Change the maximum length of a field in oracle apps forms.

Hello all. The form which is used is POXPOEPO(purchase order) and the corresponding field is Supplier note(NOTE_TO_VENDOR).
The note_to_vendor field is stored in the table po_headers_all .The length of the field which actually is *480bytes* but if we have to enter more than 480char, what we have to do.
I used the custom.pll and tried to change the property of MAXIMUM_LENGTH using app_item_property2.set_property('PO_HEADERS.NOTE_TO_VENDOR',MAX_LENGTH,500). But there is no such property it seem. Is there a solution to enter more than 480 bytes in the field Supplier note(NOTE_TO_VENDOR).
Thank in advance.

Changing the lenght of the note_to_vendor field in the database or form is not advisable.
You should create a short text attachment at the header or line level.
Oracle seeded PO printing programs print this attachment on the PO /FAX.
This attachment can be much longer.
Hope this helps,

Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

Change the output length of a field?

I have a table that will write a field ] with 18 characters since that’s the length in the table, but instead the content of the field should be copied into a variable which length is 30 characters and then be written in to the text file (as a result blank spaces will be added at the end of the content of the variable). do i need to declare this in a DATA statement? if so, how?

Hi.
I think its quite similar with a issue I had a time ago and I solved it using copying RESPECTING BLANKS using concatenate command.
It will copy your 18 character fields adjusted to right position and respect blanks in the left side, in TXT file, so respecting 30 characters positions to this field in the file.
e.g.:
If you are trying to concatenate various fields per line into TXT, use this example that worked to me:
LOOP it_table.
your_30_char_field = matnr.
SHIFT your_30_char_field RIGHT DELETING TRAILING space.
concatenate .....field1 field2 field3 your_30_char_field ... fieldN into ls_file RESPECTING BLANCS.
append ls_file to IT_file.
ENDLOOP.

How can I change the content of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

Hello all!
First time poster, and getting pretty frustrated with trying to figure out this one issue. Here is the scenario: I am using Acrobat 10 Pro to design what is essentially a giant order form. I designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and whatnot and then exported it to Acrobat to continue building the form.
I have a Radio Button group called "conference_opportunities" which contains different options at different price points, so they are all named the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).
What I have done is created a "MouseDown" event on the radio button that sets a variable called "ConferenceOpportunity" which is equal to the title of the option they are picking. I then want to take that variable and display it in a text box called "Conference_Option". I am using a variable because the values of my radio buttons are all the actual prices of the option they are picking, so I can't define the value as the title of the option.
So its an array of radio buttons, and at the bottom of the page there is the Option They Selected, the quantity (which can change) and the value (in dollars)
I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a sort of summary of everything they chose to purchase as well but I imagine its the same code.
I am not an expert Javascript person at all, so any code snippets would help greatly. I have looked over the Adobe Document on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I have also turned to the almighty google and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Everyone

All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

How to set the maximum length that a user can enter in Msgstyledtextinput

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently using EBS 11.5.1 and 10.2g DB
Is there a way that I can set the maximum length that a user can input?
I changed the Maximum Length to lower number (from 150 to 100) but I get the following error.
Developer Mode Exception encountered in item SaveLocation
Error: The item SaveLocation has a maximum length (100)
         which is not equal to that of the corresponding VO attribute
       , SaveLocation length (150).
Action: Make sure they are equal in size. There must be other way to set that value
Thanks,
Elmer

You have to set the maximum length of column to 150 to avoid this error.
You can set the same in Jdev.
Thanks

Hi Vidyanand,
Did you create the runtime access user using the runtime assistant? Did you select the correct runtime repository (if you have more) to associate your runtime access user with?
Note that there are 4 database roles being created when you create a runtime repository owner:
- OWB_A_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_D_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_R_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_U_<runtime repository owner>
If you would grant those roles to a user, then that user becomes an access user for the user with username <runtime repository owner>.
Note that you can also use the runtime repository credentials to connect to the runtime repository for deployment purposes, but you may not want that because of security concerns.
Thanks,
Mark.

How do I identify the maximum length of video in iMovie which can be made into a dvd in iDVD, please?

How do I identify the maximum length of video in iMovie which can be made into a dvd in iDVD, please?
I made a sellection of video clips > pressed on "share" > on iDVD > after one hour of formating the message was under "project duration" : "Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window."
I have edited out some of the clips and waited anothe hour or so bu the same message appeared !
I want to know in advance how long can be the video clip sellection for the quality of video chosen ( the best before HD).
please help if ou can.
thank you very much indeed.

It's trying to tell you to change the encoding setting:
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

How to change the visible length in screen painter?

Hi Guys,
we have field in screen which is type to ATWRT but the visible length is set to 11. ATWRT is 30 char.
Please advise on How to change the visible length in screen painter to make it 30?
When I try to edit the defined length from 11 to 30. It wont allow me to.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Try the below method:
Goto Screen Painter -> Double click on Input-Output field for ATWRT another screen will appear with attributes of Input Output field -> Increase the Visible length Value there. (Option of visible length is below the Name and Text attribut of Attribute windiw.)
If the Visible length field isn't allowing change then declare it as a Char type instead of taking the DataType for Data Dictionary.
Thanks,
Preyansh

Can we change the data type of a field based on the value of the field

HI Gurus,
My Requirement is as below -- Could you please guide me
in the Printable Adobe form -- for ex - as usual for dates fields in the Object Pallette the object type is a date/time field and for quantity/currency fields corresponding fields are taken
now in case the either the date, quantity or currency is initial in place of displaying 0.00 or empty date we need to display N/A (Not Applicable)
for this I would like to change the data type of the field
to put it simply --
we need to change the data type of date field from DATE&TIME to Char type to hold N/A or Quantity field to Char field to hold N/A
how can we realize this in SAP adobe forms
Thanks in Advace
Ramchander Rao.K

Hello Ramchander,
     You cannot change the data type of the field at run time in Adobe forms because the type of field you choose at the time of design level is associated with the data type itself.
If you want to achieve your requirement, then your main idea should be to set the data type as CHARACTER itself while designing the field in the adobe form itself. CHAR field will comfortably hold the value of Calculation/amount field, Currency field, Amount, Date, Time HHMMSS, Unit Accuracy, Currency key, Floating point number, Numeric text, Client, Language and many other data types.
After designing the field as TEXT field in Adobe form you have two options.
Option 1:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms.
Suppose the name of the field is TEXTFIELD1, then write the Javascript code on this field in Initialize event as below.
if ( this.rawvalue == null )
     this.rawvalue = "N/A";
If the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
Option 2:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms. Do the formatting part in ABAP itself. It will increase the performance. Avoid Javascript as much as possible.
Suppose you have a DATE variable l_dats of type DATS. Then take another variable l_date of type CHAR. Then write the below ABAP code.
MOVE l_dats TO l_date.
IF l_date IS INITIAL.
     l_date = 'N/A'.
ENDIF.
Bind the l_date to the TEXT field in the form.
Even in this case, if the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
But I will suggest you to use Option 2 of keeping the AMOUNT, QUANTITY, DATE, TIME fields etc as CHAR or TEXT fields in Adobe form and do the required formatting in ABAP itself.

However ALV output not displaying the entire length.
Call the following function to display output in ALV form

Hi,
Setting row and height is for layout purposes and not for the limiting of text in a TextEdit UI Element.
To ensure that the Text Exit has only 40 characters in 04s - you can do as Alka has suggested.
For doing the same in CE 7.1 - you can use the onChange Action and write code inside that method to limit the number of characters.
I would suggest that you use IWDMessageManager to show a message in the MessageTray whenever the user goes over the limit of 40 characters - rather than accept the whole text and then show some sort of popup.
Thanks.

Identifying the maximum length of a record in internal table

Hi,
Im using an internal table for a string for some requirement.
Now, at later point of time i need to use for CHAR variable to copy the data from the above internal table.
I need to identify the max length of the record stored in this internal table so that i can assign that much length to this CHAR variable.
Is there any standard fm or any abap stmts.
Thanks
rohith

You have to Loop the entire Itab to find the Maximum length of the record stored.
Just like this:
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
        v_str1 type string,
      end of itab.
data: v_len type i.
data: v_len1 type i.
itab-v_str1 = 'mahesh sap abap'.
append itab. clear itab.
itab-v_str1 = 'mahesh'.
append itab. clear itab.
itab-v_str1 = 'mahesh sap'.
append itab. clear itab.
loop at itab.
v_len = strlen( itab-v_str1 ).
if v_len > v_len1.
    v_len1 = v_len.
else.
    continue.
endif.
clear: v_len.
endloop.
write:/ 'Max Length', v_len1.

Is it possible to use the status of a checkbox to change the fillcolor of a numeric field?

I have read through most all of the threads, but found none pertaining to my specific question. I would like to change the fillcolor of a numeric field based upon the status (on/off) of a checkbox located on a different page. In other words, if the checkbox is checked I want the numeric field to be yellow with a solid (thin) black border. I have tried:
If (CheckBox1.rawValue="1")
{this.fillcolor="R,G,B";} else
{this.fillcolor="250,250,250"};
I haven't gotten the correct RGB values yet for the color I am using, that is why the script has "R,G,B"
I am pretty new at javascript and have been learning a lot from the forums, but I just can't seem to figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Give this a go...
// form1.page1.cb::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == 1) {
xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.nf.ui.#numericEdit.border.fill.color").value = "255,255,0";
form1.page1.nf.border.edge.color.value = "0,0,0";
else {
xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.nf.ui.#numericEdit.border.fill.color").value = "255,255,255";
form1.page1.nf.border.edge.color.value = "255,255,255";
Don't forget to make your form a dynamic form.
Steve
