Max length of Dropdown list value

Hello,
I wanted to know the maximum length that a dropdown list value can have in an offline Adobe form. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rohini.

Hi,
Its always better to keep the no: of values in the drop down to hundreds.
If you are running to 1000's, go for some other options like asking the user to enter the value and then do the check for that specific value. Also, usability of the drop down will be worse, if it has more values (just think of you selecting a value from a list of 10000 values - sorted or not).
It may also result in the scroll bar growing so thin that it disappears, do try it out yourselves by increasing the values to about 130000 [:)].
Thanks and Best Regards,
Anto.

Me21n change line item dropdown list value

hi experts,
i have a requirement to automatically remove the aulty po line item when user click on CHECK or SAVE button, i done this by removing the record from ETT[] and POT[] at ENHANCEMENT-POINT mm06ef0p_pruefen_01 SPOTS es_mm06ef0p_pruefen INCLUDE BOUND.
it is working fine except one scenario which is, if the faulty line item is 00020, and the line item dropdown list is selected line item 20, after i removed the record from POT[], it hits abap runtime error. when i check at debugger, it is caused by system will look for line item 00020 ( follow dropdown list value ) but the record is removed, so come to error... it is working fine if the dropdown list is selected line item 10.
so i am looking for a way to change the dropdown list value.
or you all have some other suggestion?
please help... i need it urgently coz i have been solving the problem for 2 weeks....
thanks a lot

Hi,
generally it's not a good idea to delete item without using standard method. You can see one example why it is usually complicated. Maybe I have a workaround for you. You can try to use BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. There is a method CHECK where you get reference to PO header. You can easily get references to your items by calling method GET_ITEMS. So you will perform your check for each item and for wrong items you will call method INVALIDATE. This item will be marked as invalid and it will not be posted. Here I do not know how it will be displayed to user. Maybe the user will have to delete this item manually.
Cheers

Problem in mapping dropdown list values with the queries

hi,
I am building a simple applicaittion of currency conversion.
The scenario :
I have a input form with a dropdown list and a input field to enter the amount
I have created the drop down list with the respective details
Value   Desc
1          dollarToeuro
2          euroTodollar
when the user selects the first option in the drop down list and then enters the value and gives a submit -> the conversion takes place
but evrytime i select the second option --> the application hangs..
i have given a guard condition in the submit action for each if the query as LIKE(@option,"1") OR LIKE(@option,"2") for the respective queries.
Please can someone tell me where i am going wrong???

Vaishali

Hi ,
what is the need of ur gaurd condition there?
and try to run the model without that guard condition.

Dropdown List Value Test For Null || " "

I wrote a pre-sign script to test a for a value in a dropdown list before allowing signature of the document. However I want to test for a value of null in addtion to one space aka " ". I added a value in the dropdown list of " " along with the choices of names so users could erase an accidental selection in this list before they were ready. However when I place the or ( || ) operator in the if statement of the script the script doesn't work. If I remove the || " " statement the script works as it is supposed to. How do I test for this value of " " along with the null test so I don't have to write another if statement?
if (form1.Page3.Author.Reviewed.Admin.rawValue == null || " ")
xfa.event.cancelAction = 1
xfa.host.messageBox("You did not select your name on the dropdown list before trying sign the document .");
else

Your if statement is incomplete. You need to put the test in again for the other value:
if (form1.Page3.Author.Reviewed.Admin.rawValue == null || form1.Page3.Author.Reviewed.Admin.rawValue == " ")

Change image when form dropdown list value is selected

I really thought this would be simpler but I just can't get it working.
I have a submit from from paypal with a dropdown list. The list allows you to select color. I want to change an image on the page to display the appropriate color when the color is selected from the drop down list. So a black image shows up when black is selected, a red when red - etc...
I would be very grateful if someone can share some succinct, browser compatible code. Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
Bill

Thanks so much. I used your info from above and am in the process of creating a product configurator for our products. Do you see any problems/issues etc or ways to make this script better? I don't have most of the images there yet, but if you choose big boy chair and then choose navy/powder/black fabric and most accent colors you should see it working (in FireFox anyway). Not sure why it isn't working in IE. Any ideas?

Populate cc field based on dropdown list values

I know this question has been posted before, but I'm very new at this, and the answers I've found so far are over my head.
I'm trying to create a submit button that will not only e-mail to a specific address, but also carbon copy someone when their name is selected in a drop-down list on the form.
I don't know much about javascript - and that seems to be the way to get this done - but I don't know the syntax or where to enter the JS to get this functionality. The field I am using is called 'Supervisor1', and I've assigned values (e-mail addresses) to each of the names in the drop-down.
Can someone help me get this done?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
this scenario is not covered by the macro, but it's not that complicated to handle.
1. Select the button with the script you generated with the macro.
2. Now wrap the mail function into an if-expression.
This sample checks if var0 or var1 is null.
var var0 = xfa.resolveNode("Formular1.#subform.Dropdown1").rawValue;
var var1 = xfa.resolveNode("Formular1.#subform.Textfield1").rawValue;
if (var0 === null || var1 === null) {
          xfa.host.messageBox("Please select an item from the drop down box first!");
} else {
          event.target.mailDoc({
                    bUI: false,
                    cTo: var1,
                    cCc: var0,
                    cBcc: '',
                    cSubject: 'Testmail',
                    cMsg: 'Hello,\n\nhere is the final form data. \n\nKind regards\nMe'

If / then calculation based on dropdown list value in repeating row

Hello
I am new to Livecycle. I have created a repeating row in a form. The last field in the repeating row is a numeric field that = the product of two previous fields in the row (NumericField1 * Numeric Field2). I also have a DropDownList1 near the beginning of the row (third column) that contains variable categories for that calculation row, e.g. Advertising, Office Supplies, Entertainment. I would like to create numeric fields in the form (perhaps in a footer row?) that contain sums of the subtotals of each row, depending on the category selected in DropDownList1. In other words I need to create a subtotal field for all calculations beginning with the category of Advertising, another for Office Supplies, another for Entertainment.
From what I understand I need to list the variables first, then create an if/then calculation but I am not sure about the steps involved in creating the script.
df

NumericField3 is the name of the field containing the product of NumericField1 * NumericField2. I have created a NumericField8 in the form with the following calculation in FormCalc:
if(Table1.Row.DropDownList1.rawValue == "ADVERTISING") then
sum(Table1.Row[*].NumericField3)
end if
That's not helping. I think I need to designate variables before the if/then script, yes? Would I need to use a resolve command, a getfield command, or . . .? Can anyone help?
Thanks, in advance,

Blank value added to dropdown list in Adobe Interactive forms

Hi,
I see blank value being added to the value list by default to dropdown lists in adobe interactive forms. The real issue is it's being added sometimes as the first value or last value in the drop down list of values which is inconsistent and resulting in Errors sometimes.
Is there a way by which we can control the position of the blank value added by default(SAP or Adobe) to the drop down lists in adobe interactive forms .? Secondly , Is this a SAP or Adobe upgrade issue since we observed this issue only after recent upgrades ...?
I am using HCM processes and forms and I am not adding blank value (space) explicitly in my coding of dropdown list values .
Thanks for your time .
Sankeerth
Edited by: SANKEERTH D on Aug 22, 2011 1:46 PM

Hi Sankeerth,
The Web Dynpro framework generates a blank entry to the value set of the dropdown listbox if the Context attribute bound to the dropdown listbox is "nullable" (see properties of the Context attribute).
The dropdown listboxes of interactive forms will be populated with exactly the same data (value sets) as the "native" Web Dynpro dropdown lisboxes.
For SAP NetWeaver 7 EhP2, there's a Web Dynpro test application (WDR_TEST_ADOBE_ZCI) available, which demonstrates this: Start it and see the dropdown listboxes labeled "Datatype" and "Datatype (nullable)": Both are bound to Context attributes which are of type DATATYPE_D. The only difference is that one of the attributes is "nullable". The dropdown listbox bound to the nullable attribute contains the additional blank entry.
Watch the native Web Dynpro dropdown listboxes below the interactive form: They are bound to the same Context attributes and contain the same value sets as the dropdown listboxes of the interactive form!

Ralf

Dropdown list in Subform

Hi There,
I am facing problem in Dropdown lists in Subforms.
I want the region dropdown list values according to country (only for DE) dropdown list value. Both Dropdown lists are in a Subform.
For that, I have used this in EXIT event of Country Dropdown list:
if (this.rawValue == "DE Deutschland")
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Schleswig-Holstein","1");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hamburg","2");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Niedersachsen","3);
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bremen","4");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Nordrhein-Westfalen","5");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hessen","6");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Rheinland-Pfalz","7");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Baden-Württemberg","8");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bayern","9");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Saarland","10");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Berlin","11");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Brandenburg","12");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Mecklenburg-Vorpomme","13");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen","14");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen-Anhalt","15");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Thüringen","16");
else
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
It does only change first region dropdownlist value, not others because both dropdown lists are in a Subform.
Other problem is that it works only when All Country Dropdown lists are "DE". Means, first region dropdown list depends upon not only first country dropdown but also other dropdown.
My requirement is, If first country Dropdown is "DE", only first Region Dropdown list should be fill, not others. And so on.
Please provide solution that How can I change all dropdown lists of a Subform dynamically?
Waiting for reply.
Thank you
Chandler Bing

Hi Philip,
You are assigning values only the first row.
data.Daten.Daten.Daten.Data.DropDown.rawValue = data.Daten.Aktion.DropDown.rawValue
You have to use the assignment in loop.
1. check number of rows in the table
2. Assign values in loop
// Use the internal table which you binded to dropdown for getting total rows.
var rows = xfa.resolveNodes("****DropDownSrc.DATA[*]").length;
for ( var i =0; i < norows; i++)
data.Daten.Daten.Daten.Data[i].DropDown.rawValue = data.Daten.Aktion.DropDown.rawValue
Hope i got you correctly

Populating dropdown list from an XML file

Hi!
I want to prepopulate a dropdown list in a form from an XML file.
Typically something like:
A
B
C
Is this the correct way to specify the list's values in XML?
How do I specify the binding property of my dropdown list, to put the values A, B and C into the dropdown list?
I am using Designer 7.0!
Thanks!

Liana,
   You can't do this with Designer 7.0. If you upgrade to Designer 7.1,
you can bind dropdown list values to your xml data using the dynamic
property binding capabilities.
Hope this helps!

Font Size for Dropdown List Box

Hi All,
We are in ECC 6.0 with Integrated ITS. We have a 'Z' EWT transaction with a corresponding service maintained in SICF being executed via ITS and/or Portals.
The problem is that the font sizes for the dropdown list values for all these input fields are very small. The same transaction when run in ECC has no such font issues.
Does anyone have any idea of why that is happening and if the font sizes for these dropdown list fields can be changed or not?
Thanks in Advance
Shounak

Hello Shounak,
If this is in Portals then you may be able to change the size of the font through the Portal Theme Generator.

Dropdown list

Hi Experts,
I'm creating a VC application which has a dropdown list.
I'm dynamically filling dropdown list values.
On execution, I'm getting values(say for example 1,2,3,4,5).
But when I select a value(say 2) from dropdown list, other values are vanished(1,3,4,5).
How to overcome this problem??? Though i select a value i should see other values in the dropdown list.
Envirnment: EP7
Thanks

Custom Sort Order in Dropdown list of translate values

Peoplesoft sorts the dropdown translate values in ascending order by default. I wanted to change the sort order. For example:
The translate values in alphabetic order are:
Andrea
Baluch
Others
Shumi
I want this "Others" as the last value. So the drop down should display like this:
Andrea
Baluch
Shumi
Others

From a document I had created ...
This odd behavior of PeopleTools however can be overridden by implementing a few lines of JavaScript and PeopleCode.
The approach is quite simple and summarized briefly as below:
1.     Concatenate the value-description pairs of the dropdown list into a single string separated by a pipe “|” as delimiter (in case other delimiter is used the script shown below in Step 4 has
to be accordingly modified) in the sequence in which it should be displayed on the page.
2.     While concatenating, make sure to place the value first and then the description, these being separated by the delimiter. Example: “01|”|”January”|”02|”February” …and so on.
3.     Pass this string as a parameter to an HTML definition through a GetHtmlText function. This HTML definition in turn will a have a JavaScript logic to resolve this delimited string into
meaningful value-description pairs and use them to override the intended dropdown list.
Below are the steps in detail:
Step 1:
Find out the html element-id for the dropdown field from the html source-code of the PeopleSoft page from the browser. In HTML, the tag for a dropdown field is <select> </select>
The element-id is set by the id attribute of the <select> tag. This id would be used in Step 5.
Step 2:
Add a field of type Long Character to any work record that you may be using on your page for buttons, hyperlinks, etc.
Step 3:
Add an HTML-Area to the page (preferably alongside the dropdown field which needs need to be sorted). In the properties of the HTML-Area, assign the Record-field used in Step 2 above.
Step 4:
Create a HTML definition from the app-designer and add the below JavaScript code to it and save the definition.
<script>
var j=0;
var str=new String('%bind(:2)');
ar1=str.split("|");
var fld = document.getElementById("%bind(:1)");
fld.options.length = 0;
fld.options[fld.options.length] = new Option('', '');
while (j<ar1.length)
          fld.options[fld.options.length] = new Option(ar1[j+1], ar1[j]);
                j=j+2;
</script>
Step 5:
Write peoplecode on an appropriate event to generate the concatenated string of value-descriptions delimited by a pipe “|”. A pseudocode for the same is shown below. Here the HTML id for the dropdown field and the value-description string are passed as parameters to the JavaScript shown in Step 4; and JavaScript thus created after substitution of the Bind values is assigned to the value of Record.Field used in Step 2 & 3. The location of the below peoplecode may vary depending on the when the dropdown list needs to be sorted.
Local string &strDropdownValues;
&strDropdownValues = "1|" | "January|" | "2|" | "February|" | "3|" | "March|" | "4|" | "April|" | "5|" | "May|" | "6|" | "June";
<Record.Field>.Value = GetHTMLText(<HTML.DPS_DROPDOWN_HTML>, "<DROPDOWN_ID>", &strDropdownValues);

Filtering values in a dropdown list box

Hello Team
In the BSP application CRM_IC, we want a drop down list box to be filled based on the entry selected from another dropdown list box. We have all the entries for the second drop down box in ABAP internal table .However, we do not want a server round trip to happend in doing so. Thus we have used the attribute 'Onclientselect' and we are trying to call a java script function call on this event to filter this ABAP internal table . In this function, we would like to fill the contents of the second dropdown list box after reading the contents of the first dropdown list box. Please advice us as to how this can be achieved. Basically, we observed that ABAP server side script is not executed in the java function.
Thanks
Rony

Rony,
I have used the following technique to synchronize the
contents of two drop down list boxes.
<b>Scenario:</b>
The selection in listbox ddlbxSystemEquipNum, which I
will call "A", determines the contents of listbox
ddlbxModuleEquipNum, which I will call "B".
I use a JavaScript array to shadow the ABAP internal
table containing the possible values for listbox B.
When the page is initially displayed, listbox B is
populated from the ABAP internal table.
When a new selection is made in listbox A, I use the
onClientSelect event to call a JavaScript function,
updateModuleList(), to update the contents of listbox B
from the JavaScript shadow array based on the selected
value in listbox A.
<b>Code Excerpts:</b>
<u>Declare the JavaScript shadow array and listbox B update function</u>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    var moduleArray = new Array();
    function updateModuleList() {
        var selSystem = frmNrg1100.ddlbxSystemEquipNum;
        var selModule = frmNrg1100.ddlbxModuleEquipNum;
        // Get selected system equipment number
        var selected_system =
                selSystem.options[selSystem.selectedIndex].value;
        // Clear module select options
        selModule.options.length = 0;
        // Add module select options for the selected system
        var j = 0;
        for (var k = 0; k < moduleArray.length; k++) {
            if ( (selected_system == moduleArray[k].system) ||
                                     moduleArray[k].system == "") {
                selModule.options[j++] = new Option(moduleArray[k].text,
                               moduleArray[k].value,
                               moduleArray[k].selected) ;
</script>
<u>Specify the onClientSelect event handler on list box A</u>
<htmlb:dropdownListBox
    id = "ddlbxSystemEquipNum"
    width      = "400"
    onClientSelect = "updateModuleList()"

        wa_module_options-selected = selected.

How to create a dropdown list to list the values from two different tables?

Hi,
I have the following requirement:
1. I have to create a dropdown list to display all the values from the second column of a table.
2. Another dropdown list to display all the values from the second column of another table.
3. A text box should help me to add the selected values.
How to get this done in a PDF? Please help.
Regards,
Latha

Is this a LC form? Because Acrobat forms have no concept of tables, just
individual fields...
