Number Conversion:Urgent

Hi everyone,
We have a scenario where we are getting an input from a file for date and number.
these formats are given in the selection screen to make it easier for the user.
for eg: date formats are given are dd/mm/yyyy so on whatever formats are available through datfm field in usr01 table.
We need to change the format of the date and the format of the number according to the user settings .fields datfm and fields dcpfm(eg. 1,23,600.00,1 23 600.00,1.23.600,00) in usr01 first and then map it to the sap fields.so we have to change this format to sap format.
can anyone please help me on this.
to change the date format as well as number format.
the number format is on more priority then date format.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
ahmed

Hi Ahmed,
well, for amounts you could use:
select single * from usr01 where bname = sy-uname.
case usr01-dcpfm.
when space.
    translate input_string using '. ,.'.
when 'X'.
    translate input_string using ', '.
when 'Y'.
    translate input_string using ',.'.
when others.
endcase.
condense input_string no-gaps.
...and for dates:
CALL FUNCTION 'KCD_EXCEL_DATE_CONVERT'
       EXPORTING
            excel_date = string
            date_format = 'TMJ'
       IMPORTING
            sap_date    = date.
I hope it helps. Best regards,
Alvaro

FM for Material number conversion from R/3 to APO in R/3

Hi,
   Can anybody tell me conversion exit (function module) for Material number conversion from R/3 to APO in R/3 system. I mean i have 18 digit R/3 material number which i have to convert to 40 digit APO material number in R/3 system.
Please suggest to win full points.
Thaniks in Advance,
Chandan Dubey

Dear Chandan,
Conversion Exits:
CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT ....... If you are storing Material With Zeros
Then concatenate it with 22 zeros. i.e. '0000000000000000000000000000'.
For example:
data : v_matnr type matnr,            "R/3 Material
       v_apo_matnr(40) type c,        "APO Material with 40 length
       v_zeros(22) type c. value '0000000000000000000000000000'.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT'
       EXPORTING INPUT          = v_matnr
       IMPORTING OUTPUT         = v_matnr.
concatenate e_mantr v_zeros into
            v_apo_matnr.

Naveen.

Error ORA-06502, numeric or value error character to number conversion

I have been trying to create an email including data from a table as part of the body. Whenever I try to send it, I get an error ORA-06502, numeric or value error, character to number conversion. If I take out the part referencing the table, the email will go without error, but if I put it back in I get the error.
There is the code:
DECLARE

v_id NUMBER;

This is important to my company to be able to put this data into an email. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Lets isolate the erroring line by running the code in debug mode and adding some debug lines at various stages in the code
Apex has a builtin function named wwv_flow.debug which can print messages to the debug stack and would be visible when the page is run in debug mode.
DECLARE
v_email_body CLOB;
v_from_email_address VARCHAR2(100) := v('APP_USER');

Numeric or value error: character to number conversion error

I'm having problems inserting a value from a date picker field (DD-MON-YYYY HH MI )
i'm submitting this value to a packaged procedure that accepts this field as VARCHAR2 .
on the insert, i do a to_date( P_DATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI PM' )
and i get the numeric conversion error.
If I change the to_date on the procedure side, I get the :could not read the end of the format mask - which I've found threads about on this site.
I've tried using HH24 and different formats, but I get one of the two above errors on the insert.
If I don't fill in the datepicker field at all, it works fine.
help is appreciated !
Bill

Re: Error, numeric or value error: character to number conversion error

Can someone please please tell me why I'm getting this error and what I'm doing wrong? It looks like a simple error, "numeric or value error: character to number conversion error".
My code is as follows:
string connectionString = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DEMO_TEST"].ConnectionString;
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(connectionString);
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("DEMO.PKG_LOCATION_TYPE.INS", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("@P_DESCRIPTION", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 60));
cmd.Parameters["@P_DESCRIPTION"].Value = "Test_Description";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("@P_NAME", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 6));
cmd.Parameters["@P_NAME"].Value = "Test_Name";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("@P_LOCATION_TYPE_CD", OracleDbType.Decimal, 4));
cmd.Parameters["@P_LOCATION_TYPE_CD"].Direction = ParameterDirection.InputOutput;
con.Open();
try
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
catch
//In case of an error
finally
con.Close();
con.Dispose();

Are the parameters in your procedure in the same order as they are created in this code? Oracle command works by position unless you change it to be BindByName.
Failing that you seem to have defined a parameter (P_NAME) to have a length of 6, and are then setting it's value to a string with a length of 9.
Also the in/output parameter is defined as type decimal. Is this correct? It is defined as InputOutput but you don't assign it any value.
If these suggestions don't help then perhaps if you post the stored procedure you might get some more ideas.

PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error in TRG

Hi,
I've got strange issue with one trigger which during update of table reports (DB is 9.2.0.8):
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at "UDR_LOG", line 345
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'UDR_LOG'but line 345 is:
END IF;
so its kind of strange
the code looks like
343 IF nvl(to_char(:old.PKD_ID),'''') <> nvl(to_char(:new.PKD_ID),'''') THEN
344 v_zmn := v_zmn || 'PKD_ID''' || to_char(:old.PKD_ID) || '''' || to_char(:new.PKD_ID) || '''';
345 END IF;
so its concatenation not to_number usage .error is triggered by update statement on any column .
I'm sorry I cant provide You with whole trigger code .
So if You could only recommend any investigation method that would be great .
Regards
Greg

Hi, Greg,
When there's an error in a trigger, the line numbers in the error messages are relative to the first DECLARE or BEGIN statement; often, that's a few lines after CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER. Post a few lines after what you already posted.
If you can't find the error, then create another table for testing this, and create a smaller trigger on that table, which does only enough to cause the error. Then you'll be able to post the complete trigger, and the code needed to re-create the problem.

 Statement "CALL SCREEN" is not allowed in this form.
What happened?
 Error in ABAP application program.
 The current ABAP program "SAPLSHL2" had to be terminated because on

 This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
Error analysis
 There is probably an error in the program
 "SAPLSHL2".
 The program was probably called in a conversion exit
 or in a field exit. These are implemented by
 function modules called CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT/OUTPUT or
 USER_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT.
 Conversion exits are triggered during screen field transports or
 WRITE statements, field exits during field transports from the
 screen to the ABAP/4 program.
 In this connection, the following ABAP/4 statements are not allowed:
 - CALL SCREEN
 - CALL DIALOG
 - CALL TRANSACTION
 - SUBMIT
 - MESSAGE W... and MESSAGE I...
 - COMMIT WORK, ROLLBACK WORK
 - COMMUNICATION RECEIVE
 - STOP
 - REJECT
 - EXIT FROM STEP-LOOP
 Moreover, conversion exits for output conversion
 (implemented by function modules called
 CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT) do not allow

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion

Hello,
I am new to Oracle Apex so I decided to read and do the tutorials that are on the apex.oracle.com site.
Now I am at the tutorial 6: How to Work with Check Boxes of the Advanced Tutorials.
At a certain point you have to add a new radio button.
At the Item Source Value you have to add SELECT 'Y' FROM DUAL WHERE :P2_LIST_PRICE*0.75=:P2_MIN_PRICE.
But when I try to create the item, I keep getting the following error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
Error creating item.
Does anybody know what could be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Here I m passing a string variable to pass the select statement for the ref cursor.
There seems some problem in the substr conversion in the statement.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
But when i run as a independent staement passing real values in the place of placeholders
i get the result right.
The *:PERIOD_NAME* format is *'Jan-2009-10'* .
And I need to pass the *:PERIOD_NAME* to the query as *'Jan-09-10'*
Pls suggest.

Need help in date to number conversion

Hi,
I have a doubt in a date conversion, please help me.
I executed the below query, its throwing "invalid number" error.
select * from test
where date_sid between to_number(to_char('01-05-2009','dd-mm-yyyy'),'yyyymmdd') and to_number(to_char('02-05-2009','dd-mm-yyyy'),'yyyymmdd')
date_sid column is number datatype.
In my above query i want to pass the date value like '12-05-2009'. If i check my table date_sid looks like yyyymmdd. So how to convert '12-05-2009' to 20090512 in my above query. Please help me.
Thanks.

Use to_date instead of your to_char, and to_char instead of your to_number.
That said, that's very very sad to work on date as number format.

Date to number conversion?

I want to select a number of rows created within last week.
To do it I use a select statement with:
WHERE sysdate-o.created_on <= days;
(days is a number, created_on is a date)
Everything works fine, but I get warnings like this one:
PLW-07204: conversion away from column type may result in sub-optimal query plan
I suppose I should convert date to number to get rid of them. How can I do it isnide a SELECT query?

While the comments regarding re-writting the query to allow the possibility of index usage are valid, the warning will still appear even with the re-written query. I am sure that this query would use an index on dt1 if one was available.
SQL>CREATE TABLE t (id number, dt1 date, dt2 date);
Table created.
SQL> CREATE PROCEDURE p1 AS
2 BEGIN
3 FOR r IN (SELECT * FROM t
4 WHERE dt1 = sysdate - 7) LOOP
5 NULL;
6 END LOOP;
7 END;
8 /
SQL>/
SP2-0804: Procedure created with compilation warnings
SQL>show error
Errors for PROCEDURE P1:
LINE/COL ERROR
3/13 PLW-07204: conversion away from column type may result in
 sub-optimal query planThe warning in this case is clearly spurious, and the reason is, at the level the compiler is looking, they are different data types. dt1 was inserted as sysdate a few minutes before I did the dunp below.
SQL> SELECT DUMP(dt1) tab_date, DUMP(dt1 - 3) calc_date,
2 DUMP(sysdate) sys_date
3 FROM t;
TAB_DATE CALC_DATE SYS_DATE
Typ=12 Len=7: 120,107,2,27,10,45,42 Typ=13 Len=8: 7,215,2,24,9,44,41,0 Typ=13 Len=8: 7,215,2,27,9,49,13,0A date field in a table is a type 12 while sysdate, and any date that has is a result of a calculation is a type 13. Clearly a "different" datatype.
Practically speaking, in the SQL engine, the type 13 date would be cast to a type 12 date and used in an index probe, but the compiler is likely doing something similar to the DUMP conparision.
I believe that the type 13 dates are a representation of the C time_t struct that Oracle's kernel would likely use internally.

Last field not shown in MONI if its empty during content conversion-urgent

Hi All,
 I have my input structure like
 <RECORDSET>
 <EMPLOYEE>
 <FIRSTNAME>
 <LASTNAME>
 <PHONENUMBER>
 </EMPLOYEE>
 </RECORDSET>
 I have given my sender Conversion parameters like
 Employee.fieldSeparator=*
 Employee.endSeparator='nl'
 Employee.fieldNames=FIRSTNAME,LASTNAME,PHONENUMBER
It is working fine.But if the value is empty for any of the field it is showing up with empty tag in MONI but for the Last field i.e.,PHONENUMBER if the value is empty the tag is not being shown in MONI. Please help me in this issue.It is very urgent.

Hi Dinakar,
I haven't tried but u can check these parameters and give it a try
NameA.missingLastfields
If the inbound structure has less fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure is created as follows:
○ ignore
Outbound structure only contains the fields in the inbound structure
○ add
Outbound structure contains all fields from the configuration; the fields missing in the inbound structure are empty.
○ error
Conversion is terminated due to the incomplete inbound structure. An error message is displayed.
● NameA.additionalLastFields
If the inbound structure has more fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure is created as follows:
○ ignore
Outbound structure only contains the fields in the inbound structure
○ error
Conversion is terminated due to the incomplete inbound structure. An error message is displayed.
The default value is ignore. If you have defined the NameA.fieldFixedLengths parameter, the default value is error.
NameA.lastFieldsOptional (obsolete)
You use this parameter to specify whether the last fields can be omitted (YES) or not (NO) in a comma-separated structure.
If you do not make an entry, the default value is NO.

Time stamp to number conversion

Hi All,
I notice in Labview 7.0 the 'Get Date/Time to Seconds' and 'Seconds to Date/Time' now output a Time Stamp rather than actual seconds.
There is a 'To Time Stamp" standard vi in the conversion pallet that converts a number (seconds) to a time stamp but I really need to convert from a Time Stamp to real seconds.
Does anyone have a vi that might do this or is there something already in LabVIEW 7.0 I have overlooked?
Many Thanks in Advance for your help.
Sammy Mason

You are going to have to post an example where the conversion does not work.
