Decimals and sign display

Hi BI Experts,
We have a query that displays a restricted key figure with sign and decimal. We want to display this with negative sign in the front and with no decimal places. The data in the MultiProvider looks good with negative sign at the end and with 2 decimal places.
But in the query we are getting like
2,978,131
69,418
1282.000000000-
358820.000000000-
544.000000000-
3488.000000000-
165018.000000000-
We tried to format in query properties with sign reverse and decimal places.
The negative values are not formatted even with thousand separator and there are 9 zeros after decimal places. Positive figures are OK.
How to display in our desired format. We want to display like -3,488 and not 3488.000000000-
We are using BI 7.0 SP10
Thanks.

Hi Chritian,
I don't understand, why you wrote "It´s a pitty, that you are not able to give 10 Points to yourself ". I didn't reply to your mail to get points. I got your quesion in my mail and I shared my experience what we did in our system to solve this issue. For a work around you can do the following also. Select the column->in BEX report->click data in excel menu bar -> click Text and Columns -> select delimited radio button and click next-> check box Tab and click next - > select radio button General and click finish.
You should be able to see your data in number format. You can write a macro also and put in the Function SAPBEXonRefresh.
Thanks.

Column format with percent ( % ) sign

Is there column formatting for percent ( % ) signs?
One of the fields in the report currently displays a number, e.g. "3.75", but need to add the percent ( % ) sign, e.g. "3.75%".
I found the following:
* To display "$5,234.10", I can use "FML999G999G999G999G990D00", this formats with a dollar ( $ ) sign and two decimal places.
* To display "-5,234.10", I can use "S999G999G999G999G990D00", this formats with the sign ( + ) or ( - ) and two decimal places.
However, I fail to find how to add the percent ( % ) sign...
-Frank

Thx for this hint. The only Problem with this solution is that the ‘%’ is also shown when the value is NULL.
Has someone solved this also for NULL values where there should be nothing in the cell.
Some solution but not very nice is to do this in the query itself.
select ltrim(to_char(value, '999G999')||'%','%') from dual
another one may by
select to_char(b.COST_MATERIAL,'999G999L', 'NLS_CURRENCY = ''%''')
from budget b

Dump : COMPUTE_INT_PLUS_OVERFLOW

Hi experts,
I am getting a dump COMPUTE_INT_PLUS_OVERFLOW in a report.
its at the line: z1 = z1 + z1.
Dump says:
"Using + or 'ADD' to add the values 2060095488 and 2060095488 resulted in a
value greater than 2147483647 or samller than -2147483648. This
leads to a whole number overflow.
A temporary solution is perhaps to divide this operation up into smaller
individual operations, so that smaller sums are being dealt with."
z1 is declared as:
data: z1 like sy-dbcnt.
How should i correct this error?
I will reward all the helpful answers
Thanks,

Oracle equivalent of DB2 DIGITS function

IBM DB2 has a DIGITS SQL function that returns a character-string representation of a number, with the following properties:
The result of the function is a fixed-length character string representing the absolute value of the argument without regard to its scale. The result does not include a sign or a decimal character. Instead, it consists exclusively of digits, including, if necessary, leading zeros to fill out the string.
For example, for a NUMBER(6,2) column with value -6.28, the string '000628' is returned.
Is there an equivalent SQL function available in Oracle 10g? Or if there's no equivalent, how can this be done in Oracle 10g?

So, looks like behavior of DIGITS function depends not only on the value of the parameter passed, but also on the datatype of the actual parameter (implicitly derived from the datatype of the column name being passed).
In other words, you can not simply call DIGITS (-6.18) because the result could be different for different precision/scale combinations:
NUMBER(6,2) -> 000618
NUMBER(3,2) -> 618
NUMBER(6,3) -> 006180
I don't think Oracle has a mechanism of accessing the datatype of the actual argument from within the function (?)
So, you would need to pass the precision and scale of the argument datatype separately:
create or replace function digits (n number, precision number, scale number) return varchar2 as
begin
return lpad (abs(n)*power(10,scale),precision, '0');
end;
SQL> select digits (-6.18, 6, 3) from dual;
006180
SQL> select digits (-6.18, 3,2) from dual;
618
SQL> select digits (-6.18, 6,2) from dual;
000618
To replace DIGITS in your DB2 code, you would need to build a conversion that would look up the precision and scale of the column for each call and substitute them into the call accordingly.

Type P

Hi Folks,
I had declared a field kursf as kursf like rbkp-kursf.
When I pass a value of 10000.0000, it is giving me a short dump of saying overflow and the field is too short.
When I declare the field kursf as kursf type p decimals 5 and pass a value of 10000.0000 it is working fine.
Can anyone here let me know what is the difference if we declare a field as type p?
Thanks,
K.Kiran.

The valid length for packed numbers is between 1 and 16 bytes; two decimal places are packed into one byte, whereby the last byte only contains one place and the plus/minus sign; after the decimal separator, up to 14 decimal places are permitted. Depending on the field length len and the number of decimal places dec, the following applies for the value area: (-10(2len -1) +1) / (10(dec)) to (10(2len -1) -1) /(10(+dec)) in steps of 10^(-dec). Values in between this range are rounded off.
fractional portion
Fractional portions contain the fractional part of a number and are noted independent of the number system to the right of the separator. These are the decimal places (for decimal numbers) that come after the decimal separator.

Problem with offset value: field type p does not permit subfield access

Hi experts,
In my table am having one field ,
Filed name : planfinish
data type : dec    Length : 15
data store in this field is :    12.05.2010 03:59:00 this format.
i want to remove year 2010 from this above data by using offset.
i have try with code :   lv_year = lv_planfininsh+6(4).      n also declare lv_year as dec 15.
still am getting error. field type p does not permit subfield access
kindly suggest on this.
thx in advance.

a packed decimal field (P) is a numeric field that is always 8 bytes long. The (15) is the DISPLAY or max number of digits characteristic. Like all true numeric types (not 'N'), offset is meaningless and you do NOT have format 12.05.2010 03:59:00 in a P field! You have 15 digits and a sign, and any decimal point is implied by your data declaration.
Look at keyword CONVERT if this is a timestamp field.

Perldoc under Mac OS 10.6.1

Hello, Guys
I am trying to use perldoc to read some doc of perl function on my mac. However no matter which function name I put after perldoc on Terminal, I got No documentation found for "perlfunc".
Should I install the perl docs by myself or I am missing something here?
Thanks

sprintf FORMAT, LIST
Returns a string formatted by the usual "printf" conventions of
the C library function "sprintf". See below for more details
and see sprintf(3) or printf(3) on your system for an
explanation of the general principles.
For example:
# Format number with up to 8 leading zeroes
$result = sprintf("%08d", $number);
# Round number to 3 digits after decimal point
$rounded = sprintf("%.3f", $number);
Perl does its own "sprintf" formatting‐‐it emulates the C
function "sprintf", but it doesn’t use it (except for floating‐
point numbers, and even then only the standard modifiers are
allowed). As a result, any non‐standard extensions in your
local "sprintf" are not available from Perl.
Unlike "printf", "sprintf" does not do what you probably mean
when you pass it an array as your first argument. The array is
given scalar context, and instead of using the 0th element of
the array as the format, Perl will use the count of elements in
the array as the format, which is almost never useful.
Perl’s "sprintf" permits the following universally‐known
conversions:
%% a percent sign
%c a character with the given number
%s a string
%d a signed integer, in decimal
%u an unsigned integer, in decimal
%o an unsigned integer, in octal
%x an unsigned integer, in hexadecimal
%e a floating−point number, in scientific notation
%f a floating−point number, in fixed decimal notation
%g a floating−point number, in %e or %f notation
In addition, Perl permits the following widely‐supported
conversions:
%X like %x, but using upper−case letters
%E like %e, but using an upper−case "E"
%G like %g, but with an upper−case "E" (if applicable)
-=-=-=-
Check your version and confirm your install is typical.

Field Cutting Off Numbers

I am having trouble with a field cutting off most of a number when 0.00 is present. The field is named FL025, and pulls information from an outside source. It is right-justified with a 10 digit character limit. It is formatted as a number. This exact same field on other forms works perfectly. I cannot figure out why it keeps cutting off most part of the number on this one. It isn't the field size, no matter how big I make the field, it still cuts off the numbers and half a zero is all that shows, or perhaps it's a parenthesis. I'm not sure. See clip below.

We are trying to help you find the problem. There maybe some issue with the format you selected. The suggested change is for testing and observation only. This is part of the debugging process. You could also use JavaScript to examine the field, but I do not think you can do that.
Normally the parenthesis do not display for zero unless the value is a negative number smaller than the amount the field is formatted to display and it is possible to enter a digit with more than 10 digits especially for decimal values.
An image does not provide much information. Many computer programs have data in a different format than what is displayed.
Can you post a link to a sample form with the data?
If the data supplied is formatted with currency symbols and a thousand separator the 'Number:" format will not display it properly. The number format only accepts the numeric digits, a leading sign, and a decimal point. The decimal [point might also need to be the "." and not ",". If it is a "," there maybe a script in the other forms that make the correction when the outside source is quired.
What version of Acrobat are you using? Database access has been removed for Acrobat forms but remains for LiveCycle forms.
Is the form being populated by a direct data connection or through some other software?

Data typs

hi
dEFINE
C,P,F,X,N,I DATA TYPES
GIVE ME EXP. ALSO

U can check this
<b>ABAP/4 Data Types</b>
There are two main categories of data in ABAP/4: character and numeric. Variables receive special treatment by the ABAP/4 processor based on their category that goes beyond the usual treatment given by other languages. Therefore, it is especially important for you to be able to recognize and distinguish between the character and numeric data types.
Character Data Types
The character data types are shown in Table 7.2. Notice that they include type n. Internal lengths are given in bytes. A dash in the Max length column appears for fixed length data types.
Table 7.2 List of Character Data Types
Data
Type Internal
Description Default
Internal
Length Max
Internal
Length
Valid
Values Default
Initial
Value
c character 1 65535 Any char Blank
n numeric text 1 65535 0-9 0
d date 8 (fixed) - 0-9 00000000
t time 6 (fixed) - 0-9 000000
x hexadecimal 1 65535 Any
The Default Initial Value column indicates the value given to the variable by default if you do not specify one using the value addition.
Internal Representation of Variables
Numeric text variables are called numeric character variables and hold unsigned positive integers. Each digit occupies one byte, and internally each is stored as a character. This is a character data type. It can only contain the characters 0-9.
Use numeric text to hold numbers that are used as unique identifiers, such as document numbers, account numbers, and order numbers. Also, use it for variables that hold a numeric extracted from a character data type. For example, if you were to extract the two-character month from a date field and needed a variable to store it, you should use a type n field.
Date and time are fixed length data types. You should not specify a length on the data statement for them. Values for date and time variables are always stored internally as YYYYMMDD and HHMMSS, respectively. The current date is available in the system field sy-datum and the current time in sy-uzeit.
NOTE
The values of sy-datum and sy-uzeit are set at the beginning of program execution and do not change until the program ends. If you need access to the most current date and time during execution of a long-running pro-gram, use the statement get time. It updates the values of sy-datum and sy-uzeit to reflect the current date and time.
Absolute time values that have millisecond precision are not used in R/3. However, relative time values are available to millisecond precision. To obtain these, use the get run time statement and store them using data type i. See the chapter on runtime analysis for more details.
Numeric Data Types
The numeric data types are shown in Table 7.3. A dash in the Max Length column indicates the length cannot be changed. An asterisk indicates the attribute is machine-dependent.
Table 7.3 Numeric Data Types
Data
Type
Description Default
Internal
Length
Max
Length

Decimals
Valid
Values Default
Initial
Value
i integer 4(fixed) - 0 -231 to +231 0
p packed decimal 8 16 14 0-9 . 0
f floating-point 8 8 15* -1E-307 to 1E308 0.0
All of the variables in Table 7.3 are signed. In floating-point variables, the exponent is also signed.
Use integers for variables that will be involved in simple computations or when no decimal points are required. Variables such as counters, indexes, positions, or offsets are good examples.
A decimal variable stores (L*2)-1 digits, where L is the length of the variable in bytes. Decimal values are stored two digits per byte, except the end byte, which contains a single digit and a sign. The decimal point itself is not stored; it is an attribute of the definition. For example, data f1(4) type p defines a variable f1 that is four bytes long and can hold seven digits (plus a sign), as shown in Figure 7.2. data f2(3) type p decimals 2 defines a variable f2 that is three bytes long and can hold five digits (plus a sign). The definition data f3 type p defines a variable f3 capable of holding 15 digits because the default length for type p is 8.
Refer this link for the above and some sample programs

To mutilpy decimal value with negative sign .

Hi ,
I have a decimal value 500.00 and need to multiply it with -1 .
the result however is 500- . I have made some manipulation to get that sign in front ...now it is -500 , but however Iam losing the decimals. Need the value to be -500.00 . Plz Help
Regards,
Sunitha

Try as :
data : v_c type p decimals 2 value '500.00'.
data : v_sign(20).
v_c = v_c * -1.
v_sign = v_c.
concatenate '-' v_sign into v_sign.
condense v_sign .
write :/ v_sign .
