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.

doesn't seem to work either. Am I doing something wrong?

  • 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 can I suppress a sub report if a field contains the charcaters N/A

    I have created a report (using Crystal Reports 10) containing several sub reports.  I have used the Selection Expert and checked the Suppress Blank Section check box for all the sub reports.  This will hide the sub report if the fields have null values.  I would like to be able to suppress the sub report if any fields contain the characters N/A.  Is there a formula or a method I can use that will suppress a sub report if the only field value is N/A?

    You can have a summary field for counting if there're any 'N/A'. If there are any, you can then suppress the corr. section. Further in the section in which the subreport is placed, within the main one, you can tick 'Suppress blank section' in the section expert.

  • Question on Zero in an integer field

  • 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 !

  • Suppress and release the sales document field.

    How can we Suppress and release the fields in sales document. Eg. I want to suppress Qty field in sales document item. Please respond ASAP.

    REFER BELOW
    Supressing Fields in Sale Order
    To make optional / mandatory you can use in IMG - S&D-> Basic > Functions-> Log of incomplete Procedures =>  select the fields > from the tables and the system will check for them (OVA2/VUA2)
    To make a filed entry enabled or grey (non-entry allowed):
    User exits in the program MV45AFZZ-USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION
    This user exit can be used to modify the attributes of the screen  fields.
    To do this, the screen fields are allocated to so-called modification groups 1 - 4 and can be edited together during a modification in ABAP.
    If a field has no field name, it cannot be allocated to a group. The usage of the field groups (modification group 1-4) is as follows:
    Modification group 1: Automatic modification with transaction MFAW
    Modification group 2: It contains 'LOO' for step loop fields
    Modification group 3: For modifications which depend on check tables or on other fixed information
    Modification group 4: is not used
    The FORM routine is called up for every field of a screen. If you require changes to be made, you must make them in this user exit. This FORM routine is called up by the module FELDAUSWAHL.
    Actually suppressing fielding sales orders userwise is quite easy. We are doing it in our company. For this we use userexit FORM USEREXIT_FIELD_MODIFICATION in MV45AFZZ.
    Below is the sample code
    IF SCREEN-NAME = 'VBKD-ABSSC'.
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'ZMV45AFZZ' ID 'SCRFNAME' FIELD SCREEN-NAME.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        SCREEN-INPUT = 1.
      else.
        SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
      ENDIF.
    endif.
    You place the authority check object in authorization profile in the role of the users, who should have access to the field (in this case it is VBKD-ABSSC), and there assign the corresponding fields that are to be accessed via this user exit.

  • Suppress "Select Image" Dialog in Image Field

    Hi everybody,
    does anybody know how to suppress the "Select Image" dialog when clicking an image field? I want to use an image as a button, but everytime I click it this dialog appears first before executing the script of the click event.
    Or do you have other ideas how to use an image as a button?
    Thanks & best regards,

    Images as buttons are not supported in Adobe.

  • 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.
