The following excerpt from the IDoc class shows several, commonly used formatters.
Because the date and time formatters do not take parameters, each is constructed only
once.
The STRIP_BLANKS formatter is created by constructing the RemoveCharFormatter
with a space character as the parameter.
The PRODUCT_BASE_NO formatter combines the STRIP_BLANKS formatter with a
SubStringFormatter. It strips out blanks and everything following the pound sign (#) on
the inbound document.
The ITEM_NO formatter reflects the fact that item numbers in IDocs are usually
represented as a 6-digit zero-padded numbers. Similarly, the LINE_NO format reflects
that detail line numbers in IDocs are almost always represented as four-digit zero-padded
numbers.
public final static Formatter TIME = new ColonTime();
public final static Formatter DASHED_DATE = new DashedDate();

new RemoveCharFormatter(' ');
public final static Formatter PRODUCT_BASE_NO =
new CompoundFormatter(new Formatter[] {
new SubStringFormatter("#"),
STRIP_BLANKS
});
public final static Formatter ITEM_NO = new LeadingZeros(6);
public final static Formatter LINE_NO = new LeadingZeros(4);
Some formatters are applied automatically to IDoc elements on the basis of the data type
of the corresponding SQL field. For example:
• Minus signs (-) in IDocs are on the right side. A formatter moves the minus sign
to the left side for a numeric SQL field.
