the mm/yy how can I format it.

You don' need to reformat the itab, just the fields before you write them.
data: monthyear(5) type c.
data: qty(5) type c.
LOOP AT ITAB.
concatenate itab-gltrp+4(2) '/'
itab-gltrp+0(4)
into monthyear.
clear qty.
qty = qty + itab-gamng.
WRITE:/3 ITAB-AUFNR,
13 ITAB-PLNBEZ,
23 ITAB-BISMT,
* LNO(2),
*45 ITAB-GAMNG,
45 qty,
* 65 ITAB-GLTRP.
65 monthyear.
* 57 ITAB-VDATU.
* *63 ITAB-KWMENG,
* 69 ITAB-MBDAT.
* PCTBS(5),
*C
ENDLOOP.

Minimum length of Number field in VO

Hi,
I am adding a attribute of NUMBER type in VO and i have to give the default value to 0001, to be displayed to user on screen.
But as it is a number, so on screen its displaying the value as 1.
How can we restrict that in VO?
Thanks,
Priya

Hi Priya,
Follow the steps below-
Edit the transient attribute on which you want to do this. Go to Control Hints section. Select the Format Type field as 'Number'. You will see the Format field enabled now. Select '0000' in this field and you are done. You will now notice that even if you enter value '9' in this field, it will actually save it as '0009'.

Right alignment of Number Field in OAF Page

Hi,
I need to right align the column of the table which is of number type in OAF page. I have extended the VO of that page to add new columns. After VO extension i added the column to the page via personalization and gave the reference of view attribute name as per Extened VO. I have set the following properties for that column
Item Sytle- Message Style Text
Data Type- Number
Nowrap=false
Vertical Alignment=Middle
View Attribute = Prior (same as Extended VO's column)
View Instance = XXPayEmpAccrualActionInfoVO
I need to set the value of this newly added column right align which is currently set as left align by default.
I have tried the following links from OTN
Re: Q: How to format number using personalization?
Right align number field
but while controller extension i m getting the following error-
Message not found. Application: FND, Message Name: FND_VIEWOBJECT_NOT_FOUND. Tokens: VONAME = XXPayEmpAccrualActionInfoVO; APPLICATION_MODULE = oracle.apps.pay.selfservice.payslip.US.server.PayPayslipAM;
The extended controller code is -
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OATableBean tableBean = (OATableBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("PayPayslip4Ss");
tableBean.queryData(pageContext, true);
tableBean.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
DataObjectList aColFormat01 = tableBean.getColumnFormats() ;
oracle.cabo.ui.data.DictionaryData ColFormat01 =(oracle.cabo.ui.data.DictionaryData)aColFormat01.getItem(pageContext.findChildIndex(tableBean, "Prior"));
ColFormat01.put(COLUMN_DATA_FORMAT_KEY,NUMBER_FORMAT);
Please can anyone provide me some pointer here..this is really urgent.
Thanks in advance
Renu
Edited by: Renu Gupta on Jun 14, 2010 5:15 AM

Hi Renu,
Use the following code:
OAMessageStyledTextBean origContSumBean = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("<FieldName>");
if(origContSumBean!=null) {
origContSumBean.setAttributeValue(CURRENCY_CODE,new OADataBoundValueViewObject(origContSumBean,"CurrencyCode"));
Here CurrencyCode should be a view attribute in the VO associated to the items in the region.

Formatting a field in the repetitive area of the Print Layout Design

Our quantity fields in the repetitive area print out with a decimal point and 3 spaces after the decimal point (i.e. 10.000). How can I change the format of these fields so that there are no decimals included (i.e. 10) when we print an order?
Thanks.

Mike,
You could use the Formula ABS( )
Add a Formula type field
In the Formula select formala ABS()
syntax: ABS(Field_xyz)..here field Field_xyz is your number field
If your value was 10.000 the result will be 10. This formula ignores the decimal part.
The formula ROUND could be used if you want to ROUND the value to the nearest higher or lower integer
Consider number 10.450
ROUND(Field_xyz,2) will give 10
ROUND(Field_xyz,1) will give 11

When I view the output in Excel format , it cuts off the last zero for eg 18.30 becomes 18.3 If i use any other Output format like HTML trailing 0s are preserved. How do I solve this

Format-number not working for me with preview to excel

Hi,
I have a report with 8 fields across within a table.
Each field is formatted in the same way, with format-number like this (there are 8):
<?format-number:total-year-remaining;’PT999G999D99’?>
(that's the type-your-own form-field help text in the word template).
When I preview the PDF, the data looks fine (8 cells shown below):
.00 (.10) (.10) .00 (.50) (.50) (.60) (.60)
But when previewing to Excel, there are two problems:
1. Only the data in the last field (the 8th one) is formatted with the oracle mask:
(.60)
But upon closer inspection, there are two blank spaces after the number in that cell, and the value itself is treated like a string, e.g. '(.60) '. In fact if I ask excel to format this cell like a number with currency and two decimal places, in won't do it because of trailing spaces. Its just not a number to excel at that point. Probably the ('s don't help things either.
2. The data in the first seven fields in excel are numeric, and I can format them in excel as currency, but I wanted XMLP to handle this, not the excel user.
The bottom line is this: I want both PDF and excel output. I want both forms to have the fomat mask applied correctly. And I want excel to treat each cell as a number. Is this possible?
Thanks
Adam

Anatoli,
Hello!
I don't know if my situation is the same as yours, but after a lot of head-scratching, forum searching and template rebuilding, I finally figured out my problem.
I had one column that no matter what I did kept appearing in Excel as text. I'd format it to Number in Excel and nothing. When trying to sum the column, Excel would not recognize any of the values as numbers. I even did the reformatting on the XML Word template to number, and the currency format that Adam mentions. Still no go. The $ and ',' appeared, but column still formatted as string.
I just finally noticed Adam's mention of the 2 extra spaces at the end of the numbers and sure enough mine was doing the same thing. Take out the 2 spaces and voila! Number!
Every time I redid my template in Word (07 and 03), I used the wizard. (Add-ins>Insert>Table>Wizard) walked through the steps, not really changing anything. Then I would preview and the spaces would be there. The column that I was having problems with was the last column of the table, which would get the text 'end G_ASSIGNED_CC' inserted in after the field name - separated by 2 spaces. Once I took out these two spaces, so the column now shows 'COSTend G_ASSIGNED_CC', it worked fine in Excel - all numbers.
Hope that helps someone out there as I was having a heck of a time finding anything (solutions anyway) on this.
Thanks,
Janel

Problem with number-fields in csv-Export-Files

Hello,
the export with the csv option works fine and our users like this export-function.
But Unfortunatelly we have some problems with the exported number fields. In my region I defined the field with a format mask.
On the screen it looks fine but when I change to csv the values are exported as text-values.
So in excel the columns are shown with left alignment.
When I try to change the format in excel to number, excel change the column type but not the value inside.
On this account we cannot use the sum-function and the display of the value is wrong (alignment).
Which possibilities do I have to resolve that problem?
Thanks in advance
Ulrike

I have the same issue - Anyone any ideas on how to export currency values in a report to excel as numbers?
