Padding a julian date with leading zeros ?

Hi,
I have gernerated a julian date, which I am appending to another two digit number to create a five digit serial number.
Is there a simple way to pad the first 99 days with leading zeros ( i.e. 001, 002....025...099) so that I maintain a five digit serial number ?
I am using Get Date In Time/Seconds > Number To Decimal String > Unbundle >Number to Decimal String.
Thank you in advance for any advice,
Alan

Here's the simplest way to do it (with he 2 digit number), I believe:

BPC 7.5 NW: Master Data with leading zeros

In BPC 7.5 NW, is it still an issue to have Master data with leading zeros?
In other words, is it still not advisable to have leading zeros in the Master data.
Let me know your views.
Thanks.

I was also having the same issue almost in the same version.
Other than what you mentioned, the master data was also jumbling up like 0120, 0130, 0145, were set up as 120, 145, 130....
The workaround that we took was to put a leading alphabet, when the data comes into BPC.
Try doing that, it will surely help.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Export to Excel - data with leading zeros

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for running a query then exporting to Excel without dropping leading zeros from the data?
Examples: numeric Item codes with leading zeros, telephone numbers that have been entered with no spaces.

I liked the challenge and therefore.......I got this for you
</Font>
SELECT CHAR(28) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(29) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(30) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
SELECT CHAR(31) + T0.CardCode [BP Code\] FROM [dbo\].[OCRD\] T0
Any of the above 4 should work. T0.CardCode is the database field I tested, you can substitute this with any database field and it should work.

Create Master Data with leading zero

Dear Expert,
Our customer request to create Customer Master/Vendor Master/Material Master with leading zero. For example: they want to create Customer 0234578.
I can do that for material, would you please advise how to do the same for customer/vendor?
Thanks you,

Dear Mr.
Our customer number is in numeric, then this error happen. If customer number constants 1 char, then system will keep zero leading (ex: 012A4) But if customer number constants only numeric, even i type zero, system will remove leading zero.(01234 ==> 1234)
Please help.

Padding a value with leading zeros

Hi
I am trying to create a filename (String) using a sequence int. I need this int to be 6 digits, with leading zeros
i.e. if my seqence number is 23 my filename (String) should be:
FILE000023
Obviously I can do this by creating my own method that iterates through the number, but I was wondering if there was a simple method to change an int to a String and pad it out with leading zeros.
Thanks
Neil.

import java.text.*;
public class DecimalFormatTesting {
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("###.###");

          String integ = format.format( 123 );
          System.out.println("str: " + integ);

Download records to EXCEL file with Leading Zero's for numbers

Hi All,
I am able to download the data to EXCEL file on the presentation server.
There are few fields (Plant,SalesOrder Number ..with Leading Zero's) in the record.
These values are downloaded with out Leading Zero's to excel( EX: 0000004122 as 4122).
Please help me to download the data to EXCEL file with leading zero's.
Thanks and Regards,

HI KC,
then no need to download the zeros,
after uploading, loop at that uploaded internal table and use CONVERSION_EXIT_APLHA_INPUT and pass the vbeln(without zeros) to this FM, it will return the value with added zeros.
hope this solves your query
a small example
Loop at itab into is.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
EXPORTING
INPUT = is-vbeln "( this is without zeros)
IMPORTING
OUTPUT = is-vbeln. "( this is with leading zeros)
modify itab from is.
endloop.

** Please help urgently ** Budget upload field with leading zeros

We need to load a characteristic that has leading zeros. For example 0000350. When saving down to CSV, we lose the leading zeros (0000) so that only 350 is loaded into BW. Saving the codes as 'text' in excel does not seem to help.
We cannot therefore see the name for any of these codes when refreshing the workbook in BW.
Could some please urgently tell us the correct method to save the file for loading into the BW infopackage, with all zeros intact ?
Regards, Frederick

Hi Frederick,
Just some additional thoughts,
assuming field A1 in Ecel contains 350 and you want to create a string with 8 digits, you could use formula '=text(A1;"00000000")' in an empty column and copy it back to column A. Then 00000350 should be provided in A1. This can be saved in a normal .csv file and be opened with a text editor (e.g. notepad) in order to check content.
If you don't want to manipulate Excel data, transformation to a field with leading zeros can be easily be processed with a routine in transfer rules.

Display numbers formatted with leading zeros or spaces.

There are some cases where you might need to display numbers with leading zeros or leading spaces, or trailing zeros. I experimented with several methods and came up with some examples. This is a Console application, but the results can just
as well be output to a listbox in a Windows form.
Sub Main()
Dim snum As String, inum As Integer = 56
snum = inum.ToString()
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " ToString()")
snum = inum.ToString("D4") 'adds leading zeros
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " ToString(""D4"")")
snum = inum.ToString("F4") '4 decimal places with trailing zeros
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " ToString(""F4"")")
Console.WriteLine()
snum = String.Format("{0,4}", inum) 'leading spaces
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " Format{0,4}")
snum = String.Format("{0:D4}", inum) 'leading zeros
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " Format{0:D4}")
snum = String.Format("{0:F4}", inum) '4 decimal places with trailing zeros
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " Format{0:F4}")
Console.WriteLine()
snum = inum.ToString().PadLeft(4, "0"c) 'leading zeros
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " PadLeft(4, ""0""c)")
snum = inum.ToString().PadLeft(4, " "c) 'leading spaces
Console.WriteLine(snum & vbTab & " PadLeft(4, "" ""c)")
Console.ReadLine() Console.Clear()
        For x As Integer = 1 To 20
            snum = x.ToString("D4")
            Console.WriteLine(snum)
        Next x
        Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
Solitaire

I would add that many of these methods also work with numeric types that are not integers.
Note that the "D4" format string doesn't work for non-integral types (such as Double and Decimal), and the "F4" format string doesn't pad with trailing zeros, it rounds to 4 decimal places (which can lose information). PadLeft works with
the entire string, it isn't aware of the decimal point.

Sequence with leading zeros

Hi,
I have a column SRL_NUM with datatype varchar2(4 char).I have 3000 records in this table and want to make SRL_NUM like 0001,0002,0003 etc.It should increment but entire 4 characters should be filled.How do i do this?
Thanks.

IMO it makes more sense to use a native number data type as that is what a sequence generator outputs - and then render that as a text string with leading zero as "+how it looks like+" is a presentation layer issue.
I would not use a numeric sequence generator to generate unique strings as surrogate key values. There are inherent problems with mixing data types like that.

SapScript problem with leading zeros

Hi,

I need to display it with leading zeros. (ex. 0000000000010000000001)
Please help.

&LTAP-NLENR(K)& works fine for me with your requirment.
I have defined a L_VAR like this:
data: L_VAR type LTAP-NLENR.
l_var = '0000000000010000000001'.
In my script I use like this:
P1 &L_VAR(K)&
SO, try to pass that value to some other variable and see what happens.

Mateiral no. with leading zero

Dear Experts,
My case is that I created a material with ext no. assignment e.g. 1234 via BAPI without leading zero. In OMSL, the 2 checkboxes do not check anyaway.
I check it does exist in MARA, MARC and store with leading zero.
But I try to display MM03 for that material and enter 1234, the error says "The material 1234 does not exist or is not activated".
I check that in debugger mode, there is leading zeros added for that material whcih leads to this result.
Do you know how to solve it?
Thanks.

Hi dear,
Note the following
1.Lexicographical Indicator: - The appearance of the material no on the front end is governed by this indicator. This indicator is relevant only for numeric material numbers either internally or externally defined.
2.If the Lexicographical Indicator is not set (indicator is not ticked) incase of external material number assignment, the material numbers are stored with leading zeros. i.e. pure numeric material no 5007453 may look like 0005007453 if the material no length maintained as 10.
3.If the Lexicographical indicator is set (indicator is ticked) incase of the external material number assignment, the material numbers are not stored with leading zeros. i.e. pure numeric material no 5007453 will look like as 5007453.
4.If the Lexicographical indicator is set (indicator is ticked) incase of internal material assignment, the material numbers would be padded with leading zeros
5.This indicator can not be changed once there are numeric materials numbers in the system.
6.Leading zero indicator: - Along with Lexicographical indicator there is leading zero indicator on the same screen. If the indicator is set (ticked) material number is shown with leading zero, but if the Lexicographical indicator is ticked leading zero indicator is ignored by the system.
5007453     Material no length 10    External No range   Indicator Not ticked     Result   0005007453
5007453     Material no length 10    External No range   Indicator Ticked     Result   5007453
5007453     Material no length 10    Internal No range    Ticked Ticked     Result   0005007453

ABAP-based web service returns numeric values with leading zeros

Hi SOA experts,
I have created a web service out of an ABAP function module. Beside other values, this service returns a list of document numbers. All of these numeric values are returned by the web service with leading zeros, but we do want these values w/o leading zeros.
Any ideas how I can tell the web service to not print any leading zeros?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards, Matthias
PS: The according function module does not print any leading zeros for the numeric values

hi,
just a guess: I'd try to use I instead of NUMC for the document numbers.
NUMC is no number but a character string with numeric characters only. only some display routines in SAP know that this string of numerals represents a number and omit leading zeroes.
my 2 cents,
anton

Need formula to take text from one cell, add that to a serial number with leading zeros

I'm trying to create a spreasdheet cell that simplifies creating videotape Numbers from a job name in cell and appends a serial number with leading zeros, and that would survive an export to EXCEL.
The result would look like

B ColumnTape #

ClientName-TapeType-001

I've tried using a custom cell format that had the text in front of the (Integer) drag and drop, with three integers and leading zeros.
That worked, but requires recreating the custom cell format for each client and tape type.
So, I've used the formula =A2& in order to play around with different things, but haven't hit on something that adjusts for increased numbers and retains the leading zeros.
I don't mind doing a starter for the first row and then adding +1 in the formulas for the rows below.
I've done that using the custom cell formats for the first B cell and then using =Bx+1 in the following cells. It works, but I'm hoping to find something simpler or that can be copied and pasted in multiple rows on one paste.
Thanks in advance.
Suggestions much appreciated!
Ted

Ted,
This expression in B will give you the pattern I believe you are looking for:
=A&RIGHT("00"&ROW()-1, 3)
