Hi everyone
We are on V7r1
I have received a file to be used in reconciling against our orders
One of the fields (F8) is the order amount, but it is in an alpha field,
left justified
For example
2,239.72
60.61
53.41
626.92
If I try and use the following
decimal(a.F8, 7, 2)
This works fine - except for the amount 2,239.72
So I came up with the following
case when length(trim(a.F8)) > 7 then
decimal(substr(trim(a.F8), 1, (length(trim(a.F8)) - 7)) concat
substr(trim(a.F8), (length(trim(a.F8)) - 5), 6), 7, 2) else
decimal(a.F8, 7, 2)
end
This will work - unless I get amount into the millions - in which case I
have to expand my case
Now - here is my question
Is there a "simpler" way to do this conversion
I was somewhat surprised that
decimal(a.F8, 7, 2)
didn't handle the comma - or am I not seeing something?
