Boiler plate text dsiappearing

I'm working on a project involving conversion of forms4.5 xter to forms6i xter (using forms 6.0.8.11.3) and i'm experiencing this weird and peculiar situation where by when i use the developer to compile my form all seems to be ok and on the other hand when i use command prompt half of my boiler plate text disappear when the form is put into enter-query mode. The form is running on unix platform. Has anybody experience this or have an answer to this problem? Urgent please.

Are you saying that sometimes there is no space for these boilerplate items so they wrap to the following page?
If this is the case then you could try setting page protect on the frame so that reports will try and keep all the objects together. If there's still no space then Reports should still put the boilerplate on the following page (it needs to put it somewhere).
Hope this helps,
Danny

Moving Boiler Plates from one frame to another

Hi, I'm using reports 6i.
I've created a group above report. But i dont want the labels (of the group) to repeat in the report
like now the report looks like
*Code*        *Description*            *Mode*
tcode        tdesc                    tmode
                 Chargecode           Desc
                  chrg1                    descchrg1
                  chrg2                    descchrg2
Code         Description             Mode
....I want to avoid repeating the 'Code Description Mode' labels.
Now those boiler plates are in the repeating frame along with their value fields.How can i make those labels non repeating?

You first set the confine mode Off, then just drag those bilerplate taxts out of the repeating frame. And, eventually arrange the fields in that frame resize that repeating frame.

Programmatically repostion a piece of B/Plate Text

Hello:
I was wondering whethjer it is possible to programmatically repostion a piece of B/Plate Text in Reps 6i at runtime.
E.g. IF :Param_1 = 'A' THEN move boilerplate_text from bottom right hand of screen to bottom left.
thanks.
N.

Hi Nicholas,
you cannot programmaticaly change the position of the BPlate but you can use two of them. Therefore for one condition you'll have the format trigger of the first one return true and for the second one return false, and vice versa for a different condition.

Maybe you check the NLS_LANGUAGE-settings on the client where you "edit" the reports-definition.

How to add text to the summary

I wanted to add a text to my summ total on my report.
The forum told me to add a boiler plate text item. However this item displays on every page.. I want it to only display where the summary is. I tried using anchors but it will not attach to the summary item.. Help
howard

Hi Howard,
I guess you are referring to this post:
How do i add text to the summary
First make sure that you place the boilerplate exactly where you had (or currently have) the summary column, ie, in the SAME frame or repeating frame.
Second, open the property inspector for your summary column. Find the properties "Print Object On" and "Base Printing on", and make sure that both of these are the same for your boilerpate as for your summary column.

Screen size keeps changing

sometimes when i am working in adobe cc suddenly my screen size changes and I cannot figure out why or how to change it back. Has this happened to anyone else?

Best practices: Usage
That's suspiciously like 'Boiler Plate Text'. Did you have to pay Station royalties? ;-) Actually, it is rather better than the version Ramon wheels out. I think I'll grab the link for my big page of ready forum responses. :-)
Possible reasons a window would change size
Ctrl or Alt Spacebar and left click drag (standard zoom feature)
or my best guess, he has Zoom with mouse wheel check in General preferences. This operates completely by itself, (no other key needed) so would be very easy to make happen unintentionally.

Applescript to automatically reply to an email

Hi, I'm trying to create a script in Lion that will send an automatic reply to messages I receive with the subject line "Here's your offer". I am a BCC recipient of these messages, and I want to send the message to the actual recipient, not to the sender.
I created a rule to run an Applescript if the subject is "Here's your offer" but it's not doing anything. Even if it were working, I'm sure it's missing the code to send the message to the recipient in the To: field of the triggering message. I'd love some input on this script:
using terms from application "Mail"
          on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
                    tell application "Mail"
                              repeat with thisMessage in theMessages
                                        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
                                        set thisSender to sender of theMessages
                                        set theNewMessage to reply thisMessage with opening window
                                        tell theNewMessage
                                                  set content to "Test message"
                                        end tell
send theNewMessage
                              end repeat
                    end tell
          end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from

It is possible to create a new mail message using Applescript, and to send the message, or to bring up the new message window for further editing before sending. If, however, you start with the new message window (or a reply window, effectively the same thing) I don't think it is possible to have Applescript manipulate the new message, as there is no reference to it.
Unless your "boiler plate" text is very long, I would suggest looking at TextExpander. I strted using it back when it was freeware, but it has since gone commercial, for around $30, I think. It is a keystroke monitor, and when it sees keystroke sequences which you define it automatically replaces them with (or appends to them - your choice) predefined text. I don't know how long the replacement text can be - I only use short sequences - but you can have any number of sequences. So for example I type a.k.z (dots inserted to stop it working!) and it replaces it with my initials and the html link to my elephant icon. If you go for it I would recommend giving all your sequences the same pattern - mine are all two characters followed by z, so that ordinary words don't get accidentally substituted.

How to change the column heading as the column changes

dear memebrs,
Take an example fo the table EMP. I need to create a report whose parameters are the table column names. so depending on the parameter(which is the column name) the report o/p changes.
so i am dynamically selecting the table column names and getting the o/p. The problem is when the column changes the heading of it in the report o/p is not changing.
we have to use format trigger for this, but i am not sure what code should we write in the format trigger of the boiler plate text of the column heading , such that it changes in accordance with the input which is nothing but column name.
for ex: If i choose EMPNO as the parameter then my column heading should become Employee Number and so on.......
your comments are welcomed
regards
sandeep

you can use a formula column of datatype character and of any width needed instead of a boilerplate text for the heading name.
In the formula column you can write code like below
IF :P_COLUMN_NAME = EMPNO THEN
return('Employee Number');
ELSIF :P_COLUMN_NAME = SAL THEN
return('Salary');
END IF;
where P_COLUMN_NAME the name of the column selected dynamically(i.e. the parameter).

How to insert special character from Oracle form builder 10g

Dear all,
I need help. how to insert special character like 'Superscript or Subscript ' from oracle form builder 10g. I had try in Oracle form builder 6i with press ALT+ASCII code in the text item and it work, but in the oracle form builder 10g this method doesn't work... would you like to help me...somebody please...
Best Regard,
Dedy P.T.

What do you mean by insert ... from Forms Builder? Do you mean you want to add it as text in a string of pl/sql code or as part of boiler plate text (label) or a value on the Property Palette?
For special characters you would need set NLS_LANG to something that would support the characters you want to use. For the Builder to see the change, you would need to set NLS_LANG to something like:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
This can be done in the Windows Registry or system. As I mentioned, this will only apply to the Builder and will have nothing to do with a running form. For running forms you would need to set this in default.env. As for things like super and sub scripts, these are font formats and not necessarily characters. For the most part, I don't believe these are supported in Forms.

Recovery Disk Assistant Under Mavericks Says "Lion"

Problem: Mac Pro with soft RAID died. I think it got a hosed up OS update. Since it has a soft RAID, it does not have a recovery partition.
Apparent solution: We also have MacBook Pro that was, until yesterday, still running Lion. I upgraded it to Mavericks.
On the MacBook Pro, now running Mavericks, I am following the instructions in OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant to create a Mavericks recovery disk on a USB thumb drive ("jump drive," "USB stick," or whatever you want to call it).
Everything went fine until I ran the Recovery Disk Assistant, which seems to be claiming that it's creating a Lion recovery disk rather than a Mavericks recovery disk. Two possible explanation come to mind:
The recovery partition on the MacBook Pro it's copying onto the jump drive is still a Lion recovery partition, despite having upgraded to Mavericks, and it really is in fact creating a Lion recovery disk.
The Recovery Disk Assistant has outdated graphics and boiler-plate text, so despite what it says, it really is creating a Mavericks recovery disk.
Anybody know which is the case?

Hmmm... Looks like it may not ultimately matter, because when I boot the Mac Pro with the option key down, it doesn't seem to see the USB drive anyway...
Nevertheless, if any of you know the answer, I'd be interested to know, just in case it comes in handy elsewhere.

HELP ! Conditional Print

I need to produce a printed master/details report, which will contain boiler plate text in cases
where the number of detailed records retrieved will be less than one page e.g. if a normal page should
contain 5 detailed records and only 3 records were retrieved from the DB, a boiler plate text should be
printed for these two records. If you can send sample from the scott/tiger schema it will be great !
