String substitutions in format fields

It's dawning on me that if the owner of the app I'm working on ever decides that all currency fields should display 2 decimal places instead of rounding to the nearest dollar, it's going to be a lot of work to go through all the currency fields in the reports and tack on the "D00" to the "Number / Date Format" column attributes. Is there a way to implement that attribute so that I can change a value in a central location and have it affect all my currency fields?
For example, I tried creating a substitution string #CURRENCY_FORMAT# with a value of "FML999G999G999G999G990" and then entering #CURRENCY_FORMAT# as the value for the column format attribute, hoping that it would substitute the format string, but it didn't work. Is there something like that I can do?

Ian,
I think you may be confusing the syntax.
To use an item substitution for the format mask of an item, you would specify &CURRENCY_FORMAT. (inclusive of the trailing period).
This way, you can then define CURRENCY_FORMAT as an application level substitution string or even an application item if you wish (I always use application level substitution string).

Convert a String to Decimal Format in European format

Hi Experts,
I am having a string as a context type for a input field, where the user can enter the Price, I need to convert the same into European format "###.###,00", I am using this below code to convert the string to decimal format
User will enter the input as 10 as it needs to be converted into 10,00. Also, 1000 which has to be converted as 1.000,00
String Str1 = wdContext.currentvn_temptable.getVa_TempUnitPrice();
Locale mylocale = Locale.GERMAN;
String pattern="###.###,00";
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(mylocale);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output = df.format(Str1);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Unit Price" + " " + pattern + " " + output);
When I execute the above code, i am getting an error called "Malformed Pattern ###.###,00"
Please let me know, how to convert a String to Quantity in European format
Thanks & Regards,
Palani

Hello!
Try to change your pattern to this one
Locale mylocale = Locale.GERMAN;
String pattern = "#,#00.00";
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(mylocale);
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
df.applyPattern(pattern);
String output = df.format(1111111.222);
Pattern has an influence on number of digits between separators, but you have to use ',' for grouping and '.' for decimal. Character values for separators correspond to your Locale object.
Thanks, Mikhail

EBS with MT940 format field 86 structure - the details of remitter

Dear Sap guru,
I am starting configuration for EBS with MT940 format field 86 structured. I have got the format from Deutsche bank.
My problem is how to configure a search string to search within field 86 for Bank code of remitter (?30) and account number of remitter (?31). The search string appears to search the details of payment information (?20Bis?29) only.
Could any of you provide your expertise on this so that EBS will pick up the remitter information ?
Kind regards
taro

The field ?30 is stored in FEBEP-PABLZ.
When the field ?31 contains an IBAN, it is stored in FEBEP-PIBAN (and the corresponding BBAN is stored in FEBEP-PAKTO); in the other cases it is stored in FEBEP-PAKTO.
You should use these fields in a user exit.
(Source: program RFEKA400:)
      WHEN '30'.

        MOVE HEAD_2 TO XFEBEP-PABLZ.

Format Fields in Cross Tab and Calculated Members

Hello:
I have a cross Tab with a calculated member, I need to display one decimal or no decimal in some of the columns so I created a formula in the Display String option like this:
if GridRowColumnValue ("@TestID_desc")= "ALK mg/L
then
Cstr(CurrentFieldValue, "0")
else
Cstr(CurrentFieldValue, "0.0")
But, after I saved the formula the value in the calculated member colums disappears. Any ideas? Thank You in advance!

right click on calculated field and go to format field and in number tab select customize button and write the condition for decimals.

Raghavendra

String Conversion into Quantity field ----------Sales Orders

Hi Experts,
Can any of you give an standard function module or conversion routine for String conversion to Quantity field.
The problem is I pass on 5 value as a string and while the system creates any sales orders, now in the quantity filed
it shows me as 0.005 and for value 7 it gives me as 0.007.
So, Now I want a conversion in such a way that if I pass 5 then the system should 5.000 and if I pass 10 it should show
as 10.00 likewise for 100 or above also.
Thank you,
KishoreJ.

Converting String to datetime format

I have a String which is in 04-DEC-78 format, I want it to be inserted in to a field in sql database.If I map directly I am getting
"Microsoft.ServiceModel.Channels.Common.XmlReaderParsingException: The input data for the field/parameter "e_date" is invalid according to the expected SqlDbType DateTime. ---> System.FormatException: The string '04-DEC-65' is not a valid
AllXsd value.
Tried to convert the string to datetime format in Mapping but getting error
public DateTime FormatCheck(string param1)
IFormatProvider culture = new CultureInfo("en-US", true);
return DateTime.ParseExact(param1, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff", culture);
Inline Script Error: The type or namespace name 'CultureInfo' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Help me out!!

HOLD ON!
Let's try to clear this up. If the input data is "04-DEC-78" then, sorry, none of the code posted so far will work.
"04-DEC-78" is not directly parsable so the .ParseExact format must match the source.
The format for xs:datetime is ISO 8601 which is like yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss-[offset]. Internally the sqlBinding will cast the XsdDateTime (the .Net xs:datetime implementation) to a SqlDateTime.
One very, very important missing detail is the type of the SQL parameter. Is it (SQL) datetime or string?
If the SQL parameter is datetime, then you can use this:
public string FormatCheck(string param1)
return DateTime.ParseExact(param1, "dd-MMM-yy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString("s");

String Substitutions with PL/SQL Function

Hello, i user APEX 4.2.1.00.08 in Database 11g
I new in apex and a try to use String Substitutions.
When I define a String like CONST with static value like '999' in Edit Applications Definition it's work fine.
But I need to define the same String 'CONST' but with value to return from PL/SQL function like.. Package.function
It's Possible ??
Thanks !!

No, you'll need to use application items instead - or pass the value as parameter to your function.
Passing parameters like this makes for good practice anyway, since your modules become more testable outside the apex environment, and more robust.

String substitution on Weblogic

Hi experts.
As you know, the WLS domain template provides the string substitution mechanism.
(startscript.xml and stringsubs.xml)
Here you should specify your entries that will be processed during the template applying.
After being applied, these entries are "registered" in DOMAIN_HOME/init-info/ startscript.xml and startscript-unsub.xml
Can these strsubs tasks be modified later?
1) Is there any UI (or WLST functions) available for strsubs modification?
Sure, I can edit xml files, but I think that it is not the convinient (and graceful) way to do it.
2) As there is the startscript-unsub.xml file,
does it mean that these string substitutions can be rolled back later?
If yes - then how can it be done?
Thanks

There is currently no mechanism to perform string substitution after the config.xml has been created.

Possible to rename popup strings upon changing `Chapter` field in `Composition Marker` dialog?

Hi There,
I am in need to dynamically change the values inside a popup upon a user changing the value of the `Chapter` field within the `Composition Marker` dialog. I realize that we cannot add new string values to a popup at runtime, but I read a thread in this forum, and in the `Supervisor` example in the SDK, that it is possible to rename them. However, it seems like the event for making the changes to those values is triggered by a user changing values in the parameter set of the plugin itself.
So my idea is to populate a popup param with 20 strings--for example, 1, 2, 3, . . . 20. Then when a user enters in a string within the `Chapter` field in a `Composition Marker` dialog, it updates the popup list to show the user entered string. Is this possible? I know I can access the string in the `Chapter` field via javascript ExtendScript. Can I do it within C++ code?
Thanks for your time and help!

to get the marker string you should use AEGP_GetMarkerString() with AEGP_MarkerString_CHAPTER. as for changing the popup values, by looking at the thread you pointed out, it seems it's possible to change the popup names at any time, and not during a specific code. the entire accessing of the popup data in that example was done using AEGP calls, which should not be affected by the calling time. (except for rare cases) never tried it myself. can vouch for my advice here. since popup param's amount of entries can't be changed dynamically (to the best of my knowledge), you can create 30 (or any other number) of hidden popup params, starting with 1 entry and ending with 30 entries in it, and make only the param that fits your purposes best at that moment - visible.

String into date format

Hi
I was wondering if anyone knew how to convert a string into different formats,
to enable it to be stored in a mysql db.
I was wondering anyone you knew how to convert:
- String into the date format yyyy-mm--dd
- String into time format 00:00:00
- string to double
Ive tried:
c_date = java.sql.Date.valueOf(f_date);
System.out.println("conversion data: " +c_date);
c_time = java.sql.Time.valueOf(f_time);
System.out.println(" time converted data: "+c_time);
// string to double conversion
c_change = java.lang.Double.valueOf(f_change);
System.out.println(c_change);
My class doesnt execute this at all?
Also,
SimpleDateFormat sdft = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
c_date = sdft.format(f_date);
System.out.println(c_date);
.. but this method returns the error incompatible types?
Any suggestions would be helpful.. thanks in advance..
