BigDecimal scale, rounding and ArithmeticException

Can anyone refer me to a good article or site where the appropriate use of the BigDecimal Class is shown. I keep having a lot of ArithmeticException especially when doing division or setting scale. It is becoming frustrating that I refer to doing calculation with double and changing them back to BigDecimals.
Thanks in advance

but my most confusing part of the use of MathContext object.
the rounding up constants are also easy to use, but the java doc does not really explain the vital importants of the MathContext class.
I would appreciate if you can throw light on the class MathContext.
Regards,
MichaelSome light on MathContext: The int you specify when you make it is the number of decimal places it will use at a maximum. By default I'm pretty sure it rounds half up. You can apply it to an operation like BigDecimal.divide(BigDecimal, MathContext); It should work for stuff like subtract and multiply in the same way.

Why doesn't Photoshop CS5 automatically scale strokes and effects?

I am looking everywhere for why Photoshop CS5 doesn't automatically scale strokes and effects. I could've sworn there was a preference in CS4 but there's nothing resembling this in CS5. Driving me crazy!
Whenever I do a Free Transform, the effects are completely out of whack and force me to waste time resetting them individually, layer by layer. I used to be able to grab any object or group of objects, do a transformation and Photoshop automatically recalculated. If anyone has a tip on how to avoid the annoyance of having to go layer by layer and forcibly adjusting that would be great.

Layer style effect setting are in absolute pixel size values so if you change the scale of a layer the style size remains the same. You can edit the layers style effects after tou do a transform on the layer and change the absolute setting. If the layer has been rastersized or flattened you can not. I have request that Adobe add support for relative settings like inches, cm, mm etc which is relative to the documents dpi resolution. This would be very helpful for recording actions.
However photoshop can scale existing layer style for you when you use Image Size there is a check box. If you need to scale a single layer and have its style scaled you need to do it in a round about way. Convert the layer to a smart object. Then instead of using transform double click on the layser smart object icon in the layers palette. Photoshop will open that layer embedded smart object in Photoshop for you to work on it.. Use Image Size to resize the layer up or down in size and check resample constrain and the scale style check box. Then use menu File>Save. Photoshop will then update the embedded smart object in the smart object layer and you can close the document Photoshop opened for you to work on the smart object.

My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.
Thanks

Sql query usig round and decode together

can i get one sql quer for returning whole number using round and decode function
eg:
the value 47
if value=47
then
the query should return 50
if the value =44
then
the quer should return 40
pls give me sql query for above example using round and decode function
Edited by: user11368167 on Jul 9, 2009 3:35 AM

A wild guess. If you want the ROUND Function to work only when your column value is 44 or 47 then you could use something like:
SQL> WITH test_tab AS
2       (SELECT 44 col_1
3          FROM DUAL
4        UNION ALL
5        SELECT 15 col_1
6          FROM DUAL
7        UNION ALL
8        SELECT 47 col_1
9          FROM DUAL
10        UNION ALL
11        SELECT 45 col_1
12          FROM DUAL)
13          -- end of test data
14 SELECT col_1,
15         DECODE (col_1,
16                 44, ROUND (col_1, -1),
17                 47, ROUND (col_1, -1),
18                 col_1
19                ) rounded_value
20    FROM test_tab
21 /
     COL_1 ROUNDED_VALUE
        44            40
        15            15
        47            50
        45            45
4 rows selected.
SQL> CASE Statement can be used as well instead of DECODE.
Good Luck,

HT1414 Itunes just goes round and round when i tap on recent purchases and cant get at recent songs purchased on my non apple laptop. I don't connect my iPad to a computer. How do I tackle this?

When I open iTunes on my iPad and tap on purchased for music, the timer just goes round and round and won't find my purchased tunes and I can't therefore download any new items I have bought. Any suggestions on how to reload the software?

Make sure you have a good wifi connection.
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

XY Graph-Setting Y-Scale visible to False still Shows Corresponding Y scale Max and Min

Hi Guys,
I use XY graph to display the data with 3 Y-scales.
When I set any Y scale Visiblity property to False,its still display the Y scale Max and Min range Lines in plot area of the Graph and making cross line or extra parralel line with other visible scales.
Attached the screen shot for ref.
And I know the cross line may be due to different Y scales range setting.But XY graph should not display the invisible Y scales and its property as well.
please provide your suggestions to avoid that.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The scales and the lines associated with those scales are separate properties. I have never tried it, and right now I am not at a computer, but there should be properties for setting the grid line colors. Set them to transparent.

Went to use my ipad tonight and the screen is blank except for a little circle going round and round and I ccant switch the device off

Went to use my ipad tonight and the screen is black with just a small circle in the middle going round and round. I thought i would switch it off but it wont let me do that either. HELP

Try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How do i cancel after the circles of hell go round and round?

I have been in the circles of hell trying to cancel my subscription which my credit card, i was surprised to learn, had been charged for- only to find it is already cancelled! See below
Adobe ExportPDF, Annual
Cancelled: Effective February 2, 2016
Restart
But I have just been billed for it anyway. And probably be billed for it in another year - 2016. And then it will probably "automatically" (see fine print) restart.and so on till i am very very old. interesting to see on other posts that cancelling the credit card does not help which seems odd but then again after two hours of wandering round and round the site (love the hilarity of the non-functioning chat icon - much hilarity every Christmas in the accounting department.) I'm not surprised. It is clear that adobe has one of the most difficult "unsubscribes" online. Despite the professionals hunting them down and killing them, there are still websites devoted to the topic of why can't I unsubscribe and why is this so hard and surely this is illegal. Adobe clearly makes most of its money out of the unsubscribe because the two products I bought didn't work anyway. Fair enough, should have known, but remind me to employ a lawyer in future before even opening an adobe document.

Hi there,
Sorry for the frustrating experience, looking at the account I could see the billing has been stopped for the subscription and you will continue to have the access to software till 2016.
Please update this thread if you would like to cancel the subscription and get refund.

Pay Scale Group and PS Level

Hi everyone,
We use Pay Scale Group and PS Level in our company (values are defaulted in IT0008); Sometimes we need to add new pay scale groups and levels, that is done in customizing client and transported to productive system using transport requests.
Is there any other way to give permission to users to create new pay scale groups and levels directly in produqctive system?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Tata

Hello
In general practice it is not recommended to directly create PS grp and level in production as it needs a lot of testing.It may create problem in production.
Try to follow the transport process.

TARIF: Default Pay Scale Type and Area in the Basic Pay
Object
Feature
Task
With this feature you control whether the default value is determined
     from the T001P from the personnel area and personnel subarea, or whether
     the default value is determined direct from the feature.
The return value must have the form xx/yy, when xx is the pay scale
     type, and yy the pay scale area.
If the feature returns SPACE as a value, then the value pay scale type
     or pay scale area is determined by table T001P. If the value does not
     equal SPACE, then this value will be taken as the pay scale type or pay
     scale area.
You can either enter return both values or only one of the two values.
     The missing value is determined from table T001P.

Hey
I don't know if my mac book air is frozen, but the screen is gray with the apple logo in the middle of the gray screen, with the 'booting' icon turning round and round. I have switched it off fron both the power and power button on the computer, it goes off, when I put it on, same screen comes on again. Help Please!

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 3
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 4
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 5
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 6
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 6.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 7
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 8
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 9
Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 10
This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 11
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
