Carriage Returns in Discoverer Viewer 10

Hi,
I have a Discoverer 10g report based on a view, within the view one of the fields is defined as:
, pvs.address_line1||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
||pvs.address_line2||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
||pvs.address_line3||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
||pvs.city||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
||pvs.state||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
||pvs.zip||Chr(13)||Chr(10)
…this returns multiple values in a single fields with carriage returns after each line, IE:
NASH HOUSE
OLD OAK LANE
LONDON
NW10 6DH
This works fine within the database and also in Discoverer 10 Plus, however in Discoverer 10 Viewer the same record is displayed as:
NASH HOUSE OLD OAK LANE LONDON NW10 6DH
Is it possible to ‘configure’ Discoverer Viewer to display carriage returns?
Regards
Carl

Hello Marias,
To disable the warning message, Connect to the Admin Edition and navigate to Tools -> privilege -> click Select button and provide the username and hit GO button.
Now in the "Desktop and plus privileges" section uncheck the option "Save workbooks to Database" and apply it.
This will remove the privilege only to that particular user. To remove this privilege from all the users, select the public role and revoke the privilege.
Hope this helps,
Gianluca

Losing carriage returns in textarea / using plpdf to generate report

Hello,
I'm using Apex 3.1.1 and Oracle 10g database. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can preserve carriage returns in a textarea when sending the text to a package that generates a report. Please see example of current problem (below code). I'm using an onkeypress function to check for keycode = 13 when the Enter key is pressed -- that is working. I also created an alert to show the url value -- I can see the text on multiple lines, so that appears to be working as well. The textarea value parameter in the package is defined as varchar2. Per the support folks at plpdf.com, chr(13) indicates an explicit line break, and they told me to check my text. I don't know what I'm missing. Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
Lisa
function callPLPDFRep()
      var url;
      url = '#OWNER#.' + $x('P&APP_PAGE_ID._REPORT_PROCEDURE').value + '?' + build_params();
      w = open(url, "winPDFRep", "Scrollbars=1, resizable=1, width=800, height=600");
      if (w.opener == null)
        w.opener = self;
        w.focus();
   function build_params()
    var lparms;
    lparms = '';
    lparms = lparms + '&p_incorrect=' + $x('P212_INCORRECT').value;
    lparms = lparms + '&p_correct=' + $x('P212_CORRECT').value;
    return lparms;
}Text in textarea:
035 5768 06/15/2010
035 5768 06/16/2010
035 5768 06/17/2010

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your response. After doing some researching and experimenting, here's what I have found so far.
First, using an onkeypress function to alert the keycode, a chr(13) is being returned when I press the Enter key in the textarea.
function check_Enter(e)
    var keynum;
    var textval = $x('P212_INCORRECT').value;
    if(document.all)
      keynum = e.keyCode
    else
      keynum = e.which
    alert(keynum);
}Next, when I access the value of the textarea via javascript with $x('P212_INCORRECT').value, the chr(13) is automatically converted to the newline character (\n). In an attempt to replace the \n with a \r so plpdf will recognize the carriage return, I added a javascript replace function before sending the text to the package, and it does not work.
function build_params()
    var lparms;
    lparms = '';
    lparms = lparms + '&p_incorrect=' + $x('P212_INCORRECT').value;
    lparms = lparms + '&p_correct=' + $x('P212_CORRECT').value;
    alert(lparms.split(/\n/g).length - 1); // confirm that a newline character is found
    lparms = lparms.replace( new RegExp( "\n", "g" ), "\r"); // replace newline character with carriage return
    return lparms;
}When I tried to replace the newline character (\n) with chr(13), the chr(13) is printed out like it is text instead of a special character. In order to test that I have the correct syntax for the replace function in javascript, I tried replacing \n with '...', and then in the package that generates the PDF, I replaced the '...' with chr(13). That works!
In response to your comment about the PLPDF procedure for multi line section, I am using: plpdf.PrintMultiLineCell(180, 6, l_incorrect, '0', 0). As a newbie to javascript, I am not sure why replacing \n with \r is not working. Can you advise how to use a chr(13) in the javascript replace function and have it recognized as a special character and not text? I don't know how to view special characters in the textarea other than checking for them with javascript.
Thanks, Lisa

Sure, sending a BEL character to the console rings the bell, but that has nothing to do with Java. Anyway, I think he meant Java doesn't support the \a escape sequence in string and char literals.

Help needed with Carriage Return in Unicode system

Hi Experts,
we have an issue with one of our programs regarding the carriage return that is used when creating a csv file. This issue has only came about because of the recent upgrade to ECC6.
The main change to the program was the redefinition of the line feed variable.
Existing statement was --> DATA: v_lf TYPE x VALUE '0D'.
This was then replaced with
New statement --> DATA: v_lf type c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
Since this change has been implemented, the csv file that is created and sent on as an attachment via the function SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 is now not displayed correctly.
When looking at the attachment in trn SOST, a message is also displayed saying the file is not in a recognizable format when selecting the file to view.
The hex value for cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf is 000D000A and this seems to be causing the issue.
I've also tried using Function FI_DME_CHARATERS as I only really want to use the CR. However, the hex value for this is 000D and not 0D.
Is there any way of converting this to have a hex value of 0D?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Text Formating/Carriage Return in VC

Hi All,
<b>Background:</b> we are using visual composer (VC) to display BI reports on portal. with that an additional functionality we are providing is commentary, i.e. user can save comments on report to view later.
<b>Problem:</b> we are able to do the task but the problem is user can enter text but it is saved without any carriage returns and line feeds. On retrieval, it gives back all text in a single line and remove all paragraphic arrangements.
I would really appreciate the earliest reply.
Regards,
Shabbar

Hi basheer
I thing u ,didnt get teh core issue

               HOW ARE YOU [enter]
               Good to See your Reply [enter]
Here the issue is, while i pass this Text message to R/3 system

HI BASHEER HOW ARE YOU Good to See your Reply
Here SAP R3 doesnt know how to handle the [enter key ]carriage return...
so it take all the message in single line. but i want them as the way i enter in text editor.
i would like to know how to handle this in Backend...

Keep white spaces and carriage returns?

I'm viewing a column -VARCHAR2(4000)- in a standard report column.
The column value contains white spaces and carriage returns.
I put "white-space:pre;" in CSS Style, but it still skips carriage returns...
What can I do to view white spaces and carriage returns?
I'm using apex 3.0 and IE 7.
Saad.

I'm using apex 3.0 and IE 7.There's your problem...
IE6 (and, since there don't seem to be any docs saying anything different, presumably IE7) don't support white-space: pre in quirks mode. Don't ask me why - probably in one of MS efforts to "not break the web".
All the APEX built-in templates are rendered in quirks mode as they don't supply complete DOCTYPEs. If you are using a standard APEX template or a custom template without a complete DOCTYPE declaration you are probably seeing this quirks behaviour.
It looks like this will change in IE8.

How do I get a carriage return in a Calendar "event" in Mt. Lion? I used to be able to do option-return which has worked for previous s/w versions. Help!!!

Carriage returns are not working when viewing events!
Before I installed Mt. Lion, I could hold OPTION while hitting RETURN and it ould insert an "invisible" carriage return. This no longer works. Help!!! My calendar is becoming non-functional, as I cannot read my clients' appointments... as there is so much run-on info now.
When creating events, I need to put anywhere from 3-10 lines of text, separated by carriage returns. This is driving me nuts!
Anyone have a fix for this???

Outputting XML carriage return in HTML via XSLT

Hi,
I have a scenario where I execute a View Object query in ADF to retrieve results from a particular table in the Database. I then iterate through the results in my Java managed bean and manually construct an XML file with all the appropriate tags. I then pass the XML file through a Transformer class in the Java bean based on an XSLT I have created to produce an HTML page. However I have an issue when it comes to handling carriage returns. One of the database table columns can contain carriage returns within its value but in the final HTML page the carriage returns don't have any effect and the text just displays on one line.
In the database, the values are stored with the carriage return and in SQL Developer, Toad etc this can be seen e.g. Text1 Text2 Text3 Text4 will display on separate lines. In the XML, the carriage return seems to still be there as when I open the file my element which contains the carriage returns shows each part on a new line e.g. <textElement>Text1
                                                       Text2
                                                       Text3
                                                       Text4</textElement>     (The Text2, Text3 and Text4 all start on a new line at the beginning and there's no prior white space as shown in this post)
The XML file in JDeveloper also shows carriage return arrow symbols where there is one.
The HTML page just shows them as Text1 Text2 Text3 Text4 all on one line. Inspecting the source of the HTML shows that the carriage return is in fact there as it also displays as per the XML with the values on separate lines.
Outputting the value from the View Object in Java to the log shows the value coming out like this - Text1 Text2Text3Text4, which is strange but I know the carriage returns are there so I'm not too fussed about this.
I have tried escaping the characters in the Java by doing str.replaceAll("[\\r\\n]", ""); (but replacing the "" with  
 or &x0A;) so in the XML it replaces carriage returns and line feeds with these escaped characters. However, when the XSLT parses the XML it doesn't pick these up and instead actually outputs these actual characters as they are e.g. Text1&x0A;Text2&x0A;Text3&x0A;Text4
So I can confirm that the carriage return is carrying all the way through to the XSL but I can't help but think that maybe I need to do something in the XSL to process this somehow, e.g. doing the equivalent of the 'replace' in Java but I don't know what I need to search for in the XML and also what to actually replace it with..Do I just replace it with a </BR> in HTML?
We also parse the XML using PDF and Excel XSL Transformer class and see the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

That's a very commonly asked question.
HTML doesn't preserve linefeeds, except for the <pre> tag.
You'll have to replace those characters with <BR/> tags in the XSLT.
Search the Internet for terms like "XSLT HTML LF", you'll find some XSLT sample templates to handle the replacement.

Using a Macro to add a Carriage Return after each data entry within all cells of an imported range of cells

I have a macro that copies data from a Target workbook then pastes the data into a destination workbook. I then wish to use lookups in the destination workbook to view specific data from the pasted range of data on a separate sheet.
The problem is, the cells that contain numbers from the pasted data have the green dogeared error flags associated with the cell. The only way I can make a lookup function work, is to go to each cell and manually enter a carriage return after each entry.
The code for the macro is given below. What can be done so that the pasted data contains no errors associated with the number cells? Or can a second macro be written to clean the data. If so can you help me out? Thanks in advance.
Kindest Regards

Hi DAPAugust64,
The green "dogeared error flags" of the cells means that you paste numbers in these cells, but they're formated as Text.
So you need to change the cells back to the correct format so that the lookup function works fine. You can simply call this method after pasting:
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).NumberFormat = "General"
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1) = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).Text
Or use PasteSpecial method to paste the numbers as well as it's format:

Carriage return in textArea

Hi, I have a problem about the textArea. When I compile a textarea the carriage return is casual because it doesn't work as an editor text program. So the words that I write are "break off" casually.How can I implement a textArea that simulate an editor text program about carriage return? Is exist an option in the properties of the textarea in NetBeans 4.0 that implement it?
Thanks!

An example:
if I write in runtime in the textArea this words:
"Yesterday I played in the garden with my dog and then I studied Java in my bedroom"
and the dimension's textArea is more small than the dimension of the sentence writed above, I have the next view in the textarea:
"Yesterday I played in the garden with my dog and then I s
tudied Java in my bedroom"
Instead I want that the word "studied" doesn't break off as in the next example
"Yesterday I played in the garden with my dog and then I
studied Java in my bedroom"

Carriage return in textarea - how do I check for and remove it???

I have an html form that has a <textarea> element for user input. I work mainly with Java and some JavaScript. Since carriage returns are permitted in a <textarea> element, upon retrieving the value submitted, my Java and/or JavaScript variables contain carriage returns as well, making the values incomplete.
For Example :
String dataSubmitted = request.getParameter("formInput");
<script language="JavaScript">
var textValue = "<%=dataSubmitted%>";
....//do other stuff
</script>When I view the source of my JSP page, the above statement of code looks like this:
var textValue = "This is some text that
I submitted with a carriage return";I'm putting the text submitted through this form into a mysql database, and when I pull up the values I find that it has recorded the carriage return as well. There is an actual symbol representing a carriage return in the db field.
What I'd like to do is use some Java code to go through each character of the String and find and remove the carriage return, perhaps replacing it with an empty space instead. But how do I check for a carriage return in a String variable?
Also, is there a way to use JavaScript to alert the user when the carriage return button is pressed when they're in the <textarea>?
Any input is appreciated,
Thank You,

What I'd like to do is use some Java code to go through
each character of the String and find and remove the
carriage return, perhaps replacing it with an empty
space instead. But how do I check for a carriage return
in a String variable?The carriage return is represented by the \r. Generally there is also a newline, the \n. You can use String#replaceAll() to replace occurences of them by a space.
string = string.replaceAll("\r\n", " ");
Also, is there a way to use JavaScript to alert the user
when the carriage return button is pressed when they're
in the <textarea>?You can capture keys using the 'onkeypress' attribute. The keyCode of a the return key is 13. So simply catch that:<textarea onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) alert('You pressed the return button.'); return false;"></textarea>The return false prohibits the linebreak being inserted. If you remove that, then it will be inserted anyway.

Pdfs created on my iMac add hidden carriage returns after each word

Hello Community,
This problem exists on my iMac but not my wife's Powerbook.
Whenever I created a pdf from Preview by printing and then selecting "save as pdf" I got a lovely looking pdf which I could send to anyone and they could view just fine. However, if I or anyone else selected text from that pdf and pasted it into any other program, it came out with an exclamation point instead of the space between words which is, needless to say, quite undesirable. Searching around, one thing that was suggested was clearing the font cache so I did this (several times). It did indeed make a difference: now instead of exclamation points a carriage return appears after every word! Once again the pdf looks just fine, but when you copy and paste text from the pdf into any other text program this happens.
So then I downloaded Adobe Acrobat (the one month fully functional trial program) and made pdfs with this program to see if that was the problem but, no, the same thing occurs. So it really seems to be a strange glitch in my iMac and my system?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
---Norm

There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).

Serious Bug - Carriage Returns in Caption field

LR for Windows does not handle Carriage Returns/Line Feeds correctly in the metadata Caption field.
Windows Vista SP1, 32-bit
Adobe Lightroom 2.4
Library Module, Grid View
Initial settings:
LR Menu bar > Edit > Catalog Settings... > Metadata tab > Editing
uncheck Offer suggestions from recently entered values
uncheck Automatically write changes into XMP
LR Menu bar > View > View options... > Grid View tab > Cell Icons
check Unsaved Metadata
Metadata panel: choose the Default Metadata Set.
Import a JPG file into LR which contains no IPTC metadata.
LR Menu bar > File > Import Photos from disk... > Choose the JPG file
In the Import Photos dialog box, Information to Apply:
Develop Settings: None
Metadata: None
Keywords: None
Click Import.
Click thumbnail of the JPG file which was Imported.
In the Metadata panel click Caption field.
Type "Word1" in the Caption field and press Return/Enter key.
The Caption field loses focus.
The Caption field should not lose focus when the Return/Enter key is pressed.
Click the Caption field and press the Delete key to remove "Word1" from the field.
In the Caption field type "Word1" and press Ctrl+Return/Enter key.
As expected, the cursor moves to the line below "Word1" and the Caption field remains in focus.
Type "Word2" and press Ctrl+Return/Enter key.
As expected, the cursor moves to the line below "Word2" and the Caption field remains in focus.
Click the JPG thumbnail and notice a down-arrow icon appears on the thumbnail indicating that the metadata for this JPG has been changed in the LR catalog and that it does not match the IPTC metadata that is embedded in the JPG file on the hard disk. Also notice in the Metadata panel, Metadata Status is "Has been changed".
Click the down-arrow on the JPG thumbnail.
See the dialog box that pops up saying "The metadata for this photo has been changed in Lightroom. Save the changes to disk?"
Click Save.
Notice on the JPG thumbnail, the down-arrow icon remains visible and does not disappear as it should if the JPG's metadata in the LR catalog and the metadata embedded in the JPG file on the hard disk were the same.
Also notice in the Metadata panel, Metadata Status is "Has been changed".
Click LR Menu bar > Edit > Catalog Settings... > Metadata tab > Editing
check Automatically write changes into XMP
Click OK.
Notice on the JPG thumbnail, the down-arrow icon blinks rapidly. Also notice in the Metadata panel that "Metadata Status: Has been changed" blinks rapidly.
Click LR Menu bar > Edit > Catalog Settings... > Metadata tab > Editing
uncheck Automatically write changes into XMP
Notice the blinking stops.
Using a program that properly handles Carriage Returns/Line Feeds in IPTC metadata, such as Photo Mechanic 4.5, edit the metadata of another JPG file by typing "Word1", pressing the Return/Enter key, and typing "Word2" in the Caption field.
Import that JPG into LR.
LR Menu bar > File > Import Photos from disk... > Choose the JPG file
In the Import Photos dialog box, Information to Apply:
Develop Settings: None
Metadata: None
Keywords: None
Click Import.
Click the JPG thumbnail in LR Library Module.
Notice in the Metadata panel, "Word1Word2" appears in the Caption field, in both the Default Metadata Set and the Large Caption Metadata Set. The CR/LF has been stripped away.
CR/LFs typed into or pasted into the Large Caption set, also result in the persistence of the down-arrow icon even after metadata is saved to disk. And, if the Automatically write changes into XMP option is checked, the down-arrow icon blinks rapidly. And, if you view the Default set, notice Metadata Status: "Has been changed" blinks rapidly.
When metadata is saved to disk, the down-arrow icon should disappear from the thumbnail, and in the Metadata panel, Metadata Status should read "Up to date". I would guess the blinking behavior indicates LR is stuck in some kind of loop - it is trying to save the metadata to disk and verify that it has been saved, but it keeps going round in a vicious circle. I also notice there is increased hard drive activity during the blinking behavior.

Here is a related problem (using Lightroom 3.3, Windows). When I import photos that have the IPTC caption field created in another program (ThumbsPlus, or IrfanView), carriage returns in the original do not show up in Lightroom. Does anyone know why, or what to do about it? I'd like to import lots of photos with existing captions, and some have carriage returns I would like to retain.
For me, adding a carriage return to the Caption metadata within Lightroom works fine. In the Library view, using the right panel, I can enter a carriage return using Ctrl+Enter in the Metadata > Default view or in the Metadata > IPTC view. I can enter a carriage return directly with the Enter key (no Ctrl required) in the Metadata > Large Caption view. After these entries are saved to the file, they show up correctly in other programs (IrfanView > Image > Properties > IPTC Info)

Carriage Returns in HTML Code Creating Extra Spaces Between Elements

I've looked online all over and can't find the solution to my issue. I've found several pages explaining a similar event, but no solution.
When placing many divs next to each other, I would like to visually view the code as one div per line: (see image) To get this, I have to use hard returns in my code (this method makes editing a lot easier visually). But doing so adds extra spacing between the divs which turns a 3 column set of thumbnails to 2 colums. I can fix this if I adjust the physical margins between the divs, but this can't be the only fix.
The other fix is if I place the code back to back to back (see image): This makes the div's behave and appear as they should, but now the code is a visual mess because it's all cluttered.
What I want is to be able to use as many carriage returns in my code and for browsers to disregard these types of line breaks in the code. So essentially, how can I get away from these extra spaces when using hard returns in code?

I think that both your pages have a missing </div> at the end somewhere.
Opps... that happened when I was stripping down the page to create a working example of my issue. I've fixed the missing div and re-uploaded both pages. The problem is still there.
Change display: inline; to float: left; and add margin: 0 0 4px 4px; (as shown below)
I had already tried using float, but something else in the code was forcing the columns to 2 instead of 3.
Have you used "Apply Source Formatting" ?
I use that religiously. I'm quite anal about visually clean code.
Well, I just fixed the problem while replying... funny... I removed the margins from the actual img element (.imageThumb img) and placed it on the div which surrounds the img (.imageThumb). I also reapplied the float. Thanks all for the help - it helped me rethink. But I could have sworn I had once placed the margins on .imageThumb before and it didn't work.
.imageThumb {
    width: 100px;
    height: 75px;
    display: inline;
    float: left;
    margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
    cursor: pointer;
.imageThumb img {
    /*margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;*/

HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error from Discoverer Viewer to Portal

HI,
I created a tab with a list of workbooks created with Discoverer Viewer and published with Discoverer Portliest Provider (List of Database Workbooks). Another tab contains four Discoverer Worksheets created with the same account. Everything works well but if i click on a report in list and open Discoverer Viewer, when i return to portal and go to tab containing worksheets i see message "HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error" and i'm not able to do anything. I only can close my browser and i must reconnect to portal!
Can you help me?
My portal version is cg (9.0.4), i'm using Windows 2000 ESP and Internet Explorer 6.
I tried with Olin and Mazola but result did not change.
I used a public connection bud i tried a private connection too. Nothing happened.

The application.log file, under the OC4J which running your Discoverer provider, should give you some hints about the problem you're facing.
Peter
