Round up character data?

I am a newbie in SAP.
I have a variable declared like this:
DATA y_dots(6) TYPE c.
I performed some mathematical operation on this variable and it ends up as 56.5.
So do I round up this variable so that it becomes 57 or 56?
Please help and I will reward you.
Thanks

Hi,
Just do like this,
define one local variable with type p then move your field (type c field) into this variable and display this.
sample code shows here how to do that,
DATA: data(5) TYPE c VALUE '12.60',
data1 type p.
data1 = data.
WRITE: data1, data.
it'll solve your problem.

SAX parser splits up character data; I expected Ign. whitesp

Im am working on a XML parser for loading data from some back
end systems into an Oracle 8i database. I am using the SAX
parser for this purpose. After doing some tests with larger
amounts of XML data (> 1M), I found some unexpected behaviour.
The parser sometimes splits up character data into two chunks of
data. The XML looks as follows:
<TAGNAME> this is the character data </TAGNAME>
The parser raises the following events:
1 startElement name = "TAGNAME"
2 characters chbuf = " "
3 characters chbuf = "this is the character data "
4 endElement name = "TAGNAME"
I expected an ignorableWhitespace event at step 2. The XML
document contains repetitive tagnames. The strange thing about
the parse process is that the parser splits up the character
data only sometimes, and I can't determine any kind of logica
for this behaviour. Most occurrences of exactly the same tagname
and character data are parsed correctly (that is, as I
expected).
Am I dealing with correct behaviour here, or is it a bug??

Thank you for your quick response.
In my test XML, there are about 27500 tags containing character
data. All character data starts with a whitespace character.
After parsing the xml, the whitespace of only 5 (!) tags is
treated as a seperate character event (so two character events
are raised in succession). The remaining tags all raise only ONE
character event for the entire character data. I can't explain
the difference in treatment.

Is BPEL supports writing character data into binary format ?

Hello,
I can write a BLOB data from DB to a file using Opaque feature in File Adapter.
But is it possible to write Character data into Binary or Hex Format either by using base64Binary or Hex or bytes formats supported in XML?
Thanks

Issue Migrating Character Data Using a Full Export and Import

Hi There;
I have a database in my local machine that doesn't support Turkish characters. My NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P1, It must be changed to WE8ISO8859P9 , since it supports full Turkish characters. I would like to migrate character data using a full export and import and my strategy is as follows:
1- create a full export to a location in network,
2- create a new database in local machine that it's NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P9 (I would like to change NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY by the way)
3- and implement full import to newly created database.
I 've implemented first step, but I couldn't implement the second step. I 've created the second step by using toad editor by clicking Create -> New Database but I can not connect the new database. I must connect new database in order to perform full import. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance.
Technical Details

First, if your applications run on Windows, do not use WE8ISO8859P9. Use TR8MSWIN1254.
Second, if you create a new database, the database is not necessarily immediately accessible to outer world. I do not know Toad and I have no idea if it performs all necessary steps required for the new database to be visible. For example, in the Toad itself, I assume you should create a new connection that references the new SID of the newly created database and use this new connection to connect. However, connections without a connection string use the ORACLE_SID setting in Registry to tell connecting applications which instance (database) to use. To change the database accessed with an empty connection string you need to modify Registry (unless Toad has an option to do this for you). If you want to connect without changing Registry, you need a connect string. This requires setting up Oracle Listener to serve the new database (unless default configuration is used and the database registers itself with the default listener). It also requires changing tnsnames.ora file to create an alias for the new database. Net Manager and/or Net Configuration Assistant can help you with this.
I wonder if Database Configuration Assistant would not be a better tool to create new Oracle databases.
Thanks,

Character data in a cube

Is it possible to include character data in a cube?
I would like to include some table columns which contain character data and it doesn't look like it can be done.

I mean data with a data type of char or varchar. We currently are using Business Objects to create reports that include columns of text like name, address, state, and county and I want to know if it is possible to use cubes, and bibeans, etc to recreate these reports.
The OLAP User's Guide says on page 4-9 that measures are required to be numeric or date data type. So is the only way to include data like this is include them in dimensions?

Using JDBC to update nvarchar (foreiegn character data)

We have an application that updates tables in Oracle with foreign character data. The database character set is not UTF-16 but nvarchar columns are set to be nvarchar.
The application is working correctly in our development environment (using ORAOLEDB to connect to the server with the NDATATYPE value set to true). The development env is Eclipse/Tomcat 5.5/JRE 1.4
Our production environment is Weblogic using JDBC. In this environment we cannot correctly update our database with ???? written to the database.
What can we do to fix this issue?
Tks

Mark,
I believe Kuassi Mensah has an example of this in his book.
Sorry but I don't have my copy handy now.
Just search for his threads in the forum archives: Not just this one.
Try the JDBC forum and the Oracle database JVM forum.
Basically you can load the DB2 JDBC driver into Oracle database and then use a java stored procedure to get the data.
Good Luck,
Avi.

This webservice takes input like
storenumber1;storenumner2....
item1,qty;item2,qty.
I am passing values like this to my webservice. But still I am getting the same probl

The problem doesn't seem to be related to the XI system. Have you done any configuration at receiver Webservice to convert the string data passed through XI into string array data? I think there is a mismatch in what XI sends and receiver expects.

BAPI upload character data

Hi,
I am uploading character data in a input file using the Business object BUS1088 using LSMW. I am able to generate the IDOCs but when the IDOCs are posted at the inbound, I am getting an error 51 'application document not posted'. Can someone figure this out.
Points assured.
Thanks.

Hi Raju,
Pls check the IDOC # with status 51 in Inbox through txn <b>WE05</b>. In status record display, you will find the reason for error. Probably some field could not have been determined leading the error.

Rounding for Analytical Data

Is there a function module that does Rounding for Analytical Data?
If I use function module ROUND, 1.25 becomes 1.3 and 1.35 becomes 1.4
But in analytical rounding rules, if the last digit is even round down and last digit is odd round up. So 1.25 becomes 1.2 and 1.35 becomes 1.4.

megan,
do one thing.
check the last digit of the number(dec_digit in the code snipet). (1st digit after decimal as per your rule). u can pass it to string and then use split or some other thing to get the 1st digit after decimal.
then use a if block either to floor or ceil.
gv_val = dec_digit mod 2.
if gv_val = 0.
gv_result = floor (amount).
else.
gv_result = ceil (amount)
endif.
i am not givign a executed code here as i dont have sap currently with me. but use this logic. hope this will do your job.
thanks

Query help with round up of dates

Hi,
I have a problem with my query.
I am calculating the difference between two dates and I want to get the hours.
The problem is that I want the following to happen:
if the difference is x such that x > 0 it should round it up to 1 (example: x = 0.1 it should be rounded up to 1)
if the difference is y such that y >1 it should be rounded to 1 (example y = 1.05 it should be rounded up to 2)
i have the following query at the momet:
select to_char(arrivaldate,'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss') as "ARRIVAL", to_char(departuredate,'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss') as "DEPARTURE", round(trunc(mod((departuredate-arrivaldate)*24,24),2)) as duration from stay_log;
thanks.

Hi,
Format your code so that the physical appearance of the code gives some hint as to what you're doing, as I did below.
When posting code on this forum, always type {code} tags at the beginning and end of formatted sections.
Do you mean that, instead of 21, you want to use the flightid from the main query?
If so, that's called a "correllated query". The tables in the main query (and their columns) can be reference in the sub-query, like this:
select     flightid                         as "FLIGHT",
          select     destairport_id
          from     journey,
               flight
          where     flight.flightid = stay_log.flight_id   -- correlated to main query
          and     flight.journeyid = journey.journeyid
     )                              AS "AIRPORT",
     to_char(arrivaldate,'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss')     as "ARRIVAL",
     to_char(departuredate,'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss')     as "DEPARTURE",
     ceil((departuredate-arrivaldate)*24)          as "DURATION",
     cost                              as "COST"
from     stay_log;Often, people give a table alias to the main query table that is being referenced in the sub-query, as shown below.
That's only required when the table name appears in both FROM-clauses.
select     flightid                         as "FLIGHT",
          select     destairport_id
          from     journey,
               flight
          where     flight.flightid = s.flight_id     -- table alias s used here
          and     flight.journeyid = journey.journeyid
     )                              AS "AIRPORT",
     to_char(arrivaldate,'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss')     as "ARRIVAL",
     to_char(departuredate,'DD/MM/YYYY hh24:mi:ss')     as "DEPARTURE",
     ceil((departuredate-arrivaldate)*24)          as "DURATION",
     cost                              as "COST"

No-rounding while converting data type F to Packed

Hi All,
I want to pass value of a variable of data type F to another variable of dtata type P with decimals 3.
While converting values decimals are getting rounded to next higher value.
Can any one tell me how to retain the actual values,without rounding off.
Ex. variable 1 = 25.1238567890000 (type F).
when variable 2 is assigned the value of variable 1,then it should consist of the value 25.123(instead of 25.124).
Thanks & Regards

Hi seshagiri,
it seems that the value you want to pass to (type F) is smaller than the value that you are using in your code.
Can I ask what is the actual use of the value type P? if there is processing to be done then I suggest to try to process the needed code using a common data type then until the later parts of the logic to pass it to data type P.
If the value is only to be used for display then just pass it to a variable of data type C or string to retain the decimals.

Round up character data?
