Leading zeros with 24-hour clock?

I have my system preferences set to 24-hour clock.
How do I get the times to display with leading zeros?
For example, 06:45 instead of 6:45?

As I said before, you need to explore. I was able to add it in less than 30 seconds.
Let me try to explain. It is easy to do, but more difficult to explain.
Go to Sys Prefs/Int'l/Formats pane. Choose Custom in the Times area. Choose Medium in the Show drop down menu. (Medium seems to be the one used by OS X for the menu bar clock.) Here you can arrange the order of the different components as you like. Notice they have little arrows indicating drop down menus. Most of the optional formats offer a leading zero.
Even though you have formatted it in the Int'l pane, you must choose for some of your formating to show in the Date & Time/Clock pane.
Good Luck.

Is it possible to have the 24-hour clock display a leading zero? Such as 09:00 instead of 9:00.

Printing calendar with 12 hour clocks

I have my Mac set up with 24 hour clocks. I don't like having to remember which oxymoronic 12 am or 12 pm a computer uses.
But I need to print up calendars to share with people who seem to have troubles with this. It is obvious in reading whether an event is in morning or afternoon. Is there an easy way to print up a calendar using a different time default from my computer's default?
(I also can't trust what date midnight is).

Calendar is tied to your system preferences, you can switch it off just for printing.

Leading zero no longer showing up for hour in clock.

I know this is a nitpick, but the leading zero for the hour no longer shows up in the menu bar clock no matter what the settings are. Also there is no option to display the date in numeric form.

Hello Ben:
I had not noticed that before, but I do see what you mean.
I have not played with it, but take a look at system preferences>date & time and then click on +"open language & text."+ Perhaps that might be a way to have the display change. As I said, I have not played with it since I am OK with the current display.

EBS check number with leading zeros

When we upload EBS, we are getting the check number in the record 16 (reference field). But unlike the check number posted in SAP, the check number in the BAI file has 2 leading zeros. Now since check number is coming in record 16, instead of record 88 we are not able to solve this problem through String configuration.
So, we thought of following solutions(Options):
1. Modify the check lot numbers to have two leading zeros plus associated changes like the form and so on.
2. Modify the check number in the incoming file u2013 strip the check number with two leading zeros with the use of customer enhancement. (After upload and before posting)
Can we solve the problem of leading zeros (before the check number) through any configuration steps instead of changing the SAP script form for check(Check lot) or going for customer enhancement.
Thanks
Ron

You are correct, since the check numbers are coming through only in the 16 records and not in the 88 records, you cannot use a search string to resolve the issue with leading zeros. Also, I do not know of any other configuration that can be used to reformat the reference values in the 16 records.
The 2 solutions you have listed are both valid options. Although with the first option (changing the check lots), you would need to make sure the business users approved of changing the check lots before going forward with that option. And you would still have to manually clear checks that had been issued prior to the check lot change.
At my company, we went with the second option - using ABAP code to update the check numbers from the file to match those in SAP (we actually had to add leading zeros to the check numbers). In our case, we had already created a pre-processor program for other re-formatting of the file that was needed prior to loading it into SAP - so we added the check number logic to that.
However, if you do not have a pre-processor program, I know there is a user exit available for EBS - exit EXIT_RFEBBU10_001, include ZXF01U01. I have heard of others using this exit to update the check numbers from 16 records. The exit is called during the FF.5 processing.

IR truncating leading zeros in my popup window report

Hello,
I am using IR_columnname, for one of the columns in my report which is a popup window report.
My problem is that IR_column search filter in my popup window is truncating the leading zeros.
I am getting the value but it is truncating the leading zeros.
like say if the deptno is something like 020 or 0020 in the parent window.
the IR_columnname value is taking '20' (its truncating leading zeros) with this filter its not dispalying the result in my popup window.
can anyone help me out with this.
thanks.

How are you passing values to the IR filter? There could be a possibility that you source logic is truncating the leading zeros.
Thanks,
Manish

Urgent........How to add leading zeros to negative values.....

I know to adding leading zeros with the help of CONVERSION_EXIT FM.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Use below FM.
CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT
Try out below FM with the above one.
CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT
ISJP_GET_SIGN
or you can use
WRITE variable USING EDIT MASK '-___________'.
or
CONCATENATE syntax
Hope it will solve your problem

Delete leading zeros of Attributes in Webclient UI

Hello,
to make the UI more userfriendly i used Function module "CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT" in the GET_* Method of some attributes. For displaymode this works fine.
Also in Editmode the leading zeros are gone. But in Edit mode the data is no longer displayed right-justified in the field.
For example if i deleted 4 leading zeros with this function module there are 4 spaces at the end of the number in display mode.
Does anybody know how this can be changed?
Thank you
Best regards
Manfred

Hi Manfred,
I believe, never tried though, that you can control this via the M-Getter method.
Implement one for your attribute and give a DDIC datatype that is displayed right justified in other cases.
cheers Carsten

Leading zeros are coming in assignment field

Hi,
We have posted customer advance document through F-29 and we are giving cheque number in assignment field which is of six digits. But after running transaction FF68 system creates one session and when we execute that session system creates one accounting document but changes the cheque number with 13 digits value(seven leading zeros with cheque number). If we follow the above process in (development server)system is only showing cheque number without any leading zeros but the settings of both the servers are same.
Request immediate help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Check the notes notes 106971 and 10714 which explains about leading zeros.

How do I use the print function to output a numeric variable with a fixed amount of leading zeroes

I need to create an output from a T-SQL query that picks a numeric variable and uses the print function to output with leading zeroes if it is less than three characters long when converted to string. For example if the variable is 12 the output should
be 012 and if the variable is 3 the output should be 003.
Presently the syntax I am using is PRINT STR(@CLUSTER,3) . But if @CLUSTER which is numeric is less than three characters I get spaces in front.
Please help!

>> I need to create an output from a T-SQL query .. <<
NO! NO! In RDBMS, we have a presentation layer that handles displays. We do not ever do it in the database. This is fundamental. But more than that, the purpose of PRINT is for debugging in T-SQL and never for output.
You are still writing 1960's COBOL or BASIC, but you want to to it in SQL. You probably picked the wrong data type (a numeric that should be a string) and are trying to repair your design error.

IR - Column with leading Zeros issue

Hello,
I've got an IR report which includes as "default report settings" 1 column with leading 0s. In order to export to Excel that column as text rather than as a numeric I followed a workaround proposed before in this forum (excel copy drops leading zeros
In essence this workaround is to create an identifical column but in "excel text format" and display the columns depending on the request value: INSTR(NVL(:REQUEST,'YABBADABBADO'),'CSV') <> 0 for example.
This works just fine for the default report.
The problem arise when a user creates his own customise report that includes the mentioned column and saves it as a named report. Here, when the results are exported to excel the "excel" column does not appear.
In fact, just hiding one of the displayed columns produces the same undesired result.
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Many thanks

I have found a better method. In your IR query:
SELECT LPAD(v.vendor, 7, ' ') vendor,
/*Just LPAD to a length of the column defined in the database table or to 7, whichever is greater. */
FROM v, r
WHERE v.VENDOR = r.VENDOR
AND date_rcv <= to_date(:P150_CUTOFF,'yyyy/mm/dd')
AND inv_nbr = ' '
AND to_stores <> 'T'
AND (V.VENDOR = RPAD(:P150_VENDOR,10,' ') OR :P150_VENDOR = 'ALL')
When you download to Excel by Download/XLS (Request=XLS), it preserves the leading zeros.
In the case of dates, you should LPAD 10 minimum in this format.
LPAD(to_char(date_rcv,'MM/DD/YY'), 10, ' ') date_rcv,
I haven’t tried it yet but I think in the case of ‘MM/DD/YYYY’, you should LPAD 12 minimum in this format.
LPAD(to_char(date_rcv,'MM/DD/YYYY'), 12, ' ') date_rcv,
Drawbacks of this method:
Since the string has leading white spaces, you cannot use the filter for the ‘=’ comparison operator. Even filtering using leading white spaces will not return anything. You must use the LIKE and NOT LIKE operator instead.
Advantages of this method over the original one I posted yesterday:
1) You do not have to create another column for download, just one column will suffice.
2) Even though the query has leading white spaces, they will not display in the IR region.

ABAP-based web service returns numeric values with leading zeros

Hi SOA experts,
I have created a web service out of an ABAP function module. Beside other values, this service returns a list of document numbers. All of these numeric values are returned by the web service with leading zeros, but we do want these values w/o leading zeros.
Any ideas how I can tell the web service to not print any leading zeros?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards, Matthias
PS: The according function module does not print any leading zeros for the numeric values

hi,
just a guess: I'd try to use I instead of NUMC for the document numbers.
NUMC is no number but a character string with numeric characters only. only some display routines in SAP know that this string of numerals represents a number and omit leading zeroes.
my 2 cents,
anton

Need formula to take text from one cell, add that to a serial number with leading zeros

I'm trying to create a spreasdheet cell that simplifies creating videotape Numbers from a job name in cell and appends a serial number with leading zeros, and that would survive an export to EXCEL.
The result would look like
A Column
Job Name
B ColumnTape #
Formula needed for B
ClientName-TapeType-
ClientName-TapeType-001
=
ClientName-TapeType-
ClientName-TapeType-002
=
I've tried using a custom cell format that had the text in front of the (Integer) drag and drop, with three integers and leading zeros.
That worked, but requires recreating the custom cell format for each client and tape type.
So, I've used the formula =A2& in order to play around with different things, but haven't hit on something that adjusts for increased numbers and retains the leading zeros.
I don't mind doing a starter for the first row and then adding +1 in the formulas for the rows below.
I've done that using the custom cell formats for the first B cell and then using =Bx+1 in the following cells. It works, but I'm hoping to find something simpler or that can be copied and pasted in multiple rows on one paste.
Thanks in advance.
Suggestions much appreciated!
Ted

Ted,
This expression in B will give you the pattern I believe you are looking for:
=A&RIGHT("00"&ROW()-1, 3)
Here's a screen shot...
