Question on Zero in an integer field

I have an array object that has one of the columns defined as an integer.
I map this array to a widget where the corresponding column is text data.
The widget shows a zero when I tab to it. I do not want this zero to show
up so the user can just begin typing into the field. Making this field
integernullable is not an option because I later insert it into a key
field in a table that is not nullable. Any ideas on how to overcome this
would be appreciated!

Re: Suppression of 0 in an Integer field

Chuck,
Use the template of the widget to suppress the zero when it is zero. The
template of an numeric field can contain up to four combinations of
templates, separated by semi-colons: positive;negative;zero;null Thus, a
possible template might be: 0;<0>;; This would display a blank field for
both zero an null values of the integer (or IntegerData / IntegerNullable)
in question.

Control an Integer field Length without using Validation ??

Hi,
I have Couple of fields where I need to configure them as Integers.
Now each one has a fixed length that i need to limit to.
But when i create a field of type: integer, i cannot select teh length!!!
To achive this the idea i have is to write a validation which checks length..
But can i achive it without going for a validation on each field???
PS: I am aware that TEXT field can limit the length But it also allows me to enter text values, my requirement clearly says that to allow users to only enter Numeric values..
Did anyone face a similar Case?
Kind Regards
Eva

Hi Eva,
I didn't try in the system, but I feel there are two solutions to achieve your requirement (*of course in both cases you will need to write a simple validation)
Solution 1 : When field is defined as "Integer" in Console.
lets take an example, you want to restrict an integer field with a limit of max 4 characters.
Maximum value of a 4 character integer can be "9999". So, you can put a simple validation to compare the field value with 9999. if the value is less then this means fields values is less than 4 characters, else more than 5 characters.
In this case Your validation expression in expression editor will be:
FIELD NAME<= "9999"
Solution 2 : When field is defined as "Text" in Console.
In this case you can restrict the maximum field length through Console. But you will also need to write a validation to ensure that user is not entering any alphabets or special characters in this field.
In this Case you can use below validation:
HAS_ALL_CHARS(FIELD NAME, "0","9")
This will ensure that field has all characters between 0 and 9 and doesn't hold any special character or alphabets.
In Both cases you will need to set "Automatic Execution" property as "Error". Also please do not manually type any function or value in expression editor. use drop down for fields, operators, functions etc. and enter numeric values using the first blank box before dimension list.
Kindly revert if you face any issues.

If your message is waiting state and no change
you can try to register the Queues
TCODE SXMB_ADM -> Manage Queues -> Register the Queues.
Or run program: RSXMB_REGISTER_QUEUES .

How do I convert the ASCII character % which is 25h to a hex number. I've tried using the scan value VI but get a zero in the value field.

How do I convert the ASCII character % ,which is 25h, to a hex number 25h. I've tried using the scan value VI but I get a zero in the value field.

You can use String to Byte Array for this.

Dashboard Prompt - Integer field (material number) - remove commas

Hi all,
We have a problem with one number field that added as a prompt in the dashboard. This is an integer field contains Material numbers shows commas and we need to remove commas. Problem is we cannot cast it because we need to keep it as ineteger field to sort the column. Please advise to correct this either repository area or in the dashboard prompt sql statment that applicable to an **integer** field to remove commas.
Appreciate all your help!!
Thanks,

Thank You Svee. I have already tried override and treat number as number but that still showed the commas.
What I was missing was clicking on save as the system-wide default. I never tried that before and this worked. I appreciate your help.

Zero value in Amount field during transaction upload into BPC

Hi Experts,
When I run DM package to load transaction data from BW to BPC,I am getting warning error with rejected list which contains amount field as zero value.
Is it possible to load records with amount value as Zero.My current EPM version is 10 SP14 Patch 1.
Currently my cube is in load mode .I have understood that during transaction data upload the cube should be in load mode and during inputting data using input forms it should be in planning mode.Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks,
Raju

Thanks for your quick turn around.
I have multiple keyfigures which have zero values in some records hence I am getting zero values in Amount field.
Shall I mark Real-Time data Target can be planned; data loading not allowed always.

Suppress trailing zeroes on a DEC field

On the GUI of a program I have one field that the data type is a DEC that has 6 decimal places.
If I enter 1.234 it displays it on the GUI as 1.234000. At the PAI level is there a way to suppress output
of the trailing zeroes? To me its not a big deal, but the users seem to be confused having the extra zeroes. Unfortunately the field is very important to the program so I cannot simply change the data type. There are scenarios where the value could be like 1.234567 so it needs those places. I just need to supress on GUI display.
Anyone can give me a suggestion on how to approach that?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
As of my knowledge it is not possible as you said the value in the decimal part can extend upto 6 digits.
To acheive your requirement you need to write the special code for this...like the split the decimal part to seprate varaible and make the changes and then concatenate the value back.

Getting YYYYMM(format) integer field previous yr

Hello,
I have an integer field which stores dates. It has values such as 201401,201402 etc
Create table #test(yrmnthid integer)
insert into #test values ('201401')
insert into #test values ('201402')
select * from #test
I want to get two things out of this field
1. to get the previous year from the field
so the answer would be (201301,201302)
2. to get the e immediate preceding year and month from the field
so the answer would be (201312,201401)
please advice if this can be done in tsql?
thanks

with cte
as
select cast(cast(yrmnthid as varchar(6))+'01' as date) dt
from #test
) select
convert(char(6),dateadd(year,-1,dt),112) dt1,
convert(char(6),dateadd(y,-1,dt),112) dt2
from cte

RFC Integer field Returns Zero

Hi
We're having a strange issue with a SAP RFC which is called from BizTalk. The SAP function returns a list of customer orders. All fields are fine except the volume field which is an integer and always returns a zero.
I have tested the SAP BAPI which the RFC links to directly in SAP and it returns perfectly with proper values for the volumes.
Any idea why when BizTalk calls the RFC it returns 0 as the value for the integer volume fields?
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Riaz

How is your sap schema? is it "xs:integer" or custom datatype? did you see if there any equivalent conversion type created for the volume field? You need to check in idoc schema.
I have seen some conversion/validation done at the wcf channel against idoc schema. When I talked to SAP guys they suggest to use character with fix length or string type most of the time.
Few things to check:
-> check if there are any spaces leading or trailing in the value field
-> Check the idoc schema if there is any custom type is created
-> Try changing the type to string (not very good idea though but just to check if type conversion is the issue)
-> Agree to exchange the field with other type as I suggested above
If this answers your question please mark it as Answer and if this post is helpful, please vote as helpful. Thanks !

How to report only quantities less than zero on a calculated field

I do not understand why my text will not work when it comes to reporting only 'Missing POs' less than zero, I assume it is because I am using 'int' on some fields?
Any advice?
SELECT
t0.father as 'Parent Code',
t2.itemname as 'Parent Description',
t2.frgnname as 'Parent Status',
t0.code as 'Child Code',
t1.itemname as 'Child Description',
t1.frgnname as 'Child Status',
t0.comment as 'Master',
cast(t3.onhand as int) as 'Child Uncommitted Stock',
cast(t3.iscommited as int) as 'Child Committed Stock',
(cast(t3.onhand as int) - cast(t3.iscommited as int)) as 'Child Free Stock',
cast(t3.onorder as int) as 'Purchase Orders',
(cast(t3.onhand as int) - cast(t3.iscommited as int)) + cast(t3.onorder as int) as 'Missing POs'
FROM
itt1 t0
inner join oitm t1 on t0.code = t1.itemcode
inner join oitm t2 on t0.father = t2.itemcode

Where T3.WHSCODE Like '[%0]%' and 'Missing POs' < 0
ORDER BY
'Missing POs' asc, t0.father, t0.code
Many thanks,
Robin (I will be awarding points on all my outstanding questions shorlty - management time pressure at mo!)

Try this:

How to add Zero to an integer value from left (like 999 to 0999)

hello,
any body please tell me how to add "0" to an integer from left
i just want to make my value 999 to 0999
and i tried with converting it to strings but after adding zero i have to make the string to integer again because my method accepts integers onli.
thanks in advance
ranadheer

i will be much clear now
i have a jar file which takes date and time as input
but the it accepts only 4 digits in the Year field
so if i have date with year before 1000 its not
accepting.so with keeping year field as integer i
have to make the 3 digits to 4 digits by appending
0 at the front
thanks and regards
RanadheerThen you need to keep that variable as a String (before parsing it to a Date object), not as a numerical value. You can prepend a String to another String using the + operator.
String s = "0"+"123";
