Can you tell the output type within template?

Hi all,
we're using Oracle apps 11.5.10 and we have the usual leading zero problem when exporting to Excel.
From what I've read, Excel uses the 'TypeGuessRows' registry setting to read through a specify number of rows to decide whether a column is numeric and then drops the leading zeros. I've also seen the proposed solution of putting a quote mark to trick Excel. We have a requirement to display the right numbers including leading zeroes in both PDF and Excel. So now I'm down to 2 choices.
1) create a separate template for PDF without the quote or my question
- Within a template, can you tell what the runtime output type is? Does the XML Publisher engine provide a way to obtain this value within a template?

Hi Mike,
I used
<fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?D_INVOICE_NUM?></fo:bidi-override>
and it still didn't work. The invoice number is alphanumeric an sometimes just contains numbers with leading zeroes which is what I'm testing with.
Cheers
Kofi

  • In ical, how can you tell the difference between a meeting invite and email?

    When you send a meeting invite in ical, does the recipient receive a different icon in their inbox to differentiate from an email?

    For service stock you can't tell the difference between a new iPad and a refurbished one. Both will come in a plain brown box with the same pattern in model numbers. If you mean between a refurbished one and one new at retail, then other than the obvious difference in packaging, I've read that the model number on refurbished units starts with the letter "F", though I've not confirmed that.

  • Can you change the output slide size in Captivate 7?

    Hello,
    I am looking to change the defualt size of the slides when a project is published into a word doucment. I have seen this done before, but I cannot find any information on this process. I know it needs to be done in a Captivate folder and not in the project it self.
    Thanks!

    Nevermind, I found it in the Adobe Captivate folder under Gallery\Printoutput. From there you will have 3 different word docs, Lesson.doc Step by step.doc, and Stroyboard.doc. You make the change desired output document.

  • Can you tell the date of a picture someone texted you

    Someone texted me a picture last night that they told me they had just taken. I know they're lying, but I don't know how to prove it. Is it possible to get date/time information from a photo someone sent you? It was sent from one Iphone to another.

    GeekBoy.from.Illinois wrote:
    This is probably more accurate than looking at the EXIF data embedded in the photo, since that would show you when the photo was taken, not sent to you.
    Except, of course, the OP specifically wants to know when the phone was taken. 
    And, of course, this assumes that the EXIF data was not edited.

  • How can you control the export types from DHTML output?

    I am currently using the JRC from CR4E V1 patch 7.
    When I generate a report as DHTML and use the export button I am presented with 5 export options:
    Crystal Reports
    Adobe Acrobat
    Microsoft Word - Editable
    Rich Text Format
    Comma Separated Values
    I would like to control which of the 5 options are presented to the user.  I was looking in the crystalreportviewers115 folder for some JavaScript  that could be edited.  I found export.js which appeared to have code that was creating the choices for a dropdown (getFormatDropdownList()), however this code did not get executed when I ran the export.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Yes - the JavaScript that's in export.js was rolled into inline code in the Java jar files sometime during version 11.5.
    It's no longer customizable.
    An option is to use HTTP Filter on your Java Web App to modify the outgoing JavaScript instream, but that's never a pretty solution.

  • Can you change the language shown in templates, all templates in pages are in Spanish not English?

    Every time that I use pages it offers me templates but when I go to use them they are always displayed in Spanish and not in English.
    Does anyone know how I can change this please?

    It's pseudo-latin filler text and can't changed.  You need to create you own english content to replace the filler.

  • Can you change the background colors in templates on Pages?

    I love the newsletter templates in Pages, but I can't figure out a way to change the background color. I am supposed to use specific colors so I was hoping there was a way to change the background colors in some of the tables. Is there a way?

    Hi, yes, I clicked the box that I wanted to change the background in. I made sure that the correct box was selected and not the text box on top of it. Then I clicked Fill on the top bar and selected the color that I wanted to change it to. I only wanted to change the color in certain boxes - I didn't want to change the entire background of the newsletter template. I hope I explained this ok

  • Can you use the shuffle feature within a created folder?

    if so, how?

    If you're talking about a folder on the iPod shuffle, I don't think you can create such a thing. If the folder you're talking about is an iTunes Playlist, then yes. (Although I have one where it doesn't seem to work.)
    Another thing you can do, if this is really an iTunes question, is select Party Shuffle in the Source list, then select the playlist you want to shuffle from in Source below the main window.
    Good luck

  • Can you tell the IP address of a device attached to a 6500 Catalyst Switch

    I have devices attached to a Catalyst switch, and I wanted to find out which device is attached where by checking the IP address of a specific device attached to a port. The ARP tables don't show any devices. Anyone know a quick/dirty way to do this?

    The arp table on your switch does not show this as the switch does not talk to devices directly and thus does not need this information. Do this:
    - From the switch ping devices you want to find where attached to.
    - type "sh arp" on the switch. This time it will contain the information you need.
    Similar to this:
    switch6500> (enable) sh arp
    ARP Aging time = 1200 sec
    + - Permanent Arp Entries
    * - Static Arp Entries
    10.0.0.1 at xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx port 1/1 on vlan 15
    10.0.0.30 at yy-yy-yy-yy-yy-yy port 1/1 on vlan 15
    switch6500> (enable) ping 10.0.0.20
    ----10.0.0.20 PING Statistics----
    5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
    round-trip (ms) min/avg/max = 1/1/1
    switch6500> (enable) sh arp
    ARP Aging time = 1200 sec
    + - Permanent Arp Entries
    * - Static Arp Entries
    10.0.0.1 at xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx port 1/1 on vlan 15

  • Can you choose the text type of a characteristic in a hierarchy variable

    Hello,
    I've got a problem with a characteristic that has a short, medium and long text as well as several hierarchies with a few levels of text nodes above the leafs, which are the characteristics.
    Somehow, when I use one of the hierarchies to select the characteristic with a variable, in the selection screen the long text of the characteristic is always displayed.
    However, I need to display the short text in the hierarchy tree for the variable.
    So far I've I found no way to influence the usage of either the short, medium or long text of the characteristic in a hierarchy-based variable selection.
    The selection of the a particular text in the Info Object BEx attribtes dialog does not have any effect.
    So, I'm wondering is it possible at all or could it be a bug?
    Any help on this topic would much appreciated!

    Hi,
    we have the same problem.
    We want to change <b>only</b> in the screen variable the hierarchy text (from default to long\medium text) but even if there's a possibility to do this, really it doesn't happen anything - it' s possible when you start query, in the selection screen inside every the variable there's a command "User Settings" in which manage what you want to see (I put display custom, as text, medium text).
    I try to do this also in query analizer, selecting variable (hierarchy) and enter in this (user setting), changing in display custom as text - medium text, but even if I save this settings, really doesn't happen anything.
    It seems the system isn't sensitive to this selection...
    By now, if someone has an answer, please write us!
    Thanks in advance,
