Non truncation of Leading Zero

Hi All,
I am downloading a .xls file using the function module "GUI_DOWNLOAD".
But it is truncating the leading zero's in some fileds.
For example : in the field Account group , value is "0001" but in .xls file it is coming as "1".
Can anyone please help me on how to avoid this truncation of leading zeros.
Thanks and Regards,
Nimisha Deshpande.

Just execute this porgram and check ur result .
For this u need to handle the file type as DBF .
types: begin of t_dat,
         fld1(30) type c,
         fld2(30) type c,
       end of t_dat.
data: it_dat type table of t_dat,
      wa_dat type t_dat.
wa_dat-fld1 = '12345678901234567890'.
wa_dat-fld2 = '00000000000000043210'. "->
append wa_dat to it_dat.
wa_dat-fld1 = '12345678901234567890'.
wa_dat-fld2 = '00000000000000543210'."->ur input
append wa_dat to it_dat.

Need to truncate extra leading zeros

Post Author: dougatrueb
CA Forum: Formula
Dear Crystal Report Gurus, I am trying to trucate the leading zeros in a feild that I am pulling from and ODBC table name {Inventory.ItemNumber}. The item number will be similiar to 0000003785768 as an example, and I need it to trancate the leading zeros so the data looks like; 3785768. Is there such a way to this easily? Thanks. Dougatrueb

I am assuming that the itemnumber is a string. If you want it as a string but truncate the leading zeros then do this:
If NumericText({Inventory.ItemNumber}) thentotext(tonumber({Inventory.ItemNumber}),0,'','')else{Inventory.ItemNumber};

Truncating the leading zeros which has both numbers and characters

Hello Everyone,
Can anybody pls help me to truncate the leading zeros in the incoming file structure which has both the numbers and characters.
Thanks,
Chinna

HI,
Write a UDF like this ..
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(args[0].replaceAll("^0*",""));
Also you can use XSLT for this.
Try the XPath function number($string) in your XSLT and see if it does what you want. Since it turns any XPath object into a number, the leading zeros won't appear.
Use it ike this
<xsl:variable name="a">
<xsl:call-template name="removeLeadingZeros">
<xsl:with-param name="phone">
<xsl:value-of select="EVENT/ContactPhone"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template name="removeLeadingZeros">
<xsl:param name="phone"/>
<xsl:message>
<xsl:value-of select="$phone"/>
</xsl:message>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="starts-with($phone,'0')">
<xsl:call-template name="removeLeadingZeros">
<xsl:with-param name="phone">

Truncation of leading zero's for a numeric field

How to truncate leading zeros for numeric key figure field. The field value shows 0.0000000000000000E+00. Why the value shows like this??? Plz explain.

Hi,
I guess the Infoobj is FLOATING POINT. So its displaying that way.

Truncates the leading zeros even though the member is text type

We have members with data type “TEXT” in planning database. When user enters something with leading zero, it saves the same in relational but not showing the same in planning. It truncates the zero even though it is a text member.
Planning version 11.1.2
Example:
Member name : Issue code (TEXT type)
Entered value : 011_Issue (saves the same in relational)
Display value : 11_Issue (Drops the zero)
is there any workaround?
Thanks

I've opened a SR and here is the reply from MOS.
Apply a fix for Bug 12422049 - DATA TYPE TEXT MEMBER DOES NOT DISPLAY VALUE STARTING WITH ZERO CORRECTLY when its available.
The issue has been identified as a code bug and development team will fix it in future releases.

Truncating the leading zero's

Hi experts,
I have an ALV output, in which one of the fields is equipment number (equi-equnr).
There are some leading zero's that I need to truncate from the ALV output.
How can I achieve this? The code is as given below:
fieldcatalog-fieldname   = 'EQUIPMENT_NUMBER'.
fieldcatalog-seltext_m   = 'Equipment Number'.
fieldcatalog-col_pos     = 5.
append fieldcatalog to fieldcatalog.
clear fieldcatalog.
Thanks,
Ajay.

Hello,
Your requirement is that you need to display the equipment number in the ALV without the leading zeroes.
Ypur code is
fieldcatalog-fieldname = 'EQUIPMENT_NUMBER'.
fieldcatalog-seltext_m = 'Equipment Number'.
fieldcatalog-col_pos = 5.
append fieldcatalog to fieldcatalog.
clear fieldcatalog.
Just before append statement add the following
fieldcatalog-no_zero = 'X'.
Now try the same it should solve your problem.
Regards,
Sachin

Need help on avoid truncation of leading zeros while export to Excel

Hi
I am using crystal reports XI version and facing numerical format issue while exporting data from crystal report viewer to excel file, it is removing leading zeros in a alphanumeric field (String field from DB)
Thanks
Nagamani

The only thing that might do this would be to append an apostrophe (') to the beginning of the field. What I would try is:
1. Add a text object to the report where you want this string to appear.
2. Type an apostrophe in the text box.
3. Drag the field into the text box so that it's to the right of the apostrophe.
If you don't want the apostrophe to appear when viewing the report, try this:
1. Right-click on the text box and select "Format Object". Set the font color to be the same as the background color.
2. Double-click in the text box.
3. Select the field, right-click on it and select the "Format..." option. Set the font color to black or whatever other color you're using in your report.

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

Leading zeroes truncated in Write statement

Hi,
I want to maintain leading zeroes into an variable
but the following statement
write (<char_from>) to l_char22. truncates the leading zeroes.
Please let me know if there is any way that I could acheive this.
Best Regards,
Arun

Ex: <ls_guidconv>-partner has a value of '000071'
Consider the following code,
l_char23 = '<ls_guidconv>-partner'.
Assign l_char23 to <l_char24>.
Write (<l_char24>) To l_char25
This will give me a value of 71
If I use move
Move (<l_char24>) To l_char25 >> syntax error
Move <l_char24> To l_char25
I get the result as a string <ls_guidconv>-partner
<ls_guidconv>-partner can have values maximum of length 10
since a variable we use is of 25 chars (l_char25)
if i use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT it does puts
the leading 0's but for the maximum length of 25 instead
of 10.
Thanks for your quick response.
Arun.

Leading zero being truncated on IRECORDSET return data

I am using EP6 SP14. I have a RFC call from the portal to R/3 that brings back a table (availresult). One of the elements in the table is the UPC code. When I run the bapi using SE37 in R/3 the UPC code has a leading zero(s). However, when the iview displays the UPC code the leading zero(s) are truncated. The data is processed as type IRECORDSET. All the other data on the iview is correct just the UPC code is truncating the leading zero(s).
Here's a sampling of my code.
IRecordSet availResult = (IRecordSet)output.get("AVAIL_RESULT");
lvecAvailResColNm.add(1,"EAN_UPC");
int counter = 0;
if(!availResult.isAfterLast()){
availResult.beforeFirst();
while(availResult.next()){
lvedAvailResDataRecord = new Vector();
lvedAvailResDataRecord.add(1,availResult.getString("EAN_UPC"));
lvecAvailResData.add(counter++, lvedAvailResDataRecord);
The availResult.getString("EAN_UPC")); comes back with a UPC code with the leading zeroes truncated.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Angie.

I'm having the exact same problem with UPC codes being returned by an RFC, did you ever find a solution?

XL Reporter - item code starting with leading zeros was truncated

Hi,
Anybody knows how to prevent XL reporter from truncating the leading zero(s) in the item code?
I had done a XL report where one of the field is to retrieve Item Code. In the report generated, the formula was as below:
=ixDimGet("00100068")
However, when MS Excel display it in the spreedsheet, the item code becomes "100068" where the leading zeros was truncated. The correct item code was supposed to be "00100068". I had tried to change the cell format to "text", "number", "general" and etc, but it doesn't work. Any method to correct the item code display in the Excel spreadsheet?
Thanks,
sianghing

Chan,
There is a simple solution for this. Highlight the cell with the Item Code selection in it.
Click the formula builder icon in Excel to open the formula builder
In the bottom box, type TRUE
This tells Excel that you want to display exactly what comes out of the database, without having to predetermine it with a Custom format, etc.
I think that will solve your issue.
Let me know if this needs further explanation.

Truncating Leading Zeroes

Hi,
What is the best method to truncate the leading zeroes of an alphanumeric data item? Is there an expression editor function that could do this?
I have come up with a logic involving 3 - 4 actions that could do this for a specific data item. The problem is I have got about 5 different data items in the same transaction that need leading zeroes truncated. Whats the best thing to do here?
Do I need to build a custom action or expression editor function?
Regards,
V M.

Well, there are equivilants in every database. I think Oracle has something like LTRIM(value, '0')
If your application doesn't use any databases and you are on 12.0 + you could estabish a connection to the neweaver db.
You could also look into and xsl solution using the XSL Transformation action.
I often do this to create/format lists for query filters or similar tasks.
For some background this issue often comes up when pulling data from standard SAP interfaces. In sap Order and Material numbers are typically trimmed automagically by the gui. But when pulling those data elements from sap you get the full monty. This is ok because you often need the full untrimmed value to use with other interfaces, but users still expect the values to be trimmed when displayed. There are a lot of solutions to this issue in regards to the front end (xsl, Javascript, SQL in cases where the data is stored/cached in a local database ) but it would be convienent to have this level of formatting built into the link editor. Maybe even something that accepts a regular expression?

Christian

Procedure truncating leading zeros

Hello,
I'm setting up sequences for my sample database, in my design I have my ID columns in this format Staff: S110001, Parents: P110001 etc.
When I try to implement this in a sequence like:
create sequence Pnt_seq1 start with 0001;
insert into parents
(parent_id, f_name, m_init, l_name, house_n, street, city, postcode)
values
(('P' || to_char(sysdate, 'yy')|| Pnt_seq1.nextval), 'Jim', 'I', 'Brown', 34, 'Barker St', 'Wrexham', 'LL11 8UH');
It trims or truncates the leading zeros giving me P111 instead of P110001. Is there a way around this or am I better off changing my domain definitions/schema to start at P111001 or something?
Thanks a lot
Mike

A sequence is always numeric, so leading zeros have no place
Nothing is trimmed.
If you want leading zeros in the code you posted use
to_char(Pnt_seq1.nextval,'fm0009')
