Sapscript calling forms from program

Hi experts
I need to write a form in a program to get values.
Here is my code. But i cant seem to succesfully compile it. Need help. I want to take
ernam from sapscript and send name and lastname back. Can u please fill the function.
Also i have an error says itcyy is not a structure ?
thanks.
REPORT ZME23N_SAPSCR_FM.
tables : user_Addr.
form get_Values TABLES IN_PAR STUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_PAR STRUCTURE ITCSY.
*READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'ERNAM'.
*data firstname like user_addr-name_first.
*select single * from user_Addr
*where bname = ernam.
*firstname = user_Addr-name_first.
*lastname = user_addr-name_last.
endform.

You can use the PERFORM command to call an ABAP subroutine
(form) from
any program, subject to the normal ABAP runtime
authorization
checking. You can use such calls to subroutines for
carrying out
calculations, for obtaining data from the database that is
needed at
display or print time, for formatting data, and so on.
PERFORM commands, like all control commands, are executed
when a
document is formatted for display or printing.
Communication between a
subroutine that you call and the document is by way of
symbols whose
values are set in the subroutine.
The system does not execute the PERFORM command within
SAPscript
replace modules, such as TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE or
TEXT_INCLUDE_REPLACE.
The replace modules can only replace symbol values or
resolve include
texts, but not interpret SAPscript control commands.
Syntax in a form window:
/: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
/: USING &INVAR1&
/: USING &INVAR2&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
/: ENDPERFORM
INVAR1 and INVAR2 are variable symbols and may be of any of
the four
SAPscript symbol types.
OUTVAR1 and OUTVAR2 are local text symbols and must
therefore be
character strings.
The ABAP subroutine called via the command line stated
above must be
defined in the ABAP report prog as follows:
FORM <form> TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
ENDFORM.
The values of the SAPscript symbols passed with /: USING...
are now
stored in the internal table IN_TAB . Note that the system
passes the
values as character string to the subroutine, since the
field Feld
VALUE in structure ITCSY has the domain TDSYMVALUE (CHAR
80). See the
example below on how to access the variables.
The internal table OUT_TAB contains names and values of the
CHANGING
parameters in the PERFORM statement. These parameters are
local text
symbols, that is, character fields. See the example below
on how to
return the variables within the subroutine.
From within a SAPscript form, a subroutine GET_BARCODE in
the ABAP
program QCJPERFO is called. Then the simple barcode
contained there
('First page', 'Next page', 'Last page') is printed as
local variable
symbol.
Definition in the SAPscript form:
/: PERFORM GET_BARCODE IN PROGRAM QCJPERFO
/: USING &PAGE&
/: USING &NEXTPAGE&
/: CHANGING &BARCODE&
/: ENDPERFORM
/ &BARCODE&
Coding of the calling ABAP program:
REPORT QCJPERFO.
FORM GET_BARCODE TABLES IN_PAR STUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_PAR STRUCTURE ITCSY.
DATA: PAGNUM LIKE SY-TABIX, "page number
NEXTPAGE LIKE SY-TABIX. "number of next page
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'PAGE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
PAGNUM = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'NEXTPAGE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
NEXTPAGE = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE OUT_PAR WITH KEY 'BARCODE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
IF PAGNUM = 1.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = '|'. "First page
ELSE.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = '||'. "Next page

A sort of KeyListener without a GUI Component?

a sort of KeyListener without a GUI Component? ( or any trick that will do)?
please be patient with my question
I can't express myself very well but it's very important.
Please help me I need an example how to implement
a way to detect some combination of keystrokes in java without
any GUI ( without AWT or Swing frames ...)
just the console (DOS or Linux shell window) or with a minimzed
java frame (awt or swing...) you know, MINIMIZED= not in focus.
in other words if the user press ctrl + alt +shift ...or some
other combination... ANYTIME ,and the java program is running in the
background, is there a way to detect that,
... my problem if I use a frame (AWT or SWING) the windows must
be in focus and NOT MINIMIZED..
if I use
someObject.addKeylistener(someComponent);
then the "someComponent" must be in focus, am I right?
What I'm coding is a program that if you highlight ANY text in
ANY OS window, a java window (frame) should pop up and match the
selected text in a dictionary file and brings me the meaning
( or a person's phone number , or
a book author ...etc.)
MY CHALLENGE IS WITHOUT PRESSING (Ctrl+C) to copy and paste
...etc. and WITHOUT MONITORING THE OS's CLIPBOARD ...I just want to
have the feature that the user simply highlight a text in ANY
window anywhere then press Ctrl+shift or some other combination,
then MY JAVA PROGRAM IS TRIGGERED and it should EMULATE SOME
KEYSTROKES OF Ctrl+C and then paste the clipboard
somewhere in my program...with all that AUTOMATION BEING in the background.
remember that my whole program ALL THE TIME MUST BE MINIMIZED AND
NOT IN FOCUS
or just running in the background (using javaw)..
is there any trick ? pleeeeeeze!!!
i'm not trying to write a sort of the spying so-called "key-logger"

What is this gui component?

HI all, I'm writing a program and I wish to use a gui component but I don't know what it is called and I was wondering if any of you could help.
Its kind of like a text area but the text is separated into columns and each of the columns have headings. Each of the headings can be extended to show more of the text. It's like in microsoft windows when you view files showing all their detail and you get the headings name, size, date created etc.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It's not a jTable as that is more like a spreadsheet, it's similar but the edges of the cells aren't visible in what i'm talking about. and also what i'm after has 'tabs' at the top with headings in. If anyone uses a peer to peer file sharing application, its like what the results of a search are displayed in.
Thanks for the help but if anyone has any more ideas they are very welcome

Thread wont update GUI component

I'm developing an RMI application. I can't seem to get the gui components to show their value once their value has been set. I know the value has been set because i can retrieve it and print it out using System.out.println("Client status : " + lblYourStatus.getText());
My thread gets called when there's a Property ChangeEvent, the code executes correctly but the gui component still doesn't show the correct value.
Am i implementing the code for the thread incorrectly? or am i missing something else?
Any help would be appreciated, this has been wrecking my head for a while now.
private void jPanel1PropertyChange(java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
System.out.println("in propertyChange()");
// lblYourStatus.setText(clientStatus);
Thread t = new Thread(this);
t.setDaemon(true);
t.start();
public void run()
// while (true)
try
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
lblYourStatus.setText(clientStatus);
System.out.println("Client status : " + lblYourStatus.getText());
catch (Exception e)
try
Thread.sleep(1000);
catch(Exception e) {}
// } //end while
}

I don't think the RMI can affect it. It's the same for one client as it is for multiple clients. All the clients receive the correct values. I have been using System.out.println() statements to follow the program as it's been executing and everything seems to work as it should. I changed the code using the example you directed me to.
It still receives all the correct values but when i set the label text the gui still doesn't show the text if i pass it in as a variable eg lblPlayer1Name.setText(m_player1Name), it still shows literal values eg lblPlayer1Name.setText( "test")
I know the variable names contain valid values as i use System.out.println() statements to view them.
any more ideas? thanks for your help so far.
    private void jPanel1PropertyChange(java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
        Thread t = new Thread(this);

        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
            public void run()
                //this line wont print the value to the screen eventhough the next System.out.println() statement shows that the variable contains a valid string
                lblPlayer1Name.setText(m_player1Name);
                System.out.println("Player 1 variable value: " + m_player1Name);
                System.out.println("Player 1 label value: " + lblPlayer1Name.getText());
                lblPlayer1Name.setText(lblPlayer1Name.getText());
                //this line will print the literal string "Tom" to the label
                lblPlayer1Name.setText("Tom");
        // simulate log running task

I asked the very same question some time ago. From what I've heard you can not do this purely in java cause it would be a major secrity flaw and it could make whole systems extremely buggy since it could cause the program not to overload the keys assigned to end it.
However if anyone knows a way to "hack" win xp's windowsystem or any other way to deal with this let us know plzzz (is it possible to make some kind of dll file etc.)

Issue calling report from a Form(11.1.2).

Hi,
I have an existing code in the form to call a report and it seems to be working in the current 10g version of production server and I am migrating forms 10g to 11gR2. My issue here is when, I want to call the report from Forms 11g ( i.e. in developer suite) it is taking the report server as a blank. My Oracle FMW (11.1.2) is installed on the Windows 2008 R2 server. I do not know, if I need to configure the report server locally after the installation of FMW. Please help me out, if someone has faced a similar issue before.

Hello,
Usually in development installation report server gets installed by default unless you uncheck it.
You can find the report server name by:
a)looking into rwservlet.properties file
or
b)as entry in Start > All Programs > Oracle Classic instance - asinst_1 > Reports Services > Start Report Server rep_wls_reports_<hostname>_<InstanceName>
or
c)http://<yourhostname>:7001/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo
In order to run the report from froms you need:
-to implement the solution i described in a previous update
or
-use a harcoded value in the form
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(rep_Report,REPORT_SERVER,'your_report_server name');
Since you are in 11gR2 development mode you cannote use EM or OPMN to get the status of the report server as Roberto Suggested.
For your reference also check:

How to call a report from form in developer suite 10g

i want to call report from a form that is developed in Builder 10g. Reprot is also built in Reports Builder 10g. I now want to run report through form.Please give me any solution.

I am finding that this document is unhelpful also with respect to running a form which calls the report in the testing environment of Oracle Developer Suite. I have Googled for forms integration with reporting and most refer to this document, but it does not help.
I have download and used the "run_report_object_doc" procedure they provided, along with a supporting function. And used that.
This document indicates that if the sever is not specified then it will use the in-process server. This does not happen. When I do not specify the server I get the notorious "FRM-41211: Integration error: SSL failure running another product." I suspected that the in-process server is not getting called.
When I look through the rwservlet.properties file I find that the servlet is configured with in=process "yes". I have since changed this file so that a server is actually named. I called it "local".
This time a local.conf file is created, not a rep_local.conf file as indicated in the documentation. Anyhow when I try the form again I get the same FRM-41211 message.
Alternatively, I have change the report invocation parameters to supply a server name "local". This time I no longer get the FRM-41211 message. I get the error FRM-41214: Unable to run report.
When I use the servlet to get information, I get (can anyone see any setting that is a problem?):

Calling Report from a Form on the same page

Hi,
We have a SEARCH Form and when user inputs search criteria, then we want to call a report on the same page, just below the search button. We tried many things but the report does not show up on the same page, it navigates to next page.
Please help..
Thanks
Kumar.

I am trying to do a similar thing... I have created a form application component and a Report application component which is called from the search form. This works fine.
I expose the search form as a component and put it on a portal page. I do the same with the report.
When I call the page and enter the search params in the form and call the report, the report appears in a separate non-portal window. I would like the report in the same portal page to be run in-line with the new parameters.
Has anyone done this before?

The whole proceessing and update is happening in one main form.
Main form has all the fields and a reprocess button which re-creates records if they have error. Record name is the primary key.
I have another small form, which just shows the list of record names in the system. I want a reprocess button next to each record name so that user will be able to just select any record name and press reprocess button to recreate any record data.
There are a lot of fields in main form and program units , which are used by the reprocess button.
Any suggestions like how to go for it?

You can either pass all the relevant data from the Small Form to the Larger form and make it reprocess the data or you can move the Program Units to a PL/SQL Library (.pll) and attach the library to your smaller form where you can call the program units. Either option requires changes to the Larger form to enable it to process a record passed to the form as a parameter or to externalize the Forms Program Units to a library.
Personaly, I would recommend you move the Program Units to a Library. This would enable you to use the processes in any form (that has the library attached).
Hope this helps,

Using my new GUI component in an applet :Help!!!

I am seeking help for the following
Define class MyColorChooser as a new component so it can be reused in other applications or applets. We want to use the new GUI component as part of an applet that displays the current Color value.
The following is the code of MyColorChooser class
* a) We define a class called MyColorChooser that provides three JSlider
* objects and three JTextField objects. Each JSlider represents the values
* from 0 to 255 for the red, green and blue parts of a color.
* We use wred, green and blue values as the arguments to the Color contructeur
* to create a new Color object.
* We display the current value of each JSlider in the corresponding JTextField.
* When the user changes the value of the JSlider, the JTextField(s) should be changed
* accordingly as weel as the current color.
* b)Define class MyColorChooser so it can be reused in other applications or applets.
* Use your new GUI component as part of an applet that displays the current
* Color value.

Yes, I want help for the missing code to add in actionPerformed method below. As a result, when you confirm the selected color (clicking the OK button), it will be transferred to a variable color of class ShowMyColor.
// instanciate okButton with its inanymous class
// to handle its related events
          okButton = new JButton ("OK");
          okButton.setToolTipText("To confirm the current color");
          okButton.setMnemonic('o');
          okButton.addActionListener(
               new ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
                    {     // code permetting to transfer
                         // the current color to the parent
                         // component backgroung color
                         //System.exit( 0 );
          );
