Change element type of an array of containers (from LabVIEW)

Hi,
I have an empty Array of Container type and need to insert an element of a custom data type definition. If I already have an element of the type definition, it is simple to copy that element and insert it as a new element. But inserting a new element to a empty array I need to specify that the element should be of this data type.
Getting the type definition with the Method "GetTypeDefinition" and inserting this as a new value simply "moves" my type definition to the inserted element (which is not suppose to happen). Can't find a method to change data type and seems that none of the property options does the trick to.
I just need to do the same as "change type" in the TestStand editor, just inside LabVIEW.
What did I miss??
Thanks
Note: Use edit of the step in the attached sequence file. Collapse and expand "Locals" after running the Edit function to see the result.

Hi,
When i am writing my stuff i was not able to open your SequenceFile. Now i was.
My upper example is only working for arrays of Types. It is also working on empty Arrays, too.
Please tell me why you do not use an array of types ?

Screens: Change Element type

Hello experts,
I need to change a number of types of screen elements on an existing screen for example a checkbox to an input/output field and checkbox to a dropdown list box. Please advise if SAP allows this as the screen element types are greyed out .....maybe the only way is to delete the sub-screen and create it again using the correct screen element types.
Thanks

Hello WDABAP,
Would I find this screen exit in the flow logic for this particular screen and if so would it be in the SAP function module used before output.

Set Array of Containers

Hi Ppl,
I have an array of clusters in LabVIEW. The cluster has two elements a boolean and a numeric. When I try to set this array of clusters from LabVIEW to TestStand using the TestStand API's I get an error that the type does not match.
To explain in detail I have an Local Array of containers with three elements. Each container element has a boolean and a numeric. I have a equivalent array of clusters in LabVIEW. In a LabVIEW action step I use the to variant node to convert the array to a cluster and use the setvaluevariant method to set the local. But it does work.

Change data type from number(11,6) to number (11,8)

I have a table, which has a million records...I have to change data type of some of the columns from number (11,6) to number (11,8).
I thought of taking the backup of the table , truncating the original table, change the data type and then insert data back.
Is it a safe option considering so many records ?

the first number is precision and the second is scale:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14196/schema002.htm#sthref472
so yes, 11,6 can hold larger numbers than 11,8
create table foobar (two number(5,2),
three number(5,3))
insert into foobar values (123.45,12.345);
--works fine
insert into foobar values (123.45,123.45);
--gives error ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column

"In initializer for 'mxmlContent', type Object is not assignable to target Array element type..."

Hi all,
So I've have built an application on flash builder 4.5 using Christophe Coenraets' tutorial "Building an EmployeeDirectory" (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/employee-directory-android-flex.html#articlecont entAdobe_numberedheader).
I'm getting this error message "In initializer for 'mxmlContent', type Object is not assignable to target Array element type mx.core.IVisualElement." and then the debugger highlights my code this line of my code "</s:List>" in my EmployeeDetails.mxml file. This started after I coded Part 5, Step 2 "Integrating with the Device Capabilities: Triggering the Actions". The rest of the code debugged fine.
I think it relates to Christophe's note "Note: Make sure you import spark.events.IndexChangeEvent (and not mx.events.IndexChangedEvent) for this code to compile.". I don't know where to place this
" import spark.events.IndexChangeEvent;" line of code.
Any help? Tks in advance..
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You have a DataGrid directly inside a State element. Perhaps wrap it in an AddChild element?

Cost Element Type change with balance in it

Hi All,
I have a P &L account created in FS00 maintained as cost element of type 1 , and now we want to change it as type 12 sales and Deductions Cost element, so when I try to change in FS00 it didn't allow me to do so as it is having some balance, so
What can I do now ?
How can I change that cost element type from 1 to 12 ?
How can I clear the balance that is that account now ?
and where can I see what balance is in that Cost element?
Your Help greately appreciated,
Sandhya

Hi Eli,
Thank you for the valueble report, But it shows I have no data in that cost element ,
But When I try to change the CE category in FS00 it is saying the transactional data exists Message KS134 ,
where can I see the actual dollar amount sitting in that Cost Element?
and
If I don't know how much in that CE how can I transfer the amount from this CE to another CE?
Please Help me Guru s,,,

Change cost element type 4 to 1

Hello,
I want to change a cost element type "4" to "1". But SAP does not allow it because the plan data on the cost element.
How can I change the type? Please any help.
Thanks

HI,
I'm afraid if dependent data (actual and/or planning data) exist for cost element for the fiscal year, then there is no way to change the category type until the next fiscal year. This is to prevent inconsistency in the data for a given fiscal year. When posting the first transaction data (plan or actual posting), a year dependent entry is created in a control table for the cost element. You can only change the category if NO transaction data exist for the relevant year or if all the transaction data for this cost element/year
is deleted.
An option is to create a new analysis period (KA02 -> Basic Screen -> Edit -> Analysis Period) and specify the new cost element category. The new analysis period can only be specified in yearly intervals.
For further information on this please review the attached note:
37093 Master data: change/delete validity period

How to change elements in ArrayList into String

Greetings,
i like to change elements in arrayList into string.
This is how i declare an ArrayList in a Java file
ArrayList listing = new ArrayList();below is just a simple example of how i insert the string into the arraylist
String concat = "';
concat = concat + "apple";
//Transfer the concat string into arraylist
listing.add(concat);
return listing;
{code}
On my Jsp page, it will receive the ArrayList from the java file. Lets say the Arrayist is pass into my JSP arraylist
This is my JSP arraylist
{code}ArrayList optLists = new ArrayList();{code}
Inside the arraylist element, it holds data eg: *308577;;RS | [CAT 2] Level: Arena, Section: A02* with a pipe between RS and CAT 2.
Now i looping the arraylist
{code}int a = 0;
     for ( a=0; a < optLists.size(); a++)
          String tempString = "";
          String splitTemp = "";
                 String tempString = (String)optLists.get(a);
          splitTemp = tempString.split("|");
          System.out.println("Split String Results: "+ splitTemp);
     {code}}
Heres the error:
*SeatAvailable_jsp.java:560: incompatible types*
    *[javac] found   : java.lang.String[]*
    *[javac] required: java.lang.String*
    *[javac]             splitTemp = tempString.split("|");*
    *[javac]*
What can i do to solve the problem?

paternostro is right, you are returning an array into a string which is wrong
but try this, i haven't tested it though..
nt a = 0;
     for ( a=0; a < optLists.size(); a++)
          String tempString = "";
          String splitTemp = "";
                 String tempString = (String)optLists.get(a);
          String[] splitTemp = tempString.split("|");
          for(String xyz : splitTemp)
               System.out.println("Split String Results: "+ xyz);

Two unexpected Locals variables when iterating over array of containers.

Hi,
I iterate over an array of containers. In the ForEach loop step variables format I have defined two variables; one is current offset, second one is current element.
The loop works fine.
However, during the debug process, I've spotted two new Locals variables called __ElementSibling0 (type: number) and __ForEachReleaser0 (type: obj. reference) created silently by TS as soon as I start iterating over my array. What are they?
Do they exist because:
I'm iterating over an array of containers, or
I use the _currentElement_Freq variable, or
it always like that?
Solved!

Those are used by the implementation of the For Each step. You can see them only because you have enabled the Show Hidden Properties setting.
You can safely ignore their presence.

How can I check an object is an instance of any type within an array of related types?

In LabVIEW, it's possible to check the runtime type of an object using To More Specific Class.vi. One usage of this would be to perform a safety check if some kind of class uses instances of another kind of class but is only able to handle a subset of that class' child types.
For instance, let's say you had Beverage.lvclass, which represents an abstract type of product, and several subclasses: Coffee.lvclass, Tea.lvclass and Soda.lvclass.
We also have a Person.lvclass which can drink beverages. A person also has preferences about the drinks they do or do not like:
Attached is an implementation of this in LabVIEW.
In Person.lvclass : Drink.vi, I have the following code. For whatever reason the wire appears broken in these snippets but it's all fine in the actual code.
In Scenario.vi, I have the following code:
What I'm finding is that no error is generated and instead I get "Yum, I love tea!", "Yum, I love coffee!" and "Yum, I love soda!". My guess is that To More Specific Class.vi casts to the static type of the "target class" input wire rather than its runtime type - and because I'm passing in elements from an array of types, the wire's static type is upcasted to the most specific type that is a superclass of the types in the array - which would be Beverage.lvclass. And so the cast is trying to determine if an object of static type Beverage.lvclass is an instance of Beverage.lvclass, which will of course be the case all the time.
Is there any way to make LabVIEW check against the most specific runtype type of an object? As in, is there something I could do that, in this example case, would allow me to get the required behaviour of Joe throwing an error when he's made to drink soda? Or is this another limitation of LabVIEW that I'm going to have to live with?
Solved!

Your guess seems reasonable. I can't check right now, but there's a primitive called preserve run time type, which should do what you want.
Cheers, that seems to have got it! I've never really looked at Preserve Run-Time Class before, but it seems to do the right thing.

How to disable one single element in a 2D array?

Hello,
I would like to disable one element in a 2D array. its size is constant at least.
I can change its value by using a 1D array of cluster, but I can't use the property mode easily to disable an element.
If you have any idea, it will be great.
Thank you for your help.
Lolopuf

Right click on the particular control you want to disable and change the properties on that. To do it programmatically, create a reference for that specific control and set the Disabled property for that.

How to add elements into java string array?

I open a file and want to put the contents in a string array. I tried as below.
String[] names;
s = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("outfile.txt")));
while (s.hasNext()) {
                String item = s.next();
                item.trim();
                email = item;
                names = email;
            }But I know that this is a wrong way of adding elements into my string array names []. How do I do it? Thanks.

Actually you cannot increase the size of a String array. But you can create a temp array with the lengt = lengthofarray+1 and use arraycopy method to copy all elements to new array, then you can assign the value of string at the end of the temp array
I would use this one:
String [] sArray = null;
s = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("outfile.txt")));
while (s.hasNext()) {
    String item = s.next();
    item.trim();
    email = item;
    sArray = addToStringArray(sArray, email);
* Method for increasing the size of a String Array with the given string.
* Given string will be added at the end of the String array.
* @param sArray String array to be increased. If null, an array will be returned with one element: String s
* @param s String to be added to the end of the array. If null, sArray will be returned.(No change)
* @return sArray increased with String s
public String[] addToStringArray (String[] sArray, String s){
     if (sArray == null){
          if (s!= null){
               String[] temp = {s};
               return temp;
          }else{
               return null;
     }else{
          if (s!= null){
               String[] temp = new String[sArray.length+1];
               System.arraycopy(sArray,0,temp,0,sArray.length);
               temp[temp.length-1] = s;
               return temp;
          }else{
               return sArray;

Array of cluster to array of element - or - Cluster of arrays?

Hi all,
I have a large cluster (lets call it C_data) containing measured data e.g. 10 Temperatures, Pressure, (Temp_1, ...).....
All these data are measured once per second. I now collect all data
measured over a certain time in an array of the aforementioned cluster,
that is
an array of C_data. In order to display time series of data in graphs I
need to extract arrays of elements from this array of C_data.
In a text based programming language this could look like the following:
Struct C_data {Temp_1, Temp_2, P_1.....}
ar_C_data is an array of C_data
now I want to do something like:
array_of_Temp_1 = ar_C_data[*].Temp_1
In some programming languages this works but I cannot unbundle_by_name the array of Temp_1 from ar_data in Labview.
Since my cluster is large and may change in structure (for this reason I use a typedef) a generic solution would be the best.
I know that I could: loop over all elements of ar_C_data, unbundle by
name, index elements into arrays, and use these but this seems very
inefficient if it is done every second on a large cluster (30 elements) with several thousand array elements....
Olaf

You can minimize the overhead of scanning through all elements and extracting if you pre-define the array and use "replace array subset". This avoide having to re-size the array which is costly.
Or you can keep an array separately in memory. When one cluster element is added, the corresponding element is added to the array too. Causes some memory overhead, but you're going to have that anyway if you generate them "on the fly".
I don't see a way to do this other than either search through the array and pick the elements you need -or-
keep a copy of the data in a form you can use.
It's a common question of how to structure data to best suit two sometimes conflicting needs - efficiency and useability.
What might be of interest is to change the "Array" - "Cluster" order and have a single cluster C-Data with arrays of each element required. Might be a bit more difficult to use, it depends on your application.
This way you have all arrays ready at all times, but generating a single cluster requires bundling the individual units on the fly.

Control caption names for elements of a boolean array

Howdy, folks
I'm trying to control the caption names for each element of a boolean array. Can't seem to find the appropriate property node which will index each element to each element in the FOR loop. Please see the attached.
Sure appreciate the help,
Hunter

Creating a text array lined up next to it is of course the simplest solution. If the labels are always fixed, you could just use plain label test on the front panel.
Here's an example how you can change the labels inside an array of cluster as I mentioned above. (LabVIEW 7.1).
