Leading zeros are removed when uploading excel

Hi All,
I have created a program to send an email with an excel attachment but the leading zero's in excel are removed. can anybody suggest what can be done other than replace since that exceeds 255chars so i cant concatenate.

Hi
Try adding the character ' (single quote) before the actual value. Excel then treats the value as-is whithout conversion
character type for columns
data: h_columns        TYPE ole2_object,
      h_cell           TYPE ole2_object.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Columns' = h_columns
EXPORTING
    #1 = 'F:K'.
set property of h_columns 'NumberFormat' = '@'.
CALL METHOD OF excel 'Cells' = h_cell
EXPORTING
    #1 = 14
    #2 = 7.
SET PROPERTY OF h_cell 'Value' = '0001'.

Leading Zeroes are lost when convert from string to int

What I'm trying to do is simple yet the solution has seemed difficult to find.
I have a system that requires 4 digit numbers as "requisitionNo". The system uses JSPs and accepts the 4 digit number that the user inputs (fyi - duplicate handling is already managed). The input number (rNumber) is of STRING type and in the action (using struts) is converted to an int:
int requisitionNo = Integer.parseInt(rNumber);At that very line the issue is that when the user inputs a number with leading zeros such as: "0001" the 3 leading zeros are chopped off in the INT conversion. The application validation kicks in and says: "A 4 digit number is required" which is by design. The work around has been that the user has been putting in number that start with 9's or something like that, but this isn't how the system was intended to be used.
How do I keep the leading zeroes from being lost instead of saving a number "1" to the database how do I keep it saving "0001" to the database? Would I just change everything to STRING on down to the database? or is there another number type that I can be using that will not chop off the leading zeroes? Please provide short code references or examples to be more helpful.

Yeah, I have to agree here that leading zeroes make no sense. I figured that out when I started to look into this problem. The only requirement that exists is that the user wants it to be a 4 digit number due to some other requirement they have themselves.
So what I'm gathering from what I've read in the responses thus far is that I should change the validation a bit to look at the STRING for the 4 required digits (which are really 4 characters; maybe I should add CLIENT side numeric validation; currently its doing server side numeric/integer validation; or maybe change up the server side validation instead???) and if they are ALL GOOD then let the application save the int type as it wants to. IE: Let it save "0001" as just "1" and when I come back to DISPLAY this saved number to the user I should append the string of "000" in front of the 1 for display purposes only? Am I understanding everyone correctly?

Leading zeros are dropped when exporting as csv

I have a report that when I export as csv, leading zeros in text columns are dropped in excel. The text columns appear fine in the report, however, when I export the leading zero is gone in excel. For example, in the report my text column could have a value of 0101, when it is exported to excel it has a value of 101. The code behind the link to export to csv is f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION.:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R#REGION_ID#
Is there a way to keep the leading zero in excel?
Regards
Mark

Thanks for your reply. In my query I wrapped the column with double quotes as you suggest, and added the same column for display:
select '"'||column1||'"' execl_col, column1 disp_col from table where ....
Using htmldb_application.g_excel_format as a conditional display I can control what is displayed on the screen and export to csv the double quoted text field. I have that part working fine. Using my previous data example, I am now seeing in excel 0101"".
Did I wrap the field incorrectly with double quotes? How can I exclude the
double quotes in the export to csv?

Leading zeroes are being suppressed in excel output

I have a template that prints our item number field. This field is alpha-numeric, but sometimes it is all numeric with leading zeroes. I have it defined as a text field in my template. It prints correctly (with the leading zeroes) in the PDF output, but it suppresses the leading zeros in the excel output. Is there any way to stop it from doing this - I want it to be a text field.

Thanks. That sort of works. In the excel output, it is truncating the field after the first 4 digits even though the length is defined as 'unlimited'. In the PDF output, it prints the double quotes around the field.

Leading zeros are not displaying in the excel

Hi Experts,
Leading zeros are not displaying in the excel
Here is the situation:
I have developed one report, which will create the file in Application server with TAB deleimeted. After that I am sending that file via email in the excel format using Email functionality FM.
Normally our material numbers will start with zeros.
But when I check the email excel file , leading zeros are not displaying.
Even I checked the application server (AL11) file, zeros are there.
I thought program FM was wrong and I tried it manually by downloading the file into excel. Eventhough it is suppressing zeros.
Could you please advise, how to display leading zeros to the material number in excel file.
Thanks in advance
Raghu

Application server file showing zeros infront of the material number.
1200# 0012401387# XXXXXXXX
Once file created in app server, I am using one custom FM to send that output in excel format / txt format via email.
when I send txt file via email, I am getting leading zeros. But when I send xls file via email, I am not getting zeros.
I checked custom FUNCTION MODULE . No mistakes in that.
===
Sudhir,
As you said, I passed ( ' ) single quote infront of the material number. When I check the excel file, single quote also displaying like this '0000100.
Application server file showing like below
1200# '0012401387# XXXXXXXX
===
Could you please advise anyone how can we acheive this.
Thanks

Leading zeros are truncated during EXPORT

I am having a report consist of some numberic columns like Emplid (0011, 0223, 00045). When I do the export, these zero's are getting dropped in the csv file.
so in csv file I am having 11, 223, 45 values
How to avoid this??

Hi,
I tried with following query...just added =
select empno ,'="'||empno||'"' empno_excel from emp;
it's working perfectly. Can someone explain me how putting = is removing the leading zero's.
Also I want to show only Excel coulmn in my CSV file. How can I do that.
Is there any API to hide columns in Excel file??
thanks,

Leading zeros are disappearing!!

Hello
I am downloading sales order data from SAP (ECC 6.0) to a spread sheet/Excel (2003 and 2010 versions) on desktop.
I am sending the sales order # as 0012345678, customer # as 0087654321, sales org as 0123 (saw in debug mode), but, when i check the downloaded data in Excel, they are displaying as sales order # as 12345678, customer # as 87654321, sales org as 123, meaning the leading zeros got disappeared! I knew that this can be handled in excel settings by going formatting the cells into the associated fields lengths, like ten zeros for sales order #
But, business do not want do not want to do these kind of settings in the excle spread sheet! asking me to handle programitically of SAP side, pls let me know how to fix it?
Thank you

Pass the data in internal table as text using formula to the excel like below.
CONCATENATE '=T("' l_f_vbeln '")' INTO wa-vbeln.
CONCATENATE '=T("' l_f_kunnr '")' INTO wa-kunnr.
CONCATENATE '=T("' l_f_vkorg '")' INTO wa-vkorg.
APPEND wa TO itab.
"Now pass itab to excel. Leading zeros will be present

SharePoint 2013 Foundation error when uploading Excel files

Hello
I have a specific problem. I have an xlsx file that I cannot upload in SharePoint. Normally our SharePoint can upload Excel files and other file formats normally but this one has data with nearly 5000 rows. The size of the file is less then 500 KB. The error
message is: "The URL is invalid. Perhaps it refers to a nonexistent file or folder, or it refers to a valid file or folder in the current Web." When I am uploading this file I am getting the same error message in every library. When I save
the file as a 97-2003 compatible xls then it works. Sometimes even Excel files with Macros won't upload.
Kind regards

Hi,
This issue occurs when the Version column is configured as an Indexed Column.

Browse to the list where the issue exists.
In the ribbon, click the Library tab, and then click
Library Settings.
In the fields list, click Indexed Columns.
In the Indexed Columns list, click Version.

Hi,
try to explain to excel, that this field is character field (I think that it will be done by adding single quote as first character of string).
Pointing to my previous answer try:
Constants: c_single_quote(1) type c value ''''. " I _hope_ it works
loop at itab.
concatenate c_single_quote itab-matnr to texttab-c_matnr.
endloop.

Ensuring items are removed when session is destroyed

I have a Spring 2.5 MVC application with the ACEGI security framework on top of that. This application allows the user to upload many files and then "publish" them as a whole. I need to ensure that these files are deleted if the following happens:
1. The user clicks cancel (done, processCancel)
2. The session expires (trying HttpSessionListener)
3. The user navigates away from the page (This can probably fall under session expiration)
4. The user closes the browser(This can probably fall under session expiration)
Currently I implement the HttpSessionListener. I am not getting the same ID on sessionDetroyed that I am getting on sessionCreated. I'm assuming either the session is already destroyed before that event fires. Also, the sessionDestroyed event does not fire when I close the Firefox browser, but it does when I close Internet Explorer.
I was thinking that I can put a static reference to a map of files that need deleted on session expiration in the listener, but I'm still not sure how to link the session ID to the files or the username of the currently logged in user. Basically I need to verify that the files I am deleting do not belong to a user who is still logged in. Is there a better way to do this?

I'm assuming either the session is already destroyed before that event fires. The sessionDestroyed event occurs after the session is taken out of commission but before it is invalidated. Every session gets destroyed and will have this sessionDestroyed event called. If you are using sessionEvent.getSession().getID() that will be the ID of the session about to be invalidated. It is hard to say why you are getting different sessions, but my guess is that you get the sessionID early in your app and somewhere you force a new session to be created and you are mixing the two sessions here. Some code may help figure this out. The second session would eventually expire, though, after the session timeout occurs.
Also, the sessionDestroyed event does not fire when I close the Firefox browser, but it does when I close Internet Explorer.Sessions are not destroyed when a browser closes. They are destroyed when you explicitly call a session.invalidate() or when the session times out. If you waited whatever period of time your session is set to timeout after you close the browser, that is when the sessionDestroyed method would be called.

It gets confusing when you start to worry about class loaders and is too easy to flub. Better would be a map stored in the application context that both your main application has access to and the HttpSessionListener (via the HttpSession object) has access to. But I would also think about wrapping the references to the file in a 'SessionFile' object which would implement HttpSessionBindingListener and would delete itself when the valueUnbound event occurs. So the file would be deleted when the session ends as well as when you simply delete it from the session. No need for an external map in the context/static scope, or an HttpSessionListener running in the background.
public class SessionFile implements HttpBindingListener {
    private final File file;
    private boolean fileInSession = false;
    public SessionFile(File file) { this.file = file; }
    public File getFile() {
        if (!fileInSession) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Can not access File. It is no longer stored in session.");
        return this.file; }
    public void valueBound(HttpSessionBindingEvent event) {
        this.fileInSession = true;
        /* any special action when added to the session? */
    public void valueUnbound(HttpSessionBindingEvent event) {
        this.fileInSession = false;
        // delete the file here
}

Safari extensions are removed when behind proxy

Since 10.7.4 (I'm guessing) my Safari extensions are removed whenever I login at my office location.
I recive an error stating:
"Safari can't use extension XYZ because the extension is no longer Valid"....
The extension is then removed. Back home I can reinstall and use as normal.
As I mentioned this is a relative new "feature"
My company uses proxy servers, to manage Internet access.
My Computer is not managed by IT, they have no permissions or control over it.
This "feature" only occures when I'm in the office.
All Extensions are removed!

I have the same issue. I use the Cloak VPN when using free hotel wifi. When I connected yesterday, Safari dumped a bunch of my extensions - gone. I reinstalled some of the key ones and they worked fine. The wifi at his hotel is pay-per-day and when I signed up again this morning and used Cloak, Safari dumped the remaining extensions it did not trash yesterday, plus the two that I reinstalled.
Using Safari 5.1.6 on Lion 10.7.4.
