Need only two decimal places, but BigDecimal isn't working

Hello again. This time I've got a problem with getting only two decimal places. I tried using BigDecimal but when I compile it, I get an error "cannot find symbol class BigDecimal" and a "cannot find symbol variable BigDecimal".
Grrr... I just want my value to have only 2 decimal places before it ends up in my text field.
Any help will be appreciated.

                 change = cash1 - finalamt;
           BigDecimal finalamt2 = new BigDecimal(finalamt);
              finalamt2 = finalamt2.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_DOWN);
              BigDecimal change2 = new BigDecimal(change);
              change2 = change2.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_DOWN);
              finalamt = doubleValue(finalamt2);
              change = doubleValue(change2);

@ georgemc
Isn't it better to import whole packages instead so
you can have everything available when you call them?
I mean, it's kinda hard to import individual classes
everytime you need to call them.No. You can get conflicts when importing complete packages. If you importjava.awt.*;
java.util.*;and then declareList list;the compiler does not know which List you meant, java.util.List or java.awt.List.

LOL. When I was a kid still playing my Playstation I
wanted to have a career in computers when I got to
college. Now I'm 14 and a 3rd year high school
student and I just got a reality check -- computers
just isn't for me. And alot of those professionals
say Java is the "easiest" programming language. O_O
Meh. I'll just follow my other dream of becoming a
chef. Just seems like my parents won't like it...
Bleh... Two more years... Two more years...Sure, but if you like programming, work (hard) for it. Most people have to work hard in order to become good at something, no one is born as a programmer. This goes for becoming a chef as well.

Printing two decimal places from BigDecimal values

I am using BigDecimal to represent money values. My output needs to line up so that (with a non-proportional font) the decimal point and the two decimal places are in the same columns for each line. But when the dollar value has zero cents, or has a number of cents that is divisible by ten, it drops the trailing zeroes, and drops the decimal point if the decimal places are both zeroes. For example, I want to see "25.00" instead of "25" and "25.50" instead of "25.5". It doesn't seem to make any difference if I set the scale to 2. (I have resorted to getting the toString() of the BigDecimal and hacking the string before I display it, but surely there must be an easier way?)
      BigDecimal aaa = new BigDecimal("25");
      BigDecimal bbb = new BigDecimal("25.0");
      BigDecimal ccc = new BigDecimal("25.00");
      BigDecimal ddd = new BigDecimal("25.5");
      BigDecimal eee = new BigDecimal("25.50");
      BigDecimal fff = new BigDecimal("25.75");
      aaa.setScale(2);
      bbb.setScale(2);
      ccc.setScale(2);
      ddd.setScale(2);
      eee.setScale(2);
      fff.setScale(2);
      System.out.println("SCALE SET TO 2: ");
      System.out.println("aaa = " + aaa);
      System.out.println("bbb = " + bbb);
      System.out.println("ccc = " + ccc);
      System.out.println("ddd = " + ddd);
      System.out.println("eee = " + eee);
      System.out.println("fff = " + fff);produces this output:
SCALE SET TO 2:
aaa = 25
bbb = 25.0
ccc = 25.00
ddd = 25.5
eee = 25.50
fff = 25.75Thanks,
Martin

Thankyou Dr. Clap. This solved my problem - I added an LHS to the setScale statements:
      aaa = aaa.setScale(2);
      bbb = bbb.setScale(2);
      ccc = ccc.setScale(2);
      ddd = ddd.setScale(2);
      eee = eee.setScale(2);
      System.out.println("SCALE SET TO 2: ");
      System.out.println("aaa = " + aaa);
      System.out.println("bbb = " + bbb);
      System.out.println("ccc = " + ccc);
      System.out.println("ddd = " + ddd);
      System.out.println("eee = " + eee);produced:
SCALE SET TO 2:
aaa = 25.00
bbb = 25.00
ccc = 25.00
ddd = 25.50
eee = 25.50

Need to restrict numeric entry to two decimal places

Hello,
I have a cfform with a cfinput of type=text. I need to restrict what can be entered into the cfinput so that it allows only two decimal places. I have tried the mask, but it won't work because "99999.99" will not allow 12.34 and "99.99" will not allow 12345.67.
I have read about validate and pattern but I've never used them. I don't know JavaScript, but I can copy and paste pretty well.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jim

What particular percent complete are you having trouble with?
*(Found in the P6 knowledgebase) This issue is an existing Enhancement Request. It will be considered for a future release*
Other than that, maybe try creating a global change to manually calculate your percents.
hope this helps,

Uploading Number with Two Decimal Places

I am trying to import data from my excel file to table in the database using SQL Developer.
It is working fine except that in my excel file I have data with two decimal places, but during import it shows only one decimal place. Is there any way I can import data with two decimal places?

This works well with SQL Dev 1.5.X.
Guess it would have been a bug in prior versions.

Rounding to two decimal places in BPC/NW

Hello,
I am dealing with the task to round values to two decimal places. I have found some discussions in BPC-MS where the statement ROUND should work in logic. Unfortunately I am not able to make it work in the NW version.
Isn't there also a parameter in the appset or application administration which would cut the numbers only to two decimal places (this task would be also a possible solution for us).
Thanks for any help
Jan

Hello Pravin,
the second import worked fine. I realized that the class has changed to ZCL_BPC_SL_ROUND.
I debugged the class and noticed that the parameter it_cv is not filled at all. Therefore the program ends before starting the rounding procedure. Here is the part of the code:
Take CV into account
clear l_success.
loop at it_cv into ls_cv.
    clear l_val_string.
    loop at ls_cv-member into l_member.
      if sy-tabix eq 1.
        l_val_string = l_member.
      else.
        concatenate l_val_string l_member into l_val_string separated by ','.
      endif.
    endloop.
    if l_val_string ne space.
      l_success = add_dim_restriction( i_param = l_val_string i_dimension = ls_cv-dimension i_clear = abap_true ).
      if l_success eq abap_false.
        concatenate 'Failed to successfully add Dimension' ls_cv-dimension into l_log_msg
        separated by space.
        cl_ujk_logger=>log( l_log_msg ).
        cl_ujk_logger=>log( 'Exiting Round Method' ).
        cl_ujk_logger=>empty_line( ).
        raise exception type cx_uj_custom_logic
          exporting messages = et_message.
        exit.
      endif.
    endif.
endloop.
if l_success eq abap_false. exit. endif. - here the program exits and therefore doesn't do any rounding.
If I comment this part the system rounds correctly but runs on all records in the cube which degrades performance a lot.
Could you please advice further if it is possible to restrict the data region only to the submitted data?
Best regards
Jan

How to take float precision to two decimal places?

Hi, everybody:
I'm a straight noob...first week in Java programming. Before you bash me for not checking FAQs and such, believe me, I have.
I have tried BigDecimal movePointLeft, but I don't know how to construct it using proper syntax. I also tried currency and toString but I keep messing up my syntax somehow. Four hours into this and nothing is working.
Here is the problem: I have a float. I want to format its output to two decimal places, trying to achieve in Java what C would produce as:
printf("The amount you owe is $%.2f", fltAnyName);
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Sorry, guys. I have tried both recommendations and I can't get either to work. I'm getting a compile error pointing to the delineating period between the "out" and "printf" when I try the C-like code. I have 1.5, too. I know your advice is sound so I must be doing something wrong. Can you insert the code DecimalFormat code that will correct this problem where it needs to go? The packages below have been included becasue of all the different solutions I have attempted.
import java.io.*;
import java.math.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class CoinCalculator2
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException

          BufferedReader dataIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
          System.out.println("THE COIN CALCULATOR");
          System.out.println();

               strQuartes = dataIn.readLine();

Trunc percentage two decimal places

I have a report that has the option of dispalying pdf or excel. I have the pdf version working fine but i am having a little trouble on the excel version. I have a grand total and department total. Basically I need help formating two decimal places. Both dept_total and grand_total are numbers that both display. I have another column that displays what percent of the total is from each dept.It currently returns a number such as 10.23383547957459973 which i need to display as 10.23 How can i incorporate the trunc function into this code?
...to_char((dept_total/grand_total) *100)
The query looks similar to this.
select
to_char(a._grand_total)
,to_char(a.dept_total)
,to_char((dept_total/grand_total) *100)
from(
select sum(xxxx) grand_total,
sum(xxxx) dept_total
from table)a

Hi,
Since you're calling TO_CHAR anyway, you can add a 2nd argument, specifying two decimal places:
select
 a._grand_total
, a.dept_total
, to_char ((dept_total/grand_total) *100, '999999999.99') AS pct
from (
 select sum (xxxx) grand_total,
 sum (xxxx) dept_total -- Why have two copies of the same value?
 from table
 )a If you're not using a 2nd argument, why use TO_CHAR at all in this query?
This will round the value, not truncate it. That is, if the value is 10.23583547957459973, it would display '10.24', not '10.23'. If you always want to round toward 0 (rather than to the nearest multiple of .01), then use TRUNC.

Storeing values in floate data type upto two decimal places

Hi
I want a float type field in my table but want to store value up to two decimal places.
so what syntax i need to follow plz suggest.
thanks

it is not possible to store with Number datatype. if you are using the data to sho report, then change its format (like 45 to 45.00). if you want to store 45.00 in database, then you have to modify the datatype for that column. for this follow the following path
1. Add a column of datatype Varchar2.
2. Copy all the value of your number field to it.
3. Drop the old column.
4. However make sure that if you have used that column somewhare in arithmetic calculation, the modify it and use to_number function to do arithmetic opration.

Convert amount with four decimal places to amount with two decimal places

Hi,
for specific reasons we have set the prices to four decimal places. However, in an invoice the staff needs to see all prices with two decimal places. Therefore I have created new user-defined fields which should show the rounded values However, I have not yet found the right formatted search that outputs the value with two decimal places including currency symbol.
The statement
SELECT $[$38.20.NUMBER]
outputs the value with two decimal places which is fine, but it does not contain the currency.
The statement
SELECT $[$38.20.0]
outputs both value and currency, but the value still has four decimal places as the original price.
And the statement
SELECT CAST($[$38.20.NUMBER] AS VARCHAR(20)) + $[$38.20.CURRENCY]
outputs a value with even six decimal places.
Did anyone already have the same problem???
Or does anyone have any idea???
Thanks and regards
Corinna

Hi again,
the value should be displayed in a user-defined field of the screen.
The result of the query
SELECT $[$38.20.NUMBER]
has already two decimal places, so that I do not need a round here. But the currency is missing.
When I add the round function to the query
SELECT $[$38.20.0]
it does unfortunatly result in an error.
Any ideas????
Thanks so much in advance!

Price per unit is getting round off to two decimal places.

Hi Gurus,
In the Billing output, the Price per unit is getting round off to two decimal places.
How can we avoid this or allow 4 decimal places for such cases.
In the same pricing procedure, we have two pricing condition types PR02 and ZR01.
When PR02 is being used,it doesnt rounds off Price per unit.e.g .578888 = .578888
But when ZR01 is being used the system rounds off price per unit.e.g.578888 = .58
Please suggest where is the setting for it.
Thanks
Montee

Hi,
Which currency you are using? If its INR, then it will do only for 2 decimal places.
The solution for ur problem can be ractified by changing the scales :
Also check OSS 80183

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.

Limiting AS distance to two decimal places

I am just about there getting the Google Maps API talking to my SQL database. For my search results I have the SQL:
SELECT *, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(" .$POST["latitude"] .") ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(" .$POST["longitude"] .") ) + sin( radians(" .$_POST["latitude"] .") ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) AS distance FROM VenuesGeocodes1 HAVING distance < 100 ORDER BY distance LIMIT 0 , 30;
Which works great, but displays the distance with 15 decimal places which is complete overkill.
How can I limit that to just two decimal places? I thought I just needed to change distance to distance (10,2), but it didn't like it.
If anyone can let me know what it should be that would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Rob - I also got it to work using ROUND in the query:
SELECT *, ROUND( 3959 * acos....

Getting an error in CIF Inbound queue:"Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC"

Hi,
I am getting an error in CIF Inbound queue (function: CIF_ORDER_INBOUND_30A). The error text says "Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC".
Can anyone point out the solution to resolve this error? It would be a big help for me as I am new to APO and so getting difficult to find a clue for it.
Thanks.
Regards
Mansi

Hi Mansi,
Please check the cif queue you will get the order number from that order number you can find out material code. Then check the material master unit of measure in MM03 you have used some alternative unit of measure and system is unable to convert order to alternative unit of measure because of decimal setting. If you go to CUNI and check the unit if measure PC it is not permitted for decimal places. If you need decimal than change the UoMof Material and use diff UoM or allow the decimal for PC which is not good practice.

How to set two decimal places in currency inr

hi,
i want to set two decimal places for my co.code currencu inr. In t-code oy04 there is no 2 decimal places. Please tell me how set decimal places so that amount in account balances should be in two decimal places.
thanks
amol

Hello,
If your currency code entry isn't in OY04 customizing step, your currency code has 2 decimal place automaticly. If you want to define a special decimal place without "2", you must define it in OY04.
