Packed number conversion

Hi.
Net connector returns the string and when I parse it I end up with packed number format in STRING data type.
Is there some function in connector or external library that simply and quickly transforms BCD string to Decimal and vice versa?
Or any trick to do that. Tried to retype via net connector, but says string cannot be converted to decimal.
Am I only one who needs this functionality. Was digging google half day found nothing.
Thx
Juraj

Hi Gaurav,
I tried a small program and found no problem in moving the data. Just check the length of char field..or try this program
DATA: pack TYPE p DECIMALS 5,
      char(10) TYPE c.
pack = '5.00345'.
MOVE pack TO char.
WRITE char.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    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.

    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.

  • 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 !

  • 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:

    OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(connectionString);
    OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("DEMO.PKG_LOCATION_TYPE.INS", con);

    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

        -  COMMUNICATION RECEIVE
        -  STOP

        Moreover, conversion exits for output conversion

  • ORA-06502: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error

    I met the following error when I ran Donald's PL/SQL function to_number_or_null. Could somebody here help me find the resolution? Thanks!

    Only INVALID_NUMBER exception is handled and also VALUE_ERROR should be handeled. You can resolve it by handling VALUE_ERROR exception or by adding WHEN OTHERS as I did in following example.

  • Floating point Number & Packed Number

    Hai can anyone tell me what is the difference in using floating point & packed Number .
    when it will b used ?

    <b>Packed numbers</b> - type P
    Type P data allows digits after the decimal point. The number of decimal places is generic, and is determined in the program. The value range of type P data depends on its size and the number of digits after the decimal point. The valid size can be any value from 1 to 16 bytes. Two decimal digits are packed into one byte, while the last byte contains one digit and the sign. Up to 14 digits are allowed after the decimal point. The initial value is zero. When working with type P data, it is a good idea to set the program attribute Fixed point arithmetic.Otherwise, type P numbers are treated as integers.
    You can use type P data for such values as distances, weights, amounts of money, and so on.
    <b>Floating point numbers</b> - type F
    The value range of type F numbers is 1x10*-307 to 1x10*308 for positive and negative numbers, including 0 (zero). The accuracy range is approximately 15 decimals, depending on the floating point arithmetic of the hardware platform. Since type F data is internally converted to a binary system, rounding errors can occur. Although the ABAP processor tries to minimize these effects, you should not use type F data if high accuracy is required. Instead, use type P data.
    You use type F fields when you need to cope with very large value ranges and rounding errors are not critical.
    Using I and F fields for calculations is quicker than using P fields. Arithmetic operations using I and F fields are very similar to the actual machine code operations, while P fields require more support from the software. Nevertheless, you have to use type P data to meet accuracy or value range requirements.

  • 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.

    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;

    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.

    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,
