Numc to KF

Guys,
Is there an easy way to convert a NUMC field into key figure field or i will just have to delete and recreate as KF?
Thanks,
RG

hi,
is the char having the data type of NUMC and you need to convert it to KF?
try creating a new KF thats more advisable instead doing change .

I have created an infoobject with data type as NUMC, i used in DSO as a key figure and i have loaded data up to PSA.
Now i want to change the data type of this Info Object from NUMC to CHAR.
Can anyone suggest me the solution for this issue.

Venu Gopal.K

Hi pavan/binu,
I have not loaded data into DSO i just added IO in Key fields and i started editing this IO then im facing error like
1.Master Data Table /BIC/PZCUSTOMER contains data: Characteristic ZCUSTOMER cannot be activated
2.SID Table /BIC/SZCUSTOMER contains data: Characteristic ZCUSTOMER cannot be activated
Im also unable to edit the P & S tables in SE14.
NOTE:I have data only in PSA and when im trying to load data to DSO Im facing these issues.

Convert Char to Numc or Date

I need to knw how to convert a char var to integer or numerical variable. If possible ,dats format.
Reply imm

hi
if you take a numc data type then you can move the char value to the numc stright.
if it is dats u can do a move char_variable to dats_variable.

Transfer a char type varialble value to NUMC type variable

Hi all,
I have a BSEG-PROJK type NUMC(8) variable and one xyz type CHAR(50) variable.
I have to pass value from xyz to BSEG-PROJK
my e.g is that while I am passing
xyz= 'M-000064'
BSEG-PROJK = xyz
then the value of BSEG-PROJK is 00000064 but i need M-000064

Hi,
The value M-000064 is showing in field PROJK of BSEG, due to the conversion routine ABPSP attached in the domain level of this field.
- To check the actual value stored in data base level
- SE16 Give table name=>to see the table contents Press F7=>settings=>user parameters=> uncheck the check box check conversion exit.
- now the value in field PROJK will show in numeric.

Problem with a Dynpro field (type numc)

hi everybody.
I'm developping a ModulPool application in wich i have 2 RadioButtons with 2 textbox fields.
What i pretend to do is, when the user clicks a radiobutton and strikes Intro, enable the corresponding textbox field and disable the other one.
My code runs fine, but i have a little problem. When I loop the screen table, to set the appropiate value to the 'input' property, in this case, when i try to disable it (input = '0'), I get a zero character in that field. This field has NUMC type, i'm sure this is the problem
'cos i've got no problem with the other field (type char). But i can't solve it.
Anybody's got an idea?
Thanks

What you are seeing is the normal behavior of a numeric field represented by the SAPgui. This is how all numeric fields are displayed via SAPgui. If you don't want to see the 0, then you just change the field type to CHAR and handle accordingly.

Map Datasource field NUMC to Cube Key Figure

Hi ,
How do we go about mapping a NUMC field from the datasource to a Key figure(DEC) in an InfoCube?

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for your answer, first i unmapped in transfer rules as per your sugession and executed the infopackage but the data has come when i was unmapped in update rules the data has not come.
My doubt is when i was unmapped in TR even though the data has come, so what is the use of unmapped here.
and how to unmapped char
please clarify my doubt

Problems with fields of type NUMC

Hi,
I have the following problem in SAP XI -> SAP R/3 synchronous scenario via Abap Proxy.
The SAP Proxy returns a BAPIRET2 structure and the field NUMBER of this structure is a NUMC. The field NUMBER is not obligatory and doesnt have any value by default.
The problem occurs when the value of this field NUMBER is 000. In this case no tag for field NUMBER is generated in XML message and in SAP XI I dont see this value.
Can you help me with this issue?
Thanks
Regards
Elsa

Hi Elsa,
create a string field in your interface, regenerate your proxy and fill the new field with value of NUMBER.

Problem with Characteristic of type NUMC

Hi,
I have a characteristic field with data type NUMC and length 6.
When I load data for that field as "1" it gets updated as 10000.
What might be the reason for the same?
How to solve it?

I'm thinking there is a some conversion exit issue.
Try to have the Conversion check box checked in Transfer Rules, if that doesn't work Need to write a trasnfer routine in which you need to exclude the leading/trading zeros.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

Numc characteristic values are not saving in AUSP

Hi All,
I am unable to save numc/Date type characteristic values in AUSP table using CL20N tcode. i am able to retrive CHAR values from AUSP table but NUMC / DATE values are not saving in this table.
Regards,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
If you are fetching ATINN from AUSP table, then you need to use conversion routine..
Call the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ATINN_* & you will get the converted value.

Data Type NUMC from R3 to BW

Hi Expertts,
The datatype NUMC holding a value 00000 in R3 becomes
SPACE or NULL by the time it reaches to PSA. Is there
a way to prevent this from happening. I want the value
intact when and the same when it reaches the PSA up to
the cube.
Thanks for your reply.
Best regards,
Rose

hi Rose,
try to use 'domain' in r/3 without 'convers. routine' = ALHPA if it's your customized extraction.
you can double click the field used in r/3 and then double click 'domain'.
or check if remove ALPHA from conversion routine in bw infoobject used to map to that field.
hope this helps.

Explain about Data Types INT1, INT2, INT3, INT4 & NUMC

could anyone explain about the data types and give examples.

INT1: 1-byte integer between 0 and 255. The length is set to 3 places for this data type.
INT2: 2-byte integer between -32767 and 32767. Fields of this type should only be used for length fields. These long fields are positioned immediately in front of a long field (type LCHR, LRAW). With INSERT or UPDATE on the long field, the database interface enters the length which was actually used in the length field. The length is set to 5 places for this data type.
INT4: 4-byte integer between -2147483647 bis 2147483647. The length is set to 10 places for this data type.
NUMC: Long character field in which only numbers can be entered. The length of this field is limited to a maximum of 255 places.
Check this:

Why is there a data type NUMC?

Hi ABAP masters,
working in database support for several years I've very often seen the problems that arise from the awkward data type NUMC.
A numeric type stored as characters.
What I always wondered is: what is this data type really good for?
The leading zero output display alone is hardly a valid reason to waste storage and complicate the usage of the data of that type.
I cannot imagine any use for this data type that wouldn't be better done by using integer types.
So, if you know what the reasoning behind this data type is, please let me know.
thanks and best regards,
Lars

NUMC data type can be used to maintain positive numbers with leading Zeros
Most of SAP's important numbers like Sales Order numbers, Customer numbers, Delivery documents,
Material numbers, Sales Org, Division, Company Codes, Distribution Channel are CHARs only
But if their Data is containing only digits, SAP Transactions will automatically add Leading zeros for them and store in the database as Raw data.
If those SAP numbers contains at least one non-digit character, then leading zeros will not be added.
Example: if 54 is assigned to BUKRS it will be stored in DB as 0054
               if 5A is assigned to BUKRS it will be stored in DB as 5A only
Leading zero concept is very useful for Date and Time calculations.
Month, Day, hours etc., must be declared as NUMC for better calculations
Example:
    PARAMETERS p_year TYPE I.          "instead of Integer we can use type N LENGTH 4 also here
    DATA v_month TYPE N LENGTH 2.
    DATA v_day     TYPE N LENGTH 2.
    DATA v_year    TYPE N LENGTH 4.       then calculations will be easy
    DATA FDATE   TYPE D.
    v_year = p_year.
    v_day = 1.              "1st day of Month
    DO 12 TIMES.
        v_month = sy-index.           "Leading zero will be added automatically
        CONCATENATE v_year v_month v_day INTO FDATE.
        WRITE / FDATE.                "Every month 1st day of selected year
    ENDDO.
Example: Customer number contains uneven digits. It should be converted to a 10 digit number
                 with "C" as 1st Character. Logic will be
                 PARAMETERS custno TYPE I.
                 DATA v1                     TYPE N LENGTH 10.
                 DATA str_custno         TYPE C LENGTH 11.
                 v1 = custno.       "customer number will be converted to 10 digit number
                 CONCATENATE 'C' V1   INTO str_custno.
please correct me, if I am wrong
Thanks and Regards

How to enhance an Input NUMC field to a QUAN field in web UI ?

Hi All ,
    I am facinga a particular problem in the web UI .
    I have a component in that I have a field which is a NUMC 'Input' field .
    My requirement is to convert this field to a QUAN type field .
    Hence I have created another field in the enhancement for the same purpose . But while saving and generating, its not allowing me to generate .. the reason is I have not provided a reference UNIT type field. And as I am less experienced with CRM UI I am not sure How do I create a reference UNIT type field . Can anyone please help me with resolving this issues .
Thanks,
Ranjita
Edited by: Ranjita Kar on Apr 7, 2011 10:32 PM

Hi Both ,
    My requirement is , in one of the standard views have an Input field of type NUMC . And I want to enhance this field to QUAN type field . I did the configuration level changes to change the type of this field from NUMC to QUAN , but I am facing a problem while generating this field . the reason is, a I am using the QUAN data type , the system is asking for a reference UNIT type field which is not present.And I dont know how do I create this unit type field as a reference to this QUAN field . This UNIT type field is not required to be shown in the UI .
Can any one of you give me the steps so that I can do some experiments .

How to compare char and numc in select query

Hi Experts,
I am using For all entries to combine two tables.
I want to fetch the data from these tables.
The field in one table char, and in another the field is numc.
1st Query from table BDCP2 and get the tabkey value is like (2000000000000000000086200000000000000000000)
2nd query     For all entries found,
query table ESTMJ with the following parameter.
     ESTMJ-RECN = BDCP2-TABKEY+3(20)
1.TABKEY         CHAR     254
2.RECN         NUMC     20
How to compare these two ?
Regards,
Bindhu Priya.

for two fields numc & char , please check out their Conversion routine in their respective Database table.
1st in SE11-> enter table names in different sessions. and check out the data domain used by this fields
In their respective domains of fields, click on tab 'DEFINITIONS', then check out the conversion routines in Output Characteristics of the Data Domain of field
From my point of view, both the Conversion routines should be the same.
If Conversion Routines are not there, then insert suitable Conversion routine for both the fields domain
For help for for conversion routines:

Strange NUMC, Can anyone please Define NUMC.

Hi Experts,
I have experienced a Strange things with NUMC.
How ever you define your Numc (straight or dictionary ref like "DATA: value1 TYPE pa0000-pernr) or what ever.
I have seen different results different scenarios as shown in below example.
REPORT znumc_test.
DATA : value1 TYPE n LENGTH 6.
DATA : value2(15) TYPE n.
DATA : value3 TYPE numc10.
DATA : ltext(40) TYPE c VALUE '0##010,SHOCKING-RIGHT,02 000'.
WRITE:/ 'Test1'.
WRITE:/ value1, value2, value3.
SPLIT ltext AT ',' INTO value1 value2 value3.
WRITE:/ value1, value2, value3.
CLEAR : value1, value2, value3.
WRITE:/ value1, value2, value3.
MOVE 'Can it be done?' TO value2.
WRITE:/ value2.
CONCATENATE 'It' 'Can' 'be' 'done.' INTO value2 SEPARATED BY space.
WRITE:/ value2.
value1 = value3 = value2.
WRITE:/ value1, value2, value3.
SPLIT 'Is This Possible?' at space INTO value1 value2 value3.
WRITE:/ value1, value2, value3.
I encounter this behavior when I was uploading my CSV file using split.
Can anyone please Define NUMC exactly for me.
Output of above in my system is show below
Test1
000000 000000000000000 0000000000
0##010 SHOCKING-RIGHT 02 000
000000 000000000000000 0000000000
000000000000000
It Can be done.
done. It Can be done. n be done.
Is This Possible?
Thanks & Regards,
Dileep .C

Hi Suhas,
Thanks for your information. I did went to through F1 before posting here. But I am not impressed with explanation.
I think I might missing something, Thats why I was looking for some valuable answers from experts here.
Properties
Type = n
Length = 1 to 262,143 characters
Standard Length = 1 characters
Name = Numeric text field
Numeric text
Character string consisting only of the digits 0 through 9. Valid content of a numeric text field.
Value Ranges and Initial Values
Type = n
Value Range = Any alphanumeric characters; only valid values are the digits 0 to 9, however
Initial Value = "0" for every position
Can you explain difference in below,
DATA : value(20) TYPE n.
MOVE 'Can it be moved?' TO value. "its not working or cant be moved
WRITE:/ value.
CONCATENATE 'It' 'Can' 'be' 'moved.' INTO value SEPARATED BY space. "its working perfect
WRITE:/ value.
My Point is pretty simple, Does NUMC allows characters in it. If yes, what are the scenario's.
Please shed some light on me.
Thanks & Regards

Abend on CHAR assigned to NUMC to Query

Hi all,
An existing pgm is in such a way that CHAR type variable (data element) retrieved from a table is assigned to another variable type NUMC (in a transparent table).
This NUMC variable is used for a join in another query with a table of same field but type CHAR.
Eg :
x1(char) = x2 (NUMC)
Door no. is CHAR in table , NUMC in transparent table in a query join.
This causes dump.
probably error in assignment statement itself or when query is executed..
there's a space( or dot - not sure) in x1 which is not accepted by x2.
Any help on this?
Thanks.

hi ,
there is one thing to remember when we filling the value with a number it will take like this. .. 24 as 24 only but when it is numeric it is like 0024 like ...so when on the assignment there may be some proble...or if u pass the same no of zeros to the character it will work i think..
regards,
venkat.
