Removing zeros from the application

hi, we have several users that have loaded zeros instead of blanks or #missing into their webforms and have lots of zeros that are taking up needless space. i was originally thinking of locking and sending #missing where there are zeros, but have realized this will be a very long chore. we have mitigated the issue with users by changing "0" into blanks in user's excel sheets before pasting results in their sv webforms but i'm most concerned about data already in the db.
what would be the best course of action? could we create a calc script that could replace the "0"s with #missing? that seems like an easy solution if we know the correct syntax and all that good stuff. i pose this question as i imagine others have seen this issue and probably know a really good fix.
we are on planning and EAS 9.3 as our administrative tools. please let me know if you need additional info.
thanks, tom

There are two options that come to me
1. Export the data in column format and create a rules file that converts zero values to #missing when loading. This way you have a backup in case anything goes wrong
2. Write a calc script on a dense member where it divides by itself. Something like Local = Local/Local * Local; Any division by zero is #missing. Of course you have to pultiply by the value to get the original value back
5/5 * 5 = 5
0/0 * 0 = #missing
If you do the first option, you would have cleared the database so the reload will defrag it. IF you do the second option, you will need to run a forse restructure to reep the benefits.

How to remove an app icon from Launchpad but not uninstall it without remove it from the Application folder?

Anyone can help? Thanks!

Move it into a folder or a page you don't use.
You could likely edit the database if you understand SQL, but I dont' know if it gets rebuilt periodically.
But, there is no UI to hide/remove items from Launchpad.

Please help me if you have any solution.

If you have a string and not a number right from the beginning then there is no reason to use TO_CHAR.
Simply run
select REPLACE('52000.50','.') from dual;Or use the correct version from Toon if you enter a number value.
Btw. If it is a number you could also simply muliply it by 100.
select 52000.50 * 100 from dual;Edited by: Sven W. on Jul 30, 2010 2:58 PM

Removing zeros from data stream

Hi
I have incoming data (plz see attached diagram which shows the 2 states of the for loop '0' and default) which is a 1-D array of 64 bit real data .....it goes through the loop which removes zeros from the array.
As I have 3 elements in the 1-D array (call them x,y,z ), the loop works very well for all values of 'y' and 'z' .
However when x gets towards 1 and below say 10e-3 (it never is a negative number), the loop is rounding everything to 1 and then when the value gets between 1 and 0 (10e-3 for example) the loop leaves it out altogether and I just get y,z values saved.
Plz help me sort this out .
Cheers
Baz

Removing zeros on the excel download

I wanted to know how we can remove zeros from the kebtr at the excel download through ALV without converting it to a type c. for now I am converting it to type c and then validating it this way :
if tb_main-kebet = 0.
tb_main1-kebtr = space.
endif.
But because of this the formats are not ok and user insists that it should be a numberic field for him.
Thank you very much.

Hello Kris,
I am able to see the data properly in XLS File.
Use fieldcatlog no_zero = 'X'.
Now run the transaction -> click on XL Icon ( if you do not get the data properly using navigation),now see the results here.
you can save same xls file into local machine too.
Thanks

BAPI to remove leading zeros from the serial number

Hi All ,
plz can anybody suggest me the alternative BAPI for 'BAPI_SERVNOT_MODIFY_DATA ',whose function is to delete the leading zeros,from the serial number.
Thanks.

Perhaps instead of using a BAPI you can code it like this.
DATA:serial(10) TYPE n VALUE '0000340078',
pos TYPE i VALUE 1.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WHILE pos <= 10 AND serial+pos(1) = 0.
pos = pos + 1.
ENDWHILE.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '0' IN serial(pos) WITH space.
WRITE serial.

Upload tab-delimited file from the application server to an internal table

Hello SAPients.
I'm using OPEN DATASET..., READ DATASET..., CLOSE DATASET to upload a file from the application server (SunOS). I'm working with SAP 4.6C. I'm trying to upload a tab-delimited file to an internal table but when I try load it the fields are not correctly separated, in fact, they are all misplaced and the table shows '#' where supposedly there was a tab.
I tried to SPLIT the line using as separator a variable with reference to CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB but for some reason that class doesn't exist in my system.
Do you know what I'm doing wrong? or Do you know a better method to upload a tab-delimited file into an internal table?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Can I remove items from the Services menu?

I think the subject line says it all: can I remove items from the Services menu? I have a number of items in the Services menu that I never use and I would like to make the menu shorter to make it easier to access the items that I do use.

There are a couple of things you could try. There's an application called Service Scrubber that is supposed to do this. But the web page says it's for 10.4, though it says it might work on 10.3
Alternatively, you can edit the Info.plist or Info-macos.plist file in each application bundle to remove its service from the Services menu. This post at Mac OS X Hints has a pretty detailed description of how to do it. I tried this on my iMac running 10.3.9 and it worked just fine.
Don't know about the Service Scrubber app, but if you edit the plist files, you'll need to log out and log back in before the changes take effect.
Also, if you decide to edit the files by hand, I'd suggest just renaming NSServices by adding an "x" to the front or something, rather than deleting the item completely. That makes the changes easier to reverse.

How can I remove files from the startup disk

I am getting a screen when I am trying to quit saying the "MAC OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory" by closing the windows and removing files from the startup disk will help.
How do I do this?

That error message is misleading. Your problem is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.
