I want to be able to enter a list OF ANY LENGTH consisting of 6-digit GLs. Needs to be variable length list for future development.
Reformatting:
Add leading 0000s because old SAP just loves random extra zeros.
Convert the list into the proper formatted string for SQL query.
Saved as a variable to use in an f-string later on.
I can either get the list to the proper length, or with the correct kind of brackets. But, not both.
GLs_Entered = 101010, 202020, 303030, 404040
SQL_GLs = [f'0000{e}' for e in GLs_Entered]
Output_Variable = "('{}','{}','{}')".format(*SQL_GLs)
print(SQL_GLs)
print(output)
OUTPUT OF ABOVE
Need this length SQL_GLs = ['0000101010', '0000202020', '0000303030', '0000404040']
Need this format Output_Variable = ('0000101010','0000202020','0000303030')
The SQL GLs is properly adjusting for variable length of the list, unfortunately output is limited by the {}s needing to be defined ahead of time.
Correct answer will be:
('0000101010', '0000202020', '0000303030', '0000404040')
SQL needs the parentheses, won’t accept square brackets as valid (at least in the version I’m forced to use).
>Solution :
You can directly get this output by:
output=tuple(f'0000{e}' for e in GLs_Entered)
print(output)
#('0000101010', '0000202020', '0000303030', '0000404040')
