Changes req for Zprograms in MM module with multiple lang support

hi all ,
I have a requirement to enable zprograms into unicode for the chinese project. I have done it thru Uccheck and all the programs are unicode enabled .
1.MY QUESTION IS WHETHER I NEED TO DO ANY MORE CHANGES IN THE PROGRAMS SO THAT WHEN THE COMPANY IMPLEMENT THESE ZPROGRAMS , WILL THEY WORK PROPERLY IN CHINESE LOGIN AS earlier DEFAULT LANGUAGE was GERMAN...
2. how the screens fields will look if the login is chinese and is data consistent.
Any help is higly appreciated .
regards,
Amarnath Reddy.

Hi
   Normal executions shouldnt be a problem. Hope the programs are handled to scatter for different languages. Mainly the data to be considered is like, material descriptions, address details...
   Concentrate more on the interfaces if any - Communicating with external systems. We have to consider whether the external system can accept Unicode data or atleast the required code pages acceptable.
Below are few cases that i remember as of now from my experience:
   Few systems can not accept unicode data, so in that case the data downloading should be done in NON-UNICODE format.
   If the external system can not recognize required code page then the data sent in chineese will not be recognizable.
   Hope the above info can give you some more idea.
Kind Regards
Eswar

Create ecatt script for one sales order creation with multiple line items

Hi ,
I want to create a ecatt script for one sales order creation with multiple line items. Preferably SAP GUI.
This selection of data will be from an external file/ variants which will have only one row of data in it.
Firstly: I have to sort the external file having same PO Numbers in an order.Group them together.
Second: I have to create sales order for those many line items having same PO Number.
Best Regard
Taranum

Hi Micky
Firstl you should upload the Line items for a particular sales Order in an Internal table
and then pass that internal table to your BAPI during your coding corresponding to a particu;lar sales order
In case of any issues pls revert back

How to design a form with multiple lang(Arabic and Eng) in a page

Hi All,
Could you pls help me how to design a form with multiple languages. when I set the form proprties-->Form Locale as Arabic. English text is comming in reverse and when set the FormLocale as English, Arabic text is comming in revese.
Pls help me how to design
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jayakar

I am not sure how you can have two different languages inside the same PDF.
Alternatively, if you want to place only the static labels, you can convert all the static label in one language to images and set the form language setting to other. And place the images inside the form using Image field. For example, you can keep the form language as English and then convert all the arabic language labels/ Static text to images.
Anotherway,
Have same sections in both the languages and hide and unhide based on the user selection of the language..
if your user chooses Arabic, then you can unhide the Arabic sections and change the form language properties programmatically..
Thanks

Create folders with multiple language support

How can folders be created supporting multiple languages?
I am using Mac OS X with English as my native language. As I would like to have several folders named in Japanese this causes some trouble: It is no problem to name them using Japanese characters, but if I navigate through these folders using the Terminal as I often do the names will only appear like "???????????????????" even if I use 'export LCALL="jaJP.UTF-8"' to get right character interpretation for the Terminal. There must be an alternative name support for folders as I tried to create folders while I switched to Japanese as my native language for Mac OS X and all standard user folders switched to Japanese language. In the Terminal these folders still appear in international English language. And also when I copy those folders to an external hard drive the multiple language support will stay alive. But I still didn't find out how new folders created by myself will get multiple language support. Any hints?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I have to switch between Romaji and Hiragana/Katakana input method every time I have to spell japanese folder names. (Tab completion doesn't work at all for these folders.)
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean there. Where are you spelling the names? In Terminal?
Yes, I meant typing Japanese characters in the Terminal. It works but it's very uncomfortable as shortcuts to switch the input method don't work while writing commands in the Terminal. Standard folders like "Documents", "Pictures" etc. appear in English in the Terminal even if the localization has been switched to an other language. (So there is no need to switch the input method while working in the Terminal.)
In case the folders are stored on an external drive (even if it's fat) and it's plugged in on another computer they appear in English likewise.
Self created folders normally won't have this ability. But to customize this behaviour is exactly what I am looking for. I guess the information about the "international aliases" must be in a hidden file or something like that.
That must certainly be part of the localization system for the OS. Here is some info:
http://developer.apple.com/internationalization/localization/tools.html
Thank you for the link, first I'll explore the tools. Maybe I'll find some useful information.
I'll return as soon as I need help again or if I found what I am searching for.
Thank you so far.

Hi Kelly,
I guess <wa_tab>-handle_style is of type lvc_t_styl therefore you can do the following:
ls_edit-style = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled.
"I assume you know your non-key fields' names so you can use subrotuine to perform update on each of them
ls_edit-fieldname = 'First field name' .
PERFORM update ls_edit.
ls_edit-fieldname = 'Second field name'.
PERFORM update ls_edit.
ls_edit-fieldname = 'Third field name'.
PERFORM update ls_edit
FORM update USING fs_edit type lvc_s_styl.
field-symbols: <style_tab> type lvc_t_styl,
                     <style_wa> type lvc_s_styl.
LOOP AT <tab> ASSIGNING <wa_tab>.
   if e_row = sy-tabix .
     "get you style table
     assign component 'HANDLE_STYLE' of structure <wa_tab> to <style_tab>.
     "as <style_tab> is typed fully you can read the row you are interested in
     read table <style_tab> assigning <style_wa> with key fieldname = fs_edit-fieldname
     if sy-subrc = 0.
       "update this entry
        <style_wa> = fs_edit.
*        modify table <style_tab> from <style_wa>.
     endif.
   endif.
endloop.
endform.
Note!
Though, this should work, the use of RTTI as Uwe suggested would be best practise approach as far as dynamic programming is concerned. Anyhow it is still up to you which one you pick.
Regards
Marcin
I noticed now that this line is not necessary
modify table <style_tab> from <style_wa>.
as we simply are working with field symbols, so changes made to <style_wa> are already visible in that table <style_tab>.

Developing UPK Modules with multiple development users...

HI and thanks for reading my post, we are in the early pre-implementation stages and I am tasked with learning UP Developer and so far it seems like a great tool, however I feel like something basic is missing and was wondering if I have just missed something?
The issue: we want to save the UPK module to a network drive and have multiple users able to access and edit it while in testing and development.
As far as I can see UPK stores the working file in the program directory on the local drive…
Has anyone else out there developed their training in a similar method?

Hi Anshu,
1) refer SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit on deployment scenarios.
2) as you are not going to use ui5 ABAP repository team provider, I think you can use CVS version control system. refer About source code version control with CVS

Looking for a webmail with multiple accounts support

Hi,
I would like to set up a webmail on my server which I will use to check my various mail accounts on gmail and others.
I tried mutt, alpine, claws-mail, but I don't really like "true" mail clients, I prefer to use webmails (so it can render HTML mails, and I can access it from anywhere). But since I have many accounts, I can't (and don't want) to use the gmail webmail.
So I'm looking for a webmail which could transparently handle multiple accounts from different mail providers. I will be the only one using it so I don't even need multiple users to log on.
Does it exists? What would you recommend? I don't know anything about webmails.
My server is running lighttpd, with php and python (webpy). I'm not afraid of modifying some of the code if needed.
Thanks.

You can collect mail to your server, sort it (say have one local account with one folder per mail account), and view it via webmail.
Check this wiki articles:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ema … l_procmail

I don't use this setup so I don't know how it works, but looks like what you are looking for.

Jdev for R12.1.1 fails with java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi All,
We upgraded our 11i environment to R12 version 12.1.1
As mentioned in metalink note 787209.1, I downloaded Patch 8431482 10G Jdeveloper with OA Extension ARU for R12.1.1 and followed all the setup steps.
When I run the Tutorial.jpr, the page is throwing java.lang.NullPointerException. I tried this on 3 different dev boxes and am getting the same error.
Wondering if any one was able to successfully install this version of Jdeveloper (Jdeveloper: Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.3.0.3,
Build JDEVADF_10.1.3.3.0_NT_RELEASE)
I made sure that:
1) The user account has got OA Framework ToolBox Tutorial and OA Framework ToolBox Tutorial Labs responsibility attached to it.
2) There is no problem with the database connection.
3) Preferences --> Embeded oc4j and the Default Local IP Address is checked
4) Am using updated DBC file and removed "/" from DBC file.

Just an update:
I was able to successfully setup and run the earlier version of Jdev from "Patch 7523554 10G Jdeveloper With OA Extension ARU for R12 RUP6" against R12.1.1.
I still am getting the same error when I try to reinstall "Patch 8431482 10G Jdeveloper with OA Extension ARU for R12.1.1".
Hoping to hear from anyone out there who has R12.1.1 and is able to run 8431482 Jdev.
Also is there any downside in using Jdev for R12.0.6 against R12.1.1?

Best practices for organizing a large "project" with multiple programmers

should i put everyone in one application? should everyone get their own applcation? my understanding (limited) is the level of granularity for CVS is the application. sounds to me like multiple developers checking the same application in and out would be a disaster. if every developer has there own application what problems will i have deploying. how do i handle my configuration (navigation) diagram? any thoughts would be appreciated.

Have a read through these:

Hi
I am sure, it is logically incorrect, how you deploy byte code agent in abap only instance
Introscope Bytecode Agent runs on managed systems based on J2EE engines to report data to the Introscope Enterprise Manager, so it has to be setup only for Java Stacks.
Please check with the wily config guide again.
I am watching this thread for further view from others.
Thanks,
Jansi

Change from 4.5 to 5,1 with multiple select list boxes

Had a multiple select list box which worked fine in 4.5 i.e
          a comma seperated list would be passed to the corresponding set method

Vladimir,
          I am using a JSP/Java Beans design where the name of the
          set
          method in the bean match the name of the ui component so when the form
          is submitted the method in the bean is automatically called. The method

Most versatile IDE with multiple language support IYO ?

Im trying to gauge which IDE would be best for coding a variety of languages (C/C++, Python, Java...). I'd ideally like something with plugin support, so that you can extend its functionality as desired, and write your own add-ons should the need arise. It'd be great if there was inbuilt support for less common languages such as OCAML, and for more recent languages like Ruby.
I've been using a solely CLI-based setup for 6 months now, with firefox being the only gui app I've used (coding: vim, IM: centericq, IRC: weechat, Music: mpd). I converted to that setup thinking that it would boost my efficiency, since Ratpoison with GNU Screen makes every mouse action replaceable with a keyboard combo. Recently though, I've been frustrated at certain limitations of Ratpoison, and while I have gained speed with some of its features, I've lost speed with others.
The gist of this is that I'm going to go back to Openbox with the expose-like Skippy, and the Mac OS Dock-like yab (via adesklets). I'll miss the versatility of using nought but the terminal, but it sure will be a breath of fresh air to seem some aesthetically pleasing interfaces, lol
Ive looked at what IDEs are on offer, and the most interesting ones are jEdit (perhaps you'd like to convince me Dusty? ), Eclipse (which I've used for Java and Python, and I like it, but it's so fat! lol) and PIDA (not used and can't find screenshots - the ones on the Berlios project page for it won't display: they say I'm unauthorized for access). I'd love to hear any feedback from people who've used any of these development environments and wish to sing their praises, or point out any flaws. Similarly, it'd be great to hear of any other software that Archers have used and found to be productive.
Any offers?

I already wrote this, but it disappeared... weird.
I don't hate Vim by any means; I think it's a very impressive piece of software, and very efficient in terms of speed. But I'm no longer of the school of thought who consider mouse-usage alone to be the most efficiest interface, or the opposing school of thought that consider just using keyboard combos is the way forward.
I used to think the latter, but after using ratpoison and CLI apps for so long, I've changed my mind. It is very fast to use the keyboard for coding - keyboard shortcuts for auto-completion, indentation etc, very handy. But what if you want to traverse a tree of modules you're working on, looking at separate, random pieces of code you've written in different files. It's a lot faster to just click on whatever module/interface/whatever you want to see the code of, rather than manually scrolling up or down said tree.
Also, for something as simple as scrolling page contents, I prefer to use a mouse. it feels more pleasant than using the keyboard, and it's faster when using the mousewheel. If there's a particular chunk of code on the page that you want to see in the centre of the window, with the keyboard you'd first use the page up/down shortcut to get near the desired area (which has a limited speed), and then you have to manually shift the page up or down by a few lines to get bang on whatever you wish to see. Using a mouse to do the same thing is much quicker. The same argument applies for copy-and-paste.
Some things in Ratpoison are very fast, like being able to launch applications via easily-customizable keyboard shortcuts. But other things, like window resizing (or rather, frame resizing in Ratpoison ) are very slow. True, you can set pre-defined frame layouts, and also resize frames with key combos... but I hate the inflexibility of this. Frame resizing via the keyboard is so slow; it's something you could do in a second or less using a mouse; the same with moving windows around - a simple action to perform via the mouse, yet in Ratpoison moving frames around is difficult, and moving windows around involves combinations of swapping frame contents, tabbing through available windows, or looking to see what number the window you want is, and THEN switching to it by number. This is slow IMO.
Don't get me wrong, I still think Ratpoison is really good, and completely achieves what it's going for - the easy-to-use Screen-esque WM - but as I say, I just feel that a keyboard-mouse combo is the way forward.
Some people may say that it's better to use CLI-only apps for SSHing, since if you've got a low speed connection, they're the best. But most businesses, colleges, schools and homes where you work/study and need to use SSH have broadband now, so as long as you set up X forwarding, which is a simple task, then you can use your gui apps anywhere you want.
I will never dislike Vim (or Emacs for that matter; both have pros and cons), I do not consider them to be archaic or unwieldy because they're CLI apps (ignoring their X counterparts); I simply feel that a combination of their do-it-by-the-numbers keyboard combos with the flexible-as-a-yoga-teacher mouse is an all-round safer (and faster) bet.
Anyway, I don't want to go too far off topic - I'm just trying to explain why I wish to return to gui-land after being in cli-territory for so long. I'd be grateful if people would mostly ignore this post, and respond to my first post by sharing information and opinions on other IDEs (although I welcome your opinions on what I've just said, Phrakture, since you're the longest Ratpoison/Screen user I know of, and it's clearly worked for you ).
I'd really like to hear from Dusty, if he reads this... I know he's working on Magnum (I *think*, anyway) and uses or did use JEdit, so I'd like to hear what he likes about them compared to vim etc.
Anyone who's got an IDE suggestion or opinion is most welcome to respond

Help with multiple format support in FCP 7.

I have a handheld camera that records in .mts format and I need to be able to run it in the same project file as .mov files from a canon 7D camera. Which I believe are h264? Is there a way to convert the .MTS or to use multiple formats in one project?

Just to add to Ilovm's advice, the Canon may shoot .mov files, but you're right…they are h.264 and also need to be transcoded to an editing codec, That can be done in Log & Transfer, if the camera's card structure is still intact, or in Compressor or MPEG STreamclip if L&T isn't an option. So when you set up your project, your clips and sequence will all be in the same codec, typically a variant of Pro Res.

Hi,

ie
o_mobile_no o_doc_date o_status d_mobile_no d_doc_date d_status
9825000111 01-jan-06 'a' 980515464 01-feb-06 c
