Retain starting 0's of char data when using to_number

I am using a check in sql loader control file as follows:
appl_id "to_char(to_number(:appl_id)"
the field in table is varchar2,but the data to be inserted is of the format 000540300
I need to retain the starting 0's and also check that the data does not contain any characters apart from numbers.
Please suggest any method.
Thanks in advance.

If data contains not numeric values, of course to_number will fail. Try
lpad(to_char(to_number(:appl_id)), 9, '0') -- (9 is only an example)

    Hi
    You can achieve it in another way..
    Before Passing Data to BAPI , Check whether the material is existing or not..
    If material is existing (Present in Material Master Tables e.g. MARA ) using
    data: l_matnr like mara-matnr.
    Select single matnr from mara into l_matnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    " Material is existing ==> Do Not Pass to BAPI
    else.
    " Material is NOT existing ==> Pass to BAPI for creation.
    endif.
    Repeat above logic for every material in batch..
    Hope it will solve your problem..
    Thanks & Regards

  • Does verizon selects collect data when using wifi ?

    When signing up for verizon selects is states it collects data when using wireless service but does it collect data when using home wifi which is not verizon?

    I'm not sure why one would want to participate in this program but if one is weary about it I for sure wouldn't use it.

  • When I connect to wi fi does my 3G automatically switch off. As I seem to be using a lot of my data when using wi fi at home

    When I connect to wi to, does 3G automatically switch off my iphone4s as I seem to be using a lot of data even when using wi fi at home ?? Thank you

    Hi,
    As far as I know, when you have a WiFi-connection all data will go through WiFi and therefor will NOT use your 3G data.
    Kind regards,

  • Maintaining personal data when using Configurator to restore from backup.....

    Hi all
    I think I've got this right....and I hope someone has a solution.
    At my school we maintain a number of clusters of shared ipads, all supervised by Apple Configurator.  When I initially set them up, I created a 'master' ipad wiht folders, profile etc and then backed this one up and then restored from back-up to push this identical 'image' out to create identical iPads.  This has worked well.
    Over time we have added apps via Configurator, done updates etc.  New apps invariably get placed outside folders and things become untidy.  It kinds of defeats the purpose to then manually re-organise each device to place the apps into folders etc.  The logical thing (seems to be?) is to get one iPad set up wth the appropriate 'new' apps in new folders.....making all as it should be, then create a new back-up of this 'master' ipad and use the back-up to restore to all other ipads so that they reflect the apps being in the new folders all neat and tidy. 
    Trouble is, as soon as you restore from back-up, any personal data.......photos, documents, movies, etc gets wiped from the machine.  Not good in a school environment.
    So......have I gone down the wrong path.....is there another way I'm not aware of?  How are others managing this?  Have I got it totally wrong?
    Thanks
    Chris.

    Hi einnebcj,
    I hear you. I too am a mobile device administrator for a school district and encounter the same issues you are experiencing.
    I stopped doing folders on my "image." Instead am recommending and encouraging staff and students to use the Spotlight Search screen. When you have several dozen or 100+ apps, scrolling through screens and/or folders trying to find an app can be very time consuming. I am finding that students and staff are able to get to their app faster by searching with Spotlight. Just a quick drag to the right and start typing the first few letters of the app.
    Teaching users about the Spotlight Search screen is good for more than just finding apps. It'll also search contacts, email messages, photos, calendar events,  music, videos, notes, and more. Furthermore, it'll allow the user to select Safari and search the web. Spotlight is a very valuable tool that I think everyone should take advantage of.
    I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but I hope it helps!

  • What is considered data when using the internet.

    I was, regretfully, convinced by Verizon that I needed to go wireless all the way when my wife and I purchased our phones. We are on a shared 10GB plan. I honestly thought I was getting unlimited internet use like I had with an ATT router. No one told me we would be using the data from our phone plan. We are using a laptop and a desk computer and only use them for personal use intermittently during the day. Within a week we start getting warnings about going over our data limit. I would like to know exactly what constitutes DATA and why are we going over the limit so quick. According to our usage reports, our phones are using very little. We are using the SCH-LC 11 hot spot. Any help is appreciated.

    DATA as far as VZW is concerned is any communication that you send/request over thier network (internet).  This could be emails, websites, pictures, videos, ect.  If you are accessing anything over the internet on a VZW device then VZW considers it data and deducts it from your shared data plan.
    Chances are very good that your home computers are chatting over the internet while you are away or asleep.  This chatter can be generated automatically by auto update programs, virus scans, MS patches or apps running on your home appliances. 
    To get to the bottom of it you will need to do some research and discover what is going on with your home network.  This proceedure starts by disconnecting anything that is not currently in use and disabling any kind of auto updates on the computers.  Do not leave anything connected when you are not using it and try to only use one device at a time.  This isolates your traffic to specific devices so that you can look at your data logs and determine what was connected and using data at that time.
    From there continue to check your Data logs on the VZW website and cross reference the times with whatever was connected until you can determine where your big consumptions are coming from.
    Watching Videos, downloading pictures or streaming audio are going to be your biggest hitters for personal internet useage so keep that in mind too.  Normal websurfing and emails are not normally a large portion of most folks data use.

  • Discoverer 4i Plus returns no data when using views with db link references

    I am using Discoverer 41 Plus to view reports online.
    When I create a worksheet based on a view, that only references local tables, everything is OK and Disco plus shows the output OK.
    When I create a worksheet based on a view, that references a Database link, Disco plus gives me an "Query caused no data to be returned" error.
    Is this to be expected from Discoverer Plus?
    Thanks - Sue.

    I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the default position (and default aggregate) for the EUL folder item? I can see that some of the folders have number type items with default position 'Data Point' and others have these with default position of 'Top or Side'. I'm totally stabbing around in the dark here; looking at EUL folders which exhibit the problem and those which don't.
    I've tried changing one field to 'Data Point' and it hasn't helped. Will try changing the join items now I think.
    If anyone has any comments, would be v. grateful as I'm looking at dropping folders which have quite a bit of code around them and trying to re-create them exactly, which is a risky and horrible solution.

  • Berkeley db lost data when using autocommit

    I has written an app which uses berkeley db 4.5.20(libdb_cxx-4.5.so). There are serveral threads reading and writing the same db using autocommit. All the reading threads share one db handle and All writing threads have their own db handles. In reading threads, cursor and explicit transaction are used to retrieve data. In write thread, the db->put method is used to write data. In the app, the return value of put is checked to see whether success.
    After serveral days running, the app definitely lost some data(there is a thread to dump the imcomming data to disk for comparison), and the return value of put method seems all ok. Can someone point out the possible reason or how to debug this from log files or something else?
    The DBENV is opened with flags,
    DB_INIT_TXN | DB_INIT_MPOOL |
    DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG |
    DB_CREATE | DB_RECOVER |
    DB_THREAD
    The DB handle is opened with flags, DB_CREATE | DB_AUTO_COMMIT | DB_THREAD

  • Control the Post Date  when use BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC to PGI !

    Dear all,
       How can I control the Post Date (WADAT_IST) when I use BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_DEC to PGI?
    Thanks to help me.

    In ECC 6.0, I used this BAPI to perform the picking using this way:
    1. Implement enhancement point  BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CONFIRM_D01 in enhancemnt spot ES_SAPLV50I to set the update picking flag on delivery control structure.
    GS_DLV_BAPI_CONTROL-UPDATE_PICKING = 'X'
    2. Implement enhancement of standard BADI SMOD_V50B0001. Use method EXIT_SAPLV50I_004 to loop at table CT_VBPOK and update the fields VBELN and POSNN with suitable values.
    There is one problem with this solution, though.  The delivery quantity cannot be updated.  Any increase in the delivery qty ITEM_DATA-DLV_QTY actually updates the picked quantity on the delivery.  Consequently, there is little practical use of this technique.

  • SQL*Plus displays European chars incorrectly when using Net*8 to query remote DB

    I have two 8.1.5 DBs, one on Win2k and one on RedHat Linux 6.2. I can successfully insert and retreive Western European characters fine on each of those systems using SQL*Plus and Net*8, provided that I am connecting to the local DB. I can also insert these characters fine while using SQL*Plus and Net*8 between the systems.
    The failure shows up when I try to view (select) the Western European characters using SQL*Plus on the Win2k system while querying the data on the Linux system (via Net*8). What gets displayed is the 7-bit ASCII truncated-equivalent of the character. I have verified that the data is commited and can be viewed correctly when a query is issued from the Linux system.
    Has anyone encountered anything like this??
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    I am confused about your questions .
    I have two 8.1.5 DBs. I can successfully insert and retreive Western European characters fine on each of those systems using SQL*Plus and Net*8, provided that I am connecting to the local DB. What is local db ? Do you mean you need to use dblink to connect from one database to another ? Or do you mean local machines ?
    The failure shows up when I try to view (select) the Western European characters using SQL*Plus on the Win2k system while querying the data on the Linux system (via Net*8). Do you mean selecting data from the 8.1.5 DB on Linux from SQL*Plus on Win2K ?
    What are your db character sets ?
    What are your NLS_LANG enviroment settings ?
    Which datatypes are you using ? If NCHAR , what are your national database character sets ?

  • Binding data when using xml data files

    Hello,
    I am pretty new to Flex4 and hope you hang on with my question. MAny thanks:
    I built an application first with PHP connection into a database which essentially listed IP of my company in a grid.
    One could filter the IP depending of technology, type of Ip and so on.
    When clicking in the grid, the details with many more fileds would apprear. This was working niceley as I had my services defined and needed only to drag services in the right place and add here and there some changes in the code
    Now, I wanted to do the same with an xml file instead of a mySQL database so to deploy it a little easier.
    I have the grid and the filtering working nicely.
    But I cannot create the data binding for the details.
    Below is the code. See the line before last where I tested if I could access to the  descriptipn fuield in my arrayCollection (coming from my xml)
    CAn anyone help me, please
    many thanks in advance and best regards

    Hi Kevin,
    the current XML export version is admittedly not suitable for handling HTML data, as it doesn´t put any data inside CDATA sections.
    How can I strip out this HTML using the XML export?
    I´m not aware of this functionality, but I´m sure it would have to be integrated into the respective "includes" files in order to become effective.
    However, you might consider using the manual "converting database queries to XML" approach explained on this page: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/utils/query2xml.html -- this will give you notably more freedom to e.g. preprocess some data before it´s getting stuffed inside an XML node.
    I am pulling RSS feeds from news sites and storing the rss items in a database
    Would it be possible to rather sanitize the data before it´s getting stored in the database ?
    Cheers,

  • How to show all data when using more than one parameter?

    Hi All,
    I used a query like this to show the data in a report:
    select col1, col2 // col1 and col2 are columns of tabale tab1
    from tab1
    where
    tab1.col1 =
    (case when :P_COL1 IS NOT NULL then // :P_COL1 IS A USER PARAMETER TO EQUAL COL1
    :P_COL1 ELSE tab1.col1
    end)
    AND TAB1.COL3 =
    (case when :P_COL3 IS NOT NULL then // :P_COL3 IS A USER PARAMETER TO EQUAL COL3
    :P_COL3 ELSE tab1.col3
    end)
    The problem is when I run the report with paramters values or not, It shows the data which is not null for both col1 and col3.
    That is when the value of col1 or col3 is null the report would not return that record!
    I want the report to show all data not only values which is not null!
    How to do this?

    Rainer,
    That where clause will fail when col1 in the table is null and the parameter has the dummy value. Consider the following:
    variable p_col1 varchar2
    exec :p_col1 := 'yourdummyvalue';
    select
    from
         select 'yourdummyvalue' col1 from dual
         union all
         select 'other' from dual
         union all
         select null from dual
         union all
         select 'X' from dual
    ) tab1
    where nvl(tab1.col1,'yourdummyvalue') = nvl(nvl(:p_col1,tab1.col1),'yourdummyvalue')In this case, the query returns the row with null and the row with 'yourdummyvalue', where only the row with 'yourdummyvalue' should be returned.
    You must do something like this:
    where ( :p_col1 is null or ( :p_col1 = tab1.col1 ) )That one is the simplest and does not need a dummy value. Here are some other more complicated examples:
    where nvl( :p_col1, 'yourdummyvalue' ) = decode( :p_col1, null, 'yourdummyvalue', tab1.col1 )or this:
    where nvl( :p_col1, 'yourdummyvalue' ) = nvl2( :p_col1, tab1.col1, 'yourdummyvalue' )In the last 2 cases, it will not matter if the dummy value exists in the data, but they are unnecessarily complex.
    Kurz
