Exporting Signed Numerics EBCDIC

I needed a function to create an EBCDIC overpunch to numeric values in an access database when exporting the data as text files for loading into OneSource.

This function might help if you need something similar

Function EbcDic(ByVal tmpNumber As Double, ByVal tmpDec As Integer, ByVal tmpPlaces As Integer)
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'OneSource Requirement for Signed Numeric Fields
'Below is the conversion table of signed numeric values (right most over-punch character) to EBCIDIC:
'(you do not need to worry about positive numbers, it is only negative numbers that need the translation)

'Positive   'Negative
'0 = {      '0 = }
'1 = A      '1 = J
'2 = B      '2 = K
'3 = C      '3 = L
'4 = D      '4 = M
'5 = E      '5 = N
'6 = F      '6 = O
'7 = G      '7 = P
'8 = H      '8 = Q
'9 = I      '9 = R
'
'  (for example a -592.52 ... will be passed as 00000005925K)
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dim tmpStr, tmpTrans, tmpPos, tmpFactor
Dim tmpFilled
tmpFilled = "00000000000000"
 
If Len(tmpNumber & "") = 0 Then
    EbcDic = right(tmpFilled, tmpPlaces)
    Exit Function
End If
 
Select Case tmpDec
Case 0
    tmpFactor = 1
Case 1
    tmpFactor = 10
Case 2
    tmpFactor = 100
Case 3
    tmpFactor = 1000
Case 4
    tmpFactor = 10000
End Select
 
If tmpNumber >= 0 Then
    EbcDic = right(tmpFilled & Int(tmpNumber * tmpFactor), tmpPlaces)
    Exit Function
Else
    tmpTrans = Int((tmpNumber * tmpFactor) * -1)
    tmpPos = InStr(1, "0123456789", right(tmpTrans, 1), 1)
 
    tmpStr = Left(tmpTrans, (Len(tmpTrans) - 1)) & right(Left("}JKLMNOPQR", tmpPos), 1)
   EbcDic = right(tmpFilled & tmpStr, tmpPlaces)
End If
 
End Function

Loading foreign characters into Syspro

I had an issue loading address fields with swedish and german characters into syspro via an XML upload so used this function to strip out the characters

Function SpecialReplace(ByVal tmpReg) As String
If Len(tmpReg) > 0 Then
    Dim tmpStr
    'start the replace
    'clear double spaces
    tmpStr = Trim(tmpReg)
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "ä", "a") ' ) bracket
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "Ä", "A") ' ) bracket
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "é", "e") ' ) bracket
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "ö", "o") ' ) bracket
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "Ö", "O") ' ) bracket
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "ü", "u") ' ) bracket
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "Ü", "U") ' ) bracket
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "ß", "s") ' ) bracket
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "Å", "A")
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "å", "a")
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "Æ", "A")
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "æ", "a")
    tmpStr = FindAndReplace(tmpStr, "Ø", "O")
    SpecialReplace = tmpStr
End If
End Function

Posting Sales Orders in Syspro using XML and Business Objects

The task criteria was to load orders from field sales office by adding automation to Excel files or loading XML files into an access database. This allows the client to validate the order entries and ensure all key data is present before attempting to load the orders into Syspro.

This post covers the export of the data from the validated database into Syspro.

To use this code you would need to download and install the free ChilkatXML program see chilkatsoft.com and add a reference to Chilkat XML, DAO 3.6 and Syspro e.Net.

If you any questions on how to use this code please post a question

The next stage is to use the file created in ExportXML() to pass to Syspro business objects.

Function OrdPost()

Dim XMLout, xmlIn, XMLPar
Dim xml As New ChilkatXml
Dim rec1 As ChilkatXml
Dim rec2 As ChilkatXml
 
Call ExportXML
 
Call SysproLogon

Open "c:\xmlso.xml" For Input As #1
xmlIn = Input(LOF(1), 1)
Close #1
 
'xml.LoadXmlFile ("c:\XMLSO.xml")

'actually post the order
XMLout = EncPost.Post(Guid, "SORTOI", XMLPar, xmlIn)
xml.LoadXml (XMLout)
 
xml.SaveXml ("c:\SORTOIOUT.xml")
'now see if there have been any errors
Call ReadResults
 
Exit Function
Errorhandler:
