Usage of NOT having Fixed Point Arithmetic?

Hello!
SAP recommends to always do programs with Fixed Point Arithmetic attribute checked. Please don't explain here what is Fixed Point Arithmetic - I know this and it's is not my question.
The question is: why do we have it at all? Why aren't all programs simply fixed-point-arithmetic without attribute to activate or deactivate this?
I suppose that there are situations which require Fixed Point Arithmetic NOT being set, but I can't imagine any. Could anyone offer an explanation?
Thanks in advance!

No replies - I'll try to bring the question to your attention once again:
Please, does anybody know the purpose of NOT having Fixed Point Arithmetic?

Please check if this helps u
This attribute defines, whether for numerical data objects of data type p (packed numbers) is the decimal point is relevant in calculations or assignments or if it is omitted. Normally, this attribute is always switched on and you might ask, why it can be switched off at all. Well, in very ancient times packed numbers had no real decimal point. It was taken into account only for presentation purposes. In order to stay downward compatible, for the introduction of fixed point arithmetic this switch was needed. In fact there are still programs that switch fixed point arithmetic off ¨C for example financial programs that calculate on the basis of cents instead of dollars.

Need arithmetic operation result in Fixed point arithmetic disabled prg

Hi,
I am writing an enhancement which is in standard SAP program which is not enabled for 'Fixed arithmetic' calculations.
I need to do some actual arithmetic operation involving packed numbers in my enhancement.
Say
p1 = '2.00'
p2 = '12.00'.
result = p1 * p2.
result coming is 2400.00. This is because Fixed point arithmetic is disabled in standard program.
I need a result of 24.00 . Is there any solution to this apart from dividing it with 100?
Regards,
Dhana

based on P1 and P2 values you need to divide the value with 100 or 1000 as per the number of decimals on P1 and P2

Division without Fixed Point Arithmetic

Hello,
     I am trying to divide 1 by a decimal, i.e. 1 / 7.75027, in Include RV63A900 of Function Group V61A. Since the ' Fixed Point Arithmetic' checkbox is not checked, I am unable to get this calculation to work.
     I have tried different scenarios of using a floating point field to receive the quotient but nothing has worked.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Chris Mowl

I use floating variable some thing like this :
data: v_f TYPE f,
         v_c TYPE char12.
      v_f = ( wa_komp_o-netwr / o_komp-mglme ).
* Due to decimal issues had to use Floating point value
* for calculation of condition base value
      CALL FUNCTION 'FLTP_CHAR_CONVERSION'
        EXPORTING
          decim = 5
          input = v_f
        IMPORTING
          flstr = v_c.
      v_amount = v_c * 10.

User Exit Fixed Point Arithmetic

Dear all,
I have developed some code on the user exit RV61AFZB and tried to change the value on the xkomv-kbetr. But, i found that the division result is wrong.
Example:
DATA: temp like xkomv-kbetr,
           c_test LIKE xkomv-kbetr VALUE '152000.00',
           c_qty like xkomv-kbetr value '3.00'.
   temp = c_test / c_qty.
The value of temp became 506.67. Since, this is a user exit and i can't change program attribute "Fixed Point Arithmetic" .
Regards,
Kit

Hello
Try this:
DATA: temp like xkomv-kbetr,
           c_test LIKE xkomv-kbetr VALUE '152000.00',
           c_qty like xkomv-kbetr value '3.00'.
data: temp1 type i.
   temp = c_test / c_qty.
   temp1 = temp.

Inline functions in C, gcc optimization and floating point arithmetic issues

For several days I really have become a fan of Alchemy. But after intensive testing I have found several issues which I'd like to solve but I can't without any help.
So...I'm porting an old game console emulator written by me in ANSI C. The code is working on both gcc and VisualStudio without any modification or crosscompile macros. The only platform code is the audio and video output which is out of scope, because I have ported audio and video witin AS3.
Here are the issues:
1. Inline functions - Having only a single inline function makes the code working incorrectly (although not crashing) even if any optimization is enabled or not (-O0 or O3). My current workarround is converting the inline functions to macros which achieves the same effect. Any ideas why inline functions break the code?
2. Compiler optimizations - well, my project consists of many C files one of which is called flash.c and it contains the main and exported functions. I build the project as follows:
gcc -c flash.c -O0 -o flash.o     //Please note the -O0 option!!!
gcc -c file1.c -O3 -o file1.o
gcc -c file2.c -O3 -o file2.o
... and so on
gcc *.o -swc -O0 -o emu.swc   //Please note the -O0 option again!!!
mxmlc.exe -library-path+=emu.swc --target-player=10.0.0 Emu.as
or file in $( ls *.o ) //Removes the obj files
    do
        rm $file
    done
If I define any option different from -O0 in gcc -c flash.c -O0 -o flash.o the program stops working correctly exactly as in the inline funtions code (but still does not crash or prints any errors in debug). flash has 4 static functions to be exported to AS3 and the main function. Do you know why?
If I define any option different from -O0 in gcc *.o -swc -O0 -o emu.swc the program stops working correctly exactly as above, but if I specify -O1, -O2 or O3 the SWC file gets smaller up to 2x for O3. Why? Is there a method to optimize all the obj files except flash.o because I suspect a similar issue as when compilling it?
3. Flating point issues - this is the worst one. My code is mainly based on integer arithmetic but on 1-2 places it requires flating point arithmetic. One of them is the conversion of 16-bit 44.1 Khz sound buffer to a float buffer with same sample rate but with samples in the range from -1.0 to 1.0.
My code:
void audio_prepare_as()
    uint32 i;
    for(i=0;i<audioSamples;i+=2)
        audiobuffer[i] = (float)snd.buffer[i]/32768;
        audiobuffer[i+1] = (float)snd.buffer[i+1]/32768;
My audio playback is working perfectly. But not if using the above conversion and I have inspected the float numbers - all incorrect and invalid. I tried other code with simple floats - same story. As if alchemy refuses to work with floats. What is wrong? I have another lace whre I must resize the framebuffer and there I have a float involved - same crap. Please help me?
Found the floating point problem: audiobuffer is written to a ByteArray and then used in AS. But C floats are obviously not the same as those in AS3. Now the floating point is resolved.
The optimization issues remain! I really need to speed up my code.
Thank you in advice!

Dear Bernd,
I am still unable to run the optimizations and turn on the inline functions. None of the inline functions contain any stdli function just pure asignments, reads, simple arithmetic and bitwise operations.
In fact, the file containing the main function and those functions for export in AS3 did have memset and memcpy. I tried your suggestion and put the code above the functions calling memset and memcpy. It did not work soe I put the code in a header which is included topmost in each C file. The only system header I use is malloc.h and it is included topmost. In other C file I use pow, sin and log10 from math.h but I removed it and made the same thing:
//shared.h
#ifndef _SHARED_H_
#define _SHARED_H_
#include <malloc.h>
static void * custom_memmove( void * destination, const void * source, unsigned int num ) {
void *result;
__asm__("%0 memmove(%1, %2, %3)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(destination), "r"(source), "r"(num));
return result;
static void * custom_memcpy ( void * destination, const void * source, unsigned int num ) {
void *result;
__asm__("%0 memcpy(%1, %2, %3)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(destination), "r"(source), "r"(num));
return result;
static void * custom_memset ( void * ptr, int value, unsigned int num ) {
void *result;
__asm__("%0 memset(%1, %2, %3)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(ptr), "r"(value), "r"(num));
return result;
static float custom_pow(float x, int y) {
    float result;
__asm__("%0 pow(%1, %2)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(x), "r"(y));
return result;
static double custom_sin(double x) {
    double result;
__asm__("%0 sin(%1)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(x));
return result;
static double custom_log10(double x) {
    double result;
__asm__("%0 log10(%1)\n" : "=r"(result) : "r"(x));
return result;
#define memmove custom_memmove

#define memset custom_memset

It still behave the same way as if nothing was changed (works incorrectly - displays jerk which does not move, whereby the image is supposed to move)
As I am porting an emulator (Sega Mega Drive) I use manu arrays of function pointers for implementing the opcodes of the CPU's. Could this be an issue?
I did a workaround for the floating point problem but processing is very slow so I hear only bzzt bzzt but this is for now out of scope. The emulator compiled with gcc runs at 300 fps on a 1.3 GHz machine, whereby my non optimized AVM2 code compiled by alchemy produces 14 fps. The pure rendering is super fast and the problem lies in the computational power of AVM. The frame buffer and the enulation are generated in the C code and only the pixels are copied to AS3, where they are plotted in a BitmapData. On 2.0 GHz Dual core I achieved only 21 fps. Goal is 60 fps to have smooth audio and video. But this is offtopic. After all everything works (slow) without optimization, and I would somehow turn it on. Suggestions?

OBIEE 11g - Usage Tracking Not Working

Dear All,
I have enabled the usage Tracking in OBIEE 11g by using Setting up Usage Tracking in Oracle BI 11g guide.
Still i am getting the following error
Usage Tracking not started due to non-existent Usage Tracking table "12-Usage Tracking"."Usage Tracking Schema"."S_NQ_ACCT".
In my RPD,
Database Name : "12-Usage Tracking"
Physical Schema Name : "Usage Tracking Schema"

This table reside under BIPLATFORM Schema in Oracle.
I have followed the steps mentioned in the Document, still unable to find why getting such error. Please point out if any mistake exists.
Please advice.

Hi,
Good for you.
Maybe you can post the solution and how you solved your issue to help other users having the same problem and then close the thread (currently it's still This question is Not Answered.)

SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis. For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis. I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...". I choose moving average. I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period". The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5). When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users. At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart. Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
Thank you,
Dan

I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
<ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
<Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
</ChartFormulaParameter>
What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
A side note:
If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

A user, ChesPlay, suggested that I install FrameWork Service Pack 10 from the Oracle MetaLink site. *(ChesPlay...thanks for your help!)*
I completed the install yesterday, but still get the same error.
First, I verified that I had already installed the Prerequisite Single Fixes 7195518. 7012092, 7284592 per SP10 install instructions.
Second, I installed the Prerequisite Single Fix 10124173 before installing Service Pack 10.

I am headed to MetaLink now for further research on the "Did not find EXT_REFERENCE_ID pointed to by field C1_EXT_REFERENCE_ID" message to see what else I might need to install. I'll update this thread if/when I figure out the problem.
Chesplay if you have another idea, or believe that there is a seperate DB SP1 on MetaLink, please advise. I was not able to find a seperate DB SP1 on MetaLink today. Thanks!

For me even the issue was solved when i apply the db portion of patch 7009370. But when i log in to the application i could see ablank pages, the menus were not loading up and i was getting error:

To overcome the above issue i applied the db portion of the patch 8608149 by following below steps:
1.
DELETE FROM CI_UT_INSTL WHERE SR_NO LIKE '8608149%';
DELETE FROM CI_UT_INSTL_DTL WHERE SCRIPT_FILE_NAME LIKE '8608149_RS1%';
COMMIT;
2.Apply the patch 8608149.

Why is "x2^0" Displayed on Fixed point numbers in hex format

I have a requirement to display a fixed point value (unsigned 20bit value) in hex format. At present when I set the numeric indicator to display this I get a "x2^0" string attached to the end.
What is this and is there anyway of turning it off?
I am trying to give a display that replicated some old style hex mechanical switches, by selecting a fixed size font and limiting the display to only be big enough to display the five hex digits (minimum field length 5 with pad with zeros) I get almost what I want (the "X2^0" is hidden of right hand side)
However when I delete characters from the number (to say enter a new number) the "X2^0" part then shows. See attached jpg which shows the format string.
This is by no means a show stopper but just annoying, is there some where to turn this formatting string off?
Dave.

It is showing how many of those bits are for the decimal places. It is kind of important information.
But since you are dealing with an Unsigned Integer (20,20 means there is no fractional part), why not just use a U32. You can set the display of the indicator for that to be %05x to just display the lower 5 hex characters.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Cable accessory not supported fix

So I manage thousands and thousands of electronic devices for emergency services. We standardised apple products to make it easier. Then ios7 was released.
I had hundred of remote emergency crews unable to charge their phones. Or call in choppers or fire trucks. It was a disaster.
Luckily no one died and we had no major catastrophes while I was busy swapping. Out 70% of the apple products for gst' sand samsungs.
My question is this. Whenever I put a post up it gets removed.
I point out that, as a tech, I NEED to get their phones to work and charge. So I put in how to bypass the software block but all my posts get removed.
This seems to be a terrible move by apple. They didn't offer to replace the 2000 odd cables I would need and said I would simply need to replace them all with certified products....
But again when I mention anything about the problem on the forums as well the go to the point of blocking and deleting my posts!

That should rest htc or samsung.
Anyhow the way I had to get power to crews was to courier them cables at at a cost of thousands of dollars
It was a nightmare. Luckily no major catastrophes happened otherwise it would have cost lives and we probably would have sued apple.
Now that most of our field phones are htc or samsung it's ok but it was a close call.
The ways I had to get around it were
A - tell them to force the phone to turn off and as the logo was spinning plug it in.
B - get them new cables
C - for those who know how to use computers, install the 3rd party software to make it work
But I should have had to do any of those things.
Apple plain ignored my requests for help and I went into the store with 40 odd cables and she made me feel like I was doing something 'illegal' by not having a certified cable. It was horrible then she told me I would have to buy literally thousands of cables to replace all the ones that were blocks. It was the turning point for me. I was made to feel like a criminal but I'm the one helping save lives and they keep blocking and deleting my posts for it!
Not a word from apple still on how they can help or any mods other than to delete these posts so I'll just keep asking for help I guess. I don't know how they can do this.

Inspection task list usage is not picking automatically?

Hi all,
whenever I create inspection lot for source inspection (for PO) through Qi07, in the inspection lot, task usage assigned as a 6(goods issue), but i will assign 3 (universal) later on for the source inspection ( with respect to PO)in qa32 & later on i will proceed. But i want the system to assign the 3 (task list usage) automatically for all the inspection lots, how to enable the same?
regards,
Sanju

Hi
In the SPRO setting for inspection type, you can assign default usage. I am not having system access right now, so cant give you exact path. But approx. QCC0--insp lot creation-maintain insp type/default values for inspection type.
Try if this solves your issue.

Impact of NOT having SSO Cluster

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to understand the below points about SSO Clustering.
* Impacts of NOT having SSO Cluster
* Benefits of having SSO Cluster
* Step by step guide available for SSO Clustering.
* Is there any pre-requisite or important deadlocks while performing SSO Clustering.
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.
Thanks,
Prashant
Please mark this post accordingly if it answers your query or is helpful.

* Impacts of NOT having SSO Clusterà -->SSO is the key service in order to run BizTalk environment. That is why it is recommended to have SSO as a cluster service in production environemt along with
your SQL instance as cluster. This is for high availability of the service.
Consider SSO is running only on one physical machine and if that goes off, your whole biztalk environment will stop working and it will be a downtime. That is why it is always recommended to have SSO as cluster.
* Benefits of having SSO Cluster--> same as above appoint.
* Step by step guide available for SSO Clustering.-->
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa559783.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
* Is there any pre-requisite or important deadlocks while performing SSO Clustering.--> nope. It’s very straight forward , please follow the guide . any windows Admin person can perform the clustering of this service.
Make sure you keep the backup always at safe place.

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?

HT2128 Does any one know how to attach a document from your mail, while you are already in your e-mail, meaning not having to look for your file first and then open the e-mail.

Does any one know how to attach a document from your mail, while you are already in your e-mail, meaning not having to look for your file first and then open the e-mail.

Luis
Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
THE GOODREADER OPTION
1. CREATE the document you want to send.
2. SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
3. Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
4. COMPOSE your Reply.
5. DOUBLE TAP the message.
6. TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
7. OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
8. At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
9. TAP the Export button.
10. TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
11. TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
12. ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
13. SEND your email Reply.
The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
5 Select e-mail file
6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.
