Insert number starting with '00'

Hi, this is probably an easy one but its causing me a few problems at the moment.
I'm inserting data into a number(3) field of type '003','004' etc. When i query the data thats been inserted the leading zero's have been removed. I'd like to keep this field as a number field so is there a way I can format the data when I'm inserting so that the zeros remain? I'd like to query it and see 003, 004 rather than 3,4
thanks,
Ian

The problem isn't the insertion. The problem is in the client that does the retrieving. The thing is, most clients don't expect numbers to have leading zeroes, so they remove them. If you want leading zeroes you just have to tell your client. In SQL*Plus you could do
SQL> column col1 format 0009
SQL> select col1 from t1;
COL1
0001
0002
0012
0013
0014
0015
15 rows selected.
SQL> Or solve the problem using SQL -
SQL> select to_char(col1, '0999') from t1
2 /
TO_CH
0001
0002
0012
0013
0014
0015
15 rows selected.
SQL> Of course, it's no longer a NUMBER datatype but this is for display only, right?

Acrobat 9 Standard reinstall gives invalid serial number message. Serial number starts with 1016.

I am revamping a laptop that was WinXP and making it Win7Pro. I ditched the 128GB SSD and upgraded to a 256GB SSD. I maxed out the RAM. I got Windows and Office installed. Acrobat 9 was next.
I had pulled the serial number using BelArc Adviser. he serial number starts with 1016 and has six sets of 4 numbers separated by dashes.
I did the chat and was told that version 9 is too old for them to help me and they pointed me to the forums. I did some searching but didn't come across anything that seemed to match.
I do not have the installation CD. This computer is 3-1/2 years old and I've only been the IT guy for 9 months. I downloaded version 9 from the Adobe download site.
Any help?
Thanks,
Loddie

Mobile received no bill or box. Serial number starts with QR.
I sent a broken iPhone to fix a Spanish company and was told it was beyond repair. They said that Apple offered me a new iPhone in exchange for mine and I accepted. I had to pay 200 euros. I have sent an Iphone without box or invoice and the serial number starts with QR. Is it new? How I can know that the iPhone comes from Apple? According to the Apple website is not guaranteed, as I entered the serial number in the support section of the web
Hope you can help me.

We can't help you. Have to take it up with your carrier. Yes, in the new sealed-system world, it is the Standard Way to resolve this kind of issues by offering a replacement phone. But the carrier has to make the notification to Apple regarding warranty coverage.

How Insert a number starting with 0

Hi,
I have created table numberTable with one column mynumber of datatype number(8).
I want to insert a number into this column 00000000. But when I insert this number it becomes 0 only and my query fails to read 8 digits as it finds only one disgit stored in table. I want all these zero to be present in the column because one of my query read this 8 digit number and use into different application and update it back with increment 1.
Can anyone tell me how can I save this number including with zero.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Vipin

Thanks for the quick response.
I dont want to use it for display only. The thing is when I read this number it gives my only 0 as stored number however I inserted the number as 00000000. I have to create another string using these 8 zero's AB00000000 or AB00000001, AB00000002 and so on and stored the number back to the column as 00000001, 00000002 and so on respectively.
If I put it like 10000000 then my application works fine and save the correct number as AB10000000, AB10000001 etc.
But using this I loose 10000000 records which can be used to create these sequence if I starts with 00000001, 00000002 etc and update the column back to 00000003 by incrementing 1 everytime and can save AB00000001, AB00000002 etc.
Kindly suggest.

You can also use the To_Char() function.
A sequence gives you a number, so you can transform it with format mask to string:
Declare
n number
s varchar2(10);
Begin
select seq.nextval into n from dual ;
s := To_Char(n, '000000') ;
End;Note that this question has nothing to do with Forms.

IPhone 4 serial number starts with 61 came out of black box

Dont new ones start with 7 and 8
refurbs 5K?
Whats 61 mean?

Refurbs don't start with 5K and new ones may not start with 7 or 8.
Regardless, does it really make any difference what the serial number is if the phone is working fine?

Iphone serial number starts with DX5K

Hi All :
My much awaited iphone 4 (new) starts with DX5K - does that mean its a refurbished one? eventhough it doesnt start with 5K, it has a 5K in it. so confused here
Any help would be appreciated

I'm in agreement with Lawrence. Serials are randomised, i have a job where i see a lot of technology including iPhones and iPads. I have seen serials beginning with most letters of the alphabet.

Call manager directory number starting with \+

I have a CUCM ver 8. Some of the directory numbers were configured to use \+, such as \+12025551201.
The problem is, when I tried to retrieve CDR, using the number \+12025551201, it comes up with:
Error Code Error Description
10021 There are no matching records
I tried to remove the \+ sign, it is still the same.
So what is workaround?

Hi
Try to pull the CDR by without mentioning anything for the busy hours, if u got any reports go through the actual digits in the origin.
If fails we need to go for CDR configuration, check and let me know

Hi sony,
Since you are trying to replace the pattern of subchkEntity1,
it replaces all the lines which contain ("<citation citation-type="book" id=")
including(...id="refxxx...)
& not ("<citation citation-type="book" id="") alone.
So ,to eliminate this, we have to match the string with chkEntity &
replace only the first occurance.
I've modified the method RemoveIfAlreadyExist.
It works fine now.
public String RemoveIfAlreadyExist(String line)
         int cc=1;
          Pattern Regex = Pattern.compile("<product>00000000<citation citation-type=\".*?\" id=\"\">");
          for(Matcher RegexMatcher = Regex.matcher(line); RegexMatcher.find();)
               String chkEntity = RegexMatcher.group();
               int lastIndex = chkEntity.lastIndexOf("\">");
               String subchkEntity1=chkEntity.substring(0,lastIndex);
               String s1 = Integer.toString(cc);
               if(s1.length()==1)
                    line = line.replaceFirst(chkEntity,subchkEntity1+"ref00"+cc+"\"");
               if(s1.length()==2)
                    line = line.replaceFirst(chkEntity,subchkEntity1+"ref00"+cc+"\"");
               if(s1.length()==3)
                    line = line.replaceFirst(chkEntity,subchkEntity1+"ref00"+cc+"\"");
                        cc++;
          return line;
     }

How to set phone number format like start with 0 or + it is not allowing

Hi All,
We Are trying to give in phone number field as number start with 099235623 or +91- like that
but it is not allowing to chage format
it is taking 99235623 eventhouh we entered as infront of zero
our requirement is we need to enter zero also
please give any idea
Thanks
Rio

Hi,
First Check the Data Type of the Field. That must be "DTYPE_PHONE". If this is the Data Type, then, it will allow the phone format set at the Locale Level for the Application. Check the Format at Locale Level.
[OR]
It's simple, you can change the Data Type of the particular Field to "DTYPE_TEXT".

TS1292 my card is not letting me redeem my $15 credit from my itunes card and the serial number does not start with GCA

the system keeps saying that my itunes card is invalid and the serial number starts with GCA I NEED HELP I dont have $15 to waste

Make sure you're using the correct code. For most iTunes cards, the code is under the scratchoff area on the back of the card. Also, the gift card you're trying to use must have been issued in the country whose iTunes Store you are using; you cannot use a card from another country. If you're sure you're using the correct code and that the card was indeed issued in your country, contact the iTunes Store Support; instructions are at the bottom of the article from which you came.

External number Range with leading zeros for Handling Units

Hi Experts
    My requirement is to use the External number for the Handling Units provided by vendor.That number starts with 2digits"00"+18 for Example:00123456789123456789
I am Using HU_VEKP Object for no range and maintaining
External No Range From 00000000000900000000 to 00000000000999999999.
But When i am giving Number 00000000000900000001 its only taking
900000001.
Kindly suggest me the right way to take leading zeros.
Rewards for answer sure if it works.
rajesh

Hi Laksmipathi
                      I am maintaining the number range for External number range coz its vendor supplied HU.
           But the prefix zeros has meaning for identifying the Handling unit Functionality.In realtime IF prefix contains Say "0000" it refers to carton
If prefix contains say "0010" it refers to pallet.
           So i need to satisfy there requirement.For example If it is for material number we can maintain In OMSL by check box of leading zeros.
            But i am not able to find any setting for this Handling units.U can check this object HU_VEKP in SNRO tcode where i am maintaining Number range.
Thanks give suggestion

Siri won't dial numbers starting with "0"

Am on 5.0.1.
I have a number for a contact stored as starting with 019 (it's a low cost long distance carrier pre-fix). Siri says dialling and then says can't call this number. Even if I dictate the number, Siri refuses to dial any number starting with 0.
Mighty frustrating......any work-srounds for this pls?
Thanks

I say "zero"....and Siri displays the number correctly but just doesn't dial. As mentioned above, the same number stored in the contact also doesn't get dialled.
Not sure if this helps, but the total number (including the 019 prefix) is 15 digits long.
