Table maintenance - auto-populate description field based on other field

Hello,
I have a custom table with 2 fields in it. Customer and Name. For customer field, I am using a standard customer search help. My requirement is when I search for a customer and select a customer, how can the name field be auto populated with customer name? I am looking for a best way to do this.
Thanks,
AV

hi adrian,
One method to achieve this functionality would be :
1. Find out the maintenance screen and function group of the table maintenance generator say 0001 and Z03_PRO_FN. ( u can find out by going into tables - > utilities -> tmg - to find Function group. for screen number- from TMG ->utilites->modifications->maintanence screen -> note the screen number).
2. Go to SE80 and open Z03_PRO_FN screen number 0001.
3. For field 1 - create a module in Process on Value Request Event in PAI of the maintenance screen ( Similar to any module pool program)
call the FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST( In Process on Value request event of field 1 in PAI)
4. Use FM DYNP_VALUES_Update to read the value of field 1 on the screen ( Because this is before enter is pressed and field 1 on the module pool porogram would not be populated with value ) and update the field 2.

New Z-table to auto-populate description based on the key field entered

Hi Gurus,
I have to created a z-table, there are several fields however I am interested in only two
1) VSTEL and 2) PADEST for shipping point and the printer name. Also there are two other fields I have added to the table that are the descriptions for VSTEL and PADEST. Now the requirement is that when the user enteres a value in table maintenance ( sm30)
for say VSTEL, then its description should auto populate or propose the right values. Same should happen for the PADEST and its description field.
Thanks.

Goto the Table maintenance generator of the Table.
On this screen.
Environment -
> Modification -
> Events
Create New entry in the table with T = 05 and Z <any name>
Save it.
An editor button appears next to the from name.
Click on it and create an include.
Write your code in this include...
select vstel
       padest
       from table XXXX into table I_XXXX
       where vstel = (Z_VSTEL)User enterd VSTEL in module pool.
If sy-subrc = 0.
      loop at I_XX into wa_xxx.
          if wa_xxx-vstel = Z_vstel.
            z_padest(Desc field in Tab maint) = wa_XXX-PADEST.
          endif.
      endloop.
endif.
The same logic can be used to get the desc for VSTEL and PDEST.
You can change this in many ways based on performance.
The above code is just to give an idea...

Using JavaScript to auto populate a field based on numeric value of a separate drop down field

Hello, I am trying to set up a simple, I hope, javascript which will enable to me auto populate one field based on the numberic value of another field using Acrobat Pro XI.
Essentially I have 2 drop down fields (we'll call them DD1 and DD2).
DD1 is the sum of 8 preceding drop down values. That sum can be anywhere from 0 - 40. Whatever that sum falls within a range which identifies a rating. The ratings and ranges are below:
0-8: Non-Performer
9-16: Low Performer
17-24: Performer
25-32: High Performer
33-40: Exceptional Performer
DD2 is where the rating ("non-performer", "low performer", etc.) will be captured. Instead of requiring the user to look at DD1, determine the value, and then identify and input the rating manually, I would like DD2 to auto populate the rating based on the value (sum) in DD1.
For example, if DD1 shows a value of 27 then DD2 would auto populate "High Performer". So how do I write this code or execute this? In excel I would use an if, then statement. Is there something similar in Acrobat Pro XI.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you use a text field, the custom calculation script could be:
// Custom calculation script for text field
(function () {
    var s = getField("DD1").valueAsString;
    // Blank this field if input is blank
    if (!s) {
        event.value = "";
        return;
    // Convert string to number
    var v = +s;
    // Set this field's value based on the input
    if (v <= 40 && v >= 33) {
        event.value = "Exceptional Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 33 && v >= 25) {
        event.value = "High Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 25 && v >= 17) {
        event.value = "Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 17 && v >= 9) {
        event.value = "Low Performer";
        return;
    if (v < 9 && v >= 0) {
        event.value = "Non-Performer";
        return;
    // If none of the above fit, blank this field
    event.value = "";

Auto populate text field base on anothe r text field input

ive created a medical form that the end user enters codes for medical reasons and a description for that code. the description are very long and tedious. is there a way to have the user enter the code in one field and have it auto populate another field with the correct description?
I was able to do this with a combo box but not with a standard text box. please note, i have never learned javascript and have been ""duct taping" peices of code to make things work up until now . appreciate the help

The advantage of the combo box is the automatic validation of the input as the selection is made.
You can use control statements like the "if" or "switch" statement or perform an array lookup. This action can be performed in the on blur action of the input filed or in the calculation script for the target field.

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

thanks.

I'm looking to Auto-populate address fields after selecting a name from a drop-down. iPad compatability not required. Most of my users will be using Acrobat Pro or Reader on a PC. I'm generating the files on Mac Abrobat X Pro.
Is there an updated tutorial link someone knows about by chance? The above link no longer has a tutorial on it that I can see.
Or, if anyone can direct me to a javascript or something that I can modify with my data list, that'd be great! I've been looking all over the place, and have been struggling to find something that looks like it would work the way I want it to. I need the data list to be self-contained inside the pdf doc, not sourced from an outside database.

How to auto populate a field based on drop down list unless specific item is selected

Hi all,
Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong area but I am new to Adobe LiveCycle, JavaScript and these forums.
I am trying to build an Acrobat form using LiveCycle but am having trouble with the drop down lists.
Inititaly I simply wanted to populate fields in one table based on the selection of a corresponding drop down list in another table.
I used the following code and it worked fine:
Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)
var fFrom = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*].Row4.Cell1");
var fTo = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*].Row4.Cell1");
for (var i=0; i <= fFrom.length-1; i++) {
     fTo.item(i).rawValue = fFrom.item(i).boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
The problem is that now I want the above code to work UNLESS one of the items in the dropdown list is specifically selected in which case I want the text box in the other table to display a message such as "Enter details in the field below".
I have tried to create an If Else statement using the following code:
Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)
var fFrom = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*].Row4.Cell1");
var fTo = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*].Row4.Cell1");
for (var i=0; i <= fFrom.length-1; i++) {
     if (fFrom.item(i).rawvalue = "Option 3"){
     fTo.item(i).rawValue = "Enter details in the field below";
     else {
     fTo.item(i).rawValue = fFrom.item(i).boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
The code now populates the field with "Enter the details in the field below" no matter what item I select from the dropdown list.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
ozzy_q

Follow Up:
Ok so ive changed things up a bit and have had some more success.
I have used a Switch statement in my For loop to perform different actions based on the item selected.
The code looks like this:
Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)
var fFrom = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails[*] .Row4.Cell1");
var fTo = xfa.resolveNodes("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails[* ].Row4.Cell1");
for (var i=0; i <= fFrom.length-1; i++) {
     switch (fFrom.item(i).rawValue)
     case "Option 3":
     fTo.item(i).rawValue = "Enter the details in the field below";
     break;
     default:
     fTo.item(i).rawValue = fFrom.item(i).boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
     break;
This code solves my problem but has thrown up a new issue:
When i select Option 1 or 2 from the dropdown list the change in the text field is instantaneous, however if I select Option 3 it wont appear in the text field until I either select Option 3 a second time or select another item. Its as if the text field is a selction behind what I have enterd in the dropdown list.
Any thoughts?

Auto-populate form fields based on end user input?

I'm currently attempting to create a new form that has a combo box "Locations" with various options. What I'm looking to do is have another text field auto populate other fields related to that location (such as address, contact information) to save on time and reduce opportunity for end user errors in input.
What are my options for accomplishing such a task? Some form of binding fields with a MS database possibly?
Thanks in advance for any advice and assistance on this matter!

Paul,
The form and (potential) database would be located on a shared drive on the company network in which those that would use the form already have access to.
The pc's that user's would be using have Reader 9.
The pc I'm using for developing this form has LC Designer 8, Acrobat Professional 8, and Reader 9.
Ideally, I would "like" for the end user to have the ability to add new locations, addresses, etc ... in the event it is needed, although this would not be likely to come up.
Based on the software I have on hand, and the need to not incur additional expenses, what would you suggest?
Thanks again Paul!

Auto Populate one Field Based on Another Field

I am trying to populate the description field after the user has entered a value in the item number field and then tabs or otherwise exits the item number field. I'm sure this is in the documentation somewhere, but I'm in a big hurry.
By the way, this is only the second time I've looked at HTML-DB, so details would be appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

Well, I've been all over all kinds of documentation, but the pieces are not coming together.
I have onchange="doSubmit('GETDESC');" in the HTML Form Element Attributes.
I have a couple of processes which fire, or don't, depending on the condition of Request (Request = Expression 1 vs. Request != Expression 1).
I know when a process fires because of messages I put in the Process Success Message.
My source is:
SELECT ITEM_DESCRIPTION INTO :P1_ITEM_DESCRIPTION
FROM PRT_HEADER
WHERE ITEM_NBR = :P1_ITEM_NBR;
When I change the value in P1_ITEM_NBR and tab out, the form comes back blank.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gregory

Auto populate for fields in ZTable

Hi

With which when user performs a manual posting in the table and save a record in SM30 the Timestamp is populated automatically.
Similar to these how can i Auto Populate the Created By with the user id (logon id) of the user who made the posting.
I tried to create a new event of type-5 - System is not allowing me to create a event another event of same time
How can i enhance the exisisting event so that i can get Auto Populate of Created By

Hi friend,
Put your code which populate user name inside form of event 5 (maybe below your existence code).

How do you auto-populate a field?

Hello.
If I present the user with a LOV's on an 'Insert Form', how do I auto-poulate a value in the same form based on what the user has just selected?
e.g.
User selects 'Employee Number' from a LOV, I then want to auto-populate the 'Employee Name' underneath.
I thought a simple sql query would get me the EMP_FULL_NAME FROM EMPLOYEES where EMPNO = (whatever EMPNO user has just selected).
TIA.

Hi Tia,
You are right you should just be able to use a query as the source of your page item for name. I will base my description below on page 1 and using APEX 4.
First of all you will need to set your :P1_USER_ID select list to submit the page so the value is set in session state, if you navigate to the settings section and then set Page Action when Value Changed to submit page.
You will then need to have a query as the source of :P1_NAME and a query something like
SELECT
    name
FROM
    users
WHERE
    user_id = :P1_USER_ID;One thing to not you will need to make sure you on submit processes are conditional based on a button else they will run when the user_id select lists is changed.
An alternative method to submitting the page would be to use a dynamic action providing your using APEX 4. The dynamic action could be fired when the value of :P1_USER_ID is changed and then update the value :P1_NAME dynamically.
Hope this helps
Paul

Problem in creating table maintenance generator for 61 fields in table

Hi Experts,
I am facing problem in creating a table maintenance genarator for a ZTABLE which has 61 fields
i am using below details whicle creating the TMG
in Maintenance screen
i am giving maintenance type as two step
Maint screen no overview screen 2
                          single screen        3
Dialog Data Transport details
Recording routine    standard recording routine
but it is giving following error
screen SAPL<ZTABLE NAME>    0003 could not be generated
In DYNPFIELD_ATTR mandatory field LINE has no value
please let me know how to sort out these errors.
Is there any limit on the number of fields for which we can create table maintenance generetor.
Thanks a lot in advance
Sudipto

Hi Sudipto,
There is not limit to the number of fields of the Table which can be used in TMG for generation. But, from the usability point of view this will horrible.
I created a Z table and added 64 fields and was able to generate the TMG with the screens perfectly. So, I guess there should not be any problem.
Well, have a look at the Function Group. I guess the screen numbers are already used by some other screens. You can set the system to propose freely available screen numbers from the pool.
Also, check whether proper authorization is assigned or not.
And if nothing is working, you can degenerate all the generated screens and then can have a new regeneration of it.
Hope these tips will work.
Thanks,
Samantak

Auto populate a textfield based on users input

Hi All,
Working with Designer ES ver. 8.2, and I am looking to see if it is possible to auto fill another field based on an end users input.
Example: End-user enters a 6 digit departmentCode for a program; in turn the field opposite to the departmentCode auto fills with a corresponding programCode; if they do not input the correct 6 digit departmentCode the field will return a null value.
I am trying to move away from my current auto fill drop-down option, so end-user is less likely to select incorrect departmentCode from drop-down
Best Regards
Jeff

radzmar,
Thank you for your response, I assumed there was a simple script to accomplish my task. I had assumed that the .rawValue property would have come into play and was unaware of the xfa.event.fullText property.
Thanks Again
