Auto wrap data field in a subreport

I have a subreport in my main report that displays one field. The subreport uses a stored procedure that returns one row that is made up of a CSV string. I have "Can Grow" set for the field but it does not wrap to the next line in the subreport. If the string is to long, it cuts off the end and does not display on the next line. Is there another setting I need to set? Or can I even do this?

hi,
Right click the 'Subreport' and select 'Format Subreport'.
Check the checkbox of 'Can Grow' option.
Now you will see the entire CSV string spanning across multiple lines.

Auto populate date field

I have a JavaScript that I use to auto populate date fields. However, I've discovered that it doesn't work when the form is opened on an iPhone or Android phone. Is there a way to auto-populate a date field without using JavaScript?

What app on the iPad are you using.
Different apps on mobile devices have varying degrees of JavaScript compatibility.

LiveCycle ES2 - Auto Populate Date field when signed

Good afternoon,
I've got a signature field called "sgnPOC" and a date field called "sgnPOCDate" I'd like to have the date field filled in automatically when the sgnPOC is digitally signed.
I added the following to the postSign* event to sgnPOC.
FORM.Main.sgnPOCDate.rawValue = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
and different variations including setting the date to yyyymmdd and like. It just won't auto populate. It passes the script check in the script editor.
any ideas?
Thank you.

Thank you,
I tried the following - to no success.
FORM.Main.sgnPOC::postSign - (JavaScript, client)
var myDate=date()
FORM.Main.sgnPOCDate.rawValue = Num2Date(myDate, "YYYY-MM-DD")
I also tried this
FORM.Main.sgnPOC::postSign - (JavaScript, client)
var myDate=date()
$.rawValue = Num2Date(myDate, "YYYY-MM-DD")
Which also did not work, but wouldn't that need to know where to put the date?

Forms 11g auto-complete date field

Hi,
In forms60 we had a few registry keys that made it possible for the end user to type in parts of a date and have it auto-completed.
Example :
The user wants to type in 20/10/2010 but merely had to type in 20<ENTER>
This worked in forms60, is there a way to achieve this in forms 11g?
Thank you
PS: I have already tried
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YYYY
FORMS_OUTPUT_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YYYY
FORMS_USER_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/YYYY
In default.env with no luck.

Dear Christian, yes I am certain.
I just investigated it a little more and it appears it all depends on the following registry keys :
HKLM\Software\Oracle\forms60_user_date_format which has value : ddmmyyyy|ddmm|dd|dd/mm/yy|ddmmyy|dd/mm|dd/mm/yyyy
HKLM\Software\Oracle\forms60_user_datetime_format which has value : ddmmyyyyhh24mi|ddmmyyyy hh24mi|dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi|ddmm hh24mi|ddhh24mi|dd hh24mi|ddmmhh24mi|ddmmyyyyhh24mi
These appear to define in what formats a user can input a date.
The one I was talking about appears to be about the *|dd|* which would imply the user can input the day and the rest will be autocompleted.
I did find another thread about this issue, but it is for 10g and they never really found out the whys and hows...

Auto populate date field in form

Hi
I have been trying to get a field in a form to automatically populate with todays date. I have got a script which defines the default value for the field as: document.dform.currentdate.value=displayfirst+"/"+displaysecond+"/"+displaythird
where dform is the name of the form, and currentdate is the name of the field.
This works fine.
But I am using the form to populate another program, and the field name must be 00N20000001QbHo
I assumed therefore that I should use: document.dform.00N20000001QbHo.value=displayfirst+"/"+displaysecond+"/"+displaythird
But this does not work. In Dreamweaver the .00 appear red.
I suspect that I need to put 00N20000001QbHo in parentheses or something similar.
Can anyone help a newbie who doesn't know what he is doing? Full script below
<form name="dform">
<input type="text" name="00N20000001QbHo" size=11>
</form>
<script>
var mydate=new Date()
var theyear=mydate.getYear()
if (theyear < 1000)
theyear+=1900
var theday=mydate.getDay()
var themonth=mydate.getMonth()+1
if (themonth<10)
themonth="0"+themonth
var theday=mydate.getDate()
if (theday<10)
theday="0"+theday
var displayfirst=themonth
var displaysecond=theday
var displaythird=theyear
document.dform.00N20000001QbHo.value=displayfirst+"/"+displaysecond+"/"+displaythird
</script>

Auto generate date field.

Is there a simple method for automatically displaying the current date in a form field? My form may take several days to run through the process I've created but the customer would like the final step's date input to be automated.
Thanks,
Pat

You can create a variable of type 'date'.
Then with a setValue use the expression current-date() to get the current date.
Finally use the setValue to set the data element on your form with the value of your date variable.

Auto-Incrementing Date Field

In my report I have information on parts that have been ordered. I have the part number, date ordered, quantity ordered, date received, among others. What I want to do is insert a custom field that gives me each day that had transpired beteen the Date Ordered and the Date Received. I want one row for each intervening date, including the Date Ordered and the Date Received. How can I do that?

Hi,
I am not sure if you can get a dates between ordered date and received date. However you can get it as a comma separated list as a field.
Try following formula
numberVar d:= DateDiff ("d",{ABC.DT_ORD},{ABC.DT_RECEIVED} );
numberVar i;
StringVar abc;
StringVar inDate;
for i:=1 to d do
abc:=totext({ABC.DT_ORD} + d);
inDate:=inDate & abc & ",";
inDate;

How do I auto fill a date field for an Adobe form?

Hi. I am new to Acrobat. I would like to have Acrobat auto fill today's date in a date field when I open an acrobat form. I check the forum help and it indicated that I associate this javascript text to the field:
var f = this.getField("Today"); if (f.valueAsString=="") f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
However, when I try it out, nothing happens.
Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?
- Michael

Hi M. Krebs,
Is there a text field in the PDF labeled "Today" and set as a date field? And does the Date Options format set for the field match what is in the JavaScript (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Best,

Formatting a date field auto populated with Javascript

I have a date field, which I auto-populate to be the current days date with the following code:
var date=new Date();
var month=date.getMonth()+1;
this.rawValue=month+"/"+date.getDate()+"/"+(date.getYear()-100);
This works fine, but it comes out as 7/20/12 instead of 07/20/2012 like my pattern defines.
Whether or not I write my code to be the correct format, I always get an "Invalid format" error. How can I fix this?

The solutions is to format the date in YYYY-MM-DD when setting the raw value.
var date=new Date();
var month=date.getMonth()+1;
var day=date.getDate();
if(month<10){ month="0"+month; }
if(day<10) {day="0"+day; }
this.rawValue=date.getFullYear()+"-"+month+"-"+day;

Auto populate a date field in pdf

in the form I am working on I have a date/time field. I need it to populate the current date when the form is open. I get it to work but it has the time on it. I only need the date. when I try to change it to display just the date. It will not auto populate ? please help. Thank you for any one who can help.
using adobe livecycle ES

I found out how to use current date.
To add current date fields in LifeCycle
You can use a date/time field to automatically show the current date by using the Runtime Property option in the Value tab of the Object palette.
Note: When using a current date field, the date updates to reflect the system’s current date each time a user opens the form.
1. In the Object Library palette, click the Standard category and drag a Date/Time Field object onto the form design.
2. In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Calculated - Read Only from the Type list.
3. Select the Runtime Property option.
4. View the form in the Preview PDF tab.
Hope this helps!

Auto Date field and Auto Number field

I am fairly new to this,
I have crated a form using the form wizard in Acrobat Pro 9.0 and I would like to make a field an Auto date field and another an Auto Numbering field. I have read a lot of the posts and there are a lot of recommendation to point the auto number to a database. This is fine but I do not know how to reference that field to an external database. PLEASE HELP!!!! Somebody GEEK me!!

Can Acrobat auto populate a date field upon digital signature of a form?

We use several fillable forms with digital ID signature fields. A business rule requires a date field next to the signature field. Is it possible to define the date field to auto populate once the user signs the form? I can't check this in Acrobat since I only have the reader.

Hi,
The short answer is yes, but of course you'll need to get Acrobat to edit the PDF file.
Generically, here is what you are looking to do:
Open the Digital Signature Properties dialog
Select the Signed tab
Select the This script executes when the field is signed radio button
Click the Edit button
Add the code snippet below to the JavaScript editor
Click the OK button on the JavaScript editor
Click the Close button on the Digital Signature Properties dialog
// JavaScript code to add the date at signing time
    var currentTime = new Date()
    var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
    var day = currentTime.getDate()
    var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
    var signingTime = day +"/"+month+"/"+year //Modify into your preferred format
    var f = this.getField("Text1"); //Modify the field name as necessary
    f.value = signingTime;
Good luck,
Steve

How can I set the date field to auto populate the current date?

I have many forms to create where the current date dictates a specific change in options or conditions for the form filler to follow. I cannot see any way to handle that issue. Is it possible to simply set the current date as a default?

Sorry, we currently do not support having today's date show up in a date field by default

Formatted Search for Delivery Date field in SO not working

Hi All
Can anyone help me as to why my formatted search is not working?
I am currently using SAP B1A SP01 Patch 19.
I have created a user query as follows:
SELECT $ [$10.0.DATE] + 5
When I add this to the delivery field within the Sales Order and bring through the saved query which I set to auto refresh when the Posting Date field changes and to Display Saved Values it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks and best wishes
Gail

HI Gail,
If I am not mistaken you want to add days to the posting date...if that is so then try this out:
SELECT $[ORDR.DocDate.DATE]+5 From ORDR T0 For Browse
Set The indicator to Auto Refresh when the fields change
