Ampersand (&) in text passed to OSP
I know this is a stupid question... but our client wants to search based on a free-form text column which may or may not contain ampersands. The OSP reads the text as a parameter and builds the search condition. No problem, but if the text passed contains an ampersand the entire OSP fails and sends an error to the client.
Is there some way to escape or work around this problem? In PL/SQL I can SET DEFINE OFF or SET SCAN OFF and deal with ampersands.
Any ideas?

OSP - Oracle Stored Procedure, called via ODBC passing string parameters. One of the strings contains & (ampersand) which appears to be causing some issues...
Sorry about the acronym, and the ASP page uses ODBC, that is the relevance.

Hello,
When I enter text in eg. a purchase order (me21n) and I use the ampersand character "&" in there in for instance the header text. The text is stored in the table as <(>&<)>. When I request the PO with the BAPI BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL this <(>&<)> is also given as a result in the BAPI.
When I use this BAPI remote i do not want the extra characters around the &. Is there anybody who knows how to avoid these extra characters.
tnx.
EmileHi Emile,
SAP Note 730598 covers this. As you suggested, this is normal behavior because the ampersand is stored in the database with extra characters. The text can be converted from SAPScript to plain text using function module CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII. -
How to get around Ampersand in text field in Select statement
I have an SQL statement I am trying to run in SQL*Plus. In one of my subqueries, I have a select statment in which some of the fields I am trying to pull have an "&" within the text. So, when I try and run the query it returns "Enter value for 35:". I've even tried wildcard characters and it is still not working. If anyone could help me with this, I would appreciate it. Here is a sample of my statement (the subquery is at the bottom of the statement):
select real_case.file_dt, real_case.dscr, pty_cd, first_name, last_name, addr_line1, addr_line2, city, st_cd, zip_cd
from real_case, pty, idnt, ptyaddr s1, addr
where real_case.case_id = pty.case_id
AND pty.idnt_id = idnt.idnt_id
AND pty.case_id = s1.case_id
and pty.seq = s1.seq
and s1.addr_id = addr.addr_id
and (real_case.file_dt >= '01-NOV-06'
and real_case.file_dt <= current_date)
and (real_case.dscr like '79D01-%'
or real_case.dscr like '79C01-%'
or real_case.dscr like '79D02-%')
and (pty.pty_cd like 'DFNDT')
and (s1.ins_dttm in
(select max(s2.ins_dttm) from ptyaddr s2
where s2.case_id = s1.case_id
and s2.seq = s1.seq))
and (real_case.case_id in
(select case_id from ptychrg
where ptychrg.actn_cd IN ('35-41-5-1&35-48-4-1')));Thanks,

'Pass Through' Chapter Select Menu Text
Hi there,
I'm putting together a DVD using the Pass Through theme, but seem to hit a snag with the chapter menus - namely that I can't stop the background text from saying "PASS THROUGH CHAPTERS". Whilst looking very nice, it's not actually what I want.
I've prodded around in every menu I can find, to no avail. Anybody know how to change this?
Thanks!In order to understand the fix, it's useful to understand how the Passthrough theme works (also known as the "Passage Thema" in the Deutsch/German customisation of iDVD). There are three levels in the screens hierarchy for this theme. These are top level, mid level and chapter level.
The background text is in Impact font and inherits its text contents from the foreground text which can normally be edited and modified, re-formatted and (unfortunately) deleted. Other foreground text can be placed on the page also.
If the user deletes the foreground text the background text becomes uneditable. The lowest level pages appear to have no editable foreground text box.
The approach to editing depends on whether
One way to fix this on the chapter/scene selection screens is to download a Hex-Editor for MacOS X such as "HexEdit".
Using HexEdit, open up a backup of the .dvdproj file you are working on. In the Open dialog, navigate to the file and then you will see further internal resources in the file to open. Click into Contents > Resources > ProjectData
Now search (Ctrl-F) for the text "pass through chapters" (assuming this is the irritating text you wish to replace on the scene select page), which will display in the right hand half of the window. Left is hexadecimal, right is the ASCII translation. Use Find and Replace rather than typing directly into either section.
Replace it with the text you want the sub-pages to display. Note this is a tricky move because for some reason the file structure counts the number of characters. Your replacement text must contain exactly the same number of characters as the text you are replacing. (You can pad with spaces at the end if you desire).
Note you'll probably see the word Impact somewhere around here. Adventurous users might find a way to edit the font of the background text mask. I did not, and it might be that the font name has to match exactly your system resources and be the same length as the word "Impact" that it replaces.
Save the dvdproj file once you have finished and have a look.
Limitations of iDVD: Every sub-page has the same background text.
Workaround for the mid-level pages: Add the buttons for the movies to the top level page. Then drop movie assets onto the buttons. Note the buttons inherit the movie names. Edit these. Go into each mid-level sub-page and edit the title there also.
If you want the mid level sub-page background text to be different from the foreground text, then you will need to reduce the editable foreground text until it is insignificant and change its color also. Add a new Text object from the menu and type in the foreground text. This is easier than messing about with HexEdit.
For some reason, I lost the foreground title text for the top level home menu, and also had to employ the HexEdit technique at this level.
Good luck. -
Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement where I need to display the Longtext that is displayed in transaction IW33.
Its is not the KTEXT feild pf table AUFK as this feild contains data upto 40 characters.
My requirement is to fetch all the characters that are in Longtext.
There must be a table where the long text is saved.
Please let me the table ???
Regards,
RajPress Display Text button in front of long text.You will go to editor.Then from the munubar select Go to->Header.Use these header details:
Text Name <Order no.>
Language EN
Text ID KOPF Order header text
Text Object AUFK Order text
Pass this to FM READ_TEXT.You can also refer the tables STXH and STXL but i guess FM will solve your problem. -
Problem in Capturing Item text (BAPI_PO_CREATE1 )
HI Experts
I have a problem with the BAPI BAPI_PO_CREATE1 for PO creation.
When I pass the values to the BAPI and passing Header text in the table I_PO_HEADER_TXT and Item text in the table I_PO_ITEM_TXT.
But after the execution of BAPI I_PO_HEADER_TXT is getting cleared and the same is beiong populated in the table I_PO_ITEM_TXT.
Is there any way to differentiate Item text and Header text??/
Thnks in Advance.
Hari KrishnaHi,
For header texts, pass '00000' as the value to structure field POTEXTHEADER-PO_ITEM.
Read BAPI documentation regarding header & item texts
4. Examples of population of BAPI_PO_CREATE1 interface:
Parameter: POTEXTHEADER
PO_NUMBER
PO_ITEM = 00000
TEXT_ID = F01
TEXT_FORM = *
EXT_LINE = HEADER TEXT
Parameter: POTEXTITEM
PO_NUMBER
PO_ITEM = 00010
TEXT_ID = F05
TEXT_FORM = *
EXT_LINE = ITEM TEXT, ITEM 00010

Passing (byref) String from Java to C++ via JNI
I wish to pass a string to a C++ Dll as a parameter in a function. The problem is that I don't know howto receive back the data after it is filled in the C++ dll. I am trying to do what is called passing parameters by reference.
Java Code:
public class ABKeyBoard {
public native long leerBanda(int pista, String datos);
public static void main(String[] args) {
String datos=new String();
System.loadLibrary("ABKeyBoard");
new ABKeyBoard().leerBanda(1,datos);
System.out.println(datos); //the content of datos here is empty.
C++ Code:
Java_ABKeyBoard_leerBanda(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj,jint pista, jstring datos)
char buffer[2024];
memset(buffer, 0x00, sizeof(buffer));
strcpy(buffer, "xxxx");
datos = env->NewStringUTF(buffer);
return;
Thanks for your help.In java every parameter are always passed by value.
The datos parameter is a local copy of the string
reference you pass to the method.This is wrong. The String passed to the native method is the same String object you use in Java. Although everything is passed by value in Java, what is actually passed by value is the reference to the String. This means that you can modify the object you pass, but you are not allowed to change the reference to point to a totally different object. That is where the problem is coming in.
The trouble is that it is illegal to modify a String, even from native code. If you need to make changes in-place to the text, pass an array of chars (if your native code uses Unicode), an array of bytes (if it uses normal 8-bit characters) or a StringBuffer. You can legally modify any of these data structures with the new data. But the StringBuffer object is the only one whose length can be changed after it is created. Unfortunately it is also the hardest to use from JNI.
Generally I think you should always pass arrays of bytes/chars to native code instead of Strings when possible. They can be modified in place, and you can use String's methods to get a byte-array in the platform's proper encoding. Using the GetStringUTFChars method is problematic because UTF only maps directly onto ASCII in the case of characters which are in the set of 7-bit ASCII characters. Your code will do wrong things if your String happens to contain some other character, unless your native code expects UTF format strings.
The good news is that C(++) functions which return results in their arguments do not ordinarily change the length. So you should be able to allocate a byte[] or char[] ahead of time of the appropriate size (don't forget to add the trailing null, which is not a component of Java strings). I think byte[] or char[] is the best answer because you can easily map those onto C-style arrays with Get[Primitive]ArrayRegion; the return of that is suitable for passing directly to native code, as long as you have remembered the null-terminator. For instance you could do (*env)->GetByteArrayRegion(env, javaArray, 0, arrayLength, CArray) and then your CArray would be changed to point at the contents of the javaArray (note: it does not copy data into CArray, it changes CArray to point at the array contents, so do not allocate memory for CArray first). Then when you do ReleaseByteArrayRegion the results will be propagated back to Java. -
Long Text problem in Process order header
Hi All,
I am using SAVE_TEXT FM to update the header long text in process order.
Also, I am updating the field AUFK-LTEXT = 'E'.
But when i display the order and click on long text, it does not display any thing as the text is not saved.
When I update the text directly in the order using COR2, it gets saved.
Does anyone know why the text is not being saved through FM SAVE_TEXT?
Also tried COMMIT WORK but was not successful.
The paramters I am passing to the FM are
TDOBJECT = 'AUFK'
TDID = 'KOPF'
TDSPRAS = SY-LANGU
TDNAME = sy-mandt+order number with leading zeros.
and the text lines in internal table.
Am I missing anything else here?
Thanks,
SandeepHi Sandeep,
First check table STXH for the order which you saved manually, in order to verify that the values you are passing to the FM SAVE_TEXT are correct.
Also check the documentation which is supplied with this function to determine the INSERT and SAVEMODE_DIRECT values.
Also maybe check function COMMIT_TEXT and its documentation.
Regards,
Robert
PS. also test the scenario in which text s/b added to already existing text. The SAVE_TEXT function wipes out everything and therefore you first should read the existing text (READ_TEXT) to retrieve the current text and save this together with the new text using SAVE_TEXT. (check function group STXD for possible related functions to use).
PPS. Thinking about my comments under PS., I recall now that this was the symptom of the long text passed on through BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE and therefore maybe this is not the case for SAVE_TEXT.

DHi Dylan2412,
According to your description, you'd like to pass the ComboBox.Text to the second form's TextBox.
In Form1:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Form2 f2 = new Form2(this.comboBox1.Text); //pass the comboBox1.Text
f2.Show();
In Form2:
public Form2(string s) //get the string;
InitializeComponent();
this.textBox1.Text = s;
You could get the comBoBox refer to this sample above.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

My 6-month old macbook air's calendar keeps freezing up. when I open calendar, it displays across the top of the calendar some text I copied for another purpose and which I pasted into a word document yesterday. When this happens there's nothing I can do to escape it -- all commands result in the "thud" tone. So I keep having to force quit calendar.

Hai friends,
In my invoice i have 7 line items and some materials are "Duty Paid". For this they are maintaining a text in "Item Text" tab in VF01 transaction for each materials.
I have to print the text one by one in the footer.
How can i do this. How to display the item text.
Thanks.Hi,
Use the Function module READ_TEXT to read the item texts and print them in the footer.
You need to pass paramters to FM Read_text. Go to VF03. go to item texts. Highlight any item texts and click on the display button below. It will take you to the text editor. On that screen Go to-> Header will show the following details.
Text Name 1203832486000140
Language EN
Text ID 0002 Item note
Text Object VBBP Sales Item texts
Pass the same values to the fields of READ_TEXT FM.
TEXTNAME would be the concatenation of salesorder and line item.
Thanks,
