Problem in Formatting Number in eTEXT template

Hi All
We want to format the payment amount for check in the eTEXT template.
We want a number with 2 digits after decimal point and a comma before 3 digits to the decimal point.
We tried using
Number, ####,###.##
But for the data 135 it is printing 0000135.00, But we want it in 135.00
Similary for data 1356.7, we would like to have 1,356.70
I tried with some trial and errors, but no luck.
your help is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Naga

  • Date formats and etext templates

    I have been working with etext templates in the last few days and am struggling with date conversion. My XML file has dates in the format DD-MON-YY and my output requires DDMMYYYY. It seems that the format conversion in etext template only works when the xml date is in the format YYYY-MM-DD. I thought I would convert the DD-MON-YY using a combination of TO_DATE and TO_CHAR but TO_CHAR doesn't seem to accept the date mask in etext templates. It looks like I will have to modify the original report unless someone has a way to achieve this in the template.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    I had to change the report. You may be able to change the setup in the reports server to alter the default date format but I didn't want to do that in case it affected the output of any of the other reports that are being run. (N.B. I haven't tried this myself so not sure it can be done).
    The change to the report is pretty simple, I just added a formula column that took a copy of the standard column in the report and used to_char to reformat the date. In my case I reformatted to YYYY-MM-DD so that I could use the template to change the format to the required style. This is just in case there is a later change in the output style so I won't have to modify the report again.
    When the date in the XML is in the format YYYY-MM-DD the documented formatting options work (e.g. "Date , DDMMYYYY" would convert "2005-10-26" to "26102005").

  • Application Express 3.1 + BI-Publisher + problem with formating numbers

    Hello together!
    I use the Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word (10.1.3.4) to generate RTF-Templates. I upload these templates in Oracle Apex (Advanced support-->BI-Publisher/OC4J as print service).
    It works well, but I have a problem with formating numbers.
    In Template Builder I define following number formats, for example: #.##0 for numbers like 1.454.234 and #.##0,00 for numbers like 54,80
    In Template-Builder Preview it looks well.
    But whatever I do, in use with Oracle Apex dots and comma are allready interchances in the printout.
    That means,
    1.454.234 become 1,454,234 in PDF-Report
    54,80 become 54.80 in PDF-Report
    Other than that, the layout is exactly the same like in Template Builder defined.
    What's wrong?
    Do I have to change any country parameter?
    Juliane

    I also had the same problem. I tried with normal formating of 99g99g999d99 instead of ##,##,##0.00 and it has resulted correct way.

  • XSLT Processor Bug? format-number() on large numbers

    For numbers 100,000,000.00 and higher, I'm getting extra digits and rounding errors.
    How can I use some custom Java code in the XSL stylesheet so the correct value is displayed (i.e. w/o rounding)? I'm getting a value of 100000000.00 and I need to insert the commas. Sometimes the correct value is displayed, other times, additional numbers are appended and the amount is rounded.

    The XSLT processor uses java.text.DecimalFormat under the covers as the XSLT 1.0 specification suggests. I would imagine any problems with format-number() actually boil down to problems with java.text.DecimalFormat.
    You can use Java Extension functions to perform custom Java in your stylesheet.
    See the file .\extfunc.html in the root directory of the XML Parser for Java V2
    distribution.

  • Creation of sequence in etext template

    Hi All,
    I am creating a custom etext template for a invoice payment which will be forwarded to bank.
    The file will be generated for each invoice payment made one at a time.
    So, I have a requirement where in need to generate a sequence number in of the fields of the extext template. When the first file is send to bank, the sequence should be 1, for the second run the sequence should display 2 and so on.
    Here we cannot use the <RESET AT LEVEL> as RECORD or LEVEL as we need to control the sequence outside the etext template and in the database. So, I believe we should use PERIODIC_SEQUENCE that controls the value in database level.
    My question is how to achieve the relation between the database value and the etext template value.
    ex:
    <DEFINE SEQUENCE> allrecordsequence
    <RESET AT LEVEL> PERIODIC_SEQUENCE
    <INCREMENT BASIS> /outboundtransaction/paymentsequence[sequencename=allrecordsequence]/lastvalue + 1
    <END DEFINE SEQUENCE> allrecordsequence
    In the etext template
    sequence(allrecordsequence)
    The value in the etext template is always generation as 1, as the database record paymentsequence/lastvalue is null.
    Here is the user guide notes:
    Reset at Level
    The reset at level subcommand defines where the sequence resets its starting number. It is a mandatory subcommand. For example, to number the payments in a batch, define the reset at level as Batch. To continue numbering across batches, define the reset level as RequestHeader.
    In some cases the sequence is reset outside the template. For example, a periodic sequence may be defined to reset by date. In these cases, the PERIODIC_SEQUENCE keyword is used for the reset at level. The system saves the last sequence number used for a payment file to the database. Outside events control resetting the sequence in the database. For the next payment file run, the sequence number is extracted from the database for the start at number (see start at subcommand).
    But the sequence value in the database is not getting incremented.
    Appreciate an early response as it is really urgent.
    Thank you in advance.

    I have developed the solution using the below approach-
    Requirement - ( My requirement was a little different to what was mentioned above)
         To generate a sequence number in the e-text template of a invoice payment file.
         In a day when the first file is send to the bank, the sequence should be 1, for the second file the sequence should be 2.
         For the next day run the sequence value should be reset to 1.
    Approach 1) Use the IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB hook and Use sequence in the e-text template.
    GET_INS_EXT_AGG procedure is called once only for the payment instruction.
    It will add XML data element under OutboundPaymentInstruction tag.
    Add a new XML tag with the successful count of the formatted payments in a day.
    SQL query.
    SELECT COUNT (1)
    INTO v_payment_count
    FROM iby_payments_all a
    WHERE UPPER (a.org_name) = <org_name>
    AND UPPER (a.payment_profile_sys_name) =
    'profile system name'
    AND TRUNC (a.creation_date) = TRUNC (SYSDATE)
    AND a.payment_service_request_id <
    (SELECT MAX (b.payment_service_request_id)
    FROM iby_payments_all b);
    In the e-text template use the sequence number
    <DEFINE SEQUENCE>     RecordSeq1
    <RESET AT LEVEL>     OutboundPaymentInstruction
    <INCREMENT BASIS>     LEVEL
    <START AT>          1
    <END DEFINE SEQUENCE >     RecordSeq1
    While referring to the sequence use :- SSPN_PAYMENT_COUNT + SEQUENCE_NUMBER(RecordSeq1)
    to get the latest count of payment files.
    Approach 2) Using payment system
    <DEFINE SEQUENCE>      RecordsSeq1
    <RESET AT LEVEL>      PERIODIC_SEQUENCE
    <INCREMENT BASIS>      LEVEL
    <START AT> /PaymentSequence[SequenceName=’RecordsSeq1’]/LastValue + 1
    <END DEFINE SEQUENCE > RecordsSeq1
    By using a PERIODIC_SEQUENCE it will periodically generate the numbers.
    SEQUENCE_NUMBER(RecordsSeq1) is used to generate the number.
    I believe we need to have a payment system defined and associate the same to a Payment Process Profile.
    Only then can it have association with the last sequence number in the database.
    Please correct me if the Approach#2 set up is incorrect.
    Since Payment system was not necessary for the payment profile that we have used I have used approach 1
    Approach 2 can be used as a guideline :)

  • Format-number not working for me with preview to excel

    Hi,
    I have a report with 8 fields across within a table.
    Each field is formatted in the same way, with format-number like this (there are 8):
    <?format-number:total-year-remaining;’PT999G999D99’?>
    (that's the type-your-own form-field help text in the word template).
    When I preview the PDF, the data looks fine (8 cells shown below):
    .00 (.10) (.10) .00 (.50) (.50) (.60) (.60)
    But when previewing to Excel, there are two problems:
    1. Only the data in the last field (the 8th one) is formatted with the oracle mask:
    (.60)
    But upon closer inspection, there are two blank spaces after the number in that cell, and the value itself is treated like a string, e.g. '(.60) '. In fact if I ask excel to format this cell like a number with currency and two decimal places, in won't do it because of trailing spaces. Its just not a number to excel at that point. Probably the ('s don't help things either.
    2. The data in the first seven fields in excel are numeric, and I can format them in excel as currency, but I wanted XMLP to handle this, not the excel user.
    The bottom line is this: I want both PDF and excel output. I want both forms to have the fomat mask applied correctly. And I want excel to treat each cell as a number. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Anatoli,
    Hello!
    I don't know if my situation is the same as yours, but after a lot of head-scratching, forum searching and template rebuilding, I finally figured out my problem.
    I had one column that no matter what I did kept appearing in Excel as text. I'd format it to Number in Excel and nothing. When trying to sum the column, Excel would not recognize any of the values as numbers. I even did the reformatting on the XML Word template to number, and the currency format that Adam mentions. Still no go. The $ and ',' appeared, but column still formatted as string.
    I just finally noticed Adam's mention of the 2 extra spaces at the end of the numbers and sure enough mine was doing the same thing. Take out the 2 spaces and voila! Number!
    Every time I redid my template in Word (07 and 03), I used the wizard. (Add-ins>Insert>Table>Wizard) walked through the steps, not really changing anything. Then I would preview and the spaces would be there. The column that I was having problems with was the last column of the table, which would get the text 'end G_ASSIGNED_CC' inserted in after the field name - separated by 2 spaces. Once I took out these two spaces, so the column now shows 'COSTend G_ASSIGNED_CC', it worked fine in Excel - all numbers.
    Hope that helps someone out there as I was having a heck of a time finding anything (solutions anyway) on this.
    Thanks,

    What you probably need to do is generate each bio

    <cfdocument...> tag just the way you want them. And
    then use some of
    the advanced <cfpdf...> functionality that allows you
    to append two or

    Here are some resources that describe some of the

  • Format Number Function

    Hello All,
    I am facing a problem in Message Mapping. In the Arithmatic Category we have used the function Format Number. The Number Format  is 0.0
    Decimal Separator is (BLANK)
    In this case If I input any value say 8 or 8.0 then the output should be 8.0. However, I am getting 8,0(COMMA Separator) as the output. This causes the Mapping to Fail.
    This problem occurs on one landscape where as on the other landscape it works fine and gives the output as expected.
    Can anybody help me on that?? Am I missing anything in configuration or are there some special settings for it??
    Kindly help.
    Regards,
    Rohit K

    Hi
    if you put the decimal separator as blank then it will use the . as a decimal separator.
    and when you use the ny other symbol in the decimal separator then it will use that sysmob as decimal separator.
    so please check in ur format number properties what u ahve given.
    Thanks

    You probably do want 'Other Standard LMSs' selected, unless you specifically want to track to one of the other options in that LMS drop-down, correct?
    The issue you're finding is that it's using the 'MultiSco' path incorrectly?
    It should be using the 'Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7\Templates\Publish\LMS\Standard\SCORM' path?
    I don't have CP8 setup yet so can't duplicate the issue.
    If you're sure that's the problem, just backup the '\MultiSco\SCORM\1_2\Default.htm' and copy over the proper path/files from the SCORM directory... So if CP is going to insist on an incorrect path, at least you can put the correct file where it's going to grab from.
    Or, of course, you can just swap out after publishing, right?
    Meanwhile if indeed a bug, report it here:
