Quantity field fro char or date data type

Hi,
I am using DELVRY03 idoc type and some of the quantity fields are empty not being used, is it a good idea if I can use these quantity fields for Char type or datetype data.
Regards
Rinku

Hi Rinku..
Your question is not that clear.
Let me give you some ideas.
1. All Segment fields are store in CHAR Format in Database in EDID4-SDATA field
2. If you want to add new fields it is better to Create a New Segment in WE31 And Create an Extended IDoc type in WE30.
3. It is not advisable to use the existing fields for storing some other data.
Reward if Helpful.

Convert quantity field to char field

Hi folks ,
i have a requirement where i need to convert quantity field value to char field value so as to send in idoc.
plz help me .its urgent
regards,
chandra

data: f1(17).
f1 = qauntity_field.
lenth of the field f1 is the same or gr8 than quan_field also add one more place for decimal .
ex-
ur quan_filed like 13 and 3 decimal place than ur char field must be
13 + 3 + 1(for decimal) = 17

I am trying to create a generic datasource - quantity field is hidden?

Hi all,
I am trying to create a new generic data source using the function module, when i am trying to save the dataosource. I am getting an error message :
Unit field waers.for field dmbtr of data source abc is hidden?
Can anyone let me know how to solve this?
I can see there is one amount field called dmbtr used in the extract structure and it contains the unit field waers.
Thanks

Hi pooja
            here u has to maintain reference field to dataelement dmbrs in order to get this field in to datasource.
for this   1.go to extract structure
              2.then go to currency/quantity fields tab
              3.give the unit type waers for field dmbrs
              4.thensave the extract structure and
              5.go to data source and make sure the field is selected
i hope this solves ur problem

How to read char() for bit data DB2's type in Oracle?

Hello,
I am developing an application (from JDeveloper) to operate with two data base. In one hand threre is Oracle and in the other one DB2 (AS400).
I am trying to read a DB2'sfield with the "char() for bit data" type from Oracle, but I can't read it.
I have trying:
rset.getObject(1) -->[B@1a786c3
rset.getBinaryStream(1) --> java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@1a786c3
rset.getAsciiStream(1) --> java.io.ByteArrayInputStream@2bb514
rset.getCharacterStream(1) -->java.io.StringReader@1a786c3
Do you have any solution to see the value of this type of field?
Thank you and regards

I have to synchronize unidirectionally from the Oracle database to DB2. And I'd like to save the information of the record of DB2 prior to the update operation.
And here is where the problem arises for me, because when I try to read from Java with the connection established on DB2 is unable to interpret the information. While there are no problems from Oracle to consume the information, it happens that DB2 field types are not common with Oracle, such as char () for bit data. From what I could find the equivalent in Oracle would be raw (), but since Java is possible to read this type of information... And this is my doubt, it is necessary to do any type of cast or to do a special view to retrieve this information?

How to make a list item field with DATE data type?

I have a column with DATE data type. Using forms 6i I want to generate a poplist list item field with this column while the value of the elements in the list to will be day names like SATURDAY,SUNDAY,MONDAY. if we change the data type from date to char, it will work properly but now with DATE data type behind it, it gives the following error message
"FRM-32082: Invalid value for given item type.
List WEEKREST
Item: WEEKREST
Block: EMPRESTS
Form: MODULE3
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output."
Using forms 6i how to make a list item field with DATE data type which can hold day names?

Set your date column as a hidden (non-displayed) field. Create your list item with the varchar2 day names. Create the list item as a non-base-table field that accepts the text values of day names. On that field, create a when-validate-item trigger that translates the text into a real date, which it then uses to set the value of the actual base-table item.

Select data from a table and a view: field with same content and different type

hi all,
I need data from a table hrp1001 and a view V_USR_NAME. What they have in common are the content of the fields SOBID and BNAME .
It will be easier if those fields add a same type but they dont.
Any suggestions for a workaround?
Thanks

Hi Ramesh,
Specify the date format as YYYYMMDD in where condition.
Dates are internally stored in SAP as YYYYMMDD only.
Change your date format in WHERE condition as follows.
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and bdatu = '99991231'.
I doubt check your data base table EQUK on this date for the existince of data.
Otherwise, just change the conidition on BDATU like below to see all entries prior to this date.
data itab like equk occurs 0 with header line.
select * from equk into table itab where werks = 'C001'
and bdatu <= '99991231'.

How to Update Date data type field value in oracle

I want to update records in a table that has a Date data type field. It's a oracle databse. I use the oracle thin drive to connect to the database. The everything works well, only when i try to update records that have date type value, something doesn't work.
I use the following stmt to update DB:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:portnumber:schname", "uid","pwd");
stmt=Conn.createStatement();
String updStr = "UPDATE Article SET Archive = ' Disable' WHERE ArticleDate = # " + sqlDate +"# " ;
stmt.executeUpdate( updAStr ) ;
But I always got the SQLException run time error, which is "ORA-00911: invalid character"
Who can help me to find out how to write the above Update statement correctly? esp. that how to present the Date type variable in the statement.!
BTW, sqlDate is a Java.sql.Date variable, Is it "# " + sqlDate + "# " the right way?
Many thanks

What do you get out of Oracle's TO_DATE that java.sql.PreparedStatement.setDate()
won't give you? - MODWell, I don't know that I've used all capabilities of either, but when it comes to managing Date Strings my Oracle bias :) would be to code using Oracle's TO_CHAR and TO_DATE functions. Perhaps someone can tell me vendor neutral ways to do something simiilar to managing these input date/times (and hopefully just as easily, pretty much all done in a single line, single function)?
WHERE aDATE > TO_DATE('2010','YYYY')
WHERE aDATE > TO_DATE('2010 AUG 22','YYYY MMM DD')
WHERE aDATE > TO_DATE( 'January 15, 1989, 11:00 A.M.', 'Month dd, YYYY, HH:MI A.M.')
I believe most databases have something similar to this, although I have found Oracle's to be the most flexible and consistent, if not the most intuitive. Other vendors (DB2, SQL Server, Access) don't force you to always be explicit, and can accept a variety of date strings without masks. The problem is that while you might not be getting an error, it also may not be parsing your date as expected.
One could argue that this vendor specific hodgepodge of literal date/time strings is only one program modification away from disaster. They might be right.
Just to be clear. I'm not recommending using a vendor specific approach, but it's not a perfect world and somtimes you have to use what works easiest or best or fastest, and in some cases, that is the vendor specific alternatives.

Move space to Date & Numc type fields

Hi Experts,
I have data declaration like this.
data :
char1(10) type c,
dat1 type dats,
num1 type numc.
Now i want to move spaces to all of them based on certain conditions. So i use
move : space to char1,
space to dat1,
space to num1.
for char1 it displays empty but for dat1 it shows - - or / /
and for num1 it shows 000 (depending on length of field).
Now how do i fully clear the char1 and num1 field as well?
thanks

Dan,
For ALV , why we need to go for roundway solution. Please check the following parameters in the field catalog
ie
NO_SIGN = 'X'
NO_ZERO = 'X'
system will take care the rest.
In your first post you have not mentioned anything about displaying the values in ALV

Joining table using CHAR and VARCHAR data type as indicator

Hi All,
I would like to join 3 tables together but I'm unable to get a perfect concordance (using =) between CHAR and VARCHAR data type.
Does a command exist to get impartially all data treated as CHAR or VARCHAR ?
Thanks in advance for your help !

You want the database to perform with such a crappy database design? Good luck with that.. Instead, you need to look at why you are NOT using surrogate integer based keys for your data tables..
Thank you,

Data: stru_tab type ref to data? what data refers to?

Dear friends,
                     Relatively iam new to WDA. can u please explain me below statement.
data: stru_tab type ref to data.

Actually there are not really any Web Dynpro sepecific data types. The ones mentioned are simply data dictionary data types that are defined for use with WD, but can be used in any ABAP applications. You should start your research with just ABAP data types. Look in the ABAPDOCU transaction or search the keyword documentation for DATA. There is lots of documentation on the ABAP native data types.
Here is a little bit of it:
Predefined ABAP Types
The table below shows the predefined ABAP types. Additional attributes can be found under value ranges and initial values.
Type Length Standard length Description
b 1 Byte   1 byte integer (internal)
c 1 to 65,535 characters 1 character Text field
cursor as i as i Database cursor
d 8 characters   Date field
f 8 bytes   Floating point number
i 4 bytes   4 byte integer
n 1 to 65,535 characters 1 character Numeric text
p 1 to 16 bytes 8 bytes Packed number
string variable   Text string
s 2 bytes   2 byte integer (internal)
t 6 characters   Time field
x 1 to 65,535 bytes 1 byte Byte field
xstring variable   Byte string
These types are predefined in every ABAP program.
All predefined ABAP types in this table are elementary.
Apart from the types b and s, the predefined ABAP types can also be used to define your own data types and data objects and for typing. The types b and s cannot be specified directly in ABAP statements. Self-defined data types and data objects in ABAP programs are of the data type b and s if they are defined with reference to data elements to the ABAP Dictionary which are of the external data types INT1 or INT2.
The predefined data types string and xstring describe data objects of variable length (dynamic data objects). While the length of data objects in all other elementary data types is determined for its whole lifetime, the length of text and byte strings varies according to their content (the maximum size of a string is determined by profile parameter ztta/max_memreq_MB, see Maximum size of dynamic data objects).
The program-globally predefined data type cursor is currently synonymous with the predefined ABAP type i. This is required for the declaration of a cursor variable for database cursor handling.
All predefined ABAP types for which a length interval is specified in second column in the table are generic, which means that the length is not part of the type description. For the type p, the fractional portion is indefinite as well as the length.
The entries in the standard length column specify the length that is used for the corresponding generic data type when declaring data objects, if no explicit length is specified in the relevant statement.
In Unicode systems, the length must either be specified in characters and bytes. In non-Unicode systems, the length of a character is one byte, but in Unicode systems the length of a character depends on which Unicode character representation is used.
Generic ABAP Types
The following table shows the predefined generic ABAP types. A generic data type is an incomplete type specification that includes several complete type specifications. The generic types can be used for the typing of field symbols and formal parameters. The only generic type that can be used for typing of data references is the predefined type data. The predefined generic type for object references is object. When a data object is assigned to generically typed field symbols using the statement ASSIGN, or to a formal parameter in procedure calls, the system checks whether its concrete data type is a of the generic type, or is compatible with it.
Type Description
any Any data type (suitable for any type)
any table Internal table of any table type
c Text field of generic length
clike Character-type (c, d, n, t, string and character-type flat structures); in non- Unicode programs also x, xstring and any flat structures
csequence Text-type (c, string)
data Any data type
hashed table Hashed table
index table Index table
n numeric text of generic length
numeric Numeric (b, i, p, f, s)
object Any object type (root class of the inheritance hierarchy)
p Packed number of generic length and generic number of decimal places
simple Elementary data type including structured types with exclusively character-type flat components
sorted table Sorted table
Standard table Standard table
table Standard table
x Byte field of generic length
xsequence byte-type (x, xstring)
The genric types clike, csequence, numeric,simple, and xsequence are available as of release 6.10.
Notes
The generic type any currently has the same effect in typing as the generic type data. When declaring references, any cannot yest be specified after REF TO. Generic data references (REF TO data) or generic object references (REF TO object) are possible. The generic type object can currently only be specified after REF TO.
Except for the built-in generic types illustrated in the table above, there are at the moment no self-defined generic types in ABAP with only one exception: A table type defined with TYPES - TABLE OF or defined in the ABAP Dictionary without completely specifying the table key, is also generic.
Predefined Types in the ABAP Dictionary
The following table lists the predefined types in the ABAP Dictionary. These types cannot be used directly in ABAP programs, and are therefore known as external data types. Instead, they are used in the ABAP Dictionary for the definition of data types to which ABAP programs can refer. The predefined data types of the ABAP Dictionary must also be taken into account in Open SQL statements and when working with screens: Open SQL statements work with database tables defined in the ABAP Dictionary whose colums have external data types. Screen fields are also declared in the Screen Painter with reference to external data types.
Type Permitted Places m Meaning ABAP Type
ACCP 6 Accounting period n(6)
CHAR 1-255 Character string c(m)
CLNT 3 Client c(3)
CUKY 5 Currency key c(5)
CURR 1-31 Currency field p((m+1)/2)
DATS 8 Date d
DEC 1-31 Calculation/amount field p((m+1)/2)
FLTP 16 Floating point number f(8)
INT1 3 1 byte integer b
INT2 5 2 byte integer s
INT4 10 4 byte integer i
LANG 1 Language c(1)
LCHR 256-... Long character string c(m)
LRAW 256-... Long byte string x(m)
NUMC 1-255 numerischer Text n(m)
PREC 2 Accuracy of a quantity field s
QUAN 1-31 Quantity field p((m+1)/2)
RAW 1-255 Byte sequence x(m)
RAWSTRING 256-... Byte sequence xstring
SSTRING 1-255 Character string string
STRING 256-... Character string string
TIMS 6 Time t
UNIT 2-3 Unit key c(m)
For types LCHR and LRAW, the maximum number of places in a transparent database table is the value of the preceding INT2 field.
The types RAWSTRING and STRING have a variable length. A maximum length for these types can be specified, but has no upper limit.
The type SSTRING is available as of release 6.10 and it has a variable length. Its maximum length must be specified and is limited to 255. The advantage of this type compared with CHAR, is that it is assigned to the ABAP type string.
The table below shows the data types of the ABAP Dictionary that are based on the predefined types in the above table, and that can be addressed in an ABAP program. The elementary components of these data types are converted to predefined ABAP data types according to the final column in the above table, whereby the number of places m of each type is converted to lengths.
Data types in the ABAP Dictionary Data types in ABAP
Data element Elementary data type, Reference type
Structure, Database table, View Structured data type
Table type Table type
Note
As of release 6.20, a component of structures or database tables that has the type LANG can be identified as a text language. The text language is used for the conversion of character-type components of the structure when importing data from data clusters and for RFC between MDMP systems and Unicode systems.

Problem in Read Master Data rule type in Transformation

Hi,
I have 'Tax Classification' & 'Sales Territory' as attributes for 0customer (Master data). I loaded master data for 0customer & data have come up for this 2 fields. I want this 2 fields in my DSO with data filled. As this 2 fields are not in Transaction datasource of my DSO, i added this 2 fields in the Target side in Transformation of the DSO. In Transformation, I gave the rule type as 'Read Master Data' from attribute of '0customer' & mapped KUNAG (Sold-to) to this 2 fields. Activated the Transformation & executed the DTP.
When i check the data, i could see that the Infoobject 'Sales Territory' column alone is filled but 'Tax Classification' column is blank. Tax classification has data in 0customer master data for the displayed customer values but still data is not coming in DSO.
How does this happen when both the fields have same mapping & rule type and still data not getting populated for one field alone. Am i missing anything?

hi,
the green request in MD does not means that the data in MD is activated, you need to activate it after loading everytime so that it reflects in where used list as well.

Date field not working like a date field

We have quite a few date objects in the Universe but only some seem to function as a date field whereas some do not.
The easiest way to tell whether a date field is functioning as a date field seems to be to add the date fields as a filter in a query. If it is a proper date field a Calendar option appears. If it is not, no Calendar option appears.
In the screenshot below, the Latest Approved Date functions like a proper date object and shows a calendar option. The other field does not even though it is a date field too.
I'm checking with this forum as the Universe designer didn't have any answer for this.

HI Vivek,
Go to Universe Designer
click on object (Latest Approved Date)
click on definition
go to TYPE scroll down and select type as DATE
and export now check the filter it will work
try once

Data Origin Types not filled in the tab "Control Data" of BP interface

Hello experts,
I have loaded the clients from ECC6.0 to CRM 4.0.
Before I have loaded the clients I have maintained the data origin type for the BP in spro -> cross application components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business partner -> Basic settings -> Data Origin -> Maintain Data Origin Type.
After I have done the load initial of clients, the field "Data Origin" is empty in the tab "Control Data" in BP interface. If I do F4 in the field appear the configuration that I did in spro appear.
For this field will appear filled I'll need to do more configurations in spro?
Best regards,
Mary

Hi Mary,
The middleware does not fill this field in BP master data. You can maintain data origin type in SPRO, however the mBdoc does not use this customizing in order to fill this field.
Please try to use the BADI CRM_DATAEXCHG_BADI in order to fill this field during master data download.
It hope it helps.

Gabriel Santana
