Assigning a value to a specific letter

Hi everyone,
I would like text to have a numerical value. Specifically, the letter "E" to equals 8 ("E" stands for an "Early" shift and that shift is 8 hours long). So, ideally, every instance of "E" on my table would be able to be calculated elsewhere on my table.
Is it possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The straight forward approach to this (but perhaps cumbersome depending on the details or what you are doing) is wherever you refer to a cell (say xx) that could potentially have an 'E' in it rather that a number, use the formula "phrase" IF(xx="E", 8, xx). If you do this in a lot of places, it might make sense to introduce a new computed column where all the "E"s are resolved to 8s (using this phrase as the columns formula) and then reference this computed column in all further computations. This new column might be hidden if it proves unsightly.

Error when assigning a value to a class

Hi,
Here's what I have:
package com.myprograms.tools1;
public class A
public long orderId;
public int nameId;
public int carId;
public int anId;
package com.myprograms.tools1;
public class B
public A classOfA;
//MAIN Program
import com.myprograms.tools1;
public class getClass
B b= new B();
b.classOfA.orderId = 10029292;
I get a Null Pointer Exception when I assign a value to the var.
Can anybody help point out the problem?
Thanks!

OpenSQLException - Cannot assign double value

Hello,
I have some table in database with field of type 'double'. I use JDBC to store data in this table and sometimes I would like to place special values in it, eg:
preparedStatement.setDouble(1, Double.MIN_VALUE);
Unfortunately I get exception like the one below.
My question is: what is the allowed range of values for type 'double' in database according to OpenSQL spec ?
Thanks!

Hi,
   Thank you for your replay. I didn't touch DB directly, I defined db structure through NetWeaver Dictionary perspective and table that i'm interested in is defined like the one on this screen: http://zduniak.com/tmp/sap_dictionary_double.png
So I'm looking for generic solution (SAP OpenSQL), not specific to any particular DB vendor.
Maybe there is somewhere on help.sap.com (i couldn't find unfortunately) information what is the allowed range of values for type 'double' in database according to OpenSQL spec ?
Thank,
Marcin Zduniak

Assigning a value to a field-symbol (workarea of type any)

Dear forumers,
I'm having a bit of difficulty in assigning a value to a field-symbol (it should be treated as a workarea of type any), but I'm given a syntax error instead:-
The data object "<LFS_WORKAREA>" has no structure and therefore no component called "LFMON".
What could have gone wrong and how may I resolve this (I must have missed something out)? I will still need <LFS_WORKAREA> to be defined as TYPE ANY.
Please help. I'd appreciate any inputs at all. Thanks.

Assigning a value to a substitute variable

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to assign a value to a substitute variable.
This is what I'm doing:
- Prompting user for input
ACCEPT uom CHAR PROMPT 'Enter number of UOM system you would like: ' DEF '0'
(displayed list of options are numbers 0-5)
- Based on input, open corresponding file
(start i:\utc\all\oracle\uom\uom_column_heading_&&uom..sql)
Problem:
- Default selection is 0, meaning use the CURRENT UOM system (a number, 1-5)
- That being said, &&uom must be assigned a 1-5 value in order to open the file that corresponds to the CURRENT UOM system
Let me know if any additional information is needed.
Thanks!

I apologize for the format. I tried to make it more legible, but was not able to. FYI: It appears to be easier to read in "Edit" view.
Thanks, I tried the &&uom := your_function(); suggestion, but I am getting an error. It looks like the "value" of &&uom is being read in the assignment statement, not the variable name.
I have copied the piece of the code, for your reference.
ACCEPT uom CHAR PROMPT 'Enter number of UOM system you would like: ' DEF '0'
DECLARE
v_uom_sys_selection NUMBER;
v_curr_uom_sys VARCHAR2 (50);
v_uom_num NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_uom_sys_selection := to_number(&uom);
v_curr_uom_sys := EG.GET_CURRENT_UOM();
v_uom_num := eg.get_user_selected_uomnum(v_curr_uom_sys);
&&uom := to_char(v_uom_num);
dbms_output.put_line('v_uom_num = ' || v_uom_num);
dbms_output.put_line('&&uom = ' || &&uom);
END;
--prompt "&&uom"
start i:\utc\all\oracle\uom\uom_column_heading_&&uom..sql
Below are the results I get when commenting out the &&uom := to_char(v_uom_num); line. NOTE: the "value" of &&uom = 0.
v_uom_num = 1
0 = 0
If I leave that line in, I get the following error:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "0" when expecting one of the following:
begin case declare end exit for goto if loop mod null pragma
raise return select update while with <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> <<
close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback
savepoint set sql execute commit forall merge pipe
The symbol "<an identifier> was inserted before "0" to continue.

Error in ECA when assigning the value to structures

Hi,
There are errors in ECA when we execute our function modules.
Say a script has 3 interfaces (just an example)
1) In the first command interface, there is a reference to a structure which has 3 nested structures within, in which the inner most 3rd structure is filled.
2) In 2nd interface, the inner most structure in null.
3) In third interface, it is trying to initialize only those elements
that were already initialized and we get a empty node error for the 3rd
nested structure, when it tries to assign the value .
Here is the error message that we encounter
"The Node IT_TABLE_INPUT_DATA[1]-DATA[2]-COMPARE_OPERATOR of Object VS_EDIT_LIST Does Not Exist"*
Please help us in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Asha
Edited by: Asha Nagaraj on Jan 19, 2009 11:57 AM

Hi,
We tried to parameterize in the node level rather than Struture level, still the same problem persists, becoz
1. In the first command interface the value has been assigned to internal node
2. In the second command interface there is no value to assign, so null value is assigned to that node
3. in the third command interface, when it tries to assign the value to the node which was assigned "null" in the previous interface, we are encountering that issue. it is not able to find that node
Let me know if u need further info.
Thanks,
Asha

AE CC 2014 - Wiggle Expression not assigning similar values on scale

So I've just noticed that the wiggle expression no longer works how it used to. I found a released article explaining changes in the Noise Algorithm used for the wiggle expression what’s new and changed in the 2014 update to After Effects CC | After Effects region of interest and am referring to the "fixed bug in implementation of Perlin noise algorithm" section.
I'm not sure if this is what's causing the issue but let me explain.
I'm just adding a wiggle expression on to an object's scale.
wiggle(5,50);
This would normally scale the object's parameters with the same value. so it would be (100,100) to (125,125) and so on.
Now however with CC2014 the expression is assigning different values to each value so getting (125, 115) or something even if the 'constrain proportions' button is enabled.
So I tried to trick it:
temp=wiggle(5,50);
[temp[0],temp[1]];
Still got different values even though i'm telling it to insert the same variable?
temp=wiggle(5,50);
temp;
Still got different values... I don't get it can anyone help?

Try this. Add an expression control slider to the layer with the following expression:
wiggle(5, 50)
Then add this expression to your scale property:
w = value[0] + effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
[w, w]
The problem exists because wiggle will act on all of the values in the array of the property you have selected independently. so you have to set up something with only one value like an expression control slider.

Assigning current value to Application Item

Hi,
I have a interactive report with form in my application.....
if a user applys filter on first column of the interactive report.....how can i assign that value to the APPLICATION ITEM.
thanks

Hi Andy,
Thanks....it is working perfect......
but i have a small issue....
in my real application i have 7tabs with page no's 1,2,3,4,5,6,and 15.....
so i have created 7 application items G_PARTNO1, G_PARTNO2, G_PARTNO3, G_PARTNO4, G_PARTNO5, G_PARTNO6, G_PARTNO15.
and used the single application process that runs On Load Before Header and uses the following PL/SQL code:
DECLARE
v1 NUMBER;
v2 NUMBER;
v3 NUMBER;
v4 NUMBER;
v5 NUMBER;
v6 NUMBER;
v15 NUMBER;

Please comment to support basic ADF library like assignment of values :)

Hello,
I am asking Oracle to develop a library for basic operations like assigning values.
This is for newbies and for new components.
Reason: Java is not like pl/sql, visual basic, etc. I had bee studying for get certified on Java it takes time, once you create your own library then there is no problem the main reason is to accelerate the learning of adf programming and programming in new components
There are some examples in JSFUTIL and ADFUTIL libraries, but they are only examples.
the idea is Oracle to create
1) libraries supported and maintained by oracle for ALL the ADF components
2) same function for all components, in example, to set a value to any adf item to have the same function, and that function make the conversion, suggest the import of the correct libraries (in example to use adf number instead of java number to get autoboxing)
etc.
If you agree with this requirement to Oracle, please comment :) Thank you.

Thank you Frank I don't find it so difficult,
This is what I think, what do you think about.
The first concept I think and is the base for this "project" is "ADF Framework is here to make easier programming", this means if Oracle can create a library to make it easier then it makes sense with Oracle's Strategy of course; this is not because only because I'm asking. :)
If you want we can start analyzing the most basic example: assigning values.
If I execute
JSFUtils.setExpressionValue("#{bindings.Hora0.inputValue}",2);
JSFUtils.setExpressionValue("#{bindings.Hora0.inputValue}","2");
JSFUtils.setExpressionValue("#{bindings.Hora0.inputValue}",nValue); -- no matter what type of value nValue is
You get assigned, if there is a limitation to the type of the variable, then I should receive a message like "you can't use native Integer , you have to use int to get autoboxing", some message very specific to help me to solve the problem.
Why I'm asking this, because I created a simple example and I couldn't get a value assigned to that item, it was an (ADF Faces. Text an Selection)
My opinion is I should had got a better error message, so I can't fix my assignment, because for me it was all "ok", this is one of my first applications, but I think It should be easier to assign a value in adf framework.
And I'm asking a function I'll have to do myself to work using adf framework, there is no choice.
I include the example below showing I had problems assigning values, maybe it was a very obvioius mistake causes , so I started to modify it. (I'm starting on java I'm on the process to get certification).
public static void setExpressionValue(String expression, Object newValue) {
FacesContext facesContext = getFacesContext();
Application app = facesContext.getApplication();
ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
ValueExpression valueExp =
elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, expression,
Object.class);
//Check that the input newValue can be cast to the property type
//expected by the managed bean.
//If the managed Bean expects a primitive we rely on Auto-Unboxing
Class bindClass = valueExp.getType(elContext);
System.out.println("0 setExpressionValue");
String tipoVar = valueExp.getType(elContext).toString();
System.out.println("1 setExpressionValue:"+tipoVar);
String TipoOJDN = "class oracle.jbo.domain.Number";
System.out.println("1 IGUALDAD TipoOJDN:"+(tipoVar.equals(TipoOJDN)));
if (tipoVar.equals(TipoOJDN))
{System.out.println("Es Número");
        System.out.println("1 setExpressionValue TipoOJDN");
        String ojdn = newValue.toString() ;
        System.out.println("2 setExpressionValue TipoOJDN");
        Number variable = null;
        System.out.println("3 setExpressionValue TipoOJDN"+ojdn);
      // variable = Integer.parseInt(ojdn);
        System.out.println("4.1dddd setExpressionValue TipoOJDN num");
        /*    String a1 = newValue.toString();
            Integer i1 = Integer.valueOf(a1);
            int i2;*/
            Number num;
            try {
                num = new Number(newValue);
            System.out.println("4.2 setExpressionValue TipoOJDN num:"+num);
                valueExp.setValue(elContext, num);
                System.out.println("5 setExpressionValue TipoOJDN");
            } catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("exception convertin number"+newValue);
// oracle.jbo.domain.Number.formattedTextToNumber(arg0, arg1, arg2) a = (oracle.jbo.domain.Number)newValue;
else
{System.out.println("tipoVar:"+tipoVar);
// if (bindClass.isPrimitive() || bindClass.isInstance(newValue)) {

valueExp.setValue(elContext, newValue);
System.out.println("4 setExpressionValue:"+valueExp.getValue(elContext));

Round a double value to a specific number of decimal places?

Hello,
Is there standard java function which will round a double value to a specified number of decimal places? Something like:
double d = 4.34523;
d = round(d, 2);
where d is finally assigned the value of 4.34?
Thanks!
-exits

No, because doubles hold values in binary (as do all values in a computer, of course, but there's no additional stuff to indicate decimal values).
If you want values with specific rounding rules in decimal, use java.math.BigDecimal.
If you just want to format the number with a specified number of decimal digits, use java.text.DecimalNumber.

Assign fixed values through CMOD

Hello all,
I have been asked to make an enhancemet to assing fixed values to a field, so there would be a drop down after wards. Is this posible through CMOD? I know i can do it through se11 and fix the domain, but not sure if it is the correct process.
Thanks.

Hi,
Enhancement(SMOD,CMOD) or BADI (SE18,SE19) are just predefined user exit for customer to implement their specific logic in the specific application/component .
So your question is depending on whether there is a prefined user exit for that field. In my opinion, enhancement for assigning fiexed values to field mostly don't have predefined user exit.
But you can achieve it with it's search help exit instead, do as below:
1. If a search help already been attached to that field, just implement search help exit via se11(choose search help and change)
Hope helps,
Chen Jian

Is there a way to assign CPU limitations to a specific software ?

Is there a way to assign CPU limitations to a specific software ?
For example.. when I launch a render.. I don't care if it takes 4hours or 6hours... I prefer that some CPU is kept free so not to slow down the rest of my activities during the day. Is there a way to assign to a specific application a maximum in CPU usage? Or maybe just one core?
Obviously I am asking this for applications that don't have this option internally... I've seen some that let you choose single or dual core for example.
Is there an external software (?) a OS setting (?) or so to do this?

I found this where they also speak about RENICE...
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110131001708255
To me is greek.. but seems ok.. I don't understand if the other CPU is freed for other apps or is "blocked" in some way (making this useless for my needs)

Assign a value from dropdownlist to input field value on BSP page

Hi,
I'm new to SAP and ABAP. We have a CRM project in which I have to maintain BSP pages.
Now, coming to my problem: I have a input field with
value = "//BTAdminH/HeaderInfo"
This field is normally maintainable. The required function is now to set this field as not maintainable/readonly. Then, the value should be set automatically to an value, which will be selected from a dropdownListBox. After saving, the value HeaderInfo should have the same value like the selected value from the dropdownListBox.
How can I now set the field as readonly (this should be the easier part) and
how can I set the value for the HeaderInfo to the value of the selected value from the dropdownListBox?
If I set it directly like this
value = "//BTActivity/Priority"
it is shown on the BSP page correclty, but it is not saved as HeaderInfo.
Please help me.

Hello Gokul,
test was only for test purposes! I am using as a separator the plus sign!
But this is not the problem!
In debugging, the local variable has the concatenated value! So, this is working!
oncatenate ls_ddlb1-value ls_ddlb2-value ls_ddlb3-value into lv_headerinfo SEPARATED BY ' + '.
But when I assign the value of my set_headerinfo to the local variable, then it is returning only the separator sign!!!
if BTAdminH->GET_HEADERINFO( 'HEADERINFO' ) is initial.
BTAdminH->SET_HEADERINFO( attribute_path = 'HEADERINFO' value = lv_headerinfo ).
endif.
If I declare the local variable as one of the dropdown values, then it is getting populated also for set_headerinfo
lv_headerinfo =ls_ddlb1-value.
So, the assigning is also working! But it is not working, when the local variable equals more than one value! I hope that I could explained it in the right way for you!!!!
So. why is the value for set_headerinfo not the same as the one for the local variable! The local variable has the correct value after the concatination.
Regards
Enja

Assigning a value to a parameter.

Hi all,
I am using CR XI, developping a report built upon a query in BW (using SAP Kit). The query in BW has a parameter PARAM1 of type string that comes automatically into my report but the type or the parameter is greyed. I can't change it.
In reality, I am expecting a date to be entered. It would be more user friendly to offer the user the calendar interface to select a value rather than the textbox for a string.
I can create a second parameter PARAM2 of type Date in CR, transform the input value to string but I do not know how to assign the result to PARAM1.
I have tried an assignment in a formula using beforereadingreports but no luck.
Does anybody know how to do this or if this is even possible ?
Thanks.

Thanks Graham - sorry it took me so long.
That is an interesting suggestion that I did not think of. I tried but for some reason the parameter for the report against BW does not show up in the link part of the subreport definition. I created a "fake" main report with a date type parameter, a formula to translate it to a string but no way to "assign" its value to the parameter in the original report.
Queries against SAP seem to have "specificities"...
In other words, i am still stuck !
