Help with repeating text field data on subsequent pages

I am very new to adobe live cycle designer. I developed a form and I would like some of the text fields on page 1 to fill automatically with the same information on pages 2 and 3 so the user does not have to be filling out the same information over and over.(The information on the other pages is going to be the same as the one on page 1.
Is there a way to do this? THANKS!
Matty

Thank you so much for your quick response. IT WORKED and you have saved me a lot of time. Are there any books available in the market for those of us who want to get more proficient in the program? I just came from a very well known bookstore and they did not have any.
THANK YOU AGAIN!

Help With TLF Text Fields and UI Scrollbar

I've been trying to get one scrollbar to work with three TLF text fields. They are alligned from top to bottom like a column. It would seem better to just make one text field but because there are graphic symbols in the way that block the text, I made the middle text field smaller then the top, and the bottom smaller then the middle.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the text from the bottom text field to scroll to the top while the text fills the empty space of each text field properly. Is there anyway to make the UI scrollbar work like this? I cant find any info.
thanks,
Daniel

There is no way to do this directly from the authoring environment. You can change the code to another solid color using code.
But you don't sound like you are a coder.
So the best solution for you would be to turn off the back ground and just draw some artwork behind the textfields. Perhaps put it on a different layer so that it is easier to manage.

Repeat Text Field Value on Master page

This might be a really simple question. I have a form with two master pages. The second is applied to all but the first page. On the second master page I have a text field that I populate with user entered data from a text field. I want this value to show on all pages after the first page (page 2 to n). It shows up with the value on page 2, but all the rest have a blank value. Do I need to script something to make it repeat for all pages? Any help would be appreciated.

The simpliest method would be:
Under the Object tab, select Binding, and change the Default Binding to Global. The TextFields you create must have the same name, and Global binding will populate all the fields.

Help with repeating a menu panel on each page

Hi, I am new to designing in Dreamweaver and am working on a site which has about 30 pages. The menu structure has changed since I first created the pages so I'm wondering if there's a simple way of copying the menu code to each page without manually having to open and paste it in.
Thanks very much
Dianella655

If this is something that will change on a regular basis, you should look into Server Side Includes (SSI). Basically it is a file that contains your menu items that is inserted into your page(s). Once all of the pages have this include instead of the way you have it now, when you update this one file, all the pages are updated. Think of it like a picture that you have on all of your pages, if you alter the picture and upload, all the pages show the newer version.

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,
C
SAVING THE LIST DATA TO DB
DATA: L_WA(800).
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
ZDBTAB-DATALEN = STRLEN( L_WA ).
MOVE: L_WA to ZDBTAB-RAWDATA.
ZDBTAB-LINENUM = SY-TABIX.
INSERT ZDBTAB.
READING THE DATA FROM DB
DATA: BEGIN OF T_DATA,
             SEQNR type ZDBTAB-LINENUM,
             DATA type ZDBTAB-RAWDATA,
           END OF T_TAB.
Select the data.
SELECT linenum rawdata from ZDBTAB into table T_DATA
     WHERE repid = w_repname
     AND rundate = w_rundate
     ORDER BY linenum.
Populate calling Internal Table.
LOOP AT T-DATA.
APPEND T_DATA to T_TAB.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

Paging a data table with input text fields

I've created a datatable with input text fields so that contents can be edited. I have 'save' and 'cancel' buttons on the page so that changes can be saved or abandoned. That seems to work fine.
However, I have a problem with paging. If I modify an input text field, page to the next page in the datatable and then page back, the modified input text field reverts to the original entry in the database. Does anyone know how I can preserve this change (without issuing a commit) until the user clicks on the save button?
Here is a snippet of jsp with datatable.
<h:dataTable binding="#{DocTypeDetail.doctypeMetadataTable}" headerClass="list-header" id="doctypeMetadataTable"
rowClasses="list-row-even,list-row-odd" rows="5" style="left: 240px; top: 312px; position: absolute"
value="#{DocTypeDetail.doctypeMetadataTableModel}" var="currentRow">

I know by now you must have figured it out. If not you might want to try keeping the backing bean in session instead of request scope.
Hope that helps,

Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field

Hi,
Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field and also each item's Text field?"
When we enter a invoice we enter a generic text on the Basic Data tab then enter a "+" on each individual line item which in turns defaults to the generic text. Just wanted to know if the check register could draw in the individual line item detail where we can enter text that relates to just that line item. Sort of like the MIR7 draws in the detail for each item.
Kindly help me in full fill the above requirement.
Thanks

How to calcaulate the text field data

hi frnds need help,
how to find difference bet time if i taking the data from texts fields data i.e long text
i called the FM & passed the parameters
of text data but iam gettin answer as zero
i hope ur gettin my point

Hi
You have to use READ_TEXT fun Module to fetch the Long text data by passing the correct paramters like OBJECT,ID,OBJECTNAME and LANGuage fields
see the doc
READ_TEXT
READ_TEXT provides a text for the application program in the specified work areas.
The function module reads the desired text from the text file, the text memory, or the archive. You must fully specify the text using OBJECT, NAME, ID, and LANGUAGE. An internal work area can hold only one text; therefore, generic specifications are not allowed with these options.
After successful reading, the system places header information and text lines into the work areas specified with HEADER and LINES.
If a reference text is used, SAPscript automatically processes the reference chain and provides the text lines found in the text at the end of the chain. If an error occurs, the system leaves the function module and triggers the exception REFERENCE_CHECK.
Function call:
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING CLIENT = SY-MANDT
OBJECT = ?...
NAME = ?...
ID = ?...
LANGUAGE = ?...
ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0
IMPORTING HEADER =
TABLES LINES = ?...
EXCEPTIONS ID =
LANGUAGE =
NAME =
NOT_FOUND =
OBJECT =
REFERENCE_CHECK =
WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE =
Export parameters:
CLIENT
Specify the client under which the text is stored. If you omit this parameter, the system uses the current client as default.
Reference field: SY-MANDT
Default value: SY-MANDT
OBJECT
Enter the name of the text object to which the text is allocated. Table TTXOB contains the valid objects.
Reference field: THEAD-TDOBJECT
NAME
Enter the name of the text module. The name may be up to 70 characters long. Its internal structure depends on the text object used.
Reference field: THEAD-TDNAME
ID
Enter the text ID of the text module. Table TTXID contains the valid text IDs, depending on the text object.
Reference field: THEAD-TDID
LANGUAGE
Enter the language key of the text module. The system accepts only languages that are defined in table T002.
Reference field: THEAD-TDSPRAS
ARCHIVE_HANDLE
If you want to read the text from the archive, you must enter a handle here. The system uses it to access the archive. You can create the handle using the function module ACHIVE_OPEN_FOR_READ.
The value '0' indicates that you do not want to read the text from the archive.
Reference field: SY-TABIX
Default value: 0
Import parameters:
HEADER
If the system finds the desired text, it returns the text header in this parameter.
Structure: THEAD
Table parameters:
LINES
The table contains all text lines that belong to the text read.
Structure: TLINE
Exceptions:
ID
The text ID specified in the parameter ID does not exist in table TTXID. It must be defined there together with the object of the text module.
LANGUAGE
The parameter LANGUAGE contains a language key that does not exist in table T002.
NAME
The parameter NAME contains the name of a text module that does not correspond to the SAPscript conventions.
Possible errors:
The field contains only blanks.
The field contains the invalid characters * or ,.
OBJECT
The parameter OBJECT contains the name of a text object that does not exist in table TTXOB.
NOT_FOUND
The system did not find the specified text module.
REFERENCE_CHECK
The text module to be read has no text lines of its own but refers to the lines of another text module. This reference chain can include several levels. For the current text, the chain is interrupted, that is, one of the text modules referred to in the chain no longer exists.
WRONG_ACCESS_ TO_ARCHIVE
The exception WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE is triggered if an archive is accessed using an incorrect or non-existing archive handle or an incorrect mode (that is, read if the archive is open for writing or vice versa).

Problem with long text field.

Hi all,
I have a problem when I try to concatenate two fields.
It seems the new field only is 254 characters long?
Here is my syntax:
data: w_long_text(1000).
clear w_long_text.
    loop at iline.
      concatenate w_long_text iline-tdline into w_long_text separated by space.
    endloop.
I'm sure the text is longer then 254 becuase I can see the text in an Activity in the Sap Crm system.
Best Regards
Frode

Hi thomas
wat i would suggest you is better take an internal table with long_text(255) field .
data : begin of it_text occurs 0,
            long_text(255),
          end of it_text.
clear : w_long_text,it_text.
loop at iline.
concatenate w_long_text iline-tdline into w_long_text separated by space.
<b>it_text-long_text = iline-tdline.</b>
append it_text.
clear it_text.
endloop.
and when displaying the text keep that in a loop and print it.
This way u can display the whole text irrespective of the char length.

Form Size with one text field 442kb

I started work on a new version of a three page dynamic form because the old version was 1,537kb.
After setting up my new blank master pages (3), I placed a text field on the blank "cover page". The from size went from 12kb to 442kb with one text field. How can one small text field with no caption increase the file size so tremondously. That's a factor of 36! Any suggestions? I am using:
Microsoft Windows 7
Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.6
Livecycle Designer ES2 Version 9.0
FYI: I have read that there exists some tools out there to inspect your pdf/xml and see what objects are increasing your file size. This would be very helpful, however I work for a company that gives very little freedom in downloading unapproved software. So unless there is an Adobe way to inspect for an object and its impact on size, I am in a tough situation. Thank you for your time.
https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=H06NjDMAiTS79khuQCoKKw

Remove the embed fonts feature to reduce your file size:
File > Form Properties > Save Options
Old version file size went from 1,537kb down to 132kb

Hi Sarar2333! Let's get your text tones working again!
Here's a link with instructions how to enable and change your alert sounds for your text/notification settings on your iPhone 4S: http://vz.to/1stiF8a. You can ensure text tones are enabled by selecting a tone in the "Text Tone" setting. Let me know how that works out for you. Thanks!

Linking a select field with a text field in a DW form.....

I did try to search for this but nothing came to my attention. Apologies if it is already in the forum.
Is it possible to have a "select field" link with a "text field"? In other words The select field will provide different venues to choose from, in this case "Blog, Trade Show, Friend, Photo Magazine" and then after the choice is made a text field appears that allows you to provide details re. your choice. For example if you choose "Trade Show" from the select field the text field will then appear and prompt you to detail WHICH Trade Show. Something along those lines. Any assistance will, as always, be appreciated.

You need scripts for this. Try this jQuery tutorial

Alert view with a text field

Hi,
Is it possible on iPhone to create an alert with a text field?
Thanks,
Nava

You can subclass the alert and hack around with it, but in my experience, it would be easier to just write the functionality rather than trying to reuse the alert, but fighting it's built-in functionality.

Problem with validating text field

i want to display error message in text field when it occurs..
plz help me to do it
thanx in advacne

I'm not getting your requirement clearly, by my understanding ... you need to retrieve database whenever a <select> field trigger "onchange" - am I right?
If that is your requirement, it depends on what kind of solution you are looking into?
1. AJAX+Servlet (dojo/jMaki/write your own)
2. Java Server Faces (MyFaces/JSF)
3. write yourself a custom TAG (JSTL) to do the purpose (AJAX+Servlet/purely Servlet)
4. purely JSTL
5 purely Servlet
(please "Google" them by appending "<select> <option>"/ "populate combobox")
Personally I would recommend 1st or 3rd approach, even 2nd approach (MyFaces/JSF) is cool, but if your whole application is not written in JSF, no point to mixed the solutions.
If you want to try Ajax+TAG approach, refer following:
http://ajaxtags.sourceforge.net/
If you wish to use MyFaces approach, please refer following:
http://avatar21.superihost.com/index.php?entry=entry051020-163838
A forth/fifth approach will be much browser-portable, but the amount of coding will be more.
