Padding zeros

Hi friends,
I need a small help.
My requirement is like,I need to pad zeroes in front of a quantity value.
I am using CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT.But,it is going into dump,because
I am passing a quantity field as input.
Can any one suggest any function module,to pad zeroes to a quantity value or decimal value.
Points guaranteed,
Imran

hi masood,
first Convert that Quantity field value into Char type and then pass it to conversion routine..
ex:
data: var(length) type c.
var = quantity field.
and then pass it to conversion routine.

Padded zeros which is removed need to be replaced by spaces

Hi Friends,
My requirement in XI is : Padded zeros which is removed need to be replaced by spaces.
for removing padded zeros I used the UDF:
int i = Integer.parseInt(a);
return (Integer.toString(i));
It is working fine.
Please help as how to go abt in coding : whatever zeros get taken off , need to be replaced with spaces.
Thanks in Advance,
Meghna.

Hi Raj,
According to the logic given by Henrique, its working. But the point to the noted is that :
The number of spaces need to be equal to the number of zeros removed, where it not happening in this case.for the below Ex when applied it returned ' 12345' instead of ' 12345'.
For ex. source field is '000012345' then the target field need to be ' 12345'.
the Type declared in the data type for the receiver field is integer with length 15.
Is it possible to move the field value to the right justified, so the the padded zeros code when applied will automatically load spaces.Becoz the code written for removing zeros contains String due to which it is left justified i think.
The code written for removing zeros is :
int i = Integer.parseInt(a);
return (Integer.toString(i));
please suggest in this regard.
Regards,
Meghna.

A query on removing additionally padded zeroes from the pernr.

Hi ,
How can i remove the padded zeroes from the pernr, Ex pernr is 8 chars and if pernr has 6 chars it has to remove appended 2 zeroes from the left and should only print the 6 chars with no appended zeroes
Thanks

Pad Zeros in user Exit

What is the syntax to pad a value with zeros in a user exit code.
I have a value of MONTH 01,02, 03...12. Then to get previous month I do MONTH-1 but this gives me 1,2,3...12. and I loose the zero which i will need when I concatenate with year to get what I need...

IP Adresses - padding zeroes for ORDER BY

Hi!
I have a table with an IP address inside (type varchar2(50)). The data inside looks like 192.168.0.1. Now, my app should be able to ORDER BY this ip address. This means, when I do ORDER BY on this column without any changes, the output is wrong:
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.10
192.168.0.11
192.168.0.2
and so on.
Is there a way to temporarily pad the leading zeroes, e.g.
to 192.168.000.001?
Thanks in advance
André
PS: To all those who helped me with my large-table-speed-problem some months ago: The project has been dropped :-( Thanks again anyway.

Depending on how much use you make of IP addresses in your application, it might be worth defining IP_ADDRESS as a type, as then it could have its own MAP or ORDER function and you can simply ORDER BY the IP address column.
Here is a basic example using IPv4 n.n.n.n addresses. You could add IPv6, domain name, etc etc as necessary.

UDF for padding zeroes

Hi
I need a UDF Code for the following requirement ,which is used in various fields across a lot of mappings
Requirement is that if it is a fixed length file and the field length is 10 then whatever value thats coming should be right alligned and there shud be zeroes padded to the left of it
for e.g
field length is 10
input value os 3456
then the output should be 0000003456
I want to make it a generic function wher i can take the field length and the input value as inputs
Dev

Hi,
You can edit my function. What you can do is send the length as one input and then it should work. Add this code:
Create a value udf with two input arguments a and input. Then add this code:
Imports: java.*;
int len=input.length();
int b = Integer.parseInt(a);
for(int i=0; i<b-len;i++)
input="0"+input;
return input;
Here pass the total length of the field in first argument and then send the input value to teh second argument. Then it should work for you.

Filename manipulation to get padded zero

Hi All,
I am using a file adapter and used the file name as "source_target_fl_%yyyyMMdd%_%SEQ%.xml"
From file adapter wsdl:
<jca:operation
LogicalDirectory="OUT_DIR"
InteractionSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileInteractionSpec"
FileNamingConvention="source_target_fl_%yyyyMMdd%_%SEQ%.xml"
OpaqueSchema="false" >
</jca:operation>
Now is there any method that I can get the filename as source_target_fl_20090818_00001.xml , I mean I need to do left pad to the sequence, is this possible to do it in the wsdl itself.

How to pad zeros at the left?

Hi All,
I have requirement where
Input is 1234
and Output should be :-0000001234(6 Zeros at left).
Please let me knw how to do it.
Thanks,
Suraj

hi Suraj,
If you are sure its should be always prefixed with 6 zeros then u can use above mentioned method.
But if you are not sure about the input string lenghth than below udf will help.
s = "000000".substring(s.length()) + s;
where s= input value which is 1234 in ur example given.
hope this solves your problem.
thanks and regards,

Payables: Cannot start a Payment Document number with Zero

Hi all,
I have a bit of an unusual situation. One of my users wants to issue cheques from a book where the serial starts with 0 (015698, 015699 etc). However, Oracle Payables automatically deletes the 0 at the top of the string and leaves only rest of the integers in the cheque number field. This creates a problem in printing the payment voucher since the voucher will show the paid cheque number without the zero at the front.
Any suggestions as to how i can overcome this?
Miranga

Hi Miranga,
Note 1361688.1, R12: Payables Check Number Not Accepting Leading0. Ex: 060078, discusses this issue with the note that:
"This is a normal behavior, There is no chance to have leading 0 in the check number, The check number in the AP_CHECKS_ALL table is a numeric field, so we can't have padded zeros."
For reconciliation, the leading check numbers are removed so matching can occur, assuming you have patch 12976660 applied.

Leading Zeros Supression

How Can I supress Leding zeroes into target Structure?. Iam getting 10 digits filled zeros left justified and my target systems doesn't need zeros. Is there Standard function in Mapping I can use?

Hi,
With th ehelp of Substring standard function you can achieve that, if you know the exact number or length.
Elese it is prefer to write a Java User Defined function to achieve the same.
Just check with FormatNum inbuilt functions.
This thread discusses about padding zeros, instead of this, you need to substring it..

Remove leading zeros from a string

Hi,
I have a string with some numeric value.
e.g.
String a = 54890001
I want to make it 10 digits long by padding zeros at the begining
Now a = 0054890001 ( this is for display purpose ) I know how to do it.
Now How can strip these leading zeros from this number to get back the actual number. The user sees this 10 digit number and he can change it to something like 0067490001. Now I want to strip these leading zeros.
and i shd get 67490001.
In other words, how to strip leading zeros from a string ?
Thanks for help
Vinod

I would try two things: First, just try a straightforward parsing of your String using the Integer.parseInt() method. This is only my first suggestion because the number could be interpreted as octals; only testing will really tell. Second, try a method like this:
public static String removeLeadingZeros(String str) {
 if (str == null) {
 return null;
 char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
 int index = 0;
 for (; index < str.length; index++) {
 if (chars[index] != '0') {
 break;
 return (index == 0) ? str : str.substring(index);

String padding in FCC

Hello All,
I have receiver FCC and have requirement of Right padding strings and left padding numerics. FCC is of fixedLength.
String data type fields have to be end padded with " " e.g. "Data "
Numeric or Decimal data type have to be forward padded with "0" e.g. "000001234". Can we handle something like this in FCC itself. Is there any solution except writing and using UDF for each field.
Regards
Arpil

String data type fields have to be end padded with " "
I don't think you need right padding as it is already fixed lenght FCC, the space will be added to the string if its shorter than the specified length.
To control this behaviour you can use NameA.fixedLengthTooShortHandling.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/d2/bab440c97f3716e10000000a155106/content.htm
And for left padding zero's, you either need to use numFormat function as mentioned or write a udf. I dont think this can be handled in FCC.
Refer this link for UDF-

Procedure or function to trim leading zeros

Hi!
I need to create a procedure or function that can trim the leading zeros of a value (character string).
I.e.
Original: 0000012345,67
Output: 12345,67
Thanks for any ideas/examples!

Prevent oracle suppresses the leading zero

Hi guys,
What is the best way to prevent oracle from suppressing leading 0 while convert a number to char. I am using Release 11.2.0.1.0.
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL> select to_char(0.01) from dual;
TO_
.01I can achieve this by using decode, for example:
SQL> select decode(instr(to_char(0.01), '.'),
2                1,
3                '0' || to_char(0.01),
4                to_char(0.01)) val
5    from dual;
VAL
0.01
SQL>But it doesn't look very pretty, is there a better way to do this please? Please note my data is mixed with values with or without decimal places. When the value is greater equal than 1, i want to have the output as same as to_char(val), the padding zero only applies to when the value is between 0 to 1. Many thanks.
Best regards,
Pete

Many thanks Justin, but it doesn;t give quite what i want
SQL> select to_char(1, '0.99') col from dual;
COL
1.00
SQL>Please note my data is mixed with or without decimal places, for example value 123, i just want to show 123, NOT 123.00 instead. At the moment i am using decode to do this as:

2                1,
3                '0' || to_char(123),
4                to_char(123)) val
5    from dual;

123
