Using of CONVERT DATE

Hello,
I have two questions relating to a part of a source code, which I have to analyze:
CONVERT DATE INTAB-DATUM INTO INVERTED-DATE DAT_INV.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM TCURR WHERE KURST = INTAB-KURST AND
                                   FCURR = INTAB-WAEKZ AND
                                   TCURR = EUR AND
                                   GDATU = DAT_INV.
I don`t know the command CONVERT DATE INTAB-DATUM INTO INVERTED-DATE DAT_INV. For what purpose do I need this command?
Another question is the SELECT-command. I always thought, that it is necessary to specify a workarea where the result of the Select-Command will be saved. Is that wrong?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Tobias

Hi, here is the explanation for your two queries:
1. You can actually go for F1 help for this and get some idea...
In some cases (for example, when sorting dates in descending order), it is useful to convert a date from format D to an inverted date by using the keyword CONVERT.
EX: DATA: odate TYPE d VALUE '19955011',
idate LIKE odate.
DATA field(8).
field = odate.
WRITE / field.
CONVERT DATE odate INTO INVERTED-DATE idate.
field = idate.
WRITE / field.
CONVERT INVERTED-DATE idate INTO DATE odate.
field = odate.
WRITE / field.
Output:
19955011
80044988
19955011
2. If you mention a table under TABLES declaration, then it means that a workarea with the same table name has been created and hence when u don't specify INTO TABLE, it won't give any error. But if u don't specify the tablename under TABLES it will show error..
If you check in your program the table might have been declared under TABLES..
Hope this helps..

ALE, use bd79 (converting data from sender to receiver to blank out fields)

Hi, I am trying to blank four fields out in our FI IDOC for a certain business reason. These fields must be blank (it is the FIDCC1 message type). I am trying to use transaction bd79 (converting data from sender to receiver) maintain rules. Is there a way to blank out these fields using a conversion rule? I can change data fine but I cannot find a way to blank or null a field out. Thanks in advance.

You should have a look at the inbound function module (linked to your inbound process code). sometimes there are checks that if fields are initial that nothing will be changed.

LSMW problem during display converted data

Dear Expert,
We have problem in LSMW during display converted data.
When using display converted data, the output will show many of rows based on data content.
For example, contains 6 rows. But when we want to see details of the data for one row (example row 2) by double clicking on it, the problem occurs, the output will show the details of the data from the last row (row 6).
Please your advice.

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

>> I need to select from a dynamic column name and save the result in a variable, but seem to be having trouble with the values being fed to sp_executesql <<
This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity.
In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point.
Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity.
Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables!
Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.
Think about how silly this is:
SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental.
We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

How to convert Date in varchar(50) format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM into YYYY-MM-DD format using MS SQLServer 2008 R2 ?

Hi,
I am getting the error "The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value."
when converting date in format Date in varchar(50) format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM into YYYY-MM-DD format using MS SQLServer 2008 R2.
Please note that the date in column is Date(varchar(50), null).
I used the following syntax:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), Date, 102) AS Day
FROM dbo.[RCap_2G MM/Operator]
WHERE (CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), Date, 102) > { fn NOW() } - 1)

As noted above, either use ISDATE or TRY_CONVERT with the correct conversion style number:
-- SQL Server 2012 code
DECLARE @Date varchar(50) = '10/23/2006 10:20';
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(DATE, @Date, 101) AS Day
-- 2006-10-23

Convert Date using ORACLE WAREHOUSE BUILDER

Hi,
I need to convert date format from 'DD/MON/YYYY' to 'YYYY/MON/DD'. The data is varchar(2) and in the database is stored as date. I am using expression component.
I used this expressionS REPLACE(TO_CHAR(INGRP1.FROMDATE), 'YYYY-MON-DD') REPLACE(TO_CHAR(INGRP1.TO DATE), 'YYYY-MON-DD') and it gave me an error: literal does not match format string.
Can anyone help me! PLEASE. IT'S URGENT

You are in the wrong forum. This is the forum for the SQL Developer tool. You wll get better answer from Warehouse Builder forums or from then SQL and PL/SQL forum.
To convert varchar to date use the to_date function, In your case something like
to_date(date_field,'DD/Mon/YYYY');

Using a Converter on a date field

Hi all. I’m having a problem using a converter in JSF. I’m pulling a lot of information from a database and throwing it all on a page. I’ve set up a custom converter for all my values that are of a String type. This converter basically says “if there is something in this variable, put it on the page, otherwise, put ‘N/A’ on the page”. The code for this converter is below:
     public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component,
               Object value)
          String stringValue = value.toString().trim();
          return StringUtils.isNotBlank(stringValue) ? stringValue : "N/A";
...This code works. I’m having trouble doing the exact same thing for date fields. If I run it through the same converter, then it will show me the date if there is one, but if there isn’t anything in the variable, it just gives me nothing. No date, no “N/A”, nothing. I’ve seen that there is a separate converter called DateTimeConverter, but it looks like this is basically just used to format the date.
Anybody know how I can get this working?

I'm still having this problem if anyone has any ideas. When I run it in debug, the value that's getting sent is "". There is a separate DateTimeConverter, but all it seems to do is format a date. I can't see a way to spit out a "N/A" if there isn't one.

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Rhonda

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

Issue when SelectOneChoice is used with Domain data type in JDev 11.1.2.0.0

Hi,
I am facing one issue while working with SelectOneChoice along with Custom Domain data type. Sample app to simulate the issue is available at http://www.filejumbo.com/Download/6FDF6ECF2922BD24
Issue Details.
Base view object’s attribute is of type CustomString, for which another static VO’s attribute is attached as LOV. LOV attribute is of type String. Because of this data type mismatch between LOV VO attribute and Base VO attribute, while working in screen, initially we were facing Class cast exception.
Cannot convert <<LOV Attr. Val.>> of type class java.lang.String to class model.domain.common.CustomString This is not only for this type of SelectOneChoice but also for InputText field whose underlying VO attribute is of type CustomString (i.e. any Custom Domain type)
On raising this in Jdeveloper forum, I came to know that adding a default oracle converter against the UI Component will take care of converting to respective data type. After added the converter for InputText and SelectOneChoice components, this issue got resolved. This was our lesson while working in Jdeveloper version 11.1.1.3.0. Converter we used,
<f:converter converterId="oracle.genericDomain"/> When we try the same scenario in Jdev Version 11.1.1.4.0, without having the oracle converter itself, SelectOneChoice started working fine!! (i.e. it is able to set the base attribute with LOV attribute’s value but with proper base attribute’s domain data type). Anyhow, converter is required for InputText.
When we try the same scenario in Jdeveloper new version 11.1.2.0.0, it started giving class cast exception when we don’t have oracle converter for SelectOneChoice. But by adding it, though it didn’t give such class cast exception message, though a selection is made in SelectOneChoice, VO attribute has not been updated with the new value. Instead it is updated with null value (Checked the setter method of view row impl by having break point) . Because of this, after a selection is made, when we try to read the attribute value from VO on button click, VO attribute always returns null.
We have also tried our own converters but there is no change in the behavior.
The above misbehavior can be tested either by having SOP programmatically or by refreshing the SelectOneChoice by giving its id as Partial trigger to itself with autosubmit set to true, so that the selected value will be reset to null irrespective of the selection made.
For convenience, Issue details with Sample application is shared. Shared link : http://www.filejumbo.com/Download/6FDF6ECF2922BD24
Shared folder contains
1. Sample App developed on Jdev 11.1.1.4.0 to ensure it didn’t give this error.
2. Sample App developed on Jdev 11.1.2.0.0 to simulate this error.
3. Error details in a document.
Can anybody have a look at this and tell me why this misbehavior and is it a bug? If so, any workaround available to continue the development?
Thanks in Advance.

Sorry for the late reply John and Frank. Ya i did. Thank you.
One more detail:
I tested the behavior in Jdeveloper 11.1.2.0.0. The recent surprise is Select One Choice is behaving perfectly when it used in Grid layout and fail to work when it is form layout. I am getting surprised why behavior of component varies based on the way it refers the binding.
for form layout,
value=#{bindings.
for grid layout,
value=#{row.bindings.

What is the best way to load and convert data from a flat file?

Hi,
I want to load data from a flat file, convert dates, numbers and some fields with custom logic (e.g. 0,1 into N,Y) to the correct format.
The rows where all to_number, to_date and custom conversions succeed should go into table STG_OK. If some conversion fails (due to an illegal format in the flat file), those rows (where the conversion raises some exception) should go into table STG_ERR.
What is the best and easiest way to archive this?
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi,
thanks for your answers so far!
I gave them a thought and came up with two different alternatives:
Alternative 1
I load the data from the flat file into a staging table using sqlldr. I convert the data to the target format using sqlldr expressions.
The columns of the staging table have the target format (date, number).
The rows that cannot be loaded go into a bad file. I manually load the data from the bad file (without any conversion) into the error table.
Alternative 2
The columns of the staging table are all of type varchar2 regardless of the target format.
I define data rules for all columns that require a later conversion.
I load the data from the flat file into the staging table using external table or sqlldr without any data conversion.
The rows that cannot be loaded go automatically into the error table.
When I read the data from the staging table, I can safely convert it since it is already checked by the rules.
What I dislike in alternative 1 is that I manually have to create a second file and a second mapping (ok, I can automate this using OMB*Plus).
Further, I would prefer using expressions in the mapping for converting the data.
What I dislike in alternative 2 is that I have to create a data rule and a conversion expression and then keep the data rule and the conversion expression in sync (in case of changes of the file format).
I also would prefer to have the data in the staging table in the target format. Well, I might load it into a second staging table with columns having the target format. But that's another mapping and a lot of i/o.
As far as I know I need the data quality option for using data rules, is that true?
Is there another alternative without any of these drawbacks?
Otherwise I think I will go for alternative 1.
Thanks,
Carsten.

Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric 'witholding tax' (OWHT)

Hi Guys.

It takes place when I open a sales document, or browse previous docs. When browsing previous docs, it onlly happens on some of them.
I also receive a different error when viewing sales orders: Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric (CRD2).
Any ideas how to fix it?
It does not limit me from processing and using the rest of the functionality. All calculations with queries in the docs are still working.

How can I convert date in FOX (from DEC to date[DEC])

Hi everyone!
In my planning layout I have a field called "MYDATE" of the date-type "DEC: Calculation or amount field with comma and +/- sign" (-> BPS does not allow using DATS as date-type).
Since I import that date from a different system, I have to use a temporary workaround field "WADATE" (WorkaroundDate) of type DEC (alternatively integer or float) which contains the date in a format YYYYMMDD (e.g. 20070604).
How can I transfer the date from WADATE to MYDATE? I tried using FOX, but for some reason it does not work. When I use the following function, MYDATE remains empty:
DATA TMPDATE TYPE F.
DATA MYPROJECTS TYPE B906_PROJ.
FOREACH MYPROJECTS.
"MYDATE" is the field I want my date in
"WADATE" is my workaround field that contains the date
TMPDATE = {WADATE,000,0000000001,0000000001,001}.
BREAK-POINT.
{MYDATE,000,0000000001,0000000001,001} = TMPDATE.
ENDFOR.
Is it possible to solve my problem with FOX? Or do I have to work with an EXIT function?
Best regards, Daniel

Daniel,
The better approach is the one Marc said but if you have tomake a work around work, I think you might need to try and define your temporary date variable as String and another for the converted date as of type of the final date. I would not define any date type as float unless you can have part days and it is very important to have part days, integer might work by I would try String first myself.
It has been a while but on a BW 3.5 project I had to do some manipulation to read the attribute value of material master data to get the launch date and use it to derive the start period (definited as type 0FISCPER) and proportion of month based on number of days remaining after launch date vs the # of days for the month. I think I used string type function in FOX to derive some of the component...
Hope this helps,
mary
