AddressBook:  Only 8 characters for field lables, cannot begin to describe

Frustrated that lables for each field box only allows like 8 letters to explain.
Like lables for fields: 'Phone', 'Email', Address, web page, etc.
Only 8 characters then "..." dot dot dot ...
What goood is it to onlly have 8 characters or letters> Does everything have to be abbreviated in the briefest, or code?
Really, for mmany fields, 8 spaces is not adequate to even Begin to describe.
I know, i should upgrade. Perhaps newer versions allow more space for field lables descriptions.But for those of us still loyal to Panther, and constrained by $$ limits, is there not a soolution?
The highly coveted award of 'SOLVER' awaits the one who can proovide a solution to this vexing problem.
Muchly appreciative.
Still a Panther, using:
Address book 3.1.2 (v321), 2003. Yeah, we're old & obso.

@silverzhao I use a manual dhcpcd/wpa_supplicant way of setting up my wlan0 using http://git.r-36.net/conn and I have the same problem.
I have to kill my wireless and restart after seeing a message like:

  • ALV displays a maximum of 130 characters for field

    Hi all!
    I have a problem with the ALV display and Debug textbox.
    I have a var which has 220 of length but alv only displays the first 130.
    Also, debugging, this var is showed in the textbox with the first 130 characters, but if I write l_message+100 i can see that the rest of message exists.
    The ALV is Ok. I have changed the length of the field to 200 chars instead the l_message type but it still happens. I think that there is any routine or something that is forcing the vision of 130 characters in the ALV and DEBUG.
    Do u know anything?
    Thanks!

    I am able to get upto 255 characters. Are you doing grid or ALV list.
    check whether you gave line size in report line.
    check the fieldcatalog output length what you gave and if any reference table name filed name you gave.

  • In a document library, offering only certain options for fields based on others selected

    Hi, I have a document library, and when someone uploads an item to that library, they are presented with a form to select properties. I have 4 properties I want them to select (really 6, but the first two are Name and Title). The issue is that these 4 properties
    depend on each other in this way:
    1st property: I use a lookup to offer 4 choices, "A" "B" "C" or "D" in a dropdown.
    2nd property: I want to offer the user a choice of 4 items in a dropdown, based on what they chose for the 1st property. (if they chose "A", then offer "1" "2" "3" or "4", if they chose
    "B" offer "5" "6" "7" or "8", etc.)
    3rd property: same thing as above, but now based on what they chose for the 2nd property (if they chose "1", offer "a" "b" "c" or "d", if "5" offer "s" and "t")
    4th property: again based on 3rd property.
    How can I do this? can I write some sort of custom form that can do this?

    What you're trying to do is commonly refererd to as 'Cascading Drop Downs'. These are a common lack in SharePoint.
    There are lots of ways to do that, my favourite to use jQuery or Javascript:

  • Need a document for field exit....urgent

    Can any one please send a document for field exit or have a simple document on how to work on a field exit with screen shots. pls send it ...its urgent
    Thanks and regards

    Hi,
    A field exit is a type of user exit.
    A user exit is a hook where you can inject your own add-on functionality or behavior to SAP’s standard business applications without having to modify the original applications.
    Field exits allow you to create your own programming logic for any data element in the Dictionary. You can use this logic to carry out checks, conversions, or business-related processing for any screen field.
    Field Exits
    Field exits allow you to create your own programming logic for any data element in the Dictionary. You can use this logic to carry out checks, conversions, or business-related processing for any screen field.  Example: The data element BBBNR identifies a company’s international location number. You might want to set up your R/3 System so that all international location numbers are larger than 100. 
    The field exit concept lets you create a special function module that contains this logic. 
    You assign the special function module to the data element BBBNR. You then assign the module to any programs and screens in which users can add new international location numbers. When you activate your field exit, the system automatically triggers your special routine whenever a user enters a company location number. 
    In 4.6c, you can use "RSMODPRF" program to create field exits.
    An example of a user exits :-
    MODULE user_exit_0001 INPUT 
        CASE okcode.
            WHEN 'BACK OR EXIT'.
                CASE sy-dynnr.
                        WHEN '100'.
                             SET SCREEN 0.
                             LEAVE SCREEN.
                        WHEN '200'.
    Note that you can write any code that satisfy your needs.                                                     ****
    But in this case, this was wrote as a sample code for reference sake.                                    ****
    And you can test it.                                                                                ****
                             SET SCREEN 100.
                             LEAVE SCREEN.
                 ENDCASE.
          ENDCASE. 
    Field exits (SMOD/CMOD) Questions and Answers
    1. Field exit was created with CMOD, but is not processed when calling the screen.
    -  Since the field exit is not processed until PAI, an action must be triggered on the screen (Return, Save, ...).
    -  Set profile parameter abap/fieldexit to YES and restart the system.
    -  After activating the function module FIELD_EXIT... and the field exit, leave the transaction on whose screen the field exit is to be executed. The screen is not generated until the transaction is started.
    - Do not work on different application servers since there may be some delay before the field exit is activated.
    - The profile parameter must be set on all or none of the application servers.
    - If the field exit is to only be active on specific screens, check whether you chose the correct program and the correct screen
          number (take care with subscreens).
    - Using SE51 -> Field list, check that the screen field does have a reference to a data element. In the name of the field exit use the name of the data element and not the field name.
    - After transport, field exits are marked as active but will not be processed. 
       Tip: First try deactivating the field exit once more and then afterwards, activate it again.
    2. How is performance affected by setting abap/fieldexit?
    - If a screen is generated and the profile parameter is set, a check is run on 2 tables (TDDIR, TDDIRS) to see whether a field exit must be generated for the respective field. In practice, the screen load is not generated until the screen is selected after an
    update. The user should not notice any difference because screen generation is very fast.
    3. Can you read the contents of other screen fields in the field exit?
    - In principle, every field exit can store its value in the global variables of the function group (TOP) and hence make them
    available to other field exits. Note here that field exits are always called and not only if an entry is made in the field or if the field is empty. In addition, it is not possible to make any assumptions about the order in which the field exits will be called in the future.
    4. How does the field exit behave on step loop fields ?
    - After the user has entered data, the field exit is called in PAI as often as there are visible fields in the step loop. The system
    variable SY-STEPL is incremented each time. If a new value is assigned to the field, it is displayed in the module between LOOP and ENDLOOP. This module is also called once for each visible step loop line.
    5. Can field exits be debugged ?
    - No. Field exits must be tested separately in the ABAP/4 Development Workbench. For errors which only occur in the screen environment, it is helpful to write interesting variable to the file system using TRANSFER... . These can then be analysed there.
    6. What can you do if the field contents are no longer transported to to ABAP/4.
    - Check whether a value is assigned to the field OUTPUT.
    7. When is the field exit called if a conversion exit is attached to the
       data element ?
    - The field exit is called after the conversion exit. This means that the INPUT field receives the data in the same format as the
    ABAP/4 program also receives it.
    8. Although a global field exit is inactive, a function module is called which does not exist (for example FIELD_EXIT_PROGRAMM_@)
    - This is an error in the kernel which no longer occurs as of 3.0C.  As a temporary measure, it is useful to assign a program and a screen which do not exist to the field exit and then activate the field exit.
    9. Field exit is not visible in CMOD, although created.
    - If you want to create a field exit for a data element, a function module is proposed with the name FIELD_EXIT_. This
    function module must exist for the field exit to work. If you do not create this function module, but do create one with a suffix,
    the data element is not displayed in CMOD.
    10. Field exit is not executed although it is active.
    -  Fields which do not have the 'Input field' attribute usually do not trigger a field exit. The field exit is designed to allow an
    extended input check. It is therefore only called for input fields - even if they are not ready for input at runtime of the         application by LOOP AT SCREEN.
    This rule does not apply, however, if the field is located within a steploop. Here the field will be always activated, even if it is
    invisible.
    - Field exits can only be executed for fields that are directly related tothe dictionary. If the relation is indirect, i.e. via an       ABAP declaration (  LIKE ), no field exit can be executed.
    11. Field exits on check buttons do not work
    -  Field exits are only intended for input fields. As check buttons count as graphical elements, you cannot install field exits on
    them.
    12. Field exits do not work on selection screens
    SAP Field Exits
    From 4.6c onwards, Field exits will no more be supported by SAP.  They removed the function of field exit but they had given lot of flexibility through userexit.
    However, if you still required it, here is how to activate it :-
    First called up transaction  CMOD.
    Then called up transaction PRFB.
    or
    Activation of the field exits and assignment of the dynpros can also be carried out using program RSMODPRF. For this purpose, the program must be started without parameters (input fields remain blank).  If required, new field exits can be created using program RSMODPRF (see the program documentation).

  • Exception: non-read-only mapping defined for the primary key field

    Hello.
    I'm new to Oracle and I created Java EE Web Project.
    And I created entities from tableA, tableB, tableC from my database.
    tableA has foreign key to tableB and has unidirectional Many-to-One relationship. tableC has two primary keys and one of these is foreign key to primary key in tableA. tableC also has unidirection Many-to-One relationship to tableA.
    Then I created session bean and data control from it, in design window, created read-only table from tableA.
    And I selected columns in tableA and also in tableB.
    I ran the application and saw the following exception in log window.

    There are not enough details to be sure since you have not provided the mappings. From just the error, it looks like you are using the tableC.tableA_ID field as the foreign key in the ManyToOne relationship to A, but have marked it as insertable=false, writeable=false, meaning that it cannot be updated or used for inserts.
    Either make it writable (set the settings to true), or add another basic mapping/attribute in the entity for TableC that maps to the field which you can use to set when you insert a new tableC entity. A simple example is available at

    There is only one app "Passbook" is on that list and I cannot use Cellular data for other apps at all.

    Hi sberman,
    Thank you for your answer.
    Restrictions is currently off.
    Anyway I found that my SIM card is not working on 3G.
    I replaced my SIM to other one and it works fine even without apps on the "USE CELLULAR DATA FOR:" field.
    Still don't know how to add apps on this field.

  • How to restrict number of characters for an input field

    Hi All,
    I have an input field.
    The max number of characters for this input field is 10.
    when a user enter more then 10 characters. it should prompt for an error or the input field should not allow to accpet the 11 character.
    how we do this in VC.
    need your helpful answers
    Rgds
    Srinivas

    Hi Srinu
    You could achieve this by configuring error messages under the formula:-
    Select the control properties and in the Input field at the Display tab write the formula
    "IF((@<LEN(text)>10),'appropriate message','Records available')"
    Note :- there is a LEN(text) under text functions in formula tab.

  • In iTunes I click on a song and when I click on the "get info" tab, it opens up but everything is gray - locked, therefore, I cannot edit the year or genre of the songs. Not every song is locked, only certain ones for some reason. Any help?

    In iTunes I click on a song and when I click on the "get info" tab, it opens up but everything is gray - locked, therefore, I cannot edit the year or genre of the songs. Not every song is locked, only certain ones for some reason. Any help?

    I ran into the same problem, I think that, If you tab on a song that is on your IPOD, and the song data is grayed-out, I think it means that the song is probably twice on your IPOD and that the iTunes directory can not edit THAT song data for two (or more) files @once. Check if this is the case, sinceI have the same problem,am looking for a way to have One and the same song in more playlists but only keep the song once on the IPOD.

  • All field lables for PCUI screens in Portal is displayed with Vertical bar

    Hi Group,

      can somebody tell me how i can get rid of that vertical bar from all Fields. let me know if there is any SAP Note available for this?

    Hi Siva,
    The default behaviour of Top Level Navigation is if there are lot of items in it, it tends to bring a scroll bar to scroll across the items.
    Did you tried reducing the font size of the TLN items in the themes, so that they can try and fit in the page without scroll bar appearing.
    Otherwise you can consider having hover menu, which will display all items on hovering the parent node. Have a look at the blog for more information

  • Cannot unlock phone swipe to unlock wont work can only swipe up for control pannel and camera but no buttons will work cant even turn off and on as it wont work

    iPhone 4S. Swipe to unlock wont work can only swipe up for control pannel and camera but no buttons will work cant even turn off and on as it wont work. cannot restore iphone either as it wont let me.

    Hey Angus97,
    These are the recommended troubleshooting steps to take when you are unable to Slide to Unlock:
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,  or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).

    I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Air running Lion, from my 2007 white Macbook running Snow Leopard.  I had Office for Mac 2004 on the 2007, but had to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 to be compatible with Lion on the Air.  Now when I try to open my documents on the Air that were saved under Office 2004 on the old computer, I get the following message: Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,  or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).
    Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    Ha,ha,ha.....I figured it out.  But for anyone else who's having this problem, it seems that while Office 2004 allowed dates in this format: 00/00/00, Office 2011 doesn't like it at all.  I just changed the format in the document names to 00-00-00 and all is well.  Documents are opening beautifully! 

  • Why the download page for any site cannot to appear????it appear black page only?????

    why the download page using safari cannot to open???it just appear black page only...for example, i wanna to download any product (dmg) but i couldn't.. why????????

    If the patch level of the browser is not exposed to the website, the website should probably not claim that I'm running the latest version, since it cannot know for sure. Often patch level updates are security updates and those are the most critical ones (I can skip new features for ages, no problem, but a big security hole needs to be fixed ASAP). I'm tech-savvy enough to click on "Download a fresh copy", because I know what I'm doing and I know the page is wrong, but don't expect my mother to that ("But the page said, I am already running the latest version...").
    The auto updater doesn't work because all apps I install on my Mac have root:wheel ownership (just like when installing apps from the Ma AppStore or those that ship as part of the system) and nobody but root:wheel has write permissions to the app bundle. This is actually standard for programs on any Linux system I know, why should I go with less security on my Mac?
    This is no problem for AppStore apps (Apple updates those with a daemon running with root privileges) and this is also no problem for apps updating with Sparkle (after downloading and verifying the update, they will prompt for an admin password and then perform the actually file changes with root privileges), but Fx has no such mechanism. It will just try to update and fail because of insufficient privileges.
