Auto Incrementing in Text Field

I imported a tab file and one column was the city, state and zip code. For some reason, the Zip code auto increments. It just so happened that the first cell was Durham, NC 27701. All subsequent cells incremented the Zip code by one, so the second cell became Durham, NC 27702. I have tried making the column a text field, and that did not work. I do not find any formula in the field, so am at a loss as to how to prevent the auto-incrementing from hapening.

Which Vallauris is your home city? Provence, or Pyrenees?
None, Vallauris is not in Provence but in 'Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur'
At this time there is a great discussion about this name.
Some wish to change it because they think that thge acronym PACA is not their cup of tea.
Given that, inhabitants of "Provence" refuse to drop "Provence",
inhabitants of "Alpes" refuse to drop "Alpes",
inhabitants of "Cote d'Azur" refuse to drop "Cote d'Azur".
My own advice is simply : don't use an acronym !
I searched heavily and din't find a Vallauris in Pyrénées.
The only town whose name approach is :
I just found :
Valaurie
Code postal: 26230
Département: Drôme
Région: Rhône-Alpes
Vallauris sits between Cannes and Antibes.

Auto Increment of Primary Field in Table Maintainance

Hi,
We want to give an Auto increment to the Primary Key, when ever the table is updated/inserted with a new record. How to get the value updated????
For Eg,
Table ZTEST Contains     MANDT, ITEM,   EBELN.
It should have the values 800    001   000977
And when the next record is created, the ITEM value should be Automatically get the value 002.. and so on for every Record.
Pls do let me know if any other details is reqd.
Thanx in Advance.
Ajaz

Dear Syed,
   You can do many things in table maintenance screen like validation of some field, making some field required or displayed etc.
   For auto increment you have to use Number-Ranges. FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT is helpful in this case.
   Where to write the code??? The Function-Group you have made. There will be includes. You can easily locate the place to write these codes.
   Caution point is that if you re-generate the table maintenance then all code will be gone.

Deva.

Auto Increment Sequence Custom Field

Hi All,
I was wondering if it is possible
to have a custom field defined as an auto incrementing sequence number? E.g. Let’s say I go in and create a project for the first time, this field will show the value 1. The next project I go to create, the field shows the value 2 etc. etc.
If possible, how can this be implemented using customization? Can it be done in Project Online? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

Hi JSimoni1,
You can generate a project unique ID using a webpart, even with Project Online.
Please find below the procedure in EpmExpert blog:
http://epmxperts.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/generate-unique-id-for-project-using-a-webpart/
Note that the code might need some adjustments to stick to your business need.
Hope this helps,

Creating auto increment custom metadata field in UCM

Hello,
Can anyone tell how to create a metadata Integer field with Auto Increment option?
Also while creating users, I have a custom Department field. I want this field to be displayed in my profile. How can i achieve this?

SHort of paying someone else to do the work for you I am afraid there is no shortcut.
However writing a component need not be difficult or complex if you take a sensible approach.
There are some excellent blogs out there, at least one comprehensive book and even the documentation will get you started
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/developer/sdk_getting_started_10en.pdf
I recommend you get Bex's book and you should be able to get a new component like this up and running in a day or two.

How do you auto-populate a text field based on entries in other text fields?

I would like to be able to have a text field that populates as "Complete" or "Incomplete" based on whether all the mandatory text fields have been filled out or not.
For example, if the "First Name," "Last Name," and "City" text fields are not filled out, the "completion status" text field will show "Incomplete" and once they are filled out, the "completion status" text field will turn into "Complete."
How would I do this using javascript? I've searched the web for a tutorial, but most of the results seem to be dropdown-centric.
Please point me in the right direction!

Try the script below. I put this on the calculate event for Field1
if(FirstName.rawValue == null || LastName.rawValue == null || City.rawValue == null){
Field1.rawValue = "Incomplete"
else
Field1.rawValue = "Complete"

Auto fill redundant text fields at run-time

I have a master page with several text fields in the header. My first page of the pdf allows user to enter this info (in other fields, with javascript to copy to the header fields like this):
----- F.pgCover.editSiteNumber::exit - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------------------------
F.pageSet.mpgHeader.hdrSiteNumber.rawValue = this.rawValue
Pages 2-6 use the mpgHeader. Page 2 shows the correct header info, but pages 3-6 do not show it. If I dynamically change a header page how do I force all pages that use that header page to update... or do I need to set properties on my body pages or content areas differently?

Auto populate blank text fields with n.a from a button or on print out.

This seems straight forward but I cannot find an existing questions on this topic.
I would like to add a form function that will fill any blank text fields with n.a. I do not want to use the default field value as I think it will cause confusion and cannot be applied for text fields formatted for dates. Is it possible to run a script that can do this? It would be OK if the action was triggered from a button or print activity after the rest of the form has been completed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The question is whether your form is used only for filling out on screen (and not as a level 0 form, being printed out and filled out manually).
If so, why not make the default value of the concerned fields to be "n/a" (or whatever you want to name them). That would relieve you from any validating before printing.
Otherwise, you could maintain a list of field names which should get the n/a value if empty. This list would be an array.
Your code in the willPrint event (if you want to have it reliably) would then look like this:
for (var i = 0 ; i < nafieldarray.length ; i++) {
if (this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).value == this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).defaultValue) {
this.getField(nafieldarray[i].value = "n/a") ;
HTH.

Auto update of text field on drop down change (binded to XML doc)

Hi all,
I have a problem that i'm stuck with since too long and I'll be really grateful for any useful idea.
Here is my issue:
I have this XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ItemsList>
 <Product>
 <itemUnitPrice>200.00000000</itemUnitPrice>
 <itemCode>lkg</itemCode>
 <ItemID>2</ItemID>
 <itemDescription>lk desc</itemDescription>
 </Product>
 <Product>
 <itemUnitPrice>300.00000000</itemUnitPrice>
 <itemCode>lkv</itemCode>
 <ItemID>1</ItemID>
 <itemDescription>lkv desc</itemDescription>
 </Product>
 <Product>
 <itemUnitPrice>400.00000000</itemUnitPrice>
 <itemCode>lks</itemCode>
 <ItemID>3</ItemID>
 <itemDescription>lks desc</itemDescription>
 </Product>
</ItemsList>
ItemID and itemCode are bounded to my dd list and the left is bounded to the rest of the columns in my table (below).
I`d like to find a way to auto change, for example the unit price, of an item selected from the list.
I have to mention that this xml is returned by a database and data can change so i can`t write javascript static code to match itemId with their Unitprice and description.
Any ideas ??
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
yes this is possible.
Add this script to the change event of your dropw down list.
Text1.value.text.value = xfa.event.change;

Does all RDBMS support auto-increment field?

Hi,
I am designing a java application in which I have to write some logic to auto-increment one database field. Can anyone tell me that all the databases support the auto-increment fields.
Thanks in advance.
Chris

There seem to be two kinds of facility for this in databases. One kind has an auto-increment field. Unfortunately they aren't consistent about how you obtain the value just created after an insert (which you almost invariably require to know). Generally you use a select statement to pick up the value of some kind of last row index function, but the name and syntax varies.
The other kind uses a separate object in the database called a SEQUENCE. You create this with a CREATE SEQUENCE statment, and generally you reference nextval(sequence_name) in the default attribute of the database field.
To get the last allocated sequence number you use select currval(sequence_name)
Again the syntax is a bit inconsistent. You should also probably use transaction isolation if someone else might be incrementing the same sequence.

Prefixing and auto-increment field

Hello
I have a web application (php/mySQL) that has an auto-increment primary key field called job_id.
Could anyone help me add a prefix to this?
I want to add the year and month (YYMM/) in front of the field (e.g. 0811/1234 then 0811/1235 assuming current month and year is Nov 2008).
Maybe Im wrong about adding the prefix to the primary key. Should I maybe add an additional field to maintain this?
Any advice greatly appreciated...
Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,
MySQL table and column names may only consist of letters, underscores and numbers anyway, so the date format you´d like to use would lead to errors due to the forward slashes.
Maybe Im wrong about adding the prefix to the primary key.
I don´t know what you want to achieve with this approach, but I´d really leave the name of the Primary Key column "as is" and use a different column for storing data which contains such date values.

Auto-populating text fields based on dropdown option

This has probably been covered on this forum before. I would like to auto-populate multiple text fields with pre-programmed data based on a user-selected option from a drop-down list. The file here should explain clearly what I want to do:
https://acrobat.com/#d=ID7ezZN5ZzIKgVvmgkyMiw
Where can I find an example code that would accomplish this task? Thanks.
-Paul

Your form data hierarchy is different than mine. You need the brackets also, otherwisethe first assignment statements executes only.
// form1.#subform[0].DropDownList1::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (!(this.isNull)) {
var char = this.rawValue;
TextField41.rawValue = "Data " + char + "1";
TextField42.rawValue = "Data " + char + "2";
TextField43.rawValue = "Data " + char + "3";

Auto increment with collection is not working

I am using KODO 3.0 with MYSQL 4.0.16. I have created two JDO object as
follows
BankAccount contains a collection of Contacts object. My metadata looks
like this
<class name="BankAccount">
<field name="contacts">
<collection element-type="Contacts"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="element-dependent"
value="true"/>
</field>
</class>
<class name="Contacts" objectid-class="Contacts$contactId">
<field name="contactId" primary-key="true">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="jdbc-auto-increment"
value="true"/>
</field>
</class>
There is no problem in the persisting of BankAccount object and adding
Contacts to it, but Contacts collation is not retrieved along with parent
object. In the database join table, the contact Id value it is always set
to null.
Things are working well with out contact id in Contacts.
Can anyone help?

Current date & time in text field

I need to auto-fill a text field with four letters plus the current date and current time. The text field should populate when the user clicks a checkbox.
For example, if today is April 25, 2012 and the current time is 10:27 a.m., the text field should read: UNIS0425121027. (The time can be in military time or not - it doesn't matter.)
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Try the following in the initialize event of the text field.
Change the script language to FormCalc.
TextField1.rawValue = Concat("UNIS",Num2Date(Date(),"MMDDYY"),Num2Time(Time(),"HHMM"));
Thanks
