Thanks

String newString = " ";
newString = newString.concat(oldString);to be brief use:oldString = "192102";

String Manipulation with blank space at the end

Hi All,
DATA: str1(999),
       a(10),
       b(10).
DATA: len TYPE i.
a = 'Welcome'.
b = 'To all'.
CONCATENATE a b INTO str1 RESPECTING BLANKS.
len = STRLEN( str1 ).
WRITE: len.
result : 16.
If I declared str1 as string result is 20. Because in above case empty space is truncated at last .
So any otherway to getting result 20 with out declaring str1 as string.

Hi vinoth ,
To get spaces at last ,
data : str1 type char10 ,
         len type i .
str1 = 'the ' .                  " space given by pressing space bar button
len = STRLEN( str1 ).     " in len we get it as 3 , coz 'the ' is 3 only .
str1 = 'the ' .                 " space given by pressing ALT 2 5 5
len = STRLEN( str1 ).   " in len we get it as 4 , coz 'the ' is 3 and 1 space is given by pressing ALT 255 .
This works,
Hope it might be helpfull,

Problems in Handling String Variables with Pro*C

I have a Pro*C program that select one record from a table. Although I don't have any NULL values in this record, I got the following error:
ORA-01405: fetched column value is NULL.
This problem only accurs when I try to retrieve[b] characters. Everything works fine when I handle numbers.
I also tried to use indicators with the output value from the query. Another error was returned:
ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error.
I am not sure wheather the problem is from my program or some configuration of the environment or the client.
The database (Oracle 9i) is in a remote machine, and I am using Oracle Client (9i) in my machine running Tru64 OS.
The code that I am using is as follows:
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
int db_classId;
char db_neId[101];
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL SELECT class_id, ne_id INTO :db_classId, :db_neId
FROM NE_ROUTE WHERE ne_id like 'BA%';
Can anyone help on this issue? Is it something to do with NLS_LANG parameter?
I just want to note down that all queries work fine with SQL Plus

Hi,
I used different select statements as you suggested, but I still get the same error. I also changed the statement to make sure it doesn't return a NULL value.
I tried the following cases
1. EXEC SQL SELECT 'name' INTO :db_neId FROM DUAL;
and I get >> ORA-01405: fetched column value is NULL.
2. EXEC SQL SELECT NVL('name','name2') INTO :db_neId FROM DUAL;
and I get >> ORA-01405: fetched column value is NULL.
3. EXEC SQL SELECT 'name' INTO :db_neId :ind_ne FROM DUAL;
and I get >> ORA-03106: fatal two-task communication protocol error.
I haven't try to change the precompiler options yet. The program is very simple as I only use to test the connection with the database. I am just trying to retieve any character from the database.
Any suggestions?

Setting VarChar Variable with String Parameter in Crystal Report Add Command

Setting a VarChar Variable with a String Parameter in a Crystal Report 2008 SP6.3 Add Command is causing an error with a SQL State of 42000. The Error Code depends on which value I select for the parameter. I created the @DateOpt string parameter in the Modify Command window, not in the report. If I comment out line 14 of the SQL the error does not occur.
I have attached the SQL Code and screen shots of the errors. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Since your parameter is of type STRING, you need to enclose references to it within the Command inside single quotes.
For example, instead of
SET @BeginDate ={?BeginDate}
use
SET @BeginDate ='{?BeginDate}'

Problem with String variable

I am new to Java Programming.
I have a line of code that works and does what is supposed to.
faceData.getProfile("Lisa").removeFriend("Curtis");
If I assign the strings to variables such as-
String name = "Lisa";
String fName = "Curtis";
and then plug those into the same line of code, it does not work
faceData.getProfile(name).removeFriend(fName);
What could be causing the problem?
I even added some lines to print out what is stored in the variables to verify that they are what they should be, but for some reason the variables do not work while putting the strings in quotes does. Any ideas?

I guarantee that something about your assertions are incorrect. Those variables are either not equal to the values you claim, or something else is going on. But it's not a problem with string variables versus string constants.
Edit: My best guess in lack of a real example from you, is that the strings in question have non-printable characters in them, such as trailing spaces or line feeds.

Pad a string with zeros ?

Hello ABAP Experts,
How to pad a string with zeros.. is there a direct method i can use.
eg:
string length is 8
string is custnumb
value is 588
but i would like to see 00000588
please suggest.

You can simply move it to a TYPE n field also.
data: n(8) type n.
data: custnumb(8) type c value '588'.
n = custnumb.
custnumb = n.

Comma problem with global string variable

Hi,
I'm fiighting with comma problem for global string variable. I've on page string for example "7nndqrr52vzyb,0" and by dynamic column link I'm assigning this string to global variable. Then I'm trying to display value of that global variable on another page but I see only string till comma, nothings more. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong because when I'm trying to assign that value normally by computation process as a constant value is fine and see on another page correct string. I'll be really glad for help.
Thanks
Cheers,
Mariusz

When it tries to display the string, it sees the comma and wants to believe the string is terminated. You could escape the , in the string or replace it with a different character..

Good practice to initalize all instance variables with type String to emptr

Is it a good practice to initalize all instance variables with
type String to emptry string?
#1 approach:
public class A
{ private String name = "";
private String address ="";
//etc...
rather than
#2 approach:
public class A
{ private String name;
private String address;
//etc...
When I read Java books, the examples don't usually do #1 approach.
The problem is if we don't initialize to empty string, when we call
the getter method of that instance variable, it will return null.
Please advise. Thanks!!

Please advise. Thanks!!It depends on your coding style. If you can avoid lots of checks for null Strings in the rest of the code then why not initialize to "".
You have the same situation when a method returns an array. If you under circumstances return a null array reference then you have to always check for this special case, but if you return a zero length array instead you have no special case. All loops will just run 0 iterations and everything will work fine.
So in general I guess the return of zero objects instead of null references really boils down to whether it simplicates the rest of your code by removing lots of extra checks for the special null case. This usage is especially favourable in the zero length array case. See Effective Java by Bloch, item 27.

Change Variable Type P to STRING but with thousand separators

Dear all,
I am no specialist (in abap/bsp).
I have a variable 'number' type p decimals 0.
I need that 'number' converted to a string but with the thousand separators.
Is there a function available?
Is is possible to give this function the desired character as a thousand separator?
E.g.
Character '.' for German Number Format
Character ',' for US Number Format.
Thank you in advance for help.

Hi Philipp,
I have written a report for you.
Just copy & paste the below code in your report.
Try changing the num variable in the report and see the result.

 de_str TYPE string,
 en_str TYPE string.
DATA: temp_str TYPE string,
 str_len TYPE i,
 count TYPE i,
 index TYPE i,
 sub_str TYPE string,
 sub_str_len TYPE string.
num = 1234567890.
temp_str = num.
str_len = STRLEN( temp_str ).
str_len = str_len - 1.
IF str_len >= 3.
count = str_len DIV 3.
index = 0.
DO count TIMES.
 sub_str_len = ( count ) * 3.
 count = count - 1.
 index = str_len - sub_str_len.
 IF index < 3.
 sub_str_len = index.
 index = 0.
 ELSE.
 sub_str_len = 3.
 index = index - sub_str_len.
 ENDIF.
 IF index NE 0 OR sub_str_len NE 0.
 sub_str = temp_str+index(sub_str_len).
 CONCATENATE de_str sub_str '.' INTO de_str.
 CONCATENATE en_str sub_str ',' INTO en_str.
 ENDIF.
ENDDO.
index = str_len - 3.
sub_str = temp_str+index(3).
CONCATENATE de_str sub_str ',' '000' INTO de_str.
CONCATENATE en_str sub_str '.' '000' INTO en_str.
ELSE.
sub_str = temp_str+0(str_len).
CONCATENATE de_str sub_str ',' '000' INTO de_str.
CONCATENATE en_str sub_str '.' '000' INTO en_str.
ENDIF.
WRITE: temp_str,

Problem with a String[] variable

Hi
I'm reading values from a table and I need to store them in a String[] variable.
This example shows I would do it without accesing to the database: String[] data = new String[] {"a","b","c"};
Now, I want to do the same thing but reading it from a database table. I do know how to read each value from the table, the problem is that I'm not sure on how to concatenate the values in the string[].
Thank you all in advance =)

Pass Input Parameter With Blank To SSIS Get Strange Result

Hi! I stuck for a while when executing SSIS from stored procedure with input parameter. My input value is not consistent with output one. If I pass value with blank , SSIS seems gets second part. For example , if I pass "CALL FROM SP", SSIS get
"FROM" only.
I use Execute SQL Task to store input parameter. Here is the SSIS snapshot.
And here is the sp snippet
DECLARE @Path VARCHAR(200),
@Cmd VARCHAR(4000),
@ReturnCode INT,
@QUERY_STRING VARCHAR(70),
@BATCH_NO VARCHAR(14)
SELECT @Path = 'xxxxxx'
SELECT @QUERY_STRING = 'CALL FROM SP'
--BatchNo = YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
SELECT @BATCH_NO = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),GETDATE(),112) + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),GETDATE(),108),':','')
SELECT @Cmd = 'DTexec /FILE "' + @Path + 'Package1.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT 1 /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW ' + '/Decrypt ALCM '
+ ' /SET \Package.Variables[User::BATCH_NO].Properties[Value];' + @BATCH_NO
+ ' /SET \Package.Variables[User::QUERY_STRING].Properties[Value];' + @QUERY_STRING
My test are
input parameter
write to TESTTB correctly ?
any error?
execute SSIS in design mode
CALL FROM SSIS
YES
execute SSIS by sp
CALL FROM SP
NO
Option "FROM" is not valid.
execute SSIS by sp
CALL_FROM_SP
YES
Anyone could give me some hint ?
Thank you so much!!

Hi Nick,
It occurs because an argument of the DTExec commands must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains a space. From the dtexe (SSIS Tool): Syntax Rules section of the
dtexec Utility (SSIS Tool) document, we can see:
All options must start with a slash (/) or a minus sign (-). The options that are shown here start with a slash (/), but the minus sign (-) can be substituted.
An argument must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains a space. If the argument is not enclosed in quotation marks, the argument cannot contain white space.
Doubled quotation marks within quoted strings represent escaped single quotation marks.
Options and arguments are not case-sensitive, except for passwords.
So, you need to make the value of the variable @QUERY_STRING within double quotes in the value of the variable @Cmd or remove the space within the @QUERY_STRING value.

Pass parameter with blank space for report ver 6

Hi,
I face a problem that i willing to pass the acno where it's value with blank space, for example ' 9' as parameter into my report, and assign it as v_acno. Inside the report query i add a where condition, acno >= :v_acno. When i run the report and pass acno without ' , it do not show any record. But when i run the report and pass acno with ' then able to show the records.
for example the value i key in

Padding a field out with spaces to s set length

Post Author: danish
CA Forum: Formula
Hi,
I'm new at using Crystal Reports.
I am trying to pad a string out to a set length of 50. The initial string is of variable size depending on the data in the field.
Can anyone tell me how I can do this using a while do loop.
ie while field length < 50 add a space to field until field length = 50.

Thanks for that. Managed to work out how to do with while do but this will be helpful for future.
