How to check the length of a field symbol value

hi all,
i have a problem with string function, i have assined table fields to a field symbol in a loop i want check the length of the assigned fields symbol value in every loop . i have written like ,,,,,len = strlen( <fs>). then i am getting the length of the field label what i ahve assigned to fiels symbol not the field value lenght ,
please advise me on this,
thanks,
sre

I think you're on the right track. This should work:
data: len type i.
data: begin of itab OCCURS 1,
        a type string value '1',
        b type string value '12',
        c type string value '123',
      end of itab.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> type ANY.
do 3 times.
assign component sy-index of STRUCTURE itab to <fs>.
len = strlen( <fs> ).
enddo.

How to restrict the length of input field

Hi,
How to restrict the length of input field. That is we should not be able to enter more thatn 10 charecters.
Regards,
H.V.Swathi

Hi swathi,
For this you have to create a simple data type. No need of writing a code.
Go to Dictionaries -> Local Dictionary -> Data Type - > Simple Type - > Right click and "Create Simple Type".
Here you should create a Simple type with String as built-in Type. Here you will also see the Length Constraints option.
Set the value of maximum length and minimum length. In your case set the value of maximum length to 10. At runtime this will not allow the user to enter more than 10 characters.
Now create an attribute and bind it to this newly created simple type. Bind the value of the input field with this particular attribute.

How to get the length of a field.

Hi all,
I m working on dynamic internal table.There is a need to get the length of a field, filled dynamically.How can we get it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Swati garg

Swati,
DATA: text(8) TYPE c,
      len TYPE i.
DESCRIBE FIELD text LENGTH len IN CHARACTER MODE.
Field LEN contains the value 8.
================================
For ouput length :
DATA: float TYPE f,
      out TYPE i,
      len TYPE i.
DESCRIBE FIELD float LENGTH len OUTPUT-LENGTH out.
This example results in the field LEN containing the value 8, while the field OUT contains the value 22.

How to get the length of a field value, not the length of DB's CHAR(20)

Hello.
I'm trying to handle a String from my DataBase and get its length:
String myName;
int i;
PreparedStatement sql = Conn.prepareStatement("SELECT NAME FROM MY_TABLE");
ResultSet results = sql.executeQuery();
results.next();
myName = results.getString("NAME");
i = myName.length();
out.println("The value is " + myName + " and the length is " + String.valueOf(i) );
I get:
" The value is Tom and the lengh is 20 "
20 is the length of the field (it's a CHAR (20) ), but I would like to get the length
of 'Tom'.
On other hand, I would like to detect if this value is 'Tom' or not, but trying with:
if (myName.equals("Tom")) {...}
or
if (myName == "Tom") {...}
There is no response.
Any experience?

myName = results.getString("NAME");
if(myName!=null) myName = myName.trim(); //Take out trailing spaces
i = myName.length();Sudha

How to check the sql:query is return null value

I have use :
<sql:query var="sql1" dataSource="${db}">
select col_name from table_name
where a=<c:out value="${row.test1}"/>
and b='<c:out value="${row.test2}"/>'
</sql:query>
So, how can I check this statement return null value which is no record within this table?

The Result should never be null but can be empty. You can check if the Result is empty using an if tag and checking the rowCount property:
    <sql:query var="books"
      sql="select * from PUBLIC.books where id = ?" >
      <sql:param value="${bookId}" />
    </sql:query>
     <c:if test="${books.rowCount > 0}">
     </c:if>http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JSTL7.html#wp84217
Look for query Tag Result Interface

How to copy the structure of a Field Symbol?

Hi,
          I have a requirement where in a dynamic Internal table is supposed to be created. I have created that dynamic table using the class method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table. Here I have a structure in the field symbol. My requirement is how do I create a internal table with the structure that is there in the field symbol?...
and i'm unable to refer to the field that is dynamically created in the field symbol.
Like,
<gfs_tab>-pernr = itab-pernr.
in the above stmt the field pernr is created in the field symbol dynamically.
Thanks,
Deepak.

Hi Matt,
            my objective is to create an internal table with structure that i have obtained in <gfs_tab> .
other than the pernr, there are many fields dynamically generated.
say if I have generated the following structure in <gfs_tab> :
pernr            ename1            day1             day2                 day3
then I want to create an internal table with the above structure so that my internal table will have fields:
1) pernr
2) ename1
3) day1
4) day2
5) day3
for each execution of the report there will be different structure generated in <gfs_tab> depending upon the inputs that I give.
Thanks,
Deepak.

How to change the lenth of existing field in sap standard table

Hi all,
can anybody help,my requirement is, how to change the length of existing field in sap standard table....
thanks in advance..

Which field are you thinking of in particular? Are you wanting to increase or decrease the length?
Some fields are used so extensively that a change to their length will mean adjusting many tables, some of them potentially very large, and hence taking a long time to adjust.
Some standard SAP programs expect certain fields to be of specific lengths and won't work if the length is changed.
Some screens could cease to work.
If you decrease length, then you could lose data.

How to Increase the Length of Condition table in OV20

While creating a condition table in T.code OV20 if fields length is more that 50 bytes table is not getting generated.it gives error as Too Many Fields Selected(More than 50 Bytes).
Actually i need to create a tabel with Basic Material(WRKST) which has length of 48 bytes.
Is there a solution on how to increase the length so that error is avoided.
There is no such error occuring while crating condition table in V/03

Hi,
You can try to use the type string:
form like zscr_data_hdr-form,
werks like zscr_data_hdr-werks,
matnr like zscr_data_hdr-matnr,
verid like zscr_data_hdr-verid,
lot like zscr_data_hdr-lot,
lot_qty like zscr_data_hdr-lot_qty,
udate like zscr_data_hdr-udate,
utime like zscr_data_hdr-utime,
zuser like zscr_data_hdr-zuser,
processed like zscr_data_hdr-processed,
defect like zscr_defect_data-defect,
vornr like zscr_route_data-vornr,
fieldxx type string,
dayst like zscr_data_hdr-dayst,
end of t_data.
So you can save you informations of every fld<n> concatenating their values into fieldxx.

How to increase the length of description

Dear Guru's
we want to increase the length of Decription field in thBOM Item line 1 item line 2.can we increase the length.presently its having 40 characters capacity.
Thanks & Rgds
Pankaj Agarwal

1.I dont think this is possible as this is a standard SAP requriement.
2.check the data eleaement -which has the 40 as character lenth.
so it is not recomended to change it.
Solution
3.You can use the ItemLongTEXT - which doesnt have any restriction in the lenght.
so dont change the standard setting use the itmelONGTEXT this should solve ur issue

         fld130         like zscr_defect_data-defect_val,
         fld131         like zscr_defect_data-defect_val,
         fld132         like zscr_defect_data-defect_val,
         fld133         like zscr_defect_data-defect_val,
         fld134         like zscr_defect_data-defect_val,
         fld135         like zscr_defect_data-defect_val,
         dayst         like zscr_data_hdr-dayst,
       end of t_data.
In this fld1 to fld135 are defined in internal table.
But if the number of fields are more than 135 then the program is going to short dump.
Some times fld1 to fid170 or more fields will be there in my internal table.
Please suggest me how to make my requirement dynamic and display this data fetched into this internal table onto a .XLS file in the presentation server ?

Hi
You can try to use the type string:
form like zscr_data_hdr-form,
werks like zscr_data_hdr-werks,
matnr like zscr_data_hdr-matnr,
verid like zscr_data_hdr-verid,
lot like zscr_data_hdr-lot,
lot_qty like zscr_data_hdr-lot_qty,
udate like zscr_data_hdr-udate,
utime like zscr_data_hdr-utime,
zuser like zscr_data_hdr-zuser,
processed like zscr_data_hdr-processed,
defect like zscr_defect_data-defect,
vornr like zscr_route_data-vornr,
fieldxx type string,
dayst like zscr_data_hdr-dayst,
end of t_data.
So you can save you informations of every fld<n> concatenating their values into fieldxx.

How to restrict the length of the input?

Hi all, could any one tell me how to restrict the length of the input string? My SOA Suite is 10.1.3.1
I tried the following; getting an error.
<element name="RestrictLengthProcessRequest">
<simpleType name="SSN">
<restriction base="string">
<length value="10"/>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
where RestrictLengthProcessRequest is the message name of the corresponding .wsdl and SSN is the input whose length is to be restricted.
The error is : 'Attribute name not defined on element simpleType'
Thanks in advance.

Hi swathi,
For this you have to create a simple data type. No need of writing a code.
Go to Dictionaries -> Local Dictionary -> Data Type - > Simple Type - > Right click and "Create Simple Type".
Here you should create a Simple type with String as built-in Type. Here you will also see the Length Constraints option.
Set the value of maximum length and minimum length. In your case set the value of maximum length to 10. At runtime this will not allow the user to enter more than 10 characters.
Now create an attribute and bind it to this newly created simple type. Bind the value of the input field with this particular attribute.

How To Increase the Size of Memo Fields 4000 Char in WebCenter 11g?

How To Increase the Size of Memo Fields greater than 4000 Char in WebCenter Content (UCM) 11g?
I was able to increase the size of Memo field from 2000 Char to 4000 by setting parameter value MEMOFIELDSIZE=4000 . But the requirement is to increase the size more than 4000 around 7000 char but Database(Oracle 11G) is not supporting more than 4000 char.
Is there any other way to increase the size of Memo field?
Thanks in Advance!!

Hello All,
Thanks for your responses.
Let me explain the scenario again in detail:
1. we have three meta-data fileds xProductCategory,xProductFamily and xProducts
2. These fields are related with DCL feature and corresponding values are being stored in corresponding custom Views
3. xProducFamily is dependent of xProductCategory and xProduct is dependent on xProductFamily
4. currently, there are around 250 Product values and average name of Product can be of 25 Char, so if we are selecting all product values for some Contents then Product Values are being stored in DocMeta table as comma separated values with one space, so total characters are being very high than 4K Char.
5. Currently view that is storing the Product values, stores "Name" column instead of ID(like 1,2,3....)
6. And our Content Server is integrated with Oracle WebSenter Portal, where logic has written to retrieve the contents based on "Product Name" instead of "Product ID" and already we are in UAT phase.Currently we are not in situation to revert the changes from Product Name to Product ID.
7. Also if we are storing the values on the basis of Product ID, then again the issue may arise in Future, if the number of Products increased.
Hoping the issue explanation is clear now and waiting for some possible solution for increasing the length of memo field.
Thanks in Advance !!

How to check the value in Table CDPOS

Mostly I can't see the following fields value in the table CDPOS,
(1) CDPOS-VALUE_NEW
(2) CDPOS-VALUE_OLD
In fact, it should have values, so how to check the values, is there any special method needed?
Thanks and best regards.

Ferry Lianto,
Thank you very much for your expertise.
It's helpful to get some contents via FM:CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS, the problem is, to some kind of DELETION operation, the log in table CDPOS is very simple, I still don't know which contents were deleted even though I found records in table CDPOS.
Is there any other suggestions?
Thanks and best regards.
