Validations for number fields

hallo,
i want to know whether is there any method to validate a
field that is declared as datatype number(6) if a character is inserted into that field.
i want to know other than javascripting.
also,how can i implement this validation in a table
that contains many fields of number type.

When I said, if you attempt to insert a character into a number column you'll get ORa-1722 I meant using SQL i.e. running an INSERT INTO ... statement in SQL*Plus.
6512 and 6502 error numbers.Those errors represent unhandled exceptions in PL/SQL. ORA-6512 is unhandled exception, ORA-6502 is the numeric data error.
in table,if in second row a character is entered,the readings of first row is inserted and then a error message is promptedwell that sounds screwy, but definitely a front-end problem.
we are using portal as front endThen I suggest you hie yerself over to the Portal forums. There are a number of them on the Forums Home » Oracle Technology Network (OTN) » Products » Application Server page. You'll probably what the PDK forum.
Cheers, APC

How to make a validation for a field?

Is any possible to make input value
validation for a field?
E.g. Force the user enter ItemCode in a
correct format with proper prefix XX-BB-.... .
If SDK is a only solution, how to do it?
Regards,
Kenneth

You can't realy do it with out sdk. You could always try to right a query that will clear the code when it isn't in the correct format. then if they press add it will give an error cause there is no item code. But you'll struggle to get this right and it won't be full proof.
In sdk in your item event you'll test if the specific edit box lost focus and before the action, if that is true then check the value. If it is not correct then bubble the event and give an error. when you bubble the event it won't do the action they wanted to do.
Hope this helps.

How to create a validation on number field.

Hello Experts,
My database table has a numeric column EMP_ID. I want to create a validation so that a user can only enter numeric value in this field on the Apex page.
I have tried to create validation Item/Column specified is numeric for item P2_EMP_ID.
But when I submit the page, I still get the error ORA-01722: invalid number.
How can I create a validation so that the ORA error is hidden from the end user and instead a custom message is displayed.
Thanks,
Rahul

Rah,
Are you on 4.0? This functionality already exists inside of apex. In fact, thats the only difference between the number field and the textfield. Once you create a "Number Field" it automatically creates a numerical validation (but you have no access to it). Likewise for setting the "Require Value" setting on a textfield; the creation of a NOT NULL validation that you can not directly manipulate.
If you are not on 3.2 maybe you can use javascript to restrict the user from entering anything but numerical inputs.
Alternatively, (not sure of 3.2 support) you can install the MASKED INPUT PLUGIN, and make the mask "?9999999999999" (everything after ? is optional and 9 means only numerical)

Validating a Number field in BC4J

I want to make sure users get a custom error message such as "Not a number" when they try to enter a value other than a number into a Number field/attribute.
By default, "JBO-25009:Can't create an object of type:oracle.jbo.domain.Number with value:xxx" exception is thrown.
Trying to trap this exception in the setAttribute(Number x) method in EO doesn't work because the exception thrown before that method is called.
I tried creating a custom validator, but it is not a solution for the same reason above.
I finally created a 'NumberDomain' in which I check if the entry is a number and throw a JboException if it is not. The Domain's AttributeValue type is set to String although the EO attribute is set to a Number. I guess conversion is done internally. This seems to work.
Is this an efficient solution? Is there a better built-in solution that I can implement right away without creating Domains?
Has anyone tried creating a Domain by extending oracle.jbo.domain.Number to accomplish this?
Thanks a lot,
Matt

Hi Arik,
Thanks for your suggestions.
you did mean the script running in the client, Yes.
Use JavaScript validation to make sure the data really is a number.I was looking for a way to make EditCurrentRecord DataWebBean to include Javascript methods such as onChange(), onClick() inside the INPUT tags it automatically creates for the attributes. It seems that the solution is to create a custom Field Renderer by extending HTMLFieldRendererImpl and overwriting its populateForm method with a call to aForm.addInputField(..).

Validation for text field: Null and contains no spaces

Currently on APEX 3.2
I want to check 1 text field and 2 text areas to ensure they are not null and blank (hitting the space bar in the field) before submitting the page. How do I do both validations for on each field?

I created a validation with a type of 'Function Returning Boolean' and using the following code in the expression:
IF( TRIM( :P1_Text_Field) IS NULL
Or LTRIM( :P1_Text_Field ) != :P1_Text_Field )
THEN
RETURN false;
ELSE
RETURN true;
END IF;

How to exclude Required Validation for some fields?

Hi,
I have a page in a form with some fields that are set as required like this:
Field 1   Field 2
table
Field 3   Field4 "Add" button
Field 5    Field 6
"Submit" button
There are two buttons in this form. The "Add" button is PPR allows adding Field 3 and Field 4 to the table. The "Submit" button is for the actual submission and processing. When "Add" button is pressed, I only want the require validation to be done for Field 3 and Field 4, but not Field 1/Field 2/Field 5/Field 6.
Currently, if I press "Add" button, the required field validations are triggered for all six fields. How can I only limit the require validation to some required fields only for this button?
Thanks
-Mina

subform is a great idea and kinna what I needed in this situation, but there is another challenge.
In my case, I tried to put table, Field 3 and Field 4 in subform:
Field 1 Field 2
<af:subform>
table
Field 3 Field4 "Add" button
</af:subform>
Field 5 Field 6
"Submit" button
When I press "Add" button, Required validation still triggered for all fields. Only if I put Field 1 and Field 2 in another subform, and Field 5 and Field 6 in a different subform. Then it works like this:
<af:subform>
Field 1 Field 2
</af:subform>
<af:subform>
table
Field 3 Field4 "Add" button
</af:subform>
<af:subform>
Field 5 Field 6
"Submit" button
</af:subform>
But in my case, I need Field 1, Field 2, Field 5, Field 6 and "Submit" button to be in the same subform, as the "Submit" button applies to these four fields. In the UI design, Field 3 and Field 4 are between Field 1/Field 2 and Field 5/Field 6 though.
Any other ideas?

Data validation for Date Field in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi ,
In my WDA i want to perform data validation for date filed. (i.e. While creating a new record i have to check the Start Date should be always lesser than End Date.)
If u ll enter the wrong date it should validate the Date and throw an error message.
Please Reply soon its urgent.
Thanks,
Deepika

Hi,
First read the two attributes start date and end date.
Then write the following condition.
IF item_start_date > item_end_date.
Error message.
Endif.
For pop up error message you need to use Create_window method of the Interface if_wd_window.
Thanks.

Struts validator for two fields(conditional required)

Have a Drop down and an input field.
When user selects "Type 1" from drop down only then the input field is required. otherwise it's not a required field.
Looking at the validator guide in struts maybe I have to create a new validator rule which should check if drop down value "Type 1". But not sure how to code to say that the input field is required here.
How to do this?
Thanks.

Yes you have to check for drop down value "Type 1".
when you hit on submit it goes to the validation function right ...
there add a condition. Check if tpe 1 is selected , if so proceed validation the text box , else skip that validation and come out.

Important : how to create a validation for table field.

Hi all,
I have created a table in which i have date field of format MM/DD i.e char 5.
i want validation that if user creates a entry in date field then if he enters first two digit more then 12 then validation must be their that please enter first 2 digits from 1-12.
similarly for last two digitsi.e it must be from 1-31
so how can i provide this validation.
if u have any confusion in understanding the query please revert.

Declare 3 variables
DD(2) type char
MM(2) type char
Temp(2) type char
Date(5) type char
Get the DD and MM value from your date field
if MM > 12.
    temp = MM.
    MM = DD.
    DD = temp.
endif.
Then concatenate MM & DD into date and save
Hope it helps!

Activating F4 help/Validating for a field added to SRM shopping cart screen

Can someone please guide me with the steps to do the same.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Vanessa,
Validation can be done in doc change and doc check BADIs.
For attaching F4 help you can create a search help in ABAP Dictionary and attach that serach help to your cutom field .

Date format(for number fields)

Hi there.
I'm creating some sql queries wich will be executed by some users throught the Oracle client PL/SQL, and I need to format some fields in date format.
Those fields are NUMBER(8) and they are in that format: "YYYYMMDD"
The format I want to put that information is: "DD.MM.YYYY".
What's the easiest way to do that?
The version that I'm using is Oracle 9.2.0.4.0.
Thanks by the way.

Hi,
Use TO_CHAR to convert the number to a string,
use TO_DATE to convert the string to a date, then
use TO_CHAR to format the date.
TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( TO_CHAR ( numeric_column
                            , 'fm00000000'
                  , 'YYYYMMDD'
        , 'DD.MM.YYYY'
        )This shows why storing dates in some other kind of column is a bad idea.

Hi bhanu,

eg. YYYYMMDD will put as dd.mm.yyyyy

Validation for a extension field in the BAPI ( BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_CHECK)

Hi,
I am working on an in terface for upload of data in journal ledger(FB50)
Actually i need to validate a field which has been included in transaction FB50 as an enhancement based on customer need .
a function module was created as suggested in note 487722 earlier but now we require to validate that field(transaction type) as i am using this BAPI in an interface for journal ledger posting FB50 for data validation of the file data.
this field has been populated as a part of the extension parameter in the bapi -
(( BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_CHECK)
field values for this field have been passed in the business transaction.
but i am not sure where to code the validation for this field .
could anybody suggest if we need to do it in include ZXACCU15 .
if so then how do we populate the values for the return parameter.
i am post ing document using IDOC and need to generate the for the errors generated.
it already shows for all the standard fields of the transaction.
Its a bit urgent,
help wud be appreciated

The advantage of using the function module over directly filling the BAPIRET2 message variable is that the function module generated the message text (field BAPIRET2-message = 'Transaction type '<type>' is not defined').
