Keyfigures :decimal vs floating

Hello,
Currently we are working with decimal key figures.But now onwards we are going to work with floating point key figures.
I want to know will there be any repercussions of it from performance point of view...??

Hi.
There will be no impact on performance as it is just the format and calculations take same time as it happens in binary format in background.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,
S

Divide Result in decimal or float

Hi,
Here i am doing division calculation for two int values.
payroll occbeddays result
2168 2969 0
But i want the result as 0.73
How can i got this?
@temp_STATSCAL AVGPAYROLL is money datatype.
INSERT INTO @temp_STATSCAL (FACILITY,AVGPAYROLL)
SELECT r.FACILITY,
CASE WHEN s.OCCBEDDAYS >0 THEN
r.PAYROLL/s.OCCBEDDAYS
ELSE
0
END
FROM @temp_STATS s
CROSS JOIN @temp_REVENUE r WHERE r.FACILITY=s.FACILITY

You can use this code also
Select
Convert(decimal(10,2),(Convert(decimal,2168)/
Convert(decimal,2969)))
[Result]

Is it possible to convert a float to two decimal places

Can anyone help me to convert a float to two decimal places
float f=16;
System.out.println(f);
It will print 16.0
But I want to get printed as 16.00

"convert" no, as no conversion is needed, obviously. Format the output, yes. Read the API for String and its printf method.

Convertion Hex String to 32bits Decimal floating point??

Hi,
I would like to know how to convert hexa like: 416b0ac3 in decimal 32bits floating-point. The result of this string is suppose to be 14.690127.
So i must be able to do:

You can use the typecast function to do this.

SQLT_NUM mapping to int, float, decimal

Hi there,
I use OCI calls to get the data type of my attributes. OCI treats integer, decimal and float as SQLT_NUM type internally. I use OCCIAttrGet() to get the scale and precision of these data types. How do I classify them as int, float and decimal based on scale and precision??
Thanks,
Sashi

If scale = 0 then use int (watch out for ranges though - Oracle can hold integers far greater than the int datatype can hold).
If scale > 0 then you use either float or decimal (I assume you mean double). I suppose which one you use depends on the range of values / precision required.

Removing decimal in mapping

Hi,
How do I remove decimal from float (source) to unsigned integer (target) in graphical mapping?
For eg:
Source = 1500.23
Target = 150023
Reg,
Shobhit

If you want a quick way of just letting numbers to pass, use:
return a.replaceAll([^0-9], "");
in a UDF.

Unit of measure EA allows transactions in decimals ? Is EA indivisible?

Unit of measure EA allows transactions in decimals ? Is EA indivisible?
There are two scenarios. While creating a Bill of material - based on the configuration (see below) if you enter a quantity with decimals for a part number for which the Basic UOM is EA the system displays a message "Unit of measure EA does not support decimal places" THIS IS GOOD AS EXPECTED
While transacting using MB1B, MB1C, MB1A, MFBF, MIGO or other transactions the system DOES NOT check and it is currently allowing us to post with decimals (1.25, 1.312) for part number for which the unit of measure is EA.
Was not EA supposed to be an indivisible unit of measure? why is the warning message getting activated while creating or changing a BOM and why not while transacting stock?
We have configured EA in the CUNI transaction as follows:
Int. meas. unit      EA
Commercial           EA              each
Technical            EA              each
Decimal places
float. point exp.
ISO code             EA
                                      Primary code
Numerator            1
Denominator          1
Exponent             0
Additive constant    0.000000       X Commercial meas.unit
Decimal pl. rounding                 Value-based commt
Unit of meas.family

you cannot restrict this behaviour with CUNI customizing, you can only check and stop this in a user exit.
SAP inventory managment allows and stores 3 decimals for any unit of measure. You can only define how it will show the value to the users and how it will round the decimals if it calculates the conversion. But if you enter manually with decimals, then SAP will not round this.
please read OSS Note 931971 - Decimal places in stocks and stock postings
and
Note 77525 - Quantity unit conversion in inventory management

You may need to scrub some of the data prior to using it as an external table. For instance, ensure that you do not have any extra commas lingering around somewhere within the data as this could cause mapping issues with the data. I've used this process hundreds of times, and more often than not there is an extra comma somewhere that is causing the issue.

How do you determine a column's data type?

Let's say I have a DB Table out there and I have NO WAY of knowing that column 1 is a CHAR, column 2 is a SMALLINT or whatever. I can write sql to select * from table and see everything, but how do I know what each column's data type is?

I found it. Thanks, and for any other people who need the solution, here is what I found on another thread:
int type; try { type = i_metaData.getColumnType(column+1); } catch (SQLException e) { return super.getColumnClass(column); } switch(type) { case Types.CHAR: case Types.VARCHAR: case Types.LONGVARCHAR: return String.class; case Types.BIT: return Boolean.class; case Types.TINYINT: case Types.SMALLINT: case Types.INTEGER: return Integer.class; case Types.BIGINT: return Long.class; case Types.FLOAT: case Types.DOUBLE: return Double.class; case Types.DATE: return java.sql.Date.class; case Types.TIMESTAMP: //Date Time return java.sql.Date.class; case Types.DECIMAL: // Currency,Decimal return Float.class; default: return Object.class; } }

Error setting the selected item in a dropdown component in a BPM

Hi,
The first step in the process is a human step where it's possible to select country in a dropdown box. The second step is also a human step where I try to display the same context that was selected in the first step.
I use the "merge" operation in the mapping, but the item that I select in the first step in the process is not selected in the second step in the process.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Best Regards
Michael

Hi Michael,
Only simlple types are supported in WD for EHP1 (Binary, boolean, byte, date, decimal, double, float, integer, long, short, string, time, timestamp)
No further Dictionary Types supported
(for example: currency)

How to extract the cobol files into owb

Hi
How to extract the cobol files in owb,I am using OWB9.2.
Ex:I am having 2 records DCEC4000100 9159000050C those values are 5 bytes 'RAVI and 6 bytes '15000'.
Using contorl file i am trying to load these into Oracle,But i am not able into insert these records into Oracle.
Can any tell me how to handle this kind of situation?
Regards,
Rupak

Good morning Ashok,
Your data is in a SQL*Loader supported datatype, so basically it should not be a problem.
Have you checked the Database Utilities guide (for Oracle9i for instance: http://www.lc.leidenuniv.nl/awcourse/oracle/server.920/a96652/toc.htm) on how to handle this?
I'll also repeat my previous question, have you ever been able to load data into the database using SQL*Loader (either using ASCII values or any other datatype)?
For the OWB part, have you read "Importing Data Definitions" (typically chapter 4)? More specifically, "Specifying Field Properties" in "About Flat File Sources and Targets"?
In "SQL*Loader Properties" it says the following:
Type Describes the data type of the field for the SQL*Loader. You can use the Flat
File Sample Wizard to import the following data types: CHAR, DATE, DECIMAL
EXTERNAL, FLOAT EXTERNAL, INTEGER EXTERNAL, ZONED , AND ZONED
EXTERNAL. For complete information on SQL*Loader field and data types, refer to
Oracle9i Utilities. Currently, only portable datatypes are supported.
If you check the database utitlities guide (chapter 6 Field List Reference) and look for "SQL*Loader Datatypes", you'll find (packed) decimal under the Nonportable Datatypes. This implies that OWB does not support it.
This does not mean you can't use SQL*Loader, you'll only have to define everything separate from OWB and call it separately as well.
Good luck, Patrick
