ALV in New format

Hello All,
i need to create a ALV report , in that report i need to create header at first column position.(means i need vertical header instead of horizontal header). and basis of column and row i need to make them editable , non-editable and check box.
plz check the below example.
Y Header/ X header     Attr x1             Attr x2               Attr x3               Attr x4
Attr y1
Attr y2                          Editable          Non-editable     Checkbox
Attr y3                            Non-editable     Checkbox     Editable
Please provide some solution
thanks in advance.

Hi, not easy to be answered. If you use the Class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID you can use the structure lvc_s_layo to manipulate a lot of settings. Best to look for some examples.Succes.

HT1399 I just downloaded the newest version of itunes, and when I connect my ipod nano (3rd gen), I can no longer see my playlists (on the left hand side). I hate the new format...any way to revert back to the old one?

I just downloaded the newest versionof itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod, I can no longer see my playlists (listed on the left hand side). The new format is very confusing! How do I drag and drop songs into specific playlists I have? Is there a way to revert back to the old itunes?

I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again.

Aaa New format configuation on IOS and Nexus-OS based devices ?

Dear all,
I have been working on an assignment to get our TACACs servers standardized and to change the old format aaa configs to the new standard before the old format gets deprecated.
I have many multiple IOS based model devices such as 2350, 2821, 3650, Firewalls, Nexus based 3048s 3064s and 7010s
However, I have tried the new format on both the IOS based 2350s and also on the Nexus based 3048s which has error on both cases
our plan is to move to the new style of aaa configuration and at least to have one standard format configuration for IOS based devices and one other standard format for Nexus based devices.
•Our tacacs appliances are crashing on AD authentication on a fairly regular basis. And I was wondering as to where to get resource on Cisco.com to see if we are on the latest version. Can you point me resource where I can find the latest version so that I will be able to compare it with what we have
Also if you have a forum recommendation for me to get help on this and other related staff that will be a huge help.
probably we might need to upgrade our IOS for example the below new aaa config format didn’t work? when I tried it on 2350 based on flash:/c2350-lanlite-mz.122-46.EY/c2350-lanlite-mz.122-46 version any suggestion here?
I have attached the sample config I have been trying to use-- If you have a better configuration suggestion let me know? Thanks a million for the help!

Yes, the focus with ML is certainly on trying to get people who have iOS devices to switch to using Apple computers.
For long-time devotees of OS X like us, there's not much in it. Snow Leopard was still a far more versatile and more widely compatible OS than either 10.7 or 10.8. If you're on 10.6.8. I would think twice about upgrading.
However, I think if you're on 10.7 already, it's worth upgrading to 10.8, simply because ML seems to be more stable and more refined. They have fixed some of the annoying things in Lion (like you can now put Devices back to the top of the Finder sidebar, Resume is turned off by default, 'Save As' has been resurrected, Launchpad actually has a filter bar etc etc.). Some of the apps are better too - some nice new features in Preview for editing and Safari has an all-in-one address/search bar).
More features are advertised explained here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html

Recently downloaded Mavericks to my iMac to replace OS X 10.9.2, everything good except can I revert to the look of "Mail" on Mountain Lion, new format not detailed enough? by Cozzie

Recently downloaded mavericks to my imac, to update OS X 10.9.2., everything went good except would like to revert to the previous format for mail.....new format does not separate inboxes etc. I hear it can be done, any ideas how to do that?

Hi bhcozzie,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can change the preferences for Mail in the Viewing tab to Use classic layout if that layout is more familiar to you.

In Pages 5.0, new Format Panel sidebar keeps resizing my page.

After new Format or Setup Panel sidebar slides back to the right as expected, that part of the page is gone, hiding the text on the right of the page. I am forced to resize my document back to its original size, so I can see my full text again. However, sidebar does not misbehave when my page is full-screen or with Numbers application. Is there any fix available, please?
As it is, I am forced to keep the sidebar on all the time, but I'd rather see it only when I need it. For me, it is really important to have as much screen space as possible for texts only, keeping everything else out of sight. Please, help me.

This is a problem with using Pages 5 with its fixed sidebar.
Have you thought of just using Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder?

New Format for creating Attribute Sets.

Hi,
In SAP CRM webclient ui 7.0 there is a new format for creating Attribute Sets. The format is 'value table'.
On selecting Format=Value Table the field 'Table' comes up.
There is a message: Here you can enter a table that contains all the values you want to use. This is particularly useful for attributes with a lot of values or if you want to enter multiple attributes with the same values. The table must be a check table with a search help.
Do I need to create a table with all the fields in in marketing attribute assignment block with search help on attributes field.
Can you please guide as to how I should go about this issue.
Regards,
John.

Hi John,
The Attribute Set of Format type 'Value Table' is for the Mutiple Attribute Sets. These can be either a Single Attribute Set with Multiple values or the Multiple Attribute Sets with One value.
You can include all such marketing attributes into one table which is a check table with search help. and use this as the Value Table.
Hope this helps you out!
Regards
Veena.

Mac mail/creating new format style

Hi all,
I sometimes send emails with a good amount of copy ( I have my compose preference set to RTF). I notice that the default format style for macmail is Left aligned, Spacing 1.0x. (no leading or 'set solid'). I'd like to create a new 'favorite style' that includes the basic type 'Geneva' and flush left alignment but with more leading, maybe '2.0' so that the copy is more readable. I go to the menu Format-->Style-->Styles. A styles info box comes up:
Can anyone tell me how to create a new format style with greater leading than the
default style then add it to favorites? Will a person who receives my email who is using a different email client necessarily receive the formatting I am sending?
I hope I'm not missing something obvious. lol.
Also, if anyone knows the html code that would center my image in this email, please pass that along as well. I tried the <center> tags but they didn't work.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Regards,
Dennis

Replying to myself to add some more information, and ask some additional questions:
Poking around, I have found some information -- a few years old, unfortunately -- that seems to indicate that you cannot create aliases to associate with a mac.com account. What I may have to do is add an address in the primary account, in the Email Address field of the Account Information tab, where she currently has this:
[email protected], [email protected]
If that works, that'll be great, but one flaw in this method is that you can't specify a different sender name. Her customers at "herdomain.com" will still just see her name, Jane Doe, when what she really wants in the sender field for that e-mail address is "Jane Doe, Director, Her Domain Inc."
Can anyone verify if I am finally understanding this correctly? Or if there is something else I can do to get her that alternate identity on her mac.com account?
Thanks.

NEW FORMAT FOR DISCUSSIONS

does anyone else wish that apple would stop reinventing the wheel and leave a good thing alone?
i used to solve every problem thru the great posts on this site. now i cant find anything.
this new format is the most user unfriendly i have ever experienced. if i have to scroll through one more interminable lists of iphone or itunes topic i am going to scream.
i feel like it's catering to kids now. going to start using macforum or other sites until applegets it together...anyone have this experience? maybe they'll listen to a bunch of us.

Why not narrow the search?
Click on the 'More Options links and you can refine the search to a specific forum, specific, specific poster even.

The new format is just harder to use

The new format, imho, is just harder to use. You need to click all over the place after logging in to see changes to the discussions you've contributed to, to locate discussion groups, etc. The old site was just more user friendly, though not as pretty.
I for one would like the option to use and see the old interface.

Hi, Marlinespike -
I can't find my last posts or my last questions. I don't have a clue as to how to find anything.
Copy/pasting a reply I gave to someone else a couple of days ago here, with modifications...
If you go to the main page of this site (https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa) and then the Your View (personalize) tab—which you should set as the default—you can set yourself up to watch pretty much anything you're interested in, including all of the topics you're participating in.
To watch your own topics, choose the Watch A User widget and drag that widget down into the body of the page, placing it wherever you like.
Once you've placed the widget, click the disclosure triangle in the upper right and choose 'Edit this widget.'
Next, enter your name in the Username field. (It defaults to Yourself.)
Give your widget a custom title, select which categories of your content you'd like to appear in the widget, and enter how many results you'd like to appear in the widget (max is 100)...
Click Save Properties, and voilà...
Finally, look back at the top of the page, and click Publish Layout, and you're done.
(Note that for all of the available information to appear in this widget, you have to choose a layout for your home page that includes at least one column that's half the width of the page or larger....)

Error "The file appears to use a new format..." with Full version 6 and Reader v9.1

Hi,
Environment: XP Pro sp3, Acrobat 6.0, Acrobat Reader 9.1, Internet Explorer 7.0
Eventhough I have my Reader v.9.1 set up as default application for PDF files in the file association setup, if I click on a PDF link in Internet Explorer, it wants to open it with the full version of Acrobat v6.0 and I get this popup message:
"The file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support.
It may not open or display correctly. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of our Acrobat products…."
I am puzzled why Internet Explorer ignores the file association setup in Windows Explorer.
Can someone assist me to figure this out? if the solution involves messing with the registry, or registering/deregistering dll files, that's fine with me.

The problem is that those applications share resources and will fight over them.
It is not recommended or supported to have both on a Windows machine.

What happened to the old Firefox Bookmark Format?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
