How to convert char(1) to int32 datatype in pl/sql

Hello,
I am trying to convert char(1) to an integer data type to be put into an int32 variable in C#. I tried several options such as TO_NUMBER ,CAST(.. AS INTEGER), and CAST(.. AS SMALLINT) but they all return int64.
Is there a way to ensure the casting into a datatype that is compatible with int32 ?
Thanks

Oracle's SQL Datatypes are limited to NUMBER, BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE.
There's a few others through PL/SQL including BINARY_INTEGER.
If you look in USER_ARGUMENTS you can see it is defined slightly differently.
Don't know whether / how .Net infers datatypes, but it is worth a shot.
create or replace function v (p number) return binary_integer is
begin
return p;
end;

How to convert char to curr ?

Hi gurus.
Forgive me for the silly question.
I have a problem with data conversion from char to curr with 2 decimal places.
This is the scenario, I have a Z transaction which receives an excel file containing data from invoices and when the field contains a value such as 35,0 the program records the value 3.50 in the destination variable. But when the value is 35,45, it works.
Here is the piece of code:
WHEN '0007 '.
        TRANSLATE USING ITAB-VALUE. " '.
        ITAB-VALUE USING TRANSLATE',.'.
        CONDENSE ITAB-VALUE NO-GAPS.
        WA_OPER_MENORES-VL_BRUTO = ITAB-VALUE.
If I format the column in the excel file for numeric value with 2 decimal places also works, because when the value is formatted 35,0 change to 35,00. But I can not tell all the users hey formatt your files before upload to SAP.
To test I generate a simple report that reads the excel file and makes the conversion of the columns, like the code above, so I had no problems. I think there should be some configuration that has been changed in the transaction, but I'm new in ABAP, I come from "Java World" and I have no idea that could be.
I could just use a quick and dirty solution, adding a zero at the end of the column, when there is the 2 decimal places, but I prefer a clean solution.
Guys, is there any function module or class that does that kind of data conversion? If not, you could tell me what is the best practice to solve this problem?
thank you very much,
Ronaldo S. Vieira

Follow this example to convert Char to Curr and Vice-Versa
DATA iamnt(17) TYPE c VALUE '243567.00'.
DATA eamnt TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
DATA oamnt(17) TYPE c.
MOVE iamnt TO eamnt.
WRITE eamnt TO oamnt.
WRITE oamnt.

How to Converting Char to Date?

Hi
while i converting the char to date i am getting the below error, can some tell me how to resolve the issue.
Datetime value 01/01/2011 from 01/01/2011 does not match the specified format. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT 0 s_0, CAST(CONCAT('01/01/',cast(year(current_date)as char)) as DATE) s_1 FROM ''example reports"

Can you check whats your default date format. Just run the report with Current_date and look at whats the format. Ensure you dont override the default date format by going into column properties.
Try applying the same format when you use the cast as date function.
Also, you can refer to this link. http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/cast_as_date_

How to convert file format using bfile datatype

<pre>
Hi all,
Assume, i has a table BFILE_IMAGE and it table structure is similar like:
SQL> desc bfile_image;
Name Null? Type
IMAGE_ID NUMBER
FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(30)
IMAGE BINARY FILE LOB
SQL>
Is that impossible if we can use process() function with bfile datatype? similar like:
ordsys.ordimage.process(image,'fileFormat=JPEG contentFormat=24BITRGB');
The line above is work with blob datatype but doesn't with bfile datatype. Can you please give me some idea how to deal with it.
Thanks,
Kevin

a BFILE is content stored outside the Oracle database. It is a read-only object.
process() is an in-place modification of the image. This is only possible with BLOB stored content.
If you are using BFILE you could use the processCopy() method to create a new copy of the BFILE stored image that has been processed according to your command.

How to convert a varchar to integer datatype in obiee Answers?

Hi Gurus,
I tried using cast to convert a varchar to integer type eg.
cast (column as integer) in fx in answers but its not working.
Can we use to_number function in answers?
Also do we have any other way of changing the datatype of a column rather than changing it in
Physical layer of the rpd.
Thanks
Ashish Gupta

Always first choice should be BI instead of porting a function on DB side.
As Lakshmipathi said do that.
It would be always nice to share what you see instead of "Not working"

Data conversion - How to convert char to decimal variant?

Hi expert,
In the example below, I want to convert the variable l_var1 to l_result
data l_var1(16) type c.
data l_preis(11) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
data l_result(11) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
l_preis = 10981.
write l_preis to l_var1.
after the write statement, l_var1 = 10,981.00. currently i want to move l_var1 to l_result. Is there anyone who knows how to do it? Thank you very much.

Hi Liu,
I want to know the exact requirement. Instead of what you are trying to do , you can do the following way.
DATA l_var1(16) TYPE c.
*data l_preis(11) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
DATA l_result(11) TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
l_var1 = 10981.
MOVE l_var1 TO l_result.
WRITE l_result.
<li> MOVE statement gives desired result. It gives rounding values.
Thanks

Source:Essbase, how to convert char in date format

Hello
Version OBI EE:10.1.3.4.1.090414.1900
Source:Essbase
We have date in format VARCHAR (01.01.2008). I want to have date in format DATE.
I transform our date on Business Level in DATE (yyyy-mm-dd)
CAST ( SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 7 FOR 4) || '-' || SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 4 FOR 2) || '-' || SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 1 FOR 2) AS DATE )
And in Answers I can see our DATE in format DATE,
but when I want to use filter on this field i get mistake
HY000. Код: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] meaning date/time 2008-01-01 nonqualifying given format

Сформированный SQL: SELECT Time."Дата начала4" saw_0 FROM Copeck WHERE Time."Дата начала4" = date '2008-01-01' ORDER BY saw_0
When i use
CAST ( SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 1 FOR 2) || SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 4 FOR 2) || SUBSTRING(Copeck."Time"."Gen5,Time" FROM 7 FOR 4) AS DATE ) - ddmmyyyy
I can't see our DATE in format DATE in Answers, because I immediately get mistake
When I use usual database, i don't have this mistake, may be it depends on Source date?

I understand the converions for formatting dates. Thank you for this posting, it helped a lot. Now I need to take this one step further and that is modifying a date that comes the XML Datasource in the format I do not want.
Start Date is the name of the field. It is in XML and my RTF as 2009/10/03 and I want 10/03/2009 or 03-Oct-2009.
Any help on this is most appreciated.
Thanks

C#: How to convert Keyboard.key (Unicode char as number) into correct char?

Our application uses barcode scanner.
when scanning a barcode and convert Keyboard.key (as ushort with value 16, it represents char ':') by using
1)(char)(Keyboard.key)
2) or Convert.ToChar(Keyboard.key),
both way convert into symbol '+'.
How to convert into ':'?
What is a correct way to convert Keyboard.key as ushort into correct char? Thx!
JaneC

Hi Dan Nemec,
It is normal '+'. It is special '+' symbol.
We search a little bit and find out Unicode ':' is 3A and value is not 16.
So during the process barcode scanner, the value has been changed in some way.
We are trying to find out where the value has been changed.

How to convert special characters in ABAP to XML?

Hi All.
We have a scenario where from XI (exchange Infrastructure), a BAPI is called which returns an XML. From that XML, a PDF is generated.
Now, if the XML contains any special characters, it will fail.
So if any CHinese char or >, # etc signs are there, it fails.
Can you please tell me how to convert my string in ABAP to a proper XML?
I am new to it and I was trying the following code
DATA: today TYPE string,
      result TYPE string.
today = 'This is testing'.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ID
     SOURCE today = today
     RESULT XML result.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
WRITE result.
ENDIF.
But it does not return me anything.
Thanks in adv.
