Modifying the lengh of a long text field- Crystal Report version 2011

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the long text field in my crystal report.
I'll desribe the problem:
We work with BW version 7.4 sp 5.
I created a BEX Report with an infobject of type Long Text (Long Text is XL).
I know the length of this field is 1,333 char.
When I run the Bex Report the field is displayed correctly (long text).
I then created a Crystal Report 2011 version 14.0.6.1036 RTM based on my BEX Query.
The problem is that the Crystal report brought this database long text field as a
String[70]. Thus I get only the first 70 characters of the field.
Can we modify the settings of the field to enlarge it to be 1,333 characters in
length?
Thank you,
Ayelet

Hi Jothi,
Short Text and Long Text are associated objects of a Characteristic from a BEx query.
The 'Short Text' will not turn to 'Long Text' by setting the 'Can Grow' option.
In Fact, both are completely different objects.

How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms?

Hello all,
How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms? This might sound trivial but I have a problem with a PL/SQL Validation that I have written.
I have one select list (P108_CLUSTER_ID) and one Text field (P108_PRIVATE_IP). I made P108_CLUSTER_ID to return null value when nothing is selected and assumed P108_PRIVATE_IP to return null value too when nothign is entered in the text field.
All that I need is to validate if P108_PRIVATE_IP is entered when a P108_CLUSTER_ID is selected. i.e it is mandatory to enter Private IP when a cluster is seelcted and following is my Pl/SQL code
Declare
v_valid boolean;
Begin
IF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
v_valid := TRUE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
v_valid := TRUE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
v_valid := FALSE;
ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
v_valid := FALSE;
END IF;
return v_valid;
END;
My problem is it is returning FALSE for all the cases.It works fine in SQL Command though..When I tried to Debug and use Firebug, I found that Text fields are not stored a null by default but as empty strings "" . Now I tried modifying my PL/SQL to check Private_IP against an empty string. But doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how I need to proceed.
Thanks

See SQL report for LIKE SEARCH I have just explained how Select list return value works..
Cheers,

How to autopopulate a text field with unique data from multiple data sets

Hi,
I'm a laboratory manager in charge of a hospital project which will be using pdf forms to send and receive data from our end users across the city. I need help with the last part of our pdf form, specifically with a js that will do a bit of text-field autopopulation magic. This, unfortunately, is a beyond what I have taught myself about pdf js functionality.a
The problem:
I need to provide my end users with a text field containing a set of data [A, B, C, D, E, F ...] and the total items in this set [tot#]. The end user needs this information as part of the implementation of this particular laboratory machine.
The particulars
When the end user asks for an experiment to be run, we must specify some pieces of data to help them interpret the results. These are constructed as panels which contain discrete data elements.
For example - One experiment may use two panels, Panel#1 and Panel #2. Panel #1 includes the items A, B, D, E, Panel #2 includes the items A, B, C, F, G.
Thus, the panels may share some of the same items, but, I only want the unique members to be displayed in the text field. If I make a drop down box or checkboxes with the panels, I want to be able to select the panels that we ran and (in this example) have the text field display only the unique items among all the panels that were used:
textfield outpute = A, B, C, D, E, F, G - 7 total.
Any assistance from the pdf community would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for that help.
I should have made it more apparent that I'm very new to scripting and I'm
not a programmer by trade. I have a few questions before modifying the code
you kindly provided.
1) Where should I embed this script? Within the 'selection change' area of
my listbox?
2) Can I replace the term 'arr' with the names of the various items in my
listbox or should I put 'arr#' as the output value for each term?
3) Will this script find and display the unique values when a user selects
multiple items in my listbox?
4) How does the script know where to output the unique members of the
combined set?
I appreciate your patience with me.

Populate a drop down list with data from Excel and fill in a text field, based on drop down selectio

Hi!
I have a problem with a PDF form: There's a drop down list that I populate with Excel data that I've put in an XML file through an XSD file -- no problem here. The drop down list has a data binding to the XML file, so that a choice in the drop down list can be associated with an object in the XML file. So, when I make a choice in the drop down list, a corresponding object value is fetched from the XML file and put in a text field on the form.
How to do this is described by Stefan Cameron here:
http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/07/29/dynamic-properties/
There's a snag, though, and to describe it more clearly:
The XML file contains three types of objects: role, role number, and role cost center. Of these I use the first and the third, i.e. the role and the role cost center. The drop down list contains the roles, and when I select a role, the corresponding cost center is filled out in the text field. So far, so good!
But -- if the cost center has the same value for two or more roles, all of these roles "bounce back" into the drop down list, that is, they are all selected in the drop down list. How many of these you can see depend on the height of the drop down list -- if it's low you'll only see the first one.
If I modify Stefan Cameron's data in his example I get the same behavior, so the problem seems to have to do with how XML data are fetched.
I'm sure there's a workaround, but I can't find it! I've spent many hours browsing the web without finding anyone with a similar problem.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Although your issue is far beyond mine, I was hoping you can help me out.....
I need to create a drop down list of names which I wish to somehow link to an Excel spreadsheet.
Please let me know the steps I need to do. I've tried several things, but nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thank you

How to create a pdf/a-1b with a text field

hello, I'm trying to execute a very simple task: create a pdf/a-1b containig a text field.
using Acrobat XI pro, I created a simple pdf form with 1 form field of type text , then tried to save as pdf/A-1b. The pdf is saved but the form field is removed from resulting pdf.
Here in detail the steps I made:
0) configure adobe pdf printer to save as pdf/A-1b
1) creat a test.txt with notepad
2) print using acrobat pdf printer
3) open the generated pdf with Acrobat XI
4) in 'Standards' panel I see that pdf conform
5) now go to 'Tools\Modules' and 'Modify'
6) add a textbox field
7) exit from 'Modify' mode and save
8) in 'Standards' panel I see that pdf doesn't conform.
9) I opened the preflight tool and see two errors
     a) "XMP property for a page object not predefined and no extension schema present".
     page reports the following Trigger values:
     - Extension schema is present in XMP: is not true
     - Property exists in PDF/A Standard: is not true
     b) Form field does not have an appearance dictionary
     page reports the following Trigger values:
     - Form field has an appearance dictionary: is not true
I'm quite new to Acrobat: simply downloaded the Actobat XI evaluation version, created the file and added the text field. No special settings nor other configurations was applied,
I'm wondering if someone else was able to reproduce this behavior.
thank you for any comment

First, about invalidating the PDF/A. I was told, but never had this confirmed nor tested, that editing a PDF/A will automatically cause the PDF/A status to be deleted from the file. This is because Acrobat does not know about the compatibility of every edit with every current (and future) PDF subset standard, so it is safest just to remove the indicator - if you turn off Adobe's PDF/A view mode which will prevent editing anyway.
Now, you have a problem with the signatures. Possibly a very big one. Your description "2) fill the text field with some annotations and then sign the signature field 3) save the pdf" is a little too separated. At the time a file is signed it is saved, the hash calculated, and written to the file. So signing and saving are just one action. Yet an unsigned digital signature needs, it seems to me, no appearance.
I think the solution is a simple one. Sign it, but not with a signature field. If it is PDF/A when you start it is probably PDF/A when you finish. Signature fields seem a distraction and obstacle to the important thing, signing.

Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Nifty Styles
(Norfolk, England)
P.S. I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,
Nifty

Change font color in the Text Field of a Popup Key LOV

Hello,
I have a question concerning Popup Key LOV.
I want to change the font color in the Text Field of the Popup Key LOV Item.
I searched the forum but I cannot find an answer about this! Although I searched the CSS and the Popup Key LOV Template, but I do not know where to modify the font color.
Has anyone an idea how to solve that problem?

How to add new text field in standard report

Hi,
I presume you are talking about a report display in ALV and u wish to add a column to it .
If it is a global requirement ,as in table being used there in ALV can be modified, then you can append the table and the system should pick up the same automatically from there.
Otherwise , you can make a Z program . Modify the catalog being used in ALV.

How to "encapsulate" a data from a text field in a JSP form

Hi. I'm trying to make a user's registration jsp page and I'm not sure how I could get the data from a JSP form from the user and store that into some variable that I could later pass to a query to modify the database. I've been using a JavaBean, but I get null values for all the fields of the jsp page. That's logical, since I cannot find a method that will read the user's input and store that into some variable. In my JavaBean, I have get and set methods that will return a String for each of the form fields such as first name and email. The set method will have in a String as a parameter to set that field value (whichever field it is) to the value of the input parameter, but I don't know if there is a method or a way to read and store the values entered by the user into the jsp form. This is a code snippet of the jsp form:
<TR><TD>First Name: </TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="fname"
VALUE="<%= newUser.getFirstName() %>"></TD></TR>
Here, the getFirstName() method simply returns the value of a String value related to the user's first name, which is initialized as null in the JavaBean. newUser is the name of the JavaBean that I'm using.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

haha...nevermind this question also guys...I found out that I could use the request.getParameter("some_String") method with my JavaBean to read and store data entered by the user in a text field.

EasySign: Can I or can't I modify filled fields?!

Is it just me, or is Acrobat EchoSign a user-hostile piece of garbage? I am using Reader 10.1.3. Below is a form I'd love to fill out and perhaps "sign" with a TIFF of my signature, but first I have to type in some fields. Getting to this point took me 20 minutes this morning:
(Sorry about the furry JPEG; Adobe Forums only passively informed me after I tried saving to three non-antialiasing "content types" that it would only accept the JPEG.)
If you will look at the name field under the "YOUR INFORMATION" section, you'll see three blue blotches reflecting three multiple-selections of zero-length text area boxes from the list at the right. Those objects are the result of my patiently left-clicking the I-beam over my name in an effort to modify the text I've entered in each field. Each time I did so, I would briefly see a blip appear under the I-beam, but it would not allow me to edit my text. The blip, of course, was a zero-length text area box being created. I persisted because at one moment I swear I did see an arrow icon and it let me make a blue selection over one patch of my text, but then for some reason when I typed nothing happened, and then the apparition vanished and I could not repeat it. And it was only after a few minutes, when in frustration I started playing with right-clicking over a text field, that I discovered the "Comments List" so useless to me.
There are now dozens of these mini-boxes all over the sheet (just look at how the "Comments List" has 86 entries instead of the 12 that actually contain text). But this means I can't edit something once I've finished a text, doesn't it? If so, why not? Why is it not clear to me, a sophisticated user? Why the bizarre and unpredictable behavior? Or am I some kind of idiot, not having found the correct incantation? Perhaps one of Adobe's priestly programmers or myriad sycophants will now enlighten us all, tacitly suggesting that it's merely my stupidity, for They Knew the Blessed Secret Their First Time.
I've searched pretty exhaustively for a solution to this and so far have found nothing, but perhaps that's because I've only budgeted 45 minutes for this would-be simple task. Am I going to have to pull this file into Illustrator, or print it out and mail it?
Twenty or so years ago, I was probably the first or second person outside of Mountain View to be shown the alpha of Carousel. Since that moment -- and despite having held out hope numerous times -- I still can't easily fill out a document online without heartache. Why can't I edit a field? What am I going to have to do when I want to modify a multi-line field? My workarounds over the years have run the gamut of every possible thing you can imagine, from scanning into Photoshop or Illustrator or Quark or InDesign; to blind fields and double-exposures on a laser printer; to glue; even to hacking the fields into the PostScript with setfonts and movetos and shows.
I've spent 40 years in the graphic arts; half of them I've wrestled with Acrobat, on some pretty complex work products having features of debatable benefit when shoehorned into PDF format. When it comes to the simple single-page monochrome Letter/A4 form -- the most abundant portable document on Earth -- we are now in Acrobat v10 and all I want to do is easily fill out a form and sign it and e-mail it back and I still can't.
Why is life so much harder now than when I could run this through a typewriter, Adobe? What are you really doing about it for the billions? How much more of our lives' valuable moments are you going to squander?
(P.S. What a difference almost a day makes: Hours after beginning this -- and just before submitting this article -- I myself have discovered the incantation with a few minutes' further experimentation over the many already expended. I can now recreate the arrow and edit the field. It is actually not difficult, but it is far from obvious and it is the furthest thing from good UI technique. Nevertheless, I now Know The Blessed Secret, or at least one part of it. But it does not change my position above. Can you surmise why, O Adobe Priesthood of Insufferable Sanctimony? If it takes a seasoned programmer hours to learn out the combination, what makes you think Grandma and Grandpa are ever going to figure it out?)

You do it unconsciously; we are all forced into these mentalities by our circumstances. But all three of you experts were wrong about who listens, at least when you pray as loudly as I do:

Hi Peter,
This is Kevin M. Lynch and I run the Acrobat & Document Services business at Adobe (coincidentally our CTO is also named Kevin Lynch, but I’m not him - I run the document business).
I saw your forum post (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1058887) and want to apologize for the difficulties you’re having filling out and signing a form.
It’s certainly our intention to make this a very easy process so I’m glad you went to the trouble to let us know that it was a frustrating experience for you.
Frustrating to me, but mainly because it is no doubt frustrating for (literally) billions of others less sophisticated than me. That is my main concern, and the ball I keep my eyes on. I feel terribly sorry for them.From what I can gather, you had no problem knowing where to go and click the “Sign” panel on the right and then clicking the add text button (and let me know if otherwise).
Well, that's a separate issue. I intuited that it was what I might need to fill out a basic form. But most people won't get even that.
But then there were two issues that prevented filling out and signing the form from being drop-dead easy:
1) After adding text the first time (which was hopefully easy – let me know if not), you couldn’t go back and correct it. Every time you tried, you ended up inserting a new blank text block. It would have been much nicer if we had a wider selection range so that if you clicked anywhere near a field that was already added we just selected it and allowed you to edit it.
I don't know about the width of the selection range; it seemed to me that there was *no* selection tolerance. I was rolling all over the text looking for it to catch and it wouldn't, hence 75 null textareas. (Possibly the cursor just was refusing to change from I-beam to arrow, I reasoned, and clicked, but did not get into an edit mode.) My sense is that it was not going to give me an arrow no matter where I went. My workaround (which few of your millions will be patient enough to discover) was forcibly exit the I-beam mode by going to the "Place Signature" mode and then re-enter the "Add Text" mode, which then readily showed me an arrow whenever I rolled near/over a textarea, and then let me click into the textarea and modify it.
I'm not on the subject machine. I'm on a brand-new laptop now and just upgraded its Reader from the factory 10.0.0 to 10.1.4 to get EchoSign and see if I can reproduce it here. On the same document, I appear now to be able to roll over created textareas and click the I-beam over them and get in. So it's not a global issue. The exhibiting machine is, I think, a Lenovo with Windows XP, but I will have to check this. If you need specific installation information to help isolate, please tell me what you need.
But I'm seeing some wrong behaviors even now:
While in "Add Text" mode (even when appearing to function properly, as on this installation), the elongated I-beam cursor does not morph to anything else as I roll over, so there is insufficient feedback prompting me to know I can modify the field.
This is inconsistent with what I experience when I escape "Add Text" mode. (I find I can escape "Add Text" either by entering "Insert Signature," as I note above, or in another way, by manually closing the editing palette by clicking its close box.) When I move out, I appear to be in a free-cursor mode; it now prompts me with a change to an arrowhead cursor whenever I roll over a textarea, and then it puts me into something unexpected called "Typewriter" mode (the only surface indication of the difference is that a lozenge in the editing palette now says "Typewriter" instead of "Add Text".
It is altogether unclear the functional difference between "Typewriter" mode and "Add Text" mode, or the purpose of having two different identities for two modes that seem to share some functions. Their behavior, however, is different enough to cause confusion. This could be streamlined quite a bit.
Editing text (new or modifying) in either of these two text modes appears to be operating one pixel below the finished text after repainting.
2) You couldn’t add a TIFF image as signature. I’ll have to have my team look into this as I can add one without any problems on my system. However, like you, I don’t understand why we don’t have both TIF & TIFF in the filter so I’ll have to follow up with my team to see if there is any reason for that.
This may also be local to that machine I was on Friday. When I return to Chicago I can check this, if it's important to you and if you are confident that doing so will bear fruit.
Am I correct in that those were the two issues or were there others? Once you went off the beaten path into comments you could see that we use the commenting capability, but our intent is to have it easy enough that you would never go there. If it helps to clean up your document, you can select each blank comment in the right side panel and hit the delete key to get rid of them.
See above, which gives you some more information. As you can glean from between all of my acerbic comments, I felt that the user experience was in many places carelessly thought through. You provide another case in point above, speaking of "Comments" mode. The three modes -- "Add Text," "Typewriter," and "Comments" -- obviously are genetically related. Their respective purposes become indistinct and confusing to the casual user. The basic shift from mode to mode is confusing; tool depth level and state are uncertain; use metaphor for each tool is nonstandard, inconsistent, and counterintuitive; visual feedback is lacking or inconsistent; and I think in some generals and some specifics each tool's entry point and interface needs to be reworked. I realize that you're constrained by the Reader API UI, so you don't have infinite flexibility, but there are still some basic things you can do.
Even with a working installation as I have here, it is confusing. On my View menu, I have two "Sign" and two "Tools" items. Why? I can't seem to find how to get back into "Typewriter" mode. What is it? Where is its entry point? Is it part of Sign or is it part of something else?
Form filling could use some user workshopping to figure out how to make it intuitive. Starting from the top, ideally, Acrobat Forms, if implemented in a document, should be user-seamless with EchoSign. Whether a document is forms-enabled or not, ideally the tools should have the same look and feel. I am skeptical about that being easy. But George Johnson raised the point that you now have two distinct products serving (from the user's perspective) identical purposes. If Reader is going to be user-centric, that proposition needs to be taken into account right away. Starting with that, a universal text editing palette for both Forms and EchoSign (whatever the underlying difference) might be in order. Distinguishing among text "in stone" (the immutable background PDF); malleable superimposed text fields and images (e.g., signature); and comments needs to be treated.
If I were god, just off the top of my head, tomorrow I would open all Acrobat documents by default in a basic "Add Text [e.g., fields and comments] or Image [e.g.,signature]" mode with a universal text-cum-graphics palette, similar to what you have but switchable within between text and image (consider PageMaker's old universal palette, dumbed down). If forms-enabled, the text palette would be activated and the cursor inside Field 1 ready to type. If not, you have an I-beam as the default. You could switch to Image mode within the palette and the palette would provide a signature subfunctionality (including EchoSign's capability of retaining as default signatureStamp), or other image type. Maybe outside that mode is panning and zooming, maybe panning and zooming are hierarchically equal to those two modes. I at least believe that the key to this is that text / comments // signatureStamp / images should now be as basic to Reader as pan/zoom. How to make those two modes intuitively switchable by the grandparents is probably not so tricky, but I would have to think about that a bit more.
I appreciate the time you’ve already taken to struggle through this and provide feedback. I personally want to eliminate the need to print out, sign, and fax back these stupid forms!
You and a few billion others. Thanks for the prompt response.
Regards,
Kevin

Field BSEG-HKTID does not exist in the additional data Screen

Hi
We are facing a problem while posting the parked document. Field BSEG-HKTID does not exist in the screen SAPLF040 0331.
As we want to avoid entering the field-data at the time of payment proposal run using T.code F110, we prefer to enter at the time of posting a parked document or at the time of parking.
We had checked the field status (of Posting key and GL) and its not available.
We refered note 953374 House bank details: Account ID in the document. It asks to activate the RE-FX component. However, we are not in the real estate business hence not logical to do so. How do we need to proceed?

To do the same change with the transaccion FB02 y FB03, create an enhancemente point in the program: SAPMF05L dynpro: 1301, module: DYNPRO_MODIFIKATION, at the of perform open_fi_dynpro_mod and write:
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF sy-tcode = 'FB02'.
    IF screen-name = 'BSEG-HKTID'.
      screen-input = 1.
      screen-invisible = 0.
      screen-active = 1.
      screen-output = 1.
      screen-group4 = ' '.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
elseif sy-tcode = 'FB03'.
      IF screen-name = 'BSEG-HKTID'.
      screen-input = 0.
      screen-invisible = 0.
      screen-active = 1.
      screen-output = 1.
      screen-group4 = ' '.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
endif.
ENDLOOP.
and, all ready.
