Number conversion

hi,
1.I have a doubt.if i do arithmetic operation on two floating point numbers(data type F) and assign it to a packed number(P) how will it affect the final result.
2.Another question how can i convert a negative packed number into positive packed number.
Please answer.
thanks and regards,
Mahesh

hi
good

Data Type Code Length Description
b 1 1-byte integer
C 1 - ? Character string
D 8 Date (yyyymmdd)
F 8 Floating point number
I 4 4-byte integer
N 1 - ? Digits-only character string
P Binary Coded Decimal (packed) number
s 2 2-byte integer
T 6 Time (hhmmss)
X 1 - ? Raw data
INTLEN tells us the number of bytes used by this field; DECIMALS the number of decimals for packed and floating point numbers.

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:

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

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();
And I recieve the following error block:

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
    statements could not be executed.
    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
    - MESSAGE E...
    to be used.

Set the length of 0MATERIAL and change conversion to alpha:

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.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE xxbb_query (
p_branch_code XXBOB_HRMS_APPRAISALS_DATA.Branch_code%TYPE,
p_PERIOD_NAME XXBOB_HRMS_APPRAISALS_DATA.PERIOD_NAME%TYPE
IS
emp_refcur SYS_REFCURSOR;
v_deposits XXBOB_HRMS_APPRAISALS_DATA.deposits%TYPE :=0;
v_branch_code XXBOB_HRMS_APPRAISALS_DATA.branch_code%TYPE:=0;
p_query_string VARCHAR2(500);
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Hello' || ' ' || '...');
p_query_string := 'SELECT Avg(deposits) Dep,branch_code FROM XXBOB_HRMS_APPRAISALS_DATA WHERE ' ||
*' Branch_code = :branch_code '||*
*' AND PERIOD_NAME = SubStr( :PERIOD_NAME ,1,4))||(SubStr( :PERIOD_NAME ,InStr( :PERIOD_NAME ,'-',1,1)+3,5)) ' ||*
*' group BY SubStr(PERIOD_NAME,5),BRANCH_CODE ';*
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Hi' || ' ' || '...');
OPEN emp_refcur
FOR p_query_string USING p_branch_code,v_p_PERIOD_NAME,v_p_PERIOD_NAME,v_p_PERIOD_NAME;
-- DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('----- -------');
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;

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.

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.

Asset Sub Number Conversion

Hi Expert,
I have a question here and hope experts can give some Light.
We have asset main number with asset number sub number in the legacy system. When we migrate to SAP, I'll also need to create the Asset Main Number (AS91) and following with Asset Sub Number for it (AS94).
The problem is, how could I actually link the asset sub number with the relevant main number for data conversion as the main asset must always be created first before I can load asset sub-number.
What is the best approach to use?
Please help. Thanks.

Hello Louis Yale
You first create the main Asset number with T-code AS91
Once that is done you then create Asset sub number with reference to main Asset number . T-code AS94.
When you start creating Asset sub number on the main screen you will need to input main asset number and company code. This links your asset sub number to main asset number.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Sanjeev

Regional settings impact JavaScript Number conversion to String in applet

Environment:
XP, IE6 and IE7, JDK 1.6.0_13,1.6.0_10,1.6.0_7, Apache
Hi,
We recently converted our application from the MS JVM to Sun JVM 1.6 and have since had numerous problems with a user's regional setting impacting the application's behaviour.
The application is using an applet, passing JavaScript Number values to an Applet where the input argument in the Java function is declared as a String.
We have users with various regional settings, most don't impact the application, but we have found problems when the regional settings are set to "French (France)" or "German (Germany)".
With "French (France)" JavaScript Number values >=10000000 get truncated to a Java String value of just the first character.e.g. 10000000 is converted to "1", 200000000 is converted to "2".
With "German (Germany)" a trailing "0" is added to the converted String, and for values >=10000000 we get the String value with an additional 6 "0"s and then 2 additional "0"s as the input Number value is increments by each power of 10.
A simple example follows.
Any help understanding why this is happening and any coding solution would be appreciated.
The default number format for the various regional settings seems to be impacting the implicit conversion to String in LiveConnect.
We can re-code to convert the Number value to a String in the JavaScript before calling the applet, but this involves significant re-coding of the application.
We also have a workaround to verify that navigator.userLanguage returns one of the list of supported languages and exit the application if the language is unsupported.
Thanks
Rob

document.write("<BR>copy/paste the above 2 lines of code, adding an additional '1'<BR>");
</script>
</body>
</html>

I have found a workaround by setting the locale in the applet to a locale that does perform implicit Number to String conversion correctly.
e.g.
public void init() {
try {
Locale.setDefault(Locale.US);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Failed to set Locale, Caught Exception: " + e.getMessage());
and adding this line to the java.policy to prevent "access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission user.language write)" errors.
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.language", "read, write";
