How do I insert a form feed character in my XSLT?

I need to finish a transformation with a form feed character and when I use  I get an invalid character exception. 
 works OK so I guess the syntax is in the correct form but how do I use it for a form feed character (page break)?

If you know the decimal unicode value for the character you want (which for ASCII characters is the same as the ASCII code for it), just use:
<xsl:text>&#NNNN;</xsl:text>
where NNNN is the decimal number. For example, in insert a tab character (number 8), just do:
<xsl:text></xsl:text>
If you only know the value in hex, you can use the syntax:
<xsl:text>&#xHHHH;</xsl:text>
Where HHHH is the hex value.

Form feed character

hi all,
what is the difference between carriage return(\r) and form feed(\f).

They are different characters. That's like asking what is the difference between A and F.
However in ancient times when they were used to control printers, carriage return would move the print position to the beginning of the line, and form feed would move it to the top of the next page.

How can i insert an ical feed to my Sharepoint calendar overlay?

Hi
I'm looking for a way I can add an ical feed from our booking software to a Sharepoint calendar so that I can overlay it with our resource calendar. I can add an internet calendar to Outlook but I can't seem to find a way to add the live ical feed
to a Sharepoint calendar.
I found a very useful link on code project dot com called "Insert iCal Events into Sharepoint Calendar" but it only works when you can load from a file not a live rss feed. The feed from our booking software is along the lines of webcal://company.checkfront.co.uk/view/bookings/ics/?id=bbbaac1e16263a6e99189d686147e35a1f890d9dd48f7895c452871a2c6f1e48
Any ideas would be most appreciated,
Thanks
Emma

Unfortunately, there is no way to directly import a .ics calendar into your SharePoint calendar. What you could do is import that calendar into Outlook and then set up a synchronization between SharePoint and Outlook and then you will have access to the
calendar in SharePoint.
or
May be you can add it to a calendar using below and then add that calendar to overlay

How to hide the Form Feed char in JTextArea

We have reports (written in C) that are being displayed in a JTextArea.
In our old app, the Form Feed character (ASCII 12) was invisible naturally without having to code around it. In a JTextArea, it appears as a "[]" character. Does anyone know how to make this character invisible to the JTextArea? Removing it is not an option, as it is needed for it's print routine.
I've been searching these forums and the web all morning with no luck.

Not sure how the Form Feed character worksIt lets the printer know that a new page is to be started at that point.
Does it always appear with the New Line character?Usually but not always.
Thanks for the reply. It's more involved than just printing standard lines of text, so perhaps I should have been more clear.
The C report already has pagination built in from when it was run from our legacy GUI. In other words, each report knows how many chars wide and how many lines down each page will be. It is different for each report, but they all hover around 150 chars wide and 60 lines down per page, since they are all presented to the user (and printed) in landscape.
In the C code: at the end of each report line a "\n" is appended. At the end of each page, an ASCII 12 character is appended. A header is at the top of each page (different for each report, but usually 2 or 3 lines) that shows the page # and other info.
So, as you are viewing the report, you would see page 1 header, some report content, page 2 header, some more report content, page 3 header, etc. as you scroll down.
So now if you view it in Java: if the user wishes to print, the report is sent to our ReportPrinter class, who tokenizes the report based on "\f" and makes a ReportPage object (implements Printable) for each token. Each ReportPage is then appened to a java.awt.print.Book object, who in turn is sent to the PrinterJob.
Given that the report already has his pages figured out and has a form feed char at the end of each page, the report comes in to the JTextArea with [] chars preceding each page header (approximately every 60th line, depending on the report).
I tried using a JTextPane, but no luck. It was also much slower reading in the report. I just want the textpane to not display the non-printable characters ("\f" in this case).

Reg paragraph formant and character format

Hi All,
How to assign particular paragraph formant and character formant for a particular text node that I have created.I know how to create paragraph formats and characters using smartstyles and also I assigned this smartstyle in my smartform to that particular text node,but I am not getting where do I select the paragraph format and character format to assign it to the text node?could you please suggest some body how to do this?
Regards
Mahesh

Select the text you have written in the created text element and on top of the text only there is an option for Paragraph and character formats which will give you the dropdown list with all the paragraphs and character formats u have created. choose the desired one and it will reflect..
OR alternately you can go to the editor and wite the code as in SAP SCRIPTS by providing the Paragraph name or Character name urself.

How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
Regards,
KrishnaKumar S

Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

Sure, sending a BEL character to the console rings the bell, but that has nothing to do with Java. Anyway, I think he meant Java doesn't support the \a escape sequence in string and char literals.

Please explain me how I can use Form feed(\f) and Carriage return(\r)

what is Form feed(\f) and Carriage return(\r)?
Please explain to me.
Thank you.

These control characters aren't used much these days except that if you example a Windows or MSDOS text file in a binary editor you'll find each line ends with "\r\n". However when reading or writing text through classes these carriage returns will be added and removed automatically so your program doesn't see them.
The controlls date back to teletype machines which operated rather like typewriters. Cariage return, as it's name implied, caused the print head to move back to the start of the line, line feed advanced a line (without, necessarilly, returning the carriage) and formfeed skipped to the next page.
Newline on these machines was always "return, linefeed" because executing the carriage return on these machine could take too long. The early machines had only a single character buffer so that they had to executed the characters as quickly as they arrived. So doing the linefeed after the carriage return gave the carriage more time to return. On some teletypes if you did "linefeed, return" then the first character of the new line would often be printed somewhere in the middle of the line.
This is the origin of the MSDOS/Windows end of line sequence.
Many printers will still respect formfeed if printing is direct. Some will take carriage return without linefeed to allow you to start again overprinting the same line.
However printing, these days, is seldom direct but done in bitmap form.

Let's say for example user have to the use the form to enter all 10 items or few like 5 on their stock form into 4 different textbox field each lines of your form, however these items go into a "Stock_table" under Single insert transaction query when submit button is pressed.
Please anyone help me out, on how to get this concept started.

Hello,
I have a way to do this, but it would take some hand coding on your part. If you feel comfortable hand writing php code and doing manual database calls, specificaly database INSERT calls you should be fine.
Create a custom form using the ADDT Custom Form Wizard that has all the rows and fields you need. This may take a bit if you are adding the ability for up to 20 rows, as per your diagram of the form area. The nice thing about using ADDT to create the form is that you can setup the form validation at the same time. Leave the last step in the Custom Form Wizard blank. You can add a custom database call here, but I would leave it blank.
Next, under ADDT's Forms Server Behaviors, select Custom Trigger. At the Basic tab, you enter your custom php code that will be executed. Here you are going to want to put your code that will check if a value has been entered in the form and then do a database INSERT operation on the Stock_table with that row. The advanced tab lets you set the order of operations and the name of the Custom Trigger. By default, it is set to AFTER. This means that the Custom Trigger will get executed AFTER the form data is processed by the Custom Form Transaction.
I usually just enter TEST into the "Basic" tab of the Custom Trigger. Then set my order of operations in the "Advanced" tab and close the Custom Trigger. Then I go to the code view for that page in Dreamweaver and find the Custom Trigger function and edit the code manually. It's much easier this way because the Custom Trigger wizard does not show you formatting on the code, and you don't have to keep opening the Wizard to edit and test your code.
Your going to have to have the Custom Trigger fuction do a test on the submitted form data. If data is present, then INSERT into database. Here's a basic example of what you need to do:
In your code view, the Custom Trigger will look something like this:
function Trigger_Custom(&$tNG) {
if($tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1")) {
$item1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1");
$textbox1_1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_1");
$textbox1_2 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_2");
$textbox1_3 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$date1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$queryAdd = "INSERT INTO Stock_table
(item, Qty_In, Qty_Out, Balance, Date) VALUES($item1, $textbox1_1, $textbox1_2, $textbox1_3, $date1)"
$result = mysql_query($queryAdd) or die(mysql_error());
This code checks to see if the form input field named Item_1 is set. If so, then get the rest of the values for the first item and insert them into the database. You would need to do this for each row in your form. So the if you let the customer add 20 rows, you would need to check 20 times to see if the data is there or write the code so that it stops once it encounters an empty Item field. To exit a Custom Trigger, you can return NULL; and it will jump out of the function. You can also throw custom error message out of triggers, but this post is already way to long to get into that.
$tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1") is used to retrieve the value that was set by the form input field named Item_1. This field is named by the Custom Form Wizard when you create your form. You can see what all the input filed names are by looking in the code view for something like:
// Add columns
$customTransaction->addColumn("Item_1", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "Item_1");
There will be one for each field you created with the Custom Form Wizard.
Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way to do what you need. Maybe there is a way, but since none of the experts have responded, I thought I would point you in a direction. You should read all you can about Custom Triggers in the ADDT documentation/help pdf to give you more detailed information about how Custom Triggers work.
Hope this helps.

How to insert Adobe Form Data in the SAP backend?

Hi there,
I am very new to Adobe Forms. I am supposed to come up with a working scenario of inserting few form fields into the SAP backend. Is this done through a BAPI call? Or is there any other way for this to achieve?
I have downloaded trial version of Adobe LifeCycle Designer. But I don't know how to integrate this with the SAP system. Is there anything else that I need to install in my system?
Is there a document on how to configure all the installations for both local machine and the server (if any)?
Please help.....
[I went through the forum for this, but I did not get anything]
Warm regards,
Deepak

hi,
in the livecycle designer under libary tab u have webdynpro tab--->choose submit to sap button and place it in the adobe form ur designing. u can use this button to trigger the code that u have written in webdynpro java.
for eg if u have
a value node details
and under that two value attr fname,lname
import the model (Insertdata---it has two import param fname and lname)u need for updating the data to r3 system.
in the ctrller have a method submit.Here write the code to insert fname and lname into the db.
IPrivateMyForm.IDetailsElement elem = wdContext.nodeDetails().currentDetailsElement();
Insertdata_Input input = new Insertdata_Input();
wdContext.nodeInsertdata_Input().bind(input);
input.setFname(elem.getFname());
input.setLname(elem.getLname());
try
wdContext.currentInsertdata_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
wdContext.nodeOutput().invalidate();
catch (Exception ex)
{ ex.printStackTrace();}
ul bind details to the datasource.
when u edit ur interactive ui element these attr(fname and lname) vl be visible under dataview tab u can drag and drop them to the form
now add submit to sap button in ur form.
this button correspond to the onactionSubmit dat u have written in the ctrller.
so wen u click this the data vl be inserted

In Font Book OS 10.8.5 how do you insert a character with Font like you could in 10.6

In OS 10.6 I could go >edit>special characters: view glyph, glyph Catalog, Font: <font name> and I would see a table of each character in a font. Then, I could select a character and either drag it to my document or click Insert Font in the lower right hand corner and it would put the character into the document.
How do I do the same thing in OS 10.8.5? How do I insert a character into a document through fontbook or any other manner?

You need to use another app for this, like Ultra Character Map or Popchar.
This should only be necessary if you are using a non-standard font, which may not be a good idea (since there is no guarantee your glyph will be seen by anyone else). If the character exists in Unicode, you should be able to find it in Character Viewer and input via double-click or drag/drop.
If you provide examples of what you need to input, I can perhaps tell you how to find them.

How to set value on MRU insert Tabular Form

This post refers to the forum article found How to set value on MRU insert Tabular Form
I have included the problem and proposed solution below. My problem follows
Problem
Hi,
I am using a Tabular Form. I used the wizard and it created all of the items (Cancel, Submit, Add, Multidelete buttons, etc.). I have a table that is like an FK table. For instance, we could have a customer table, and then a customer address table. Each customer could have multiple addresses. In the address table, the first ID column is the customer ID. So in using the tabular form for the addresses, I need to make the first column the same when I insert. But when I choose add row, everything works fine except it tries to insert a null into customer id. The uniqueness of the row is determined by customer ID and address string.
Any time I make it to this screen, all new rows will have the same ID with I have in a variable that I can reference from the page called :P0_ITM_CUST_ID.
How do I set the first value for all inserts? My guess is I need to do this in Computations. I'm also guessing I need to do this with a replace statement. I'm just not sure how to reference the first column of the new row.
Thanks!
Tim
Solution
The way to do this is by using the "Default" value for that Column. Go to
Home>Application Builder>Application xxx>Page yyy>Report Attributes>Column Attributes
Set the default value for newly added rows as in
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/5758/screenshot012di2.jpg
Hope this helps.
Un-resolved problem
have also tried to do this but the fields I see are not the same.
Please see screenshot=http://krisjones.freewebspace.com/apex.JPG
I am using the Oracle hosted environment, so 2.2.1.
To my knowledge I have done the same as the user in the first post. Am I doing something incorrectly or should I have created the tabular form differently?
Many thanks. Kris

Kristian - You see a different version of the form depending on whether the selected column is the primary key column or not.

How do you insert a submit button into your form?

How do you insert a submit button into a form?

Hi,
The submit button is included automatically. If you are distributing your form as HTML you can use the Test tab to preview your form. If you are distributing your form as PDF, you would need to generate the PDF to see the submit button.

Java file download - form feed

Previously using Windows 2000 with Java 1.3.0. Able to download text files from a customer site direct into Excel via a custom application. The first two characters in the file were Carriage Return and Line Feed. Have now upgraded the workstation to XP and Java 1.5.0.6. The first character in the download from the same source is a Form Feed which Excel does not accept. Tried upgrading to Java 1.5.0.10 - now the custom application will not open Excel. Can download the file into the default browser but the first character is still a Form Feed.
Is this a bug in Java 1.5.0.x or is there a configuration change I need to make to get Java to substitute a CR / LF for the FF????????

This sounds like an application-level problem.
I've never heard of a JVM-level adjustment to automagically turn all formfeeds into line endings.
Contact the developer of the application.
