Problem with Enumerated drop-down values in Adobe Forms (WD java)

Hi All,
have a scenario where, I have to fill in a dropdown dynamically when I click a button. I get the values from a function module. I have done this using Isimpletypemodifiablestep. It worked.I have the form too. But when I try to re-implement the same its working only if I give the values during initialisation .
Why is this inconsistent?
Can we modify Simple types only during initialization? I have tried to add the values to the drop-down in controller and map the attribute to view. Even that didn't work.
I'm

Hi Arafat,
I have tried that already. It didn't work. As of now, I've copied the form thats working into the new project.
But I didn't find a solution for the problem.
Thank you,

Drop down Values in Adobe form

Dear All,
Greetings.
I am using the Adobe interactive form for E Recruitement(copying the standard and changing it as per the requirement). When i am using the Drop down value for one of the field. Instead of the drop down its showing as a POP-UP with all the possible values.
I am not able to predict what the problem is. I need to have a drop down, instead of the pop up.
Please help me in solving the issue.
Thanks

Hi Ram,
Please use a Enumerated Drop down list ffrom the library, seems currently you have Extended Value selctor in your form.
This will hopefully resolve the issue.

Populate Drop down values to Adobe forms

Hello,
I am in the process of developing the HCM forms for PCR's. This is using old technology. How can I pass values to the Adobe forms based on certain condition selected in previous screen. For eg. Based on Position selected, I should have a certain value in Drop down pre-selected on the next screen and when the user does a drop down a list of the values should be listed. Where should do the coding for the subsequent drop down values?
Appropriate points rewarded.
Prasad

Here a change in the question below. Based on Position selected, I should have a certain value in Drop down pre-selected on the next screen from table IT1008
and when job is selected drop down from table T500P should be listed. Does this need to be handled in badi or in the Adove form scripting?
Thanks

How to get prefilled drop down list in Adobe form from WebDynpro context

Hi All,
We all know that we can have dropdown list in webdynpro which can be automatically populated by the context node collection.
How can we have the same functionality in Adobe form drop down list. I tried to bind the node attribute to drop down list in Adobe form but it shows me only first element. I am not able to see all the elements in the dropdown but if I am doing same thing for WebDynpro DropDown list I can see the complete List.
Anybody with Solution?

Hi Ricky
I have started a thread for this problem and got an answer for it already. Unfortunately I did not have the time to check it out yet; have a look over there:

Problems with populating Drop Down List (WD ABAP)

Hi,
I am trying to populate two Drop Down fields CARRID and CONNID (Type Table SPFLI) on an Adobe Interactive Form in a Web Dynpro ABAP Application.
In the WD Context I have a node "Flights" with those attributes.
In the WDDOINIT I populate the Context elements (just for test purposes with all entries of SPFLI).
[code]
DATA:
     node_flights                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
     elem_flights                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
     stru_flights                        TYPE wd_this->element_flights,
     it_flights TYPE TABLE OF spfli.
SELECT carrid connid FROM spfli INTO TABLE it_flights.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <FLIGHTS> via lead selection
   node_flights = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_flights ).
node_flights->bind_table(
    new_items            = it_flights
    set_initial_elements = ABAP_FALSE
[/code]
According to this
Re: adobe form/reader error I bound the element values property of the Enumerated Drop Down List to [code]$record.sap-vhlist.CARRID.item[*][/code], whereas <i>Object Text</i> is "Text" and <i>Object Value</i> is "Key".
Unfortunately the DDLs on the Adobe Form are not populated with the values read from the table. I debugged the application and the values are written to the Context node.
Do you have any further hints?
Best regards,
Robin

Hi,
If you are using WD Java following are steps of filling values in DD Box:
1 Create a simple type in the Dictionary.
2 Create an attribute "CountryNew" in the Context of type created by you.
3 Write following code in the init method of the form:
IWDAttributeInfo countryinfo =
wdContext.nodeEmployee().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("CountryNew");
ISimpleTypeModifiable Country = countryinfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
Country.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
countryValueSet.put("IN", "INDIA");

Drop down values in Adobe print form, WDA.

Hi All,
I would like to know, how we can dynamically display drop down values in an interactive form developed either through report programme or WD ABAP.
I passed an internal table, but it didnt work.
I tried the ISR way, even then i couldnt get much success.
I even tried using the dynamic properties.
As per my understanding, i need to pass the values as index- text pairs and add some script to the field.
Kindly help on the steps i need to follow. Any suggestions are welcomee [:)]. I require to fetch the DDL values from database tables.
Kind Regards,
- anto.

hi,
to populate the dropdown list you can do it...
1). manually or
2). by code
1). <b>manually</b> go to interactive form->edit
     go to Object tab->field tab ->
     you must see something like
     List Items :
     Text     + x
     click on the green + sign...
     it promps you to type. type in the value press enter... and so on...
2) <b>by Code...</b>
    //set up contents of a drop down list dynamically...
    IWDAttributeInfo countryInfo = wdContext.nodeTravelData().getNodeInfo().
            getAttributeInfo().getAttribute("DestinationCountry");
    ISimpleTypeModifiable countryType =
            countryInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
    IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
            countryType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
    countryValueSet.put("1","Germany");
    countryValueSet.put("2","UK");
This will work....

Dynamic drop down list in Adobe forms

I have created a drop down list using enumerated drop down list from webdynpro native tab and binded in the object palette by giving $record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[]* in the list items dynamically.DESCR is the field in the internal table into which i fetched data from the database table .I have written this code in a BADI.I dont know whether my form's display type is activex or native? I am not getting any values in the drop down list.can anybody please tell me what might be missing and how should i know whether my form is ActiveX or Native?
My form is called from portal so i have used BADI to connect portal to form

Hi sarang,
I have done a dynamic drop down list in which DESCR field comes from database table and pops into the drop down dynamically. I was working for a PCR scenario so the adobe form was called from portal.I will tell u all the required steps.It might work for u as it is working for me:
1.In the form:
I used two elements from library first is a "ENUMERATED DROP DOWN LIST NO SELECT" from web-dynpro native tab and second is "ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE" from ISR controls tab.Place them one on other inthe form.
For drop down list the setting are:
     In object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS put :$record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*].in ITEMS TEXT write text in ITEMS KEY write key.
     In binding,in default binding put $record.DESCR.DATA[*].FIELD.
For text element the settings are:
     In binding,default binding put Normal.
     when we select ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE it automatically comes with calculated read only int he value tab.so open script editor and place the below code:
$record.DESCR.DATA.FIELD (in calculate).
2.Now the code in BADI is as follows:
In BADI we have to write the code for drop down list in the METHOD "SCENARIO_SET_ADDITIONAL_VALUES"
As i didnt change the standard BADI i added an enhancement spot in which i wrote a function module which fills ADDITIONAL_DATA. and the below code fills the ADDITIONAL_DATA .
DATA: t_t572b TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t572b WITH HEADER LINE,
        t_t554t TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t554t WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM t572b INTO TABLE t_t572b WHERE sprsl EQ 'E'.
CLEAR ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
LOOP AT t_t572b.
    ADD 1 TO ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_KEY'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descd.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_LABEL'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descr.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    CLEAR t_t572b.
ENDLOOP.
For DESCR field the we have to declare DESCR_KEY and DESCR_LABEL in the place holders for key values and palce holders for default values in characteristics tab(where all the fields for the form are defined) of ur respective scenario.(where ur pcr scenario is defined)
Hope ur problem got resolved.
Please let me know if any doubts.
If ur form is not called from portal and u want a dynamic drop down list the difference is put a data drop down list and in object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS select the field into which u populated the data from the database table (this code shud be written in code Initialization in the respective interface) and in ITEMS TEXT put $ in ITEMS KEY put $.and in binding as we normally do bind it to the respective field in which the data is populated from database table.
It should work.

Drop down list in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
Any idea????
Thanks,
Prakash Pandey

Hi ,
Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
Hope my explanation makes sense
Thanks !

Populating Drop-down List in Interactive Forms for Java

Hi,all
I need to populate a drop-down list in Interactive Form.
I tried to do it by using Dynamic Properties of the drop-down
list,but didn't give nothing.At the same time I have successfully
populated a simple drop-down list(on webdynpro view),which I
replaced near my InteractiveForm.
What may be the problem?
Regards,
Michael

Use the DDL from the Web Dynpro pallette. Bind the same/ similar attribute of the DDL you used in the web Dynpro view in the interactive form also... this should work..
Thanks and Regards,

Populating values to drop down list in Adobe Forms

Hi,
We have added a drop down list in our adobe form. Our requirement is Payment Terms should be displayed in this drop down list. We tried by adding values to drop down list in object palette window by using '+' sign. But now we want to display values dynamically from table T052U. We need to bring two fields ZTERM and TEXT1. We don't want to use database connection, just from a table as an importing parameter it should be appended to this list.
Atpresent, we don't want to use webdynpro or java for getting values.
Please provide suitable answers.

hi,
cretae simple type in data dictionary i don't have any idea to create simple type in adobe forms.

Cascading Select Statements - problem with blank drop-downs

Hello,
I have posted a number of questions about Cascading Select Statements in APEX and though I've received some good information, I still get a blank drop-down when I select the first LOV.
I also found "How to test an On-Demand Process used for AJAX" on the web. Here is the link to the web page:
http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/2006/12/how-to-test-on-demand-process.html
When I try to test the ON-DEMAND Application Process in the Address Bar of my browser by typing the following, I get an error:
http://beta.biztech.net:2020/pls/apex/f?p=4000:0:211233229176642:APPLICATION_PROCESS=CASCADING_SELECT_LIST:::P6_PROJECT_ID:CASCADING_SELECTLIST_ITEM_1
The error I get is:
Unexpected error, unable to find item name at application or page level.
ERR-1002 Unable to find item ID for item "P6_PROJECT_ID" in application "4000".
As perhaps a last ditch effort, I will post all the steps, all the code and a link to my application.
Here is a link you can visit to view my application:
http://beta.biztech.net:2020/pls/apex/f?p=112:1
You can log in with the following ID and Password
ID: tsimkiss
PW: TS92
Here are the steps that I have followed and the code that I have used.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. Create an application process in Shared Components
- On Demand CASCADING_SELECT_LIST - like this:
Process Point: On Demand
Name: CASCADING_SELECT_LIST
TYPE: PL/SQL Anonymous Block
BEGIN
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<select>');
HTP.prn ('<option value="' || 1 || '">' || '- select tasks -' || '</option>');
FOR c IN (SELECT newops.task_name AS task_name,
newops.task_id AS task_id
FROM NEW_OPPORTUNITIES newops
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT pt.task_name AS task_name,
pt.task_id AS task_id
FROM pa_tasks@bizdev pt,
pa.pa_projects_all@bizdev prj
WHERE prj.project_id = pt.project_id
AND prj.project_id =
CASE
WHEN TO_NUMBER(:cascading_selectlist_item_1)=1
THEN prj.project_id
ELSE TO_NUMBER(:cascading_selectlist_item_1)
END)
LOOP
HTP.prn ('<option value="' || c.task_id || '">' || c.task_name || '</option>');
END LOOP;
HTP.prn ('</select>');
END;
2. Create an application item in Shared Components:
Name: CASCADING_SELECTLIST_ITEM_1
3. Create an LOV in Shared Components
- This is the Primary LOV (name it similar to it's select list page item):
List of Values Name: PROJECT_ID
Source: Lists of Values Query
SELECT newops.CLIENT AS project_name, newops.PROJECT_ID AS project_id FROM NEW_OPPORTUNITIES newops
UNION
SELECT ppa.NAME AS project_name, ppa.PROJECT_ID AS project_id FROM pa.pa_projects_all@bizdev ppa
WHERE ppa.project_status_code='APPROVED'
AND (ppa.COMPLETION_DATE IS NULL or ppa.completion_date > sysdate)
AND (ppa.CLOSED_DATE IS NULL or ppa.closed_date > sysdate)
ORDER BY project_name asc
4. Create a javascript and put it in the header of the page where cascading drop-downs are:
<script>
function get_select_list_xml(pThis,pSelect){
var l_Return = null;
var l_Select = html_GetElement(pSelect);
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,
'APPLICATION_PROCESS=CASCADING_SELECT_LIST',0);
get.add('CASCADING_SELECTLIST_ITEM_1',pThis.value);
gReturn = get.get('XML');
if(gReturn && l_Select){
var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("option").length;
l_Select.length = 0;
for(var i=0;i<l_Count;i++){
var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("option");
appendToSelect(l_Select, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'),
l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue)
get = null;
function appendToSelect(pSelect, pValue, pContent) {
var l_Opt = document.createElement("option");
l_Opt.value = pValue;
if(document.all){
pSelect.options.add(l_Opt);
l_Opt.innerText = pContent;
}else{
l_Opt.appendChild(document.createTextNode(pContent));
pSelect.appendChild(l_Opt);
</script>
5. Create two Select List page items:
P6_PROJECT_ID <-- This is the primary drop-down
P6_TASK_ID <-- This is the secondary drop-down
6. In your primary select list, put the following into HTML Form Element Attributes:
HTML Form Element Attributes: onchange="get_select_list_xml(this,'P6_TASK_ID')"
Other settings on the page:
Name: P6_PROJECT_ID
Display As: Select List
Source Used: Always, replacing any existing values in session state
Source Type: Database Column
Source value or expression: PROJECT_ID
Named LOV: PROJECT_ID <--- Choose from drop-down (this is the Application LOV created earlier)
Null display values: - select project -
Display Null: Yes
7. The second select list is based on an LOV and depends on the value of the first select list:
Name: P6_TASK_ID
Display As: Select List
Source Used: Always, replacing any existing values in session state
Source Type: Database Column
Source value or expression: TASK_ID
Null display values: - select project -
Display Null: Yes
List of values definition:
SELECT newops.task_name AS task_name,
newops.task_id AS task_id
FROM NEW_OPPORTUNITIES newops
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT pt.task_name AS task_name,
pt.task_id AS task_id
FROM pa_tasks@bizdev pt,
pa.pa_projects_all@bizdev prj
WHERE prj.project_id=pt.project_id
AND prj.project_id=:P6_PROJECT_ID
ORDER BY task_name asc
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you need an actual running copy of my application, I'm not sure I can upload to the Oracle APEX website since uses datalinks to some tables. If necessary, I will give you my login into if you email me directly, however.
If someone could just straighten my code out especially on the ON-DEMAND Application Process, I think that would really help me out.
Hope someone out there can help me.
Thanks
LEH

Sorry, looking at your code that testing URL is still incorrect. You should be passing name / value pairs in the last arguments, and your passing P6_PROJECT_ID as the name part and CASCADING_SELECTLIST_1 as the value part. In your application process you are using CASCADING_SELECTLIST_1 as the parent ID for the P6_TASK_ID dropdown, so it is this name / value pair that you'll need to test. So your URL should look something like this...
http://beta.biztech.net:2020/pls/apex/f?p=112:0:211233229176642:APPLICATION_PROCESS=CASCADING_SELECT_LIST:::CASCADING_SELECTLIST_ITEM_1:[some project id]
(Note: Where [some project id] should be an ID for a project in your database, that has tasks.)
And I'm with Dan here, I still can't access that link you provided. apex.oracle.com should be your next move if you can't resolve it, as you've got at least two people willing to go and have a look at your code.
Hope it helps,
Anthony.

Problem with InputRender drop down lists

Basically, everytime i go through a particualar .particular, which initializes several View Objects for displaying various information to the system's user, in all my other .jsp forms, all the drop down lists that i create, loose all the data they should have displayed but one. That is, if they were to display 5 choices, they display only one of them.
Clearly this is something nobody wants, and i was wondering if anyone has come across this before and if yes, then what would you recommend to me to do?
Cheers for all you help

Make sure you upload your spry css file too.
