Help with populating fields

Hi all,
I'm having a little trouble with an if statement and I wondering if you can help. I'm creating a form where I would like text box field A to populate with information from fields B & C, only if fields D & E match. Below is my current statement. The form keeps getting stuck on the first if statement when all cases are true. Is there a way to have the statement continue even after one case is true (i.e. to make a list in text box A)? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
//form1.DCF.Subform3.NSUFACULTY1::click:
if (form1.DCF.Subform3.PIACADEMICUNIT1==form1.FacePage.Subform1.PIACADEMICUNIT1) then
form1.DCF.Subform3.NSUFACULTY1=forms1.FacePage.Subform1.PINAME1
elseif (form1.DCF.Subform3.PIACADEMICUNIT1==form1.FacePage.Subform1.PIACADEMICUNIT1) then
form1.DCP.Subform3.NSUFACULTY1=form1.FacePage.Subform.NAME2
endif

I think you still don't have the full path. Try adding .rawValue to the end of your fieldnames, i.e.:
//form1.DCF.Subform3.NSUFACULTY1::click:
if (form1.DCF.Subform3.PIACADEMICUNIT1.rawValue==form1.FacePage.Subform1.PIACADEMICUNIT1.rawValue) then
form1.DCF.Subform3.NSUFACULTY1.rawValue=form1.FacePage.Subform1.PINAME1.rawValue
elseif (form1.DCF.Subform3.PIACADEMICUNIT1.rawValue==form1.FacePage.Subform1.PIACADEMICUNIT1.rawValue) then
form1.DCP.Subform3.NSUFACULTY1.rawValue=form1.FacePage.Subform.NAME2.rawValue
endif
Also, please double check that the scripting language is set to javascript.

Help with Required fields-PLEASE

I have been attempting to get help with a required field and one of the forum helpers said he got it to work for me but I cannot and I have not been able to get any more responses from him to help me further.
I am attempting to have a radio box when the YES is selected to require another field to be completed. The script I was provided with is:
getField("Location").required = (getField("Group1").value == "Yes");
Location being the field that I require to be filled in if Group 1 is Yes. The previous forum helper indicated that I had to have this script in both fields in Group 1 and when I do that, nothing different happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Please, I need to fix this right away and I will be using this java script on many other forms that I have so I need to get this done soon.
Thank you in advance.

Wht you want can get somewhat complicated. One way to prevent subsequent fields from being used is to set them to read-only and/or hidden. You could then use the Validate event of the text field to validate the entry and enable the subsequent fields if it is filled-in adequately. In general, you should also reset the fields whenever you hide them, so they don't contain potentially invalid data from previously being filled-in. So you could initially have the fields set to be hidden, and only unhide them if No is selected, or if Yes is selected and the required text field is filled-in.
I realize this may not be as helpful as you had hoped for, but I can't suggest specific code without knowing more about the form.

Need help with disabling fields or hiding rows based on previous field

Hi,
I have a report in a region.
The report has five columns:
Animal type_ Health Issues* Angel Grant Requested?* Granted?* Grant Response Date*
Dog Fleas Yes Yes 02/04/2009
Cat Fleas No
The first time the screen is displayed only the Animal type_ Health Issues* Angel Grant Requested?* columns will appear.
The user will make a selection for 'Angel Grant Requested' from the LOV ('YES', 'NO') and then click on the 'Submit' button.
When the screen returns 'Angel Grant Requested?' will be grayed out so the user cannot change the selection. The user will make a selection for 'Granted?' using LOV ('YES, 'NO') and for 'Grant Response Date' using the calendar.
{color:#ff0000}{color:#0000ff}Here is what I want to do...
If the user selects 'NO' for 'Angel Grant Requested?' then I would like to do one of the following (which ever one is easiest to do) when the screen returns:
1. Disable (gray out) the 'Granted?' and 'Grant Response Date' fields on the screen for the rows that have 'NO' for 'Angel Grant Requested?'
so that the user cannot make any selection, AND update the HEALTH_ISSUES table to
set grant_granted = 'N/A'
grant_response_date = sysdate
WHERE animal_issue_type_id = AI_ID;
2. Do not display the rows that have 'NO' for 'Angel Grant Requested?'
{color}
Can you please provide code samples to do this?
{color:#ff0000}*I tried to use javascript to gray out the columns, the problem I have is with the hidden f02 column (Angel Grant Requested) that I created on the report so that javascript could read the value. columns are being disabled as desired but the database table is not updating properly...*
{color:#ff0000}*For the rows where the user selected 'YES' for 'Angel Grant Requested?' we need to update the table with the 'Granted?' and 'Grant Response Date' values. These values are somehow being put on the row where the user selected 'NO' for 'Angel Grant Requested?'.*
This happens in the UPDATE_ISSUES PL/SQL after When :P6_DSP_REQUESTED = 'DSPGRANTED'{color}
Below is the Javascript function that is in HTML HEADER:_

var col3=document.forms[0].f03; /* angel grant granted */
var col4=document.forms[0].f04; /* grant response date */
for (i=0;i<col2.length;i++)
var col2Check = col2+.value; /* read the hidden angel grant requested field */+
+/* checks the hidden angel grant requested field+
if no then we need to disable the angel grant granted field and the angel response date field.
if (col2Check == 'NO')

It's actually three reports that get run during different stages of the screen.
When the user first enters the screen the data is populated from the REQUESTED REPORT sql:
SELECT hit.animal_issue_type_id, at.animal_type_desc, it.issue_type_desc, hit.grant_requested
FROM health_issue_types hit, animal_types at,issue_types it
WHERE hit.animal_type_id = at.animal_type_id
AND hit.issue_type_id = it.issue_type_id
AND hit.file_no = :P6_FILE_NO;
The user will make a selection from the LOV select list (Yes, No) for the grant_requested field and then click on the Submit button.
{color:#ff0000}*If the user selects 'NO' for this field then I want to disable the grant_granted and grant_response_date fields when the screen is populated from the ISSUES REPORT sql. If this cannot be easily done then I would like to hide the entire row when 'NO' has been selected for the grant_requested field.*{color}
When the screen returns the data is populated from the ISSUES REPORT sql:
ISSUES REPORT
SELECT hit.animal_issue_type_id, at.animal_type_desc, it.issue_type_desc, hit.grant_requested,
hit.grant_granted, hit.grant_response_date
FROM health_issue_types hit, animal_types at,issue_types it
WHERE hit.animal_type_id = at.animal_type_id
AND hit.issue_type_id = it.issue_type_id
AND hit.file_no = :P6_FILE_NO;
At this point the grant_requested field will no longer be available for user modification. The user will make a selection from the LOV select list (Yes, No) for the grant_granted, and the grant_response_date fields and then click on the Submit button again.
When the screen returns the data is populated from the ANIMAL DISPLAY ONLY REPORT sql:
ANIMAL DISPLAY ONLY REPORT
SELECT hit.animal_issue_type_id, at.animal_type_desc, it.issue_type_desc, hit.grant_requested,
hit.grant_granted, hit.grant_response_date
FROM health_issue_types hit, animal_types at, issue_types it
WHERE hit.animal_type_id = at.animal_type_id
AND hit.issue_type_id = it.issue_type_id
AND hit.file_no = :P6_FILE_NO;
At this point the grant_requested, grant_granted, and grant_response_date fields will no longer be available for user modification.

Help with formatting fields in PDF...

Hi -
I´m working on a form that should be filled in from the internet...
The design I did i InDesign - and the formfields I did i Acrobat Pro -
and finally I´m finetuning everything in LiveCycle...
I've runned into two problems...
I need the date field to correct itself -
if the user choice to use the wrong format...
for example -
we want to have YYYY-MM-DD
and if the user writes DD MM YY -
it should be accepted and corrected....
is this possible - maybe with JAVA-script?
Also - In Sweden anyway we always write the Social Security number in this way
YYMMDD-NNNN ( N = Numbers between 0-9 )
How can I get the field to recognize and to crave - "demand" this format...
I´ll hope my Swinglish can be understandable?

I suggest that you make use of the Validation patterns for this. On the Object palette there is a Value tab and on that tab is a button for Validation Pattern. You can create a pattern in 4 areas - Display - what the user sees on teh screen, Edit - what the user enters in the field, Validation - what the value entered will be validated against and Data - what is stored in the data file. You will be interested in the Display pattern. Depending on the type of field you will see different data patterns ( i.e. Date fields show date patterns and TextFields have phone numbers, zip codes etc..). You can also create a custom pattern. Have a look in the docs about patterns and you will see what each of the chars represents and how to create one. For your SSN you will probably need javascript because of the combination of Date and number formats.
Hope that helps

Need help with parameter fields and report selection.

Hi all:
I hope some one can help me with the problem I am having with my parameter field and record selection.
First, can anyone explain to me why my parameter field CustStart, which is dynamic and is based on the field Customer in the table CustMaster. There are over 1800 records in the CustMaster table but the drop down list only shows maybe about half of them and there is no way to scroll down to the last customer record. What am I doing wrong?
Second, is there any way to base a parameter field on a formula field on my report? On my report I have created a field Cust that is the customer name and number joined together in one field. I would very much llike to use this formula in my record selection and in my parameter field. Can it be done?
All help is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
FatMan

Hi,
You can use the following for changin increasing the LOV.
Crystal Reports XI BusinessObjects Enterprise XI
For performance reasons, in Crystal Reports XI Release 1 and Release 2 the maximum number of values that are returned for a list of values is set to 1000. If you have a cascading List of Values (for example Country > Region > City), the lowest level (in this case City) will only display a maximum of 1000 values. This means that the higher-level prompts may display far fewer values than you expect. The list of values provides the data for the dynamic parameter list.
How can you modify the maximum number of values available in a dynamic parameter list?
Resolution
To increase the maximum number of values available in a dynamic parameter list, you must add a registry key.
CAUTION     The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys and Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
Crystal Reports XI Release 1
1.     Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
NOTE     Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
2.     Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter. NOTE: The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI, you must specify another value.
NOTE     The higher the number of values is, the longer it will take the Enter Values dialog box to populate with values.
3.      After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
Crystal Reports XI Release 2
1.     Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
NOTE     Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
2.     Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter.
NOTE     The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI, you must specify another value.
3.     After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
I hope this helps you.

Prashant

Need help with a field to increment points

There is a business need to add points for some of our accounts. Example is that if an account is a training account, we need to add 5 points. If the same account has a special program tied to it, it gets another 3 points, so on and so forth..
I need to know what kind of a field I can set up for this to capture the points. It seems the field will need to be a calculated field. However, how can I store the matrix?
Then, we need to run a report to show points by account.
I'm really in need of help here .. not sure how to address this business need.
Thanks,
Anita

Hi !
If you only need a report showing your accounts ordered by points, you'll have to build your report and use the CASE WHEN ... THEN ... ELSE ... END function. If you have for example 3 checkboxes when :
the 1st brings 3 points
the 2nd brings 7 points
the 3rd brings 12 points
You'll have in your report something like :
Column 1 : Account Name
Column 2 : Checkbox1 (CASE WHEN checkbox1 = 'Y' THEN 3 ELSE 0 END)
Column 3 : Checkbox2 (CASE WHEN checkbox2 = 'Y' THEN 7 ELSE 0 END)
Column 4 : Checkbox3 (CASE WHEN checkbox3 = 'Y' THEN 12 ELSE 0 END)
Column 5 : Total (Column 2 + Column 3 + Column 4)
You can easily do the same with picklist values :
CASE WHEN pick1 = 'val1' THEN 3
WHEN pick1 ='val2' THEN 8
ELSE 0 END
And if you need to display a score on the account detail page, I'll suggest to create a web applet displaying a report calculating the score the same way than above, but with the AccountId as parameter.
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Need help with string field formula

Post Author: dshallah
CA Forum: Formula
What I am trying to accomplish:
The report has item numbers and each item number has the
potential to be associated with up to three u2018binsu2019. So the fields are u2018item
numberu2019, u2018bin1, u2018bin2u2019 and u2018bin3u2019.
I tried to write a u2018if thenu2019 statement that would only show
records that had a value of less than 1 in each u2018binu2019 field. When I try to
write the statement I get a message that says u2018A string is required hereu2019 and
it highlights the number 1 in my statement. I have a feeling itu2019s because the u2018binu2019
fields are string fields and not number fieldsu2026? So I am not sure the proper
procedure to correct this. Thus help is needed and appreciated.
Here is what I wrote:
if {IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1} < 1 then
{IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}
What is correct way to write a statement that will show me
the zero values in each column of bin fields?
Thanks!

CA Forum: Formula
You must have a non-numeric value in there somewhere - up in the top left of the formula editor window, it'll show you the variables you've passed to the formula, which should help track down what's going on.
You could try and check that the value is a number first by using something like:
if isnull({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}) = false and isnumeric({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}) = false and then "Error - Should be a Number!"
else
if isnumeric({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}) = true and tonumber({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1})<1 then {IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1})

How to retrieve online form with populated fields?

Greetings, SDN members!
I have a WD Java application which embeds an Adobe Interactive Form inside.
There are a couple of fields in this form, which are binded to context, as the PDF form itself (througjh binary pdfSource attribute).
My scenario requires saving the form in KM after user fills out several fields.
I am trying to save the form through an WD action, button to which is placed outside the form itself (regular WD button).
My problem is once I try to save the binary content of the form, it doesn't include the information filled by end users, it only gives me those fields that were populated automatically.
My intuition tells me I should add some script that "updates" the binary content before I save it to KM.
Any ideas?

Hi Ivan,
Hope you have inserted WebDynpro Script from Utilities.
When you do this step some built in javascript gets inserted into the form which enables the communication between WebDynpro and Form through script file "ContainerFoundation_JS".
Please check the following threads as well

Help with Dynamic field replacement

Hi,
This is my problem. I have a table with two columns - PRINT , NAME.
The data in the two columns are : ("My name is <?NAME?>", "Micheal")
In BI Pub, I wrothe the dataset as " select PRINT, NAME from TABLE "
In templete builder, what should I do to get the final output as *" My name is Micheal"*
But I am getting "My name is <?NAME?>" I need to replace "<?NAME?>" with "Micheal". i.e dynamic Merge field replacement with in a field.
Hope I made it clear.....Help would be appreciated. I am a newbie here !!
Edited by: user2899051 on May 12, 2009 7:49 AM

You cannot parse the string as element :)
so , its not possible, you are trying to build the template from DB Table.
<?NAME?> , this syntax will be parsed by tempalte.
If you put it in String in XML. like [ MY Name is "<?NAME?>"] , it will considered as String. and not as a data element to be parsed.
Its not possible.
Instead of doing this,
<ROW>
<PRINT>Letter from</PRINT>
<TOBEPRINTED>1</TOBEPRINTED>
<NAME>Canaopy</NAME>
<ADDRESS> NY</ADDRESS>
</ROW>
- <ROW>
<PRINT>Send letter to </PRINT>
<TOBEPRINTED>2</TOBEPRINTED>
<NAME>Mann</NAME>
<ADDRESS> CA</ADDRESS>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
If you can get the TOBEPRINTED column,
which indicates
what to be printed.
1- name
2- Address
we can write a if statement in template to display based on the value.
But again the position will be a problem, multiple replacement will be a problem
its like, creating the logic of display template in XML.

Help with Date field

Hi, I am having two problems with the date field in a form I developed. 1. One of my date fields is for Date of Birth. When a user enters any year 1929 or earlier, it automatically converts it to 2029. So I cannot enter in anyone 80 years old or older. How do I fix this? 2. When I open the form in my Adobe reader to test it as my users would I am able to use the feature in the date drop down where you click on the white area in-between the arrows at the top and it allows you to quickly get to dates in the early 1900s. For some reason my users who I sent my form to cannot use this feature. The top of their date drop down box is blue. How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance!

For your 1st issue it looks like it might be a bug. If I overtype the year after it has been populated it will hold the right year so to me it is an interpretation of what is being passed by the calendar control.
For the 2nd issue, th edifferent calendar is showing up because they are using older versions of Acrobat/Reader. If you click on the year in the blue header then scrolling controls will appear to the right of the year. You can click the up/down controls to cycle to the correct year.

Help with Date Field properties

I have a problem setting properties for date field. I want date in mm/dd/yy format, that i am able to but I want something like this. When someone enters date as just numbers like 080708, it should automatically make it as 08/07/08.
I tried doing some setting but couldn't find any help appreciated.
thanks

You will need to adjust the validation patterns in the Value tab on the object palette. There are four patterns that you can play with (Display, Edit, Validation and Data). Each pattern will affect the field data at different times. To get access to the patterns click on the Validation Pattern...button. A new dialog will open up with the 4 patterns available to you. The display pattern is how the data will be shown on screen. The edit pattern is how the user will enter the data, the Validation pattern is how the field will be validated and the Data pattern is how the data will appear in the saved XML.
In your case you will want to set a disply pattern of DD/MM/YY and an edit pattern of DDMMYY. This will allow the user to enter 080708 or 08/07/08 and it will display 08/07/08 all of the time.
Hope that helps

Exits are basically the hooks whcih SAP has provided to add your own code. There are two types of Exits:
1. Customer exits: Implemented as Function Modules within z includes. Anybody can change it and no access key is required.
2. User Exit: Implemented as subroutines within includes (any include except y or z includes). You need access for the specific include and then you can any subroutine (user exit) within that Include.
BADIs are the enhanced version of user exits where the same logic is implemented via classes and object (OOP)
Enchancement point is the latest once introduces with ECC6.0 . Not very sure about that but you can change it without any access key.
Please go through the following link which will help you understand the exits in a much better way:

Need help with calculated fields in Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Gurus,
I have an Adobe Interactive form in which i have radio buttons. Upon selecting any of the radio buttons, value in text box should be changed( Calculqated filedS). How i can achieve this?
Regards,
Srini
Moderator message: wrong forum, please post again in Adobe Interactive Forms, but always try yourself before asking.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jul 13, 2010 11:58 AM

Hi Tapan
No, it's working ,with one remark.
I've done a mistake, in the final formula. The logic remain the same! ;)
The calculation values for second column ( COL2 ) are 1,2,3 and not 0,1,2 as I wrote before and as for COL1 are so the formula is
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",1,IF(COL2="YYZ",2,3)
and not
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",0,IF(COL2="YYZ",1,2)
I created also a real example for you, with 2 dif calculation ways . First I created 2 calc_columns for COL1 and COL2 ( CALC_COL1+CALC_COL and after I added both these 2 column , and second way is to calculate directly) .

MS Project 2007 - Help with custom field calculation for grouped by dates view

Hello
I am trying to creat a view that counts number of students in courses (while # Students is a custom field that is filled manually and courses are tasks).
The view should be grouped by Quarters, Months, and weeks (Calculated custom Text fields)
The weeks groups are displayed by the start day of each week.
For example:
The view counts how many students are in courses in a specific week/month/quarter.
This is the group by definition:
Those are the fields calculations:
“WW_Start” field calculation:
(Year([Start]) & " W " & Format([Start],"WW") & " " & "   [" & Datevalue(ProjDateSub([Start],CStr(Weekday([Start])-1),"Standard")) & "]")
“MM” field calculation:
Year([Start]) & " M " & Format([Start],"MM")
Basically it works but it doesn't cover a situation where a course is more then a week.
Lets say that the duration of the task is 12 days, the task should appear on 3 different weeks groups.
But what i did puts the tasks only in the group that shows the first week of the task.
How can i change my calculations or my view so that in the second, and third week of the task it will also show the task and it's attributes.
For example:
- "UV5 ACM" task should also be in W 45 not just W 44.
Anyone has an idea how to do that?
Ofir Marco , MCTS P.Z. Projects

Hi
First, thanks for the comment "nice neat groups" :)
I think you understood correctly what is my issue.
Second, about your question: the class have the same number of students during the course period.
It will have 10 students even if the duration is 1 day or 10 days.
if you look at the basic gantt chart you will see a row like this:
Task name        Duration        Num_Students     Resource names (Instructors)
Course YYY       10d                10
Instructor X
it is an attribute on the task, not the assiment.
When i group by dates (Weeks, months, quarters) or by another field (can be course type for example) i the students are summed in the task summary level for all tasks.
Lets say i group by all the tasks (Classes) that are in the 1st quarter, and lets say for the example that there are 3:
Task 1 --> 5 students
Task 2 --> 10 students
Task 3 --> 7 students
Then, the group by summary should count:
Quarter 1 - 2014:   22 (students)
Task 1 --> 5
Task 2 --> 10
Task 3 --> 7
By the way, it doesn't matter if the version is project 2007,2010, 2013, the logic is the same.
Hope it helps and i'll be glad to have some ideas or evan get examples for solution in a project file by e-mail.
