Zero a a first digit

How do you enter zero as a first digit in a cell? I want to enter zip codes and those from the east coast begin with zero.

W3,
Use Custom Format and set for 5 digits, no separator and "Show Zeros for Unused Digits"

Allowing a zero as the first digit in an insert record form field

I have a form that has an insert record behavior applied to
it. I would like to be able to put a number into one of the form
fields that begins with the letter zero (i.e. 010507). The trouble
is that when I insert any number beginning with a zero, the first
zero in the number gets dropped when it is entered into the
database. This occured even when I tried changing the field type
from number to text in Access.

Oh, I failed to change the field type to "text" in the insert
record dialogue box as well.

How to retrieve the first digit of a number

Hi,
In my smartform (PO Form)I have to check a condition with respect of the first digit of company code. To be more clear i need to check that if the first digit of the company code is '1' (like in case of 1000, 1002, 1003 & so on) then my PO should be a 3rd party consignment. how do i do that?

Hi,
thanks for ur quick reply.
but i just wanted to verify that can i use this condition directly under the condition tab of my smartform as i never used like this.
Now i have put the condition like IS_EKKO-BUKRS+0(1) = '1'
And one thing to let u know that the filed size of company code is always same. i.e.4

When I sort a column of figures, it sorts by the first digit. How do I get it to sort by the whole number?

I have a column of numbers, Specifically: 5.2, 42.0, 25.5, 2.4, 11.8, 0.9, 0.5. Notice how it has sorted by the first digit, not the whole number. In other words 5.2 is ranked higher than 42, because 5 is larger than 4. What do I turn on or off to make it behave sensibly?
Any answers would be appreciated.
Martin

Hi Martin,
Are the cells formatted as Text (left aligned, as in Column B)?
Data Format in Column C
Column C will sort as Number.

First digit disappears

I am facing a peculiar situtation in our multiple forms application. The situation is like this-
In form A I have a text field named TEXT1 with data type as number.I navigate from form A to Form B and perform some update in Form B. After this I come back to Form A and type a number in the field TEXT1. The first digit that I type in this field almost always disappears. If I do not perform any update in form B this does not happen and things work fine. I am messing up something that I am not aware of.
Does any body have any clue?
Thanks for help.

I've experienced this peculiarity sporadically as well. From what I can tell, sometimes it does this: you navigate to the text item, you enter first char, magically this char gets selected, next char you write replaces selection and from there on everything seems normal.
I think it's a bug in the java gui part, and some of these things have gotten better with new Jinitiators. 1.3.1.8 on Unix was horrible, 1.3.1.9 (windows) was better and I don't see it happening (much?) with 1.3.1.13 (also on windows).
Some people tend to experience it more often than others. I've hypothesized somewhat about mouse drivers and that sort of thing ...?

Limit the amount of characters of a text field based on first digit

Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
I would like to limit the amount of characters of the text field based on the first digit of the number (the text field is only limited to a number format...no decimals, no commas).
For example, if the number begins with a 3, I would like to limit the text field to allow only ten characters. I have three scenarios but if I could get started with some code and what is the best place to add it (keystroke or validation?) I can take it from there. Thanks again for your help!!

I've written this code for you that does that. Use it as the field's custom Keystroke code:
// Validate that only digits are entered
if (event.change) {
    event.rc = /^\d+$/.test(event.change);
// Validate string length if it starts with 3
if (/^3/.test(AFMergeChange(event))) {
    event.rc = AFMergeChange(event).length <= 10;
    if (!event.rc) app.alert("If the number starts with \"3\" it may not be longer than 10 digits.",1); // optional error message
You can duplicate the second part of it for additional conditions, but keep in mind that this code won't even let you remove the first character in the field if the result is an invalid one.
For example, if you enter "234567890123456" then you can't remove the "2" at the start because that would result in an invalid number. You can remove any of the other digits, though, and when it's 10 digits or less then you could remove the starting "2" as well.

"#" key as the first digit of site prefix code

The plan at present is to implement the centralized CCM cluster design with a main office and 10 remote sites in Asia where the first digit of site prefix code is "#" follows by two digits of country code and 4 digit internal extension. So that a remote site in Tokyo would be #816200. Can "#" key be used as first digit of site prefix code? Thanks.

Yes, you can use the # to route calls.

First digit of date if 0, gets truncated-upload problem

Hi,
I have a situation where in i am downloading a file in user setting format into an excel. The date field is hence stored in DDMMYYYY format.
Suppose the DD of my date is below 10 ie 01-09, the zero digit gets truncated in excel. so while uploading there is a conversion error.
I am using TEXT_XLS_CONVERT_SAP to uploa data. i want the date in the excel in DDMMYYYY format (according to my user setting).
Regards,
Herwin.

Hi Herwin,
Your internal table seems to have date field of DATE data type. Instead use field of type Text.
mdate(10) type c.
Loop over the internal table & move the data from DATE field to the New text field. Download the Text field instead of DATE field.
Thanks,
Best regards,

Gatekeeper Drop First Digit

Hi
I have a gatekeeper with multilple CCM registered and also Multiple PSTN gateways.
When a call to the PSTN is dialed it is prefixed with a 9 but the plans on the gatekeeper dont have a 9 as on inbound calls there is no 9.
Is there a way i can drop the 9 on calls from the CCM when the gatekeeper decides where to route the call without having 2 copies of the number?
example of my zone prefix. It does not match the call outbound as there is no 9, but i need the 9 to be there when it hits the other gateway.
zone prefix gk-ht-zn-ccm-01 0845123222* gw-priority 10 N4-DRY-HOST-VGW-RL_1 N4-DRY-HOST-VGW-RL_2
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
Unfortunately, gatekeepers don't manipulate digits - they basic just resolve phone numbers to IP address.
You'll need to translate the dialed number on the inbound voip leg dial-peer of the gateway.

Difference between datatype NUMBER and NUMBER(38)

Difference between datatype NUMBER and NUMBER(38)

From
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements001.htm#i54330
NUMBER Datatype
The NUMBER datatype stores zero as well as positive and negative fixed numbers with absolute values from 1.0 x 10-130 to (but not including) 1.0 x 10126. If you specify an arithmetic expression whose value has an absolute value greater than or equal to 1.0 x 10126, then Oracle returns an error. Each NUMBER value requires from 1 to 22 bytes.
Specify a fixed-point number using the following form:
NUMBER(p,s)
where:
p is the precision, or the total number of significant decimal digits, where the most significant digit is the left-most nonzero digit, and the least significant digit is the right-most known digit. Oracle guarantees the portability of numbers with precision of up to 20 base-100 digits, which is equivalent to 39 or 40 decimal digits depending on the position of the decimal point.
s is the scale, or the number of digits from the decimal point to the least significant digit. The scale can range from -84 to 127.
Positive scale is the number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point to and including the least significant digit.
Negative scale is the number of significant digits to the left of the decimal point, to but not including the least significant digit. For negative scale the least significant digit is on the left side of the decimal point, because the actual data is rounded to the specified number of places to the left of the decimal point. For example, a specification of (10,-2) means to round to hundreds.
Scale can be greater than precision, most commonly when e notation is used. When scale is greater than precision, the precision specifies the maximum number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point. For example, a column defined as NUMBER(4,5) requires a zero for the first digit after the decimal point and rounds all values past the fifth digit after the decimal point.
It is good practice to specify the scale and precision of a fixed-point number column for extra integrity checking on input. Specifying scale and precision does not force all values to a fixed length. If a value exceeds the precision, then Oracle returns an error. If a value exceeds the scale, then Oracle rounds it.
Specify an integer using the following form:
NUMBER(p)
This represents a fixed-point number with precision p and scale 0 and is equivalent to NUMBER(p,0).
Specify a floating-point number using the following form:
NUMBER
The absence of precision and scale designators specifies the maximum range and precision for an Oracle number.
And
2
NUMBER[(precision [, scale]])
Number having precision p and scale s. The precision p can range from 1 to 38. The scale s can range from -84 to 127

Disadvantages of using "0" zero as first value in a generated sequence

Does anyone have any experience with the benefits/disadvantages of using a value of 0 "zero" as the first value generated in a sequence that is also populated in a table. My past experience has always used the values of 1 "one" as the first generated value from a sequence.
Thanks

Benefit: You get use one "more" number from the list of values that can possibly be generated by the sequence. If you are start from '1', you have missed out on '0' :-)
Disadvantages: If any of the queries have predicate like "sequence_generated_column_value > 0" and that your sequence starts from zero, the record with sequence_generated_column_value=0 will not appear in result set for that query (assuming it satisfies other conditions).
May be there are many mores benefits/disadvantages to add to this list :-)

When using yahoo mail on firefox, when replying to emails the first letter has started to not record/appear. not an issue with my clicking, rather firefox recording the letter/digit. this does not appear to be an issue on Safari or Chrome.

first digit typed when replying to an email on yahoo mail on firefox is not appearning. not an issue on safari or chrome browsers.

I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck.

SAPphone: Caller ID: Removing first zero

Hi
We are using CRM 7.0 and a 3rd party CTI, i am facing a problem in removing the first digit "9" which is added by the PBX. I found a SAP note which guides you how to remove the first digit "0" for SAPphone.
The problem is same but in my case, its CTI. Can anyone tell me how i can remove the first digit "9". In SE16, the table SXNODES is not showing CTI telephony settings. Do i have to add in SPHB, in that case, how it will be applicable to CTI as its meant for SAPphone. Please clarify.

This setting is done at the CTI level by the vendor.

Leading zeros remove from FB05 for assignment field in process open items b

Dear expert
At present i am using the electronic bank statement completed OT83 & OT51configuration, when i am running FF-5 the EBS soft copy has been uploaded and created batch input session.
I executed batch input session and the transactions has been posting through FB05 for outgoing payment clearing with assignment field ( where check number is laying correctly and matching EBS soft copy cheque number and SAP outgoing clearing account line item assignment cheque number ) in case of outgoing clearing is happening correctly.
but where as i have a problem incoming clrg cheque number which is displaying in assignment field and updated when client using FF68(check deposit / collections).
the user is punching all collections from customers using t.code FF68 and cheque number is updated with 6 digit number in the variant. it is like a JV.
after posting batch input session the cheque is number displaying in assignment field. the cheque number is updated with 6 digit number. but in the variant cheque number width 6 digit only but after posting FF68 & SM35 the system automatically taking leading zeros for the remaining length. Cheque number standard length in SAP 13 in table .
total 13 digit length but user punched only 6 digit only, because the cheque number 6 digit numberonly. so the remaining 7 digits it is occupaying 0000000.
while executing FF_5 and SM35 (thr FB05) the assignment field cheque number (0000000586585) and soft copy cheque number 6 digit (586585) is not matching , because of that i am unable to clear the incoming collections or incoming payments clrg.
so how can i remove the leading zeros after cheque number ( actually displaying 0000000586585 , but i want without zeros only cheque number 586585) in assignment field in FB05 using FF-5 & SM35).
is there any enhancement or user exit to remove leading zeros or any other way of work around .
Regards

Hi Amareswar,
In your case, request your bank to provide cheque number with leading zeros in electronic bank statement as the leading zeros in the assignment field is SAP system behaviour.
Alternatively, use 'Define Search String for Electronic Bank Statement' (refer http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/6d/0cdf4b142e11d3963800a0c9426c73/frameset.htm for details) in the IMG, customize it to search for the cheque number provided in the note to payee field > then append leading zeros.
The first method is the solution we are using and it is the most cost effective.
Hope the above helps.
Kind regards,
John Chin
