Decimal Value

[Former Member]

I am dividing my Premium by 100 and then sending to the targetamt.

Premium is of type intege. 100 is constant and Targetamt is string.

The problem

Premium is 10000 then I am expecting Targetamt as 100.00, but what I am getting is 100.

On the other hand

if Premium is 10035 then I am getting the correct value 100.35.

I have tried changing the Premium data type to Float, Decimal, but every time for the whole numbers the Decimal portion is getting cut.

Any Suggestions please

Hi,

you have to do it insid ea user advanced function

(inside graphical mapping for example)

change the strig into an integer

divide it and change it back to string

BTW

string to int:

someint = Integer.parseInt(somestring);

int/double to string:

somestring = String.valueof(someinteger);

Thanks Mich. Could you please provide me how should I write a Function. I have never done before. I am passing one value my amount and getting back again targetamt.

I will also try in the mean time.

Hi,

try this:

create a simpl function with one parameter

double resultset;

int newint = Integer.parseInt(a);

int dividbythis = 100;

resultset = newint/dividbythis;

NumberFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat(".00");

String myvalue = formatter.format(resultset);

String finalvalue = String.valueOf(myvalue);

return finalvalue;

BTW

add

java.text.DecimalFormat;

and java.text.NumberFormat;

to your simple function

Regards,

michal

Imports: java.text.DecimalFormat;java.text.NumberFormat;

public String Divide(String a,Container container){

double resultset;

int newint = Integer.parseInt(a);

int dividbythis = 100;

resultset = newint/dividbythis;

NumberFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat(".00");

String myvalue = formatter.format(resultset);

String finalvalue = String.valueOf(myvalue);

return finalvalue;

}
