Right Justify string value in Transformation

Hi need help
I have a transform like this.. I need to add 4 spaces before the String "MARKED"
<ns0:dest>
<xsl:value-of select='concat(" ","MARKED")'/>
</ns0:dest>
but I always get result as
<dest>MARKED</dest> instead of <dest> MARKED</dest>
How do I get spaces before string..

If you add them to the end, they disappear too ?
can you try adding string() around the " ","MARKED" and second test around the concat().
don't have a running soa suite installation over here so need to do some guessing

I'm trying to print the working directory (as a subdirectory) so Im wanting to right justify the current directories name, then call the parent Directory and print its name on the left side of it etc....until I get to root directory.
How do I output the String to the terminal in this fashion ?

How to align a String value to the right side inside a table column?

Hi,
I have a text view inside a table column which is mapped to a string attribute. I need to align the text in the text view to the right hand inside the table column. But its always getting aligned towards the left side. I have tried by setting the <b>hAlign</b> property of Element properties of Text View to <b>right / forced right</b> but still the text is getting aligned to the left side.
How do I align the String values in Text View towards the right hand side inside a Table Column?
Thanks and Regards,
Sayan Ghosh

Hello Sayan,
if i do get it right, you are adding an TextView element to a Table Cell. Then you should consider setting aligment within the particular cell. By calling:
YourCell.setHorizontalAlignment(CellHAlign.RIGHT)

Justify indicator value to right

Hi
how can I set the value of a control or an indicator to the right generally in LV7. I don't want to change it all the time.
thanks
Yves

This was done in LV6.1, but it should be the same in LV7.
Open a new vi and insert the default indicator. Right Click on it->Advanced->Customize
Select the text and right justify it.
Save it as a new control and close the custom control interface.
On the front panel, right click to get the controls palette, selct User Controls (bottom right) and tack it down (pushpin). Hit Options (top right), edit pallete. Right click on User Controls window->Insert and choose your new indictor, with right justification. Save it out.
Whenever you wnat it, there it is under User Controls.

Lpad .. correct use to right justify a char field?

Hi all,
I have a column that's a char type, and I'm trying to manipulate justification within it.
SQL> create table test (test char(14));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values (' 001234567890');
1 row created.
SQL> select * from test;
TEST
001234567890
..I have no probs making it left justified using ltrim
SQL> update test set test=ltrim(test);
1 row updated.
SQL> select * from test;
TEST
001234567890
...but when I try to right justify using lpad I can't get it to work:
SQL> update test set test=lpad(test,14,' ');
1 row updated.
SQL> select * from test;
TEST
001234567890
..this should pad the column with blanks to make the string 14 in length right?
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks !
Adam

Hi, Adam,
A CHAR (14) column is always 14 characters long. If you insert a shorter string, it is automatically RPADded.
If LENGTH (test) = 14, then
lpad(test,14,' ')
simply returns test. So your UPDATE statement is equivalent to
update test set test= test;
Every row will get UPDATEd, but nothing will get changed.
To have the strings left-padded, use LPAD before INSERTing, or use UPDATE wtih LPAD and TRIM, like this:
UPDATE test
SET     test = LPAD ( RTRIM (test)
                    , 14
                    );

BEX Query Web-Convert Key Fig to Characteristic-Right justify characteristi

Hi,
I have converted a Key Figure into a characteristic. Let's call the new characteristic Z_NUMCHAR.
When Z_NUMCHAR is displayed in the BEX Query (HTML), it is left justified.
I have concatenated additional SPACES to the front of Z_NUMCHAR. However when Z_NUMCHAR is displayed, the spaces are removed.
I have also tried concatenating a letter to the front of Z_NUMCHAR and then a string of spaces, but the spaces are removed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to right justify a characteristic?
My worst case solution is to add leading underscores. _____5482.214
But would rather see it look like a Key Figure. 5482.214
Thanks

Hi Sebastian,
I have a similar problem. Can you help me? How did you set the entry in Member Presentation of Command SET_PRESENTATION to display key and text? I just found the values to set the only text or only key.

Hi,
Try with this code.
Data: v_string type string.
Data: v_len type i.
Data: v_int(10) type n.
Data: v_char(10) type c.
CONSTANTS c_six(6) type c value ' '.
v_string = 'Amandeep Sharma1981'.
v_len = strlen( v_string ).
v_len = v_len - 4.
v_int = v_string+v_len(4).
v_char = v_int.
v_char+0(6) = c_six.
Concatenate v_string+0(v_len) v_char into v_string.
I have taken your numerical value as 4 characters. you can modify as and how you want.

Right justify output

Hi, how do u right justify the output for the below code - not GUI based.
for (int x=7; x<=10; x++){
System.out.println(x);
The output is:
7
8
9
10
but i want this format:
(space)7
(space)8
(space)9
10
thank you.

Well, the %d format specifier wants an integer, and you're passing it a string.
Calling a method as the value passed to printf should not in itself be a problem.
You probably want to do something more like:
System.out.printf("%02d %d%n", x, test());Depending on what test() returns.

How to update a string value located on the main VI

Hello
I would like, from a subVI, to update a string value located in the main VI (using References). I was trying to find examples on NI web page but it´s impossible to download them (for more than one month : Error, File Not Found), do everyone has got the same problem?
Thanks for your answer
Nicolas

Hi,
this is from LV help file:
Complete the following steps to create a subVI that includes a control reference directly from a Property Node.
1.On the block diagram, right-click the front panel object terminal for which you want a control reference and select Create»Property Node from the shortcut menu to create a Property Node implicitly linked to the object. You can have multiple Property Nodes for multiple front panel objects.
2.Use the Positioning tool to select the new Property Node and select Edit»Create SubVI from menu. LabVIEW automatically creates a control reference to the control on the block diagram of the main VI, creates a subVI that contains a control refnum wired to a Property Node, and wires the control reference on the main VI to the
control refnum input terminal of the new subVI.
Note: Select several Property Nodes at once to create a subVI with multiple control refnums and Property Nodes.
3.Double-click the subVI to open it. Modify the Property Node and other elements of the subVI as you do in any other VI.
4. If you want to change values of control then select "Value" property in Property node.
I've attached the examples.
Good luck.
Oleg Chutko.

A more efficient way to assure that a string value contains only numbers?

Hi ,
I'm using Oracle 9.2.0.6.
I was curious to know if there was any way I could write a more efficient query to determine if a string value contains only numbers.
Here's my current query. This SQL is from a sub query in a Join clause.
select distinct cta.CUSTOMER_TRX_ID, to_number(cta.SALES_ORDER) SALES_ORDER
            from ra_customer_trx_lines_all cta
            where length(cta.SALES_ORDER) = 6
            and cta.SALES_ORDER is not null
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,1,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,2,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,3,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,4,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,5,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,6,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')This is a string where I'm finding A-Z-a-z characters and '/' and '-' characters in all 6 positions, plus there are values that are longer than 6 characters. That's what the length(cta.SALES_ORDER) = 6 is for. Also, of course. some cells are NULL.
So the question is, is there a more efficient way to screen out only the values in this field that are 6 character numbers or is what I have the best I can do?
Thanks,

I appreciate all of your very helpfull workarounds. The cost is a little better in all cases than my original where clause.
To address the discussion that's popped up about design from this question, I can say a few things that should clear , at least, my situation up.
First of all this custom quoting , purchase order , and sales order entry system WAS written by a bunch a of 'bad' coders who didn't document their work and then left. We don't even have an ER diagram
The whole project that I'm only a small part of is literally trying to put Humpty Dumpty together again and then move it from a bad custom solution into Oracle Applications.
We're rebuilding, documenting, and doing ETL. This is one of your prototypical projects from hell.
It's a huge database project so we're taking small bites as a time. Hopefully, somewhere right before Armageddon hits, this thing will be complete.
But until then,..., well,..., you know the drill.
Thanks Again.

Cursor Doesn't display in numeric right justified fields

We have an aplication that we deployed at a client. Normally the cursor blinks in the field that has focus. However, at this particular client the cursor doesn't show on numeric fields that are right justified. The user can type in the values though. Please help.

Hello,
Maybe you can increase the width of field.

Tab delimited and Right justified fields

Hi
My requirement is to produce an output file where the line items consists of 5 fields of variable lengths and all of them are tab delimited and right justified at the same time
for eg.
ABC 123456ghtje 4567.45678 67.45678 pqr
where all the values in the first field 'ABC' and 2nd field '123456ghtje' are right justified and are tab delimited and asme is the case for '4567.45678' , '67.45678' and 'pqr'
they are all separated from each other by a tab but are not fixed lengths
How can i achieve that ? i am using File Receiver Adapter ??
Can it be done without Adapter Module ?
Thanks
Dev

> they are all separated from each other by a tab but are not fixed lengths
When thay are not fixed length fields, why do you have to worry about left or right justification? In delimetted files, you would only have the delimitter between the fields. You do not need to fill spaces for justifying them.

Problems converting string value to database timestamp

I have values coming from a flat file in the form YYYYMM. I need to convert this value to a database timestamp. The reason for this is, furhter down in the flow, I need to bump this value up against a database table column in the form of YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS.
The first thing I do is tack on a day to the value so I have a string value in the form of YYYYMMDD. Once this is done, I then try to pass the value to a data conversion transformation. A sample value looks like this:
20140801
When I try to conver the string to DT_DBTIMESTAMP, I get:
"The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
I don't get it. The string is length 50. What am I missing?

Had to break apart the source.
SUBSTRING([Paid Period],1,4) + "-" + SUBSTRING([Paid Period],5,2) + "-01 " + "00:00:00.000"

Right-justify number columns in BC4J

I have several JSP pages that I am using BC4J tags in. I want to right justify all dollar columns. In addition, I want some columns to have a default width regardless of the data in them. For instance, even if a column has 'Test' in it, I want it to have a display width of 50.
How can I accomplish these two things?
Thanks,
Brett

Sounds like you might want to add properties to the attributes in your VO. If you set up some properties to hold values for alignment and width for each column, you can just interogate these values when you render the JSP and writre them into the HTML.

StringBuffer pad= new StringBuffer();
String ret_string="";
int add=0;
int trunc=0;
if(abc.length()<=11)
add =11-abc.length();
if(abc.length()>11)
ret_string =abc.substring(0,11);
