Trailing Zeroes in Table

Why does Pages REMOVE trailing zeroes in a table? I type 467.6750 and tab to the next cell, and Pages DELETES that ending zero.
Where can I change that?
Many thanks.

clint,
My guess is that Pages "corrects" the trailing zero because it deems it unnecessary. You can fix it by selecting your table, then clicking on the Table inspector > Format > Cell Format > Text. Assuming you're not using your table to create formulas, treating the numbers as text shouldn't be a problem.

How to delete trailing zeros from a quantity field to display in ALV?

Hi there,
i am retrieving the field LGMNG from LIPS table, which is of type QUAN(13). All LGMNG values there are stored as
1,000
20,000
50,000 etc.
But i want my values to be displayed as
1
20
50 etc.
i have tried the " shift v_variable right deleting trailing '0'" but it does not work.
also, if the value of LIPS_LGMNG = 0,000, i need those columns in ALV empty(that is no zeros or comma displayed)
can anyone please help?
Thanks a lot,
Mee

hi,
use this it will solve your problem, just write down this on your Fieldcatalog.
   WA_FIELDCATALOG-FIELDNAME = 'VALUE7'.
   WA_FIELDCATALOG-SELTEXT_L = 'Contribution EE(due)'.
WA_FIELDCATALOG-DATATYPE = 'INT2'.           " it will remove trailing zero
WA_FIELDCATALOG-DECIMALS_OUT = 0.
   APPEND WA_FIELDCATALOG TO IT_FIELDCATALOG.
   CLEAR WA_FIELDCATALOG.

How can i retain the trailing zeroes after decimal

how can i retain the trailling zeros after decimal?
values are showing in table like( 4.50,5.00) but i am trying to do some processing with these values then ithe zeroes are truncated like (4.5,5),
how can i get values with zeroes

If the values in the table have trailing zeroes, it's a character type column.
Once you perform operations on them, they're implicitely converted to the number type, hence "losing" trailing zeroes.
To get the trailing zeroes back, you have to convert them back to character data:
TO_CHAR(1.5*3, '90d99')Have fun,

I am facing the issue when I have VARCHAR2 column say Company in stocks table with value as 0000234. When I get the data Excel
sheet I can only see 234
for company name. I want to preserve the trailing zeros while getting the output in Excel sheet.
I have tried with adding single quote (') please see the commented part in the above code, but it will give me output in company
column in excel '0000234' which i don't want.
Is there any way I can make this work and only get 0000234 as company name in Excel.
Thanks for reading the post..

Yes, that should be a client (excel, or open office in my case) issue.
I stole some code from http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:95212348059 to test this out.
Adding a single quote to the beginning of the string worked fine with my version of Open Office, should work for your Excel as well.

How to delete Trailing zeros in a string array

I am reading data from RS232 port and storing the values in an array of 16 nos. Then converting the array of numbers into string using 'number to fractional string" function with precession 2 and sending the data string to Table. I am printing this table further for report generation.
I am unable to remove the trailing zeros as i am defining precession 2 which is not needed for all the numbers in the table.
Please help me how to remove the trailing zeros after decimal point which is very much necessary for report generation.

Retain trailing zero's after decimal

Hi,
i have a requirement to retain trailing zero's after decimal....
is it possible?
version: 9.2.0.7
example: select 150.200 from dual;
we will get 150.2 as output.
but i need 150.200 as the output...
how would i do this?

Hi tony,
sorry, that is not the constant value...that is a variable based on the value, what user enters with the decimals.......if i understood you correctly,
it seems like you will need to use char or varchar2 datatypes in that table to start doing what you would like to do in the way you wan't it.
and still you have option to apply to_number and to_char on that varchar2 column.

SHIFT V_CHAR RIGHT DELETING TRAILING '0'.
WRITE : V_CHAR ."NO-ZERO.
<u><b>Output:</b></u>
if we pass the value '1.3000000000000000E+01' it should be 13.0
ex2: '1.3400000000000000E+01' it should be 13.4
ex3:'4.8240000000000000E+03' it should be 4824
is there any way to get the solution without functional module. If so Please tell me with code.

hi
u can do it in number of ways.
Use TCODE SU3
Select default tab and select radio button 123467.89 in decimal notation and save it.
or u can try :
if you want to do this through ABAP program.
1. to delete trailing spaces.
SHIFT <V_VARIABLE> RIGHT DELETING TRAILING '0'.
to delete leading zeroes,
SHIFT <VARIABLE_NAME> LEFT DELETING LEADING '0'.
only for one abap program, u can use set country command
for all programs :
sap menu>system->go to user profil->own data>default --> and choose ur format.
hope this helps u.

Export to excel truncates trailing zeros

When we try to export to excel trailing zeros are truncated like this:
In report on BIEE dashboar:
Product----Amount
Product A 327,876
Product B 4,000
Product C 1,278
In the exported excel spreadsheet:
Product A 327,876
Product B 4
Product C 1,278
Any ideas for a solution?

well it is because excel thinks the the comma is a decimal seperator in stead of a thousands seperator.
So check your operating system properties and your excel properties.

IHow to force display of trailing zeros for fixed point numbers?

I have an 8 bit unsigned fixed point number, with 7 integer bits and 1 fractional bit, so the desired delta is 0.5. I want it to always display the fractional bit, even when that bit is 0. In other words, as this number is incremented, I want to see:
0.0
0.5
1.0
1.5
etc.
But instead I'm seeing:
0
0.5
1
1.5
etc.
I set the display format to Floating point, with 1 digit of precision. The "Hide trailing zeros" checkbox is NOT checked. What am I doing wrong?
I realize I could convert to single precision for display purposes to make this happen, but I'd rather make this work with fixed point.
Thanks,
-Ron

I just rustled up a VI with what I understand your input to be - unsigned 7 bit mantissa and 1 bit exponent input, and have it displaying 2 decimal places.... Is this what you're after or did I miss it?

Simple transformation dropping trailing zero.

Hi experts.
I am having a problem with my transformation file, and I was hoping someone could help me.
I have created a simple transformation file, with a variable using the type of "DMBTR" which Does have 2 decimal points.
IF I have data - the two decimal points print.
EG if the amount is 100.57..    I get the 100.57 to print which is what I need and expect.
BUT.
IF the amount is 100.50    I am getting 100.5    Is is dropping the final zero amount, and therefore is failing in the validation.
HOW can I FORCE the two decimal points to print?
I have even tried it where I declare it as a variable of type "I" with 2 decimal points, and it still does not work.
I can not figure out how to use the Number format   option with a Value-ref print line.
If someone could help me with that.. I could try that to see if it worked.
thank you.
eg: of the way the data is declared:
<tt:type name="GRTOT14" type="I" length="13" decimals="2"/>
OR
<tt:type name="GRTOT16" type="ddic:DMBTR"/>
<tt:type name="GRTOT17" type="ddic:DMBTR"/>
eg: of the way I am using it where I am getting only one decimal place if the 2nd decimal place is ZERO
             <tot_grnt_sbsdy_amt tt:value-ref=".GRTOT14"/>
               <tot_insu_prcd_amt tt:value-ref=".GRTOT16"/>
              <tot_opay_rcap_amt tt:value-ref=".GRTOT17"/>
PLEASE HELP.
thank you.

From what I understand about XML (could be more), the canonical representation of decimal values does not allow a fixed number of decimal places.
SAP documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/52/491a40251e2402e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
from there, this XML documentation is referenced:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#decimal
important bit:
Leading and trailing zeroes are prohibited subject to the following: there must be at least one digit to the right and to the left of the decimal point which may be a zero.
You already discarded my workaround: using a character or string type field and fill it to your liking prior to serialisation.

Removing Leading And trailing Zeros

Hi Guys ,
Can You help me out in UDF for removing leading and Trailing zeros
Ex : 0123.234000000
And it must satisfy below conditions .
1 ) If value as Null we need 0.0 in target
2) if the value is 0.0 we need 0.0 in target
Thanks in Advance

One more option:
Input will be "str" of type string.
Execution type: single value.
mapping:
Input -> mapwithdefault(0.0)->UDF->output
if( !str.equals("0.0"))
char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
for (int index=0; index < str.length();index++)
if (chars[index] != '0')
str =str.substring(index);
break;
int length,index1 ;
char[] chars1 = str.toCharArray();
length = str.length();
index1 = length -1;
for (int in1=index1-1; in1>0;in1--)
if (chars1[in1] != '0')
str=str.substring(0,in1+1);
break;
return str;
else
return "0.0";
