Can a topic title contain angle brackets (greater than / less than)?

Using RoboHelp 8, WebHelp output generated via rhcl and displayed in modified Internet Explorer (IE).
One of my colleagues is creating a topic to describe an application object that has angle brackets (greater than / less than signs) in its screen name. Needless to say, RoboHelp doesn't like those symbols in the topic title, and it hides them and the text between them in the generated topic title. Steps to reproduce: Typed < and > in the Properties dialog; topic's <title> meta tag shows < and > .
Other than replacing the topic title field with static text, is there a way to push these symbols through the Properties dialog or the HTML editor?
It's not world-shatteringly important - the workaround is okay - but I'd like to know how to avoid this problem with other "special" characters, if I can.
Thanks,
Elisa

Willam is correct that you cannot type < or > directly into the HTML code and in pointing out that RoboHelp automatically converts the code when you type that in design view.
However, I think that you are aware of that and it is not the problem you want addressed. You can see that you can type that straight into the Topic Heading but your Topic Headings are not typed in, you are using fields and what you are finding is that if the Topic Title contains the brackets, that works everywhere other than Topic Headings. Is that correct?
If so the cause is linked to what Willam has pointed out but I am sure Adobe could work out a solution. Report it as a bug. Please follow this link.

Data model editor cannot save samle XML data if data contains angle bracket

BI Publisher can correctly query data containing angle brackets, and it produces well-formed XML in that case. Angle brackets are correctly coded as &lt and &gt. However, if you try to save the generated XML as sample XML for the data model, BI Publisher will issue the following error in its log:
[2012-02-17T14:12:07.491-08:00] [AdminServer] [ERROR] [] [oracle.xdo] [tid: 30] [userId: <anonymous>] [ecid: 4d7950b0e2efed24:2a9da7a7:135894f9533:-8000-0000000000002f73,0] [APP: bipublisher#11.1.1] End tag does not match start tag '...'.
where '...' would be any characters appearing between the open angle bracket and the close angle bracket. The sample XML data will not save, so you cannot open the report in the Desktop TemplateBuilder for Microsoft Word.
Note that this bug is not fixed in the latest February patch for version 11.1.1.5.

ok...tell me this, are you saying you are encoding the angle brackets or bi publisher is doing it automatically????
With the data I worked, & (ampersands) were more predominant and I replaced the columns containing them with +& a m p ;+ (without spaces) and everything was fine....

User input formula variable with greater than/less than operators for KFG

Hello all,
I have used a formula in my query that is a difference of two key figures .For e.g:
Difference = tax from system A - tax from system B.
Now when the users run the report they should be prompted for the 'Difference' threshold for seeing the report say where difference is greater 100 or equal to 10 and so on.Currrently I have created a formula variable with 'user input' and created a 'condition' to display 'Difference' greater than the user entered value.
However,it is required to have various selection options for setting the threshold of difference.For e.g User should be able to set say 'equal to'/'greater than/less than/not equal to operator for 'difference' in the initial selection screen of the report.
With the current user-input formula variable I am not getting these 'greater than' etc operators.Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Ya know, that's all well and good ... BUT ... WHAT IF you do want to sort text type columns with Greater Than and Less Than operatiors??
SQL does it just Fine ... so WHY does APEX have the limit??? This is an Oracle BUG ... it SHOULD NOT limit the operators ... I realize "they" may be trying to be helpful with proper constraints to field searches ... but ... if SQL can do it, then ... no need for a limit.
EG ...
Show the records where
the "Begin_Year-Wk" data is less than or equal to "2009-09" AND
the "End_Year-Wk" data is greater than or equal to "2009-04"
... to give everything that was running in that 5 week period whether or not it starts within that time frame
I can run this query perfectly fine via SQL ... but not in APEX ... unless I reconvert a lot of strings back to numbers, and for sorting / formatting / explain-to-user purposes, I really don't want them to be numbers.
So ... there's gotta be a hidden tweak for operators somewhere ...

Greater than/less than comparisons

Hello!
Does somebody has any idea why I get this error message ?
Greater than/less than comparisons with character type operands may not be portable ?
friendly regards
erdem

Hi Erdem,
       You can only use the comparison operators with in the Numeric Characters or the parameters with integer Data Types or Decimal Data Types.
For Example,
Data : A type I Value '5',
         B Type I Value '10'.
If A < B.
else.
Thanks.

Greater Than Less Than

Dear all,
I am Using oracle 10g R2 database on windows.
I have a doubt that,
If I have a 'Date' datatype column suppose a and want to (select Less than sysdate and greater than Sysdate-31(One Month).
e.i.
select a,b,c from T where a Less Than Sysdate-31(One month.);How can i do this.
Thanks,
Chanchal Wankhade.

I had not considered the effect on an index with TRUNC. Thank you for pointing that out.
TRUNC doesn't actually remove time as you can see below
SELECT TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE),'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS AM') "Today's Date and Time" from DUAL;
Today's Date and Time
01/19/2012 12:01:00 AMLet's say sysdate = Jan 19, 2012 11:00:00 AM
As shown above, trunc(sysdate) = Jan 19, 2012 12:01:00 AM
So, trunc(sysdate) -1 = Jan 18, 2012 12:01:00 AM
Removing the trunc from column a
select a,b,c
from T
where a between trunc(sysdate)-1 and trunc(sysdate);will also remove all data that is greater than Jan 19, 2012, 12:01:00 AM so you would only see data from one day -- Jan 18th.
Adding the trunc to column a returns all the data from Jan 18th and 19th.
It is my experience that users will ask for a date range, but then will ask for just one day. If Column a is not truncated, then no rows would be returned when between trunc(sysdate) and trunc(sysdate).
Most programmers will not use trunc(sysdate) in the where clause, but would use a variable with value assigned of sysdate or trunc(sysdate) as it provides more flexibility.
If you do not want to use trunc on column a, then the where clause should be BETWEEN trunc(sysdate) - 31 AND sysdate.
Edited by: Shinegar on Jan 19, 2012 12:40 PMThe trunc function does not remove the time portion, but it does set it to midnight. Or at least i would if you used the correct format mask in your TO_CHAR. The mask for minutes is MI not MM.

Filtering Interactive Reports with Greater Than Less Than Operators

The available filter operators in the interactive reports do not include greater than or less than. How is it possible to enable an application user to filter records where greater than or less then logic is needed?
For example the user wants to query records where sysdate falls between a start and end date.

Todd

I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one. it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one? it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

I would like to know the answer to that one. I realized this was happening just after upgradeing my iOS to 6. Then when I looked up my purchase date, I was about 5 days past my one year warranty. So I'm dead in the water. Apple will replace the battery, but it will be about $80+. I took it to the Apple store, and they checked a bunch of stuff, but said that it seemed ok. I'm debating getting a battery for a more reasonable price off of ebay. But if it's the iOS thats draining the battery, then I'm not going to be able to help it. I wish I knew a better way to tell if its the battery, the phone, or the iOS.

Numbers '08 "If" with a greater or less than answer

Hi all - I have a cell with a sum D & E28 (merged cell) that I want another cell B30 to display a value based on what is in cell D & E28.
If cell D & E28 is 8 or less I want B30 to say 8. If D & E28 is greater than 8.001 but less than 12 I want B30 to say 12 and if D & E28 is greater than 12.001 but less then 18 I want B30 to say 18
Any ideas?
Thanks
Peter

pdmjr,
=IF(ROUND(D28,3)<=8.001, 8, IF(ROUND(D28,3)<=12.001, 12, IF(ROUND(D28,3)<=18, 18, "Over 18")))
should do it for you.
The nested IF statements handle your logic. The ROUND statements handle internal math errors and your need to break at .001. You didn't say what to do with inputs of 18 or greater, so I suggested a text string for that case.
The form of the IF statement is: If (logical statement) is True, Then do this, Else do this. Your case requires three tests. You could quibble about a value that is, say, 12.0011 and rounds to 12.001, but I doubt you are concerned about that level of detail. If so let me know.
Does this help?
Regards,
Jerry

How can I give a range mens some number is less than a number and greater than other number.

how can I give a condition for a number like this
1<x>2. TO a condition to the case loop selector terminal for selection .I expect help

In the case selector, write "1..3" for all integers 1 <= x <= 3
(if using floats it'll get rounded to an integer, so not the optimal solution, then you'll need In-range and coerce)

Using greater than - less than in a date query in a form

In version 5, the user could put in ">03/05/08" in a date field, hit the execute query button, and the form would pull up everything >3/5/2008. In version 10g, I get all format errors when I put in the same thing. Is there a work-around, or is this feature no longer supported in 10g?

I assume you have recently performed an upgrade to Forms 10g. Did you only upgrade to Forms 10g or were their other upgrades as well (like the Database)? Has the NLS_DATE_FORMAT changed? Can you run your query in SQL*Plus successfully? Any additional information you can provide will greatly aid us in helping you troubleshoot this issue.

Dates Greater Than, Less Than, but what about the dates between?

This is what my data looks like.
Employee# StartsWork EndsWork
1_________8/15______8/16
2_________8/16______8/19
3_________8/17______8/17
I need to know how many employees I have working on any given day.
The table below shows the dates across the top, and the data in the cells represents the total number of workers on any given date.
Date_____8/15_______8/16_______8/17________8/18________8/19_______8/20
Workers___1__________2__________2___________1__________1__________0
FYI: This report does not contain any prompts. It just shows me the next 6 days.
I was trying something like this but without any success: Create a column
CASE WHEN current_date > "StartWork" AND current_date < "EndsWork" THEN '1' WHEN (current_date+1) > "StartWork" AND (current_date+1) < "EndsWork" THEN '2'
and so on, then just use the column to sort the rows. I can use some count function later to finish it.

Create three date dimensions, Join first date dimension (d1) with Start Date, join second date dimension (d2) with End date, create a dummy join (1=1) with 3rd date dimension.
On the report or in PRD create a measure as follows.
CASE WHEN D3.Date <= d2.Date and D3.Date >= D1.Date then 1 ELSE 0 END

Use of greater than, less than and ranges in release strategy

Hi,
We are using release strategy on purchase order level. We have added purchasing group as one of the characteristics of this release strategy. As we have many purchasing groups in place we want to work with ranges of purchasing groups and also make use of the <,> signs. We can enter those signs, but the strategy does not seem to recognize them. The blocking is not working. Whe also have the po value in the startegy and there the signs do work. Probably because this field is numeric.
Is there somebody that has an idea how to solve this?
Regards,
Ed

Jurgen,
This does not work. I can select multiple values for the purchasing group characteristic, but I can not select the option intervals allowed. I assume this only applies to numeric attributes. I can not define purchasing group as a numeric characteristic. The system overwrites this when I refer to the field in EKKO.
Is there an option to use the not equal sign?
Ed

How can I get a refund from my iCloud purchase less than 24hrs ago

I purchased the iCloud 20gb extra storage yesterday, and after quickly realising it did not meet my needs & deleted my icloud account , shortly after i received a conformation mail from apple that my bank account has been debited £28.00 I have spent the whole evening going round in circles unable to get the message through that I require a refund into my account.

Apple have made this as difficult as possible. If you use Express Lane you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare. However julia22 managed to find a way round it - please see this post:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.

Hi Guys,
I am trying to use a logical expression with GT/LT condition in dynamic where, butits giving dump "expression worngly parenthesised' . My query runs perfectly fine when the logical expression does not have 'GT/LT' . Is there a different way of using GT/LT in dynamic where or is it not posiible at all?? Please find my query below -
IF vendor IS NOT INITIAL.
      i_where_clause = 'a~lifnr = vendor'.

i_where_clause = 'a~lifnr = vendor'.
APPEND i_where_clause.
ENDIF.
IF to_date IS NOT INITIAL.
if i_where_cause[] is not initial.
