How to replace NULL values from main table

Dear all,
I like to remove the NULL values from a main table field. Or the question is how to replace any part of the string field in MDM repository main table field.
e.g. I have a middle name field partly the value is NULL in some hundreds of records, I like to replace NULL values with Space
any recommendation.
Regards,
Naeem

Hi Naeem,
You can try using Workflows for automatically replacing NULLs with any specific value.
What you can do is: Create a workflow and set trigger action as Record Import, Record Create and Record Update. So, that whenever any change will occur in the repository; that workflow will trigger.
Now create an assignment expression for replacing NULLs with any specific value and use that assignment expression in your workflow by using Assign Step in workflow.
For exiting records, you will have to replace NULLs manually using the process given by Preethi else you can export those records in an Excel spreadsheet which have NULLs and then replace all NULLs with any string value and then reimport those records in your MDM repository.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Varun

How to Replace Null Value as 0 in an OBIEE11g Pivot Table? it's working 10g

Hi,
How to Replace Null Value as 0 in an OBIEE11g Pivot Table? it's working in obiee10g version.
We have tried below methods
1) 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
2) in that formula columns we have put it below case condition also ,
Measure Column: Nom_amt --> edit formulas
CASE WHEN Nom_amt IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE Nom_amt END
3) we have uncheked IS NULL check box in the admin tool also
I tried above formats still it's not working for me..kindly help me on this..
thanks to do the needfull

but, consider
delete from table_1 where column_1 is null

How to retrieve the values from a table if they differ in Unit of Measure

How to retrieve the values from a table if they differ in Unit of Measure?

If no data is read
- Insure that you use internal code in SELECT statement, check via SE16 desactivating conversion exit on table T006A. ([ref|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/2a/fa0122493111d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm])
If no quanity in result internal table
- There is no adqntp field in the internal table, so no quantity is copied in itab ([ref|http://help.sap.com /abapdocu_70/en/ABAPINTO_CLAUSE.htm#&ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_1@1@]).
- - Remove the CORRESPONDING, so quantity will fill the first field adqntp1. ([ref|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENOPEN_SQL_WA.htm])
- - Then loop at the internal table and move the quantity when necessary to the 2 other fields.
* Fill the internal table
SELECT msehi adqntp
INTO TABLE internal table
FROM lipso2
WHERE vbeln = wrk_doc1
 AND msehi IN ('KL','K15','MT').
* If required move the read quantity in the appropriate column.
LOOP AT internal_table ASSIGNING <fs>.
CASE <fs>-msehi.
 WHEN 'K15'.
 <fs>-adqnt2 = <fs>-adqnt1.
 CLEAR <fs>-adqnt1.
 WHEN 'MT'.
 <fs>-adqnt3 = <fs>-adqnt1.
 CLEAR <fs>-adqnt1.
ENDCASE.
ENDLOOP.
- You could also create another table with only fields msehi and adqntp and then collect ([ref|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPCOLLECT.htm]) the data to another table.

Replacing Null Values From existing values in table.

Hi
Using 9i R(2).
Tbl_1
Col_A varchar2
Col_B varchar2
Col_C varchar3
(no PK/FK)
I want to inset the missing values (null values) of columns B & C by taking values from filled values from same table on base of Col_A.
Examples
Col_A || Col_B || Col_C
Item_1 || Red || 2Kg
Item_2 || Blue || 1.5 Kg
Item_1 || Null || Null
I want to inset values in the Null value fields of Row3 (Col_B & CoL_C) from Row1 as Col_A is same at both rows.
Please advise how to do it efficiently.

In the above code im geeting project D which is an integer value. But not able to get the project name.
Please some one guide me.

As I said in the other thread, this really isn't the place to ask questions about a database API unrelated to the Illustrator SDK. You're far more like to find people familliar with your problem on a forum that is dedicated to answering those kinds of questions instead.

How to retrieve 2 values from a table in a LOV

Hi
I'm pretty new to APEX. I try to retrieve two values from a table using a LOV. I have a table named DEBIT with then columns SITE, NAME and KEY
I want to display NAME to the user in a list. When the user select an item from the list, I want to retrieve the data of the SITE and KEY column of this item in order to launch an SQL command based on this two values.
How to retrieve thes two values whant the user chooses an item from the list ?
I apologize for my english, being french.
Regards.
Christian

Christian,
From what I understood about your requirement, you want a 'select list with submit' which displays "NAME" and based on the value selected, you want to get the corresponding values for "SITE" and "KEY" from the table.
Step 1: Create a select list with submit, say P1_MYSELECT 
Use something like this in the dynamic list of values for the select list: 
SELECT NAME display_value, NAME return_value
FROM DEBIT 
Step 2: Create a page process of type PL/SQL block. Also create 2 hidden items P1_KEY and P1_SITE. 
In the PL/sQL, write something like:
DECLARE
v_key DEBIT.KEY%TYPE;
v_site DEBIT.SITE%TYPE;
CURSOR v_cur_myvals IS
 SELECT KEY, SITE
 FROM DEBIT
 WHERE NAME = :P1_MYSELECT;
BEGIN
OPEN v_cur_myvals;
LOOP
 FETCH v_cur_myvals
 INTO v_key,v_site;
 EXIT WHEN v_cur_myvals%NOTFOUND;
:P1_KEY := v_key;
:P1_SITE := v_site;
END LOOP;
CLOSE v_cur_myvals;
END; 
Then you can use these values for whatever purpose you need to.
Hope this helps.

How to post null values from h:inputText?

Hello,
I have a form made of h:inputText fields that map to an entity class as the backing bean. Whenever I post the form from a web page, all the fields that I did not fill out and that are mapped to String fields in the entity class are set to "" (empty string) instead of null.
However, I would like to post null values to my entity, because that would indicate that the user did not fill out the field. In other contexts (outside of the web app) it is possible to set the fields to empty strings, but from the web app it should always be null. How can I get JSF to do this correctly?
Also, when reading entitys with null values from the database, these are converted to empty h:inputText fields, so this direction works as expected.
Ulrich

I haven't seen a solution for this as far.
This is how I do it:
public void action() {
    if (isEmpty(inputValue)) {
        // do your thing
    } else {
        // do your thing
public static boolean isEmpty(Object value) {
    if (value == null) {
        return true;
    if (value instanceof String && ((String) value).trim().length() == 0) {
        return true;
    if (value instanceof Collection && ((Collection) value).size() == 0) {
        return true;
    // And go so on .. make it an utility method.
    return false;
}

How to truncate the values from the table

Hi All,
I am working on an issue..where we are first deleting all the records from the table and then based on few conditions we are putting the records back in that table...when we tried to run this program along with few others those who are doing almost the same stuff we are having issues...we tried to schedule few jobs related to these programs only...but after a ceratin amount of time couple of jobs got canceled...I was talking to my basis guy and he said the problem is ratehr then truncating the records from the table we are deleting the records and it's taking lots and lots of space to execute...so we need to truncate the records from the table insted of deleting it...we are using the following the statement right now:
    DELETE FROM ZTUS_PG.
    COMMIT WORK.
So can you please tell me how can we truncate the values from this table instead of just deleting them and what would be effect of this.
Thanks,
Rajeev Gupta

I don't think basis is saying you should delete all the records from the table. They are saying remove the table and it's contents (a much faster thing to do). I'm not sure this the right thing to do, but you can have a look at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.apdv.sample.doc/doc/admin_scripts/s-truncate-db2.htm
Something like:
EXEC SQL.
TRUNCATE TABLE ZTUS_PG REUSE STORAGE
ENDEXEC.
COMMIT WORK.                      "Empty table is committed here

How to extract the values from WPBP table

Hi experts,
We are in preparation of a custom report.
In the report we want to have a value from WPBP table.
We want to extract the value of Capacity utilization level from WPBP table.
Could you please let me know the way to extract the value.
Please advice.
Regards,
Sairam.

Hi Sairam,
Why do you try to get capacity utilization level from WBPB. Even if there is split in payroll capacity utilizatian level in WPBP shows the value in IT0008 basic pay.
So instead you can get the required information from table PA0008 Field for capacity utilization level is BSGRD

How to display the values from the table in the screen

Hi,
I have created a screen where i will enter the values for the field treshold amount and desc and if i press update button .it will update the new values by overriting the existing values .
Now i have got requirement i need to create a button show which will display the existing value from the table. always there will be only one entry...in this table
Please can one give me idea...to do this
or sample code...thanks in advance
regards
paveeeeee

Define a function code 'SHOW' for your button. In your PAI module, when you check for various sy-ucomms, check for 'SHOW' also.
Your code will be like this:
Case sy-ucomm.
when 'SHOW'.
perform show_details.
endcase.
In the perform, you can fetch the data from the table and put it in global variables. In the PBO, move the data from the global variables to the screen fields so that they get displayed on the screen.
Hope this helps. Reward points for useful answers.
