How do convert a text or number field with leading zeros?
example: the field length is 12 and I have a number or text value = 12345678
I need to convert that field to 000012345678
thanks,
DeeAnn

Depends on the field, if it is numeric then use
totext({table.field},"000000000000");
if it is text then use
replicatestring('0',12 - length({table.field})) & {table.field};

How do I zero-fill a field in a Presort Output file?

Hello,
I am trying to zero-fill a field in my Presort address output file. For example, instead of posting ap.pc_no_abs as "1", I need to post it as "00000001"
Thank you,
Dawn Deems

Dawn,
Below are some examples of how to pad data when posting to output:
To right justify data in a character-type field:
In the Post to Output File block, place the following filter(s) to achieve your desired result:
To prepad with leading "spaces" for a total length of 10:
right(" "+alltrim(AP.Field_name), 10)
To prepad with leading "zeros" for a total length of 10:
right("0000000000"+alltrim(AP.Field_name), 10)
Thanks,
Kendra

Suppose source field named 'MobNumber' is mapped with Target field named 'MobileNumber'.Condition is AS IS(Right-justified and left zero-filled).
How should i do this mapping?

Zero Fill and Upper Case in Visual Composer not working

Hello,
I am building my first VC application and hit a small wall from get go. When I create input fields and set text formats for one to have "Zero Fill" and for the other one "Upper Case" they do not seem to work properly.
Zero Fill does not work at all. I set this format and also set max length as 10 to be used as input for customer account #. But it does not perform conversion. When I call a BAPI to get customer list, if I enter 0000000100 it works. When I enter 100 it does not work. Thus "Zero Fill" does not take effect.
"Upper case" works but only after refresh. If I enter ac10 as company code and then click submit it does not work. However if after entering ac10 I press enter and then submit, it work.
Does anyone have any info on how to deal with this? We are using VC 7.0
Thanks,
Alex

Hi ALex,
Now I got your problem. I suggest a solution for it.
Go to the design board of VC.
I think you have an Input Form that contains the input fields and the Submit button. There will be a link named "submit"between the Input Form & the Data Service(say BAPI). Click on the submit link, you will get the Input Fields & Assigned values of the Input Form at the bottom right side. Go to the Assigned Value of the particular field & apply a formula like UPPER(@inputfield). So now whatever case you give in the inputfield, it is converted to UPPER case before Submiting the values.Keep the Upper Case option checked at the formatting tab of the Input field properties, this will help to display the value in Upper case.
For eg, BAPI_BANK_GETLIST, the input fields are BANK_CTRY & MAX_ROWS.
Make the assigned value of bank_ctry as UPPER(@BANK_CTRY), you can get this with the help of formula.
This will solve your problem.

Shemim

Zero fill

I've got a form with a field that is required to be right justified and zero-filled at the front end of the number to complete 15 characters. (ex. 58-0218-0920 would be 000005802180920 and 100.035.002.06.060 would be 010003500206060). How do I get it to zero-fill to the left?
The numbers are government issed numbers and the format varies (though they're all for the same thing, go figure). There may be spaces, dashes, dots, or none in these numbers. Is there a way to strip out the extra characters, if entered? I can request that they be entered without any, but there may be instances where this is fed directly from a database that contains pre-formatted numbers...
Thanks,
Jennifer

You're not seeing this?
You have to choose before you make the shape layer. After creating the layer you can simply turn off the eyeball or delete the layer.

Combining PDFs that have identical user-filled fields in them

I already have a more specific question about this process posted elsewhere here, but I want to back-up a bit and ask this higher-level question.
We have an annual event that requires us to create a number of different PDFs, by category, that have user-filled fields in them. Of course we create these forms and create the user fields. We then send these out, then get them back from multiple users who have completed them. We now want to combine all of these submitted PDFs into a single PDF or portfolio (whatever works!). From what I've read so far on this, the problem we have with combining all these into one document comes from the fact that all these completed forms come back to us, completed by their users -- but since many fields all have the same names (which we of course assigned originally) in the completed PDFs that come back to us, Acrobat seems to read all the fields that have the same field name and override all the entered data in those fields with the user-entered data in only one of them (I assume the first on it comes across). Is that correct? If so, what's a logical work-around for this? Sending out PDFs to each user that have field names that are unique to that user only? That seems kind of archaic, but maybe that's it... Although I'm also guessing that someone will suggest a javascript code to use in our files that may resolve this problem. I can copy and paste code, but I'[m no javascripter, so I'd need to know exactly how to do it... Any ideas? Thank you! - Sean

For Acrobat PDFs, you will need to flatten each form before concatenation. Merging multiple forms together is called concatenation. Warning: Flattening the form fields will make the PDF fields unreadable and unfillable; and it would be wise to save the merged or flattened document under a different file name. There are Visual Studio .net and JAVA developer libraries that can perform these tasks; but you will need programming experience or hire a developer.

Zero fill and max length VC7 Compile to WebDynpro not working

Hi,
i try to call Customer get list and set the attributes zero fill and max length to the input table form.
But the user has to put in the exact length and zero filled.
Any idea what to do
Thanks
Uwe

Hi Uwe,
if I understand your question you need something like an alpha conversion.
You can use a formula, therefore is an textfunction called LPAD(text,len,pad).
You can use it like this:
LPAD(@yourtext, 18, "0")
@yourtext contains the input, the length is 18 and filling values is 0 like a alpha conversion.
Best Regards,
Marcel

User exit to check the consistency of filled fields before saving

Removing zero-filled answers from HEX2DEC

I'm doing a simple formula to convert 6-digit hex values into rgb, and encountering 10 digit, zero-filled results instead of the 3 digit results I wanted. Given a hex number in $b$2, my formula is:
=CONCATENATE( "r",HEX2DEC(LEFT($b$2,2),3)," g", HEX2DEC(MID($b$2,3,2),3)," b", HEX2DEC(RIGHT($b$2,2),3) )
I am getting back
r0000000222 g0000000236 b0000000251
when I would prefer
r222 g236 b251
If I just have the formula be:
=HEX2DEC(LEFT($b$2,2),3)
Then I get back 222, which is correct and expected. Indeed, all the numbers are correct, I'm just curious if I can correct the formatting, or do I need to do a RIGHT substring function before each HEX2DEC, like:
=CONCATENATE( "r",RIGHT(HEX2DEC(LEFT($b$2,2),3),3)," g", RIGHT(HEX2DEC(MID($b$2,3,2),3),3)," b", RIGHT(HEX2DEC(RIGHT($b$2,2),3),3) )
Which works, but seems cumbersome at best...

Barry wrote:
The problem arises in the conversion of the HEX2DEC result from a decimal number to a text string in order to allow concatenation. For some reason, that conversion results in a 10 digit string.
Using VALUE gives results in which the decimal values in the string contain no leading zeroes.
Using RIGHT gives results in which the decimal values less than 100 are padded with leading zeroes.
eg. for HEX = FF0F05:
the VALUE formula above returns r255g15b5
the RIGHT formula in your post r255g015b005
As noted, an alternative. Still clunky, though, and the loss of the fixed three digit length for the decimal values may make it less useful.
mwiik and Barry,
Here "Clunky" seems to be the price for flexibility. Without the 10-character internal string representation of the decimal value, mwiik wouldn't have the option of using "RIGHT(HEX2DEC(LEFT($b$2,2),3),3)" to include the leading zeros. mwiik's "=HEX2DEC(LEFT($b$2,2),3)" returns just 3 digits because the cell he did it in has a numeric format, either explicitly or by inference. Using VALUE assures that we grab the numeric result, not the string representation, so we don't get the padding.
I believe that it's all perfectly logical, if not always convenient.

Possible to use JavaScript to Import Data from XML file to pre-fill fields?

Hi,
I have a dynamic fill-in PDF that I want to "pre-fill" internally in my company before sending out to users who will change any pre-filled fields necessary and answer questions we did not already answer.
We do not have LiveCycle Reader Extensions, but we can use Acrobat to import data from an XML document to pre-fill the named fields. Is it possibly to do this task using folder-level Javascript or some other method? I can look into this, and post my findings, but I'd like to know if it's possible or if I need to use a different programming language.

Hi,
I am afraid that solution was for a specific client and I can't share it. If I get a chance I will mock up an example, but this wont be for a while. From memory it was just a straight importData method. This would normally fail silently in a non-certified form, but when the form is digitally signed/certified, it works without a hitch.
Good luck,
Niall

Right justify and zero fill a FormattedTextField

Hi,
I am tyring to right justify and zero fill a JFormattedTextField.
So if the user types in "123" it will get set to "0123". Any ideas? I didn't see anything in the MaskFormatter class that can accompish this...

Hello Stroh,
    NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
    nf.setGroupingUsed(false);
    nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(5);
    nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(5);
    NumberFormatter nft = new NumberFormatter(nf);
    nft.setAllowsInvalid(false);
    nft.setOverwriteMode(true);
    tf = new JFormattedTextField(nft);
    tf.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
//    tf.setBounds(100,50,100,20);
    tf.setText("00000");Actually I would prefer to stop any further input after 5 digits have
been entered. But presently I don't know how achieve this without using a document. I f you have an idea,please let me know.

Zero fill string

I am converting a decimal string into the binary equivalent using the format into string function, just wondering if there is a way to left zero fill the results? For example I have 5 converted to 1001 but would like to have the output string as 00001001, thanks.
Solved!

Message Mapping, filling field with 0 (zeros) on left

I need to fill a field with values that has variable lenght adding 0 (zeros) on the left, how can I do it ?
I'm using the LENGHT in message mapping, with value returned by LENGHT I use FIXVALUES to map the quantity of 0 (zeros) that I need to add in the field.
Somebody can help me with this problem ?
Thank's.

Hi Regis,
You can use the Arithmetic:FormatNum built-in function for this.
If you want to left-pad the number with zeros so that the length is always 10, then specify 10 zeros for the format, 0000000000.
This function takes formats based on java.text.DecimalFormat so you can see all of the possibilities at:
java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html

Jesse

Mapping problem:filling field with 0 (zeros) in material number

I want to create a mapping like the ABAP function:
CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT
for example:
1 => 000000000000000001(add zeros if input value is
numeric)
Z => Z(no change if input is not numeric)
The standard function "formatnum" works well from 1 => 000000000000000001.But it causes a java exception from Z => Z.
How to solve it?
Must i develop a UDF?
thanks

if i understood your requirement, you need to do padding(left) for your input. In that case use this UDF to help you out;
int len = 10 ; // the maximum length of the field in your target.
StringBuffer sBuf= new StringBuffer(a);
while (sBuf.length() < len) {
sBuf.insert(0,'0');
return(sBuf.toString());
