Issues with Rounding in Scriptlogic

All,
I am currently on BPC 7.0 MS and I am updating script logic in our Finance Application.  The logic's intent is to spread an amount (total) to 12 periods evenly.  This is working just fine.  Where I run into my issue is my numbers come back with several decimal places so I need a way to round it.  Below is a piece of the code but I have not found a good way to round the =%VALUE%/12.
Any suggestions?
WHEN DATASRC     
*IS *     
  *WHEN TIME     
  *IS %YEAR%.INP     
      *REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%/12,TIME=%YEAR%.001,DATASRC="INPUT")

Hi Vineet,
What was suggested to you earlier were 2 options for rounding up your values:
1. Changing the appset parameter: If you use this option, then all the data in your database, will have the exact structure in terms of number of decimal places. If you say 25,2, then all the transactional records will have only 2 places of decimal.
2. The other option, as suggested by man_noel, you can use the ROUND keyword in your script logic. This way, you are just rounding off the results, only. The other data remains the same as it was earlier.
ROUND((%VALUE%/12),n)
The above statement will rounf off the result to n places of decimal.
Hope this helps.

  • Issue with @Round

    Hi all,
    I have following problem. I use @Round(member name,2) for 3 members. But parent dynamiccalc member with aggregation operator displayed like 16212.960000000001. How is it possible? And how can i fix it. Others members displayed like this:
    15689.94
    178.7
    344.32
    Thanks

    Write a member formula for dynamic calc member with @ROUND function.
    Cheers..!!!

  • Issues with 'Rounding' function (Word 2007 issue? Works in Word 2003...)

    My colleague (using Word 2003) and I (using Word 2007) are working on a change to a template where we include a formula that has the function called rounding.
    She (2003) is able to preview the pdf but I (2007) am getting error message: : oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Extension function error: Method not found 'round'
    All other settings that we have appear to be the same (same config file, same java version, etc)
    Does anyone know if there are some changes to Word 2007 that are causing this? And, any ideas on how to resolve?
    Thanks for the help!
    Background:
    -The function is designed provide a total weight value: each individual weight value, multiply by a factor of .80, round up, and then added together to get a total amount.
    -Because we also show the individual weight values on the output, (also multiplied by the factor of .80 and then rounded up), we need the factor and rounding to happen before the sum).
    The entire set of functions for the total weight value is:
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum',0)?>
    <?for-each:LIST_G_CONTAINER_NAME1?><?for-each:G_CONTAINER_NAME1?>
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum', xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum')+ xdoxslt:round((GROSS_WT*0.8),2))?><?end for-each?><?end for-each?>
    <?format-number: xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'sum');'9G990D00'?>
    space
    <?WEIGHT_UOM_CODE?>
    Error when attempting to preview the pdf after uploading an xml file:
    : oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Extension function error: Method not found 'round

    Hi,
    I took my original file (didn't have the round functionality) and Word 2007 and did the following:
    1) Tested with xml to ensure that there are no other issues - was able to preview successfully
    2) Added the function you suggested: <?xdoxslt:round(1000.98978,2)?> and saved the change
    3) Tried to preview using the same xml and got the same error message about rounding
    I can't test on 2003 because my colleague is not working right now (she is the one with that version installed). I will try on 2003 later today (but I am guessing it will work for her because the other rounding function works for her).
    Thanks for any other ideas about this.

  • SD -Pricing issue with rounding

    Hi All,
    We have a price condition in sales order, in which the base codition is USD4 and conditon base value is in USD. System is not giving proper values after rounding. Please see the below example.
    Base proce = 2.845 USD4 per PC
    Qty = 1
    Condition base value = 2.845 * 1 = 2.85 USD
    Base proce = 2.345 USD4 per PC
    Qty = 1
    Condition base value = 2.345 * 1 = 2.34 USD
    Base proce = 2.245 USD4 per PC
    Qty = 1
    Condition base value = 2.845 * 1 = 2.25 USD
    If you observe in second case it is not rounded properly. I couldn't understand why it is calculating like this. The value is returning from standard converting currency function module.
    Please advice me.
    Thanks,
    Kiran.

    Check in IMG > Logistics General whether for your Company Code,  check box for rounding duty is ticked.  If so and still you have issue, have a look at the following notes:-
    Note 117891 - Rounding off not happening
    Note 1005838 - Rounding of duties when get excise invoice is used in J1IIN

  • Issue with ROUND function in RTF template

    Hi All,
    Can anyone please help me in implementing the ROUND function at the RTF template.
    Need to handle rounding of amounts at the RTF template level itself.
    The ROUND function should be implemented to the following tags:
    <?sum(current-group()/TAXABLE_AMOUNT)?> (Record level)
    <?sum(TAXABLE_AMOUNT)?> (Report level total)
    Eg. If the Sum(current-group()/TAXABLE_AMOUNT) for a particular record is 401.65 then it should round of to 402
    we try to do this using following syntax ..
    1) by declaring variable "value"
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, value, sum(current-group()/TAXABLE_AMOUNT))?>
    2) <?xdofx:round(sum(current-group()/TAXABLE_AMOUNT))?>
    3)<?xdofx:round(xdoxslt:sum(current-group()/TAXABLE_AMOUNT))?>
    but we ding get the solution.
    A quick response on this is highly appreciable.
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    And still repeating 11 & 8193 at this point...as we write up this post.

    This was suggested by the Backup Assist - software vendor....
    A.)
    ...for 0x81080101:
    "ERROR - The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x81000101)
    The creation of a shadow copy has timed out. Try again this operation."
    If you receive the above error in your report, we have recently found a registry key which
    contains the timeout value set by Microsoft for VSS and found that you can edit this to extend it.
    To get to the registry key, open Regedit (Start > Run > Regedit) and browse to:
    "HKLM\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\SPP\\CreateTimeout".
    Change value to 1200000 (2*10*60*1000 = 20 mins).
    The default for the timeout period is 10 mins so hopefully doubling this will give enough time to
    complete the snapshot.
    If this isn't present, you'll need to manually enter the registry key. It's a DWORD 32-bit key.

    --> Related to Windows backup and not VSS?
    2155348001 - 0x80780021 - Windows Backup timed-out before the shared protection point was created.
    Should we run the "FIXVSS08.BAT" script - restarts services and re-registers DLL's - does this ever help?
    Will this server need a reboot since VSS is in a state and we can't even test backups?
    Is there a tool we can use to debug VSS or troubleshoot or OS backups further?
    MSReport/Diag, VSS debugging, or another way of helping fix our OS(SystemState/C: drive) backup issues?
    Any help is greatly appreciated - thx.

    Scot Pichelman

    Hi Scot,
    Sometimes a third party backup application will change the default VSS provider adding VSS writers which causes Windows Server Backup using an incorrect component in doing backup, that's why I suggest to delete it for a test. Anyway you can reinstall it
    after testing.
    And as you said a high-load CPU could also be the cause of the issue so you may need to first rule hardware effective out.
    If issue still exists, please try the steps below as well:
    1. Please check DCOM Server Process Launcher service is started.
    2. If not, try to change RPC service to run as SYSTEM account. To do this please modify the following key:
    Note: Backup the key before edit incase it cause any issue.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\RpcSs\
    Find "ObjectName" and change the value to LocalSystem.
    Reboot to see if DCOM back to work and if Windows Server Backup starts working. If not, please provide the result if there is any new error occurs.
    If DCOM still not work, please compare the content of the following key with a working server:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE
    Edit if there is any difference and make sure you created a backup of the key before editing. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • Since I can not log in bug report page, not even getting an error message, I'll write all my issues with ios8 here...

    Since I can not log in bug report page, not even getting an error message, I'll write all my issues with ios8 here... I have an iphone 4S and I did the last update. Now I am in trouble.
    1. When I move the "sound on/off" button, I get it buzzing 10 times before the setting is changed and I can do anything else, just not reacting to the round button on screen touches.
    2. Impossible to copy text from most websites into notes.
    3. Impossible to delete an email account in settings.
    4. Uses up the battery twice as fast as before. I have "update apps" setting turned off, just reading a couple of mails, making a couple of photos and open maps apps twice a day, and the battery is dead well before the evening.
    5. Got extremely slow, and it was getting slower and slower with every system update.
    I'm sure I forgot something... But well, that already a lot.

    Well, actually number 3 in my list is not true any more, I just tried to delete my account 15 times, then I've written my post, then half an hour later my Settings finally updated my accounts list. Whohoo
    I did not try restoring it yet, thank you for the link!

  • Long list of issues with CP5 project

    I've been working on a project for the past few weeks and its nearing completion. A couple of things have happened which seem to have completely messed up the project. On the surface all looks well but when you actually use it, major usability issues emerge. I've listed the problems below. Would appreciate any advice if possible. Am using CP5 (latest update applied) on an XP pc.
    1. Throughout the project development I've been publishing to html to test it. All was working fine until I decided to trial a scorm export. When I selected Quiz Preferences to enable scorm reporting, CP locked up. I was then presented with the top strip of the Preferences menu window with the rest missing. This was a blue strip which ran right across the screen and onto my second monitor. I couldn't close it or escape it, or select anything beneath. So I had to force quit, no choice really.
    2. After the force quit I restarted CP and managed to enable scorm reporting. I tested an export (to zip), deployed on my Moodle site and all worked fine. I then noticed I needed to change a few details so went ahead and made these (all I added was a title for the scorm manifest). When I exported again, I ran into problems with my embedded flv videos, saying they were corrupt (which they weren't). I eventually got round this by exporting the zip to its own folder (had been exporting to the main folder containing the CP project file... obviously not a good thing). The exported scorm file is about 74MB.
    3. After all the above issues with the videos were sorted, I tested the scorm export and immediately ran into a whole rang of problems. Every single object that had a fade in & out affect had to have it removed as they were greyed out. My embedded videos were barely visable, looking like they'd been set to a 20% opacity in Pshop. Could still be played though, if you could find the play button. The opening slide decided to immediately fade once the scorm pack launched, despite never setting to do anything of the sort. I had to take a copy of another slide and recreate the front slide, then delete the old one. This seems to have fixed that issue. Now my final slide (which follows on from a Quiz Result slide) has decided to do an immediate fade in & out, so you can't read the text. Again I never told it to do that. All objects on the page have effects/transitions off but this hasn't had any affect at all.
    4. I have also found a very very odd pattern of behaviour with Click boxes used as links to web sites. I have 8 links on a slide (text boxes with text blue colour & click boxes overlaying). Clicking on the 1st two links works fine, opens them in a new window. Clicking on the 3rd, nothing happens. A 2nd click loads the web page. When you close it you find yourself on the next slide and have to go back. The same pattern occurs for the next 3 links. Very very odd.
    5. The other really annoying problem is with my next & back buttons. If I navigate through the package and then click back a few slides (or even go back 1 slide), I can't go forward again. I have to refresh the page. I've also found if I go back to the opening slide its greys outs completely, nothings visable. Again you have to guess when the next button is to move forward. The nav buttons are simple set to "go to next slide" and ticked infinite. This problem completely ruins the who package making it unuseable.
    I'm starting to think something has corrupted my project. If its not that then its CP being buggy. One thing I do know is its one of the most sluggish Adobe apps I've ever used. If I can't fix these issues the course won't be useable and I'll have to start from scratch with something else.

    Hi there. Welcome to the forum.  Sounds like you've had a bad day.
    Since no one else has chimed in yet, I'm going to suggest that you get rid of your Preferences file and let Captivate regenerate this, just in case it resolves some of the glitches.  This preference file can get corrupted and cause all kinds of weird behaviour.  So what I'm suggesting here might sound a bit radical but it's often proven to be successful for Cp weirdness issues.
    Here's an explanation I've copied from another post by the eminent Captiv8tr:
    You might try clobbering the preferences file. If you look in the following location, you should find the file named captivate_40.dat. Just Close Captivate, delete the file and restart Captivate.
    To locate this file, right-click your Start button and choose Explore. This should easily get you in the general area. If you look at the parent folder you should see Application Data. (you may need to configure Windows Explorer to show you this folder) Inside the Application Data folder should be an Adobe folder. And inside the Adobe folder should be the Adobe Captivate folder. And inside this folder should be the file.

    I guess during conversion to PO
    It sees PR Line item 1 and looks for another line items with similar fields ( in our case it sees line 2 in ex 1 and 2 and 3 in ex 2)
    i adds the qty 1 and 29 in ex1 and converts the total 30 each to 1 BT and when it moves to 2 line it see item1 and again creates 1BT but the line item 2 was already considered and it should be ignored
    Similarly if you see ex2 then it creates 3 limes with 1 BT each
    Let me know how to resolve this issue
    Thanks

    As for std SAP ME59N - make sure there is not rounding value is activated in the Material master as well as info record
    If this is not the case than check any custom code is activated for ME59N
    becuase generally in many compnay when they use ME59n they don't want the same material from diff PR to create the diff line item in the PO so using the custom logic in the user exist they trick the code
    it might be the case for you where you have issue.

  • Cd burner issues with Nero, Atapi and DMA

    Hello,
    When i first build my AMD system with the specs below, everything was mostly fine on the IDE drive topic. Nero was burning fine, Alcohol 120 was working etc etc...
    Recently when i decided to format my computer, things started to fail.
    The OS install went fine, all drivers installed just fine with the exception of the NVidia SW drivers. When I opt to install these drivers, whether it be v 5.03, or 5.10, the system will hang if I insert a cd into the cd rom drive. It attempts to read, then the system will totally hang.
    If these were uninstalled, it would work flawlessly. But that is off topic.
    What i've read in these threads is that if I select to use PIO and not DMA on the cd rom ide channels in windows/bios, the burner would fine with Nero. With DMA turned on, the program will hang during the 'checking discs' window just before the burnging process begins. The burner doesnt even attempt to see the cdr in the drive.
    But my question is, does anyone know why some of us need to disable DMA for the IDE drives/channels for it to work? I've read others were having problems reading from DVD drives etc with DMA enabled. Disabling DMA and using PIO only would see the DVD drive work fine.
    Is this a known issue with the board or drivers?
    BTW: I have 2 hdds on primary channel, and the single burner on the 2ndary channel as mater. Burner is an old Kodak/Mitsumi 4xCD burner, 2xCDRW.
    Your thoughts will be much appreciated..
    Many thanks.

    Got some more information based on the advice on this thread.
    I tried removing all the 12 IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, and once rebooted, winxp would fail to startup.
    So I restarted with the last known working settings, then I narrowed it down to the middle one of each of the channels to be the most important.
    - Primary IDE Channel 1
    - Primary IDE Channel 2
    - Primary IDE Channel 3
    - Secondary IDE Channel 1
    - Secondary IDE Channel 2
    - Secondary IDE Channel 3
    - Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller 1
    - Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller 2
    - Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller 3
    After removing all 1 and 3's. A 'scan for hardware' change automatically detected them again and automatically installed them again with the MS drivers.
    I have also tried the end ide connection from the 3 connector ide cable I was using, and still no luck.
    Channel 0 with both the hdds installed are using the red round ide cable. While Channel 1 with the single burner is installed with the standard flat grey ide cables.
    Bagmaster: This is the funny thing though. When i first built the computer, the burner was working absolutely fine with Nero. It wasn't until I format the computer and decided to use 5.10 drivers that it gave me problems. I then did another format with the old 5.03 drivers and yet, still no luck...
    The problem mysteriously popped up after the format, and just doesn't want to go away.
    tomkas: I may attempt your idea. I will let you know what comes from it. Hope it doesn't force me to make yet another format of the system.. I have done once too many on this computer than I'd done for my old Intel system for 4 years...  
    syar2003: Hmm, i'm not quite sure if these grey ide cables are 40 or 80pins. I've been using these since the early 2000's with my intel computer. Heck, i didn't even know they upped the pins?? I thought ide cables fit all new and old drives [whether they be hdd or cd drives]

  • PHP email form - issue with who it's from

    Hi,
    I've got a referral page on my site where the user puts in their details and a friends details and the form fires off a email to the friend. The form is in HTML and posts it to a PHP file. The problem is I get in the email for who it's from:
    from
    "Scott Bradshaw"@server74.ukservers.net
    I don't want the
    @server74.ukservers.net
    in their.
    Is this an issue with PHP files and forms or is their a way round it? I know I could do a mailto: form but don't want to. What are my options?
    Thanks, Scott

    I'm making the website for someone and they had the hosting set up already but thanks for telling me. I think this is right what I've done:
    function detectSuspect($val, &$ok) {
      if (preg_match('/Content-Type:|Cc:|Bcc:/i', $val)) {
        $ok = false;
    $YourName = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['YourName']));
    $YourEmail = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['YourEmail']));
    $RefName = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['RefName']));
    $RefEmail = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['RefEmail']));
    $EmailFrom = $YourEmail;
    $Subject = $RefName;
    $EmailTo = $RefEmail;
    // validation
    $validationOK=true;
    detectSuspect($YourName, $validationOK);
    detectSuspect($YourEmail, $validationOK);
    detectSuspect($RefName, $validationOK);
    detectSuspect($RefEmail, $validationOK);
    if (!$validationOK) {
      print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
      exit;
    // prepare email body text
    $Body = "Hi $RefName,
    $YourName thought you would be interested in viewing this online video called A
    tale of 2 customers (< 3 mins).
    www.easybench.org/ataleof2customers3";
    $Body2 = "";
    $Body2 .= "User Name: ";
    $Body2 .= $YourName;
    $Body2 .= "\n";
    $Body2 .= "User Email: ";
    $Body2 .= $YourEmail;
    $Body2 .= "\n";
    $Body2 .= "Referral Name: ";
    $Body2 .= $RefName;
    $Body2 .= "\n";
    $Body2 .= "Referral Email: ";
    $Body2 .= $RefEmail;
    $Body2 .= "\n";
    // send email
    $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: $EmailFrom<$EmailFrom>");
    mail("[email protected]", "Referral details", $Body2, "From: [email protected]");
    // redirect to success page
    if ($success){
      print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thankyou2.html\">";
    else{
      print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
    ?>
    I've also got a feedback form thing too, the script above wouldn't work for it I guess as it's protecting against different thing but what's the best way to protect the feedback form? I've heard of a honeypot thing where create hidden form field.
    Thanks, Scott

  • Cursor Issues with Snow Leopard

    I am having two cursor-related issues with my mid-2010 MBP, running 10.6.7.  Both problems are intermittent and occur with either the built-in trackpad or the external Magic Trackpad.
    Problem #1:  Cursor movement is normal, however if I attempt to click on a window to bring it to the front, or click on the red button to close a window, or click on a menu item, nothing happens.  Short-cut keys work normally.  Application Switcher works normally.  Thus far, my only solution is to Shut Down the computer and then re-Start it.
    Problem #2:  After a short absence from the computer, I could not find the cursor.  Using the Control 2-finger Zoom, I determined that the cursor was at the upper-right corner of the MBP screen (I do have a second monitor.)  Realizing where the cursor was, I tried to move it.  The cursor would only move away from the corner by less than an inch and then would snap back into the corner.  I performed a Shut Down (could not get to Restart) and Start, which resolved the problem.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Another update and an easier work-a-round.
    Both problems appear to be "solved" by unplugging the USB cable to my Apple keyboard and mouse.  At that point, I do have control from the MBP trackpad.  If I re-plug in the USB cable, things go back to normal.
    My configuration is:  an external keyboard and mouse (not normally used) connected to the MBP by USB cable (this is the cable that I have to disconnect); and a Magic Trackpad connected by Bluetooth.
    The work-a-round of disconnecting the USB cable is simple enough, but I am still interested if anyone has thoughts on what might be causing the issue in the first place.
    Thanks again for any suggestions.

  • Issue with Backflush when Consuming Fractions

    I am having an issue with back-flushing I was hoping Guru's  could help me .
    Here is the issue:
    In the BOM for every 1 EA of X(Parent) we need .025 EA of Y(Child)
    The parent part is X. Using CS03 and typing in a quantity of 20 pcs everything looks perfect. I would consume component Y .500 of a sheet.
    If you review MFBF for 20 pcs. of X  it wants to consume 1.00 of Y. (1 whole sheet instead of .5)
    I know I could put a rounding value of 40 on the X to fix this but that would not be an option for this particular process. Measurements of each of these is not exactly the same and very critical.
    Is there an issue with SAP consuming fractions? It seems to round up to 1 whole sheet when it should only consume .500 of a sheet. Do you know of a way to fix this?
    Any info would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks,
    Safi

    For some reason which is unknown for me, this topic is very hard to manage within SAP.
    We face exactly the same issue producing Tanks from steel sheets.
    Base Unit of Measure was EA for Sheets . SO, we create a copy of EA called ED (each with decimals) , allowing up to three decimals and assign it as an alternate UoM to the material. In Bom, we had, for instance, 3.6 ED to produce a tank.
    But, in reservations the quantities are stored as Base Unit of measure and without decimals, regardless the fact that you a have an alternative UoM , etc etc.
    So, if you consume the component based on MIGO and reservations, SAP will propose 4 EA (o 4 ED ! which is even stranger - because of double conversion between base and alternative UoM) . If you consume by backflush, you dont even realise that the GI is being carried out in that way.
    We are still waiting for some solution after we sent a message, describing the issue. It is advisable to search the SAP Notes to see if there is some solution .
    So far, alternative UoM is not the solution.
    You must change the base unit of measure to ED or have some manual procedure of checking the quantities.
    Of course, EA can be redefined with decimal parts, also, but this normally can lead to some other problems (other parts managed striclty in EA, i. e. a tank,  could be managed in fractions, 0.75 of a tank !!! etc. )
