Changing Field Size

I have a VARCHAR(30) field that I wanted lengthened to 50. I modified column on the table in Object Browser to the new size. I changed the field width on the page to the new size. However, the field will only still let me enter 30 characters. What else do I have to do to be able to enter 50 characters now?
Thanks.

Hi Mike,
Did you change in the Element part of your item (Edit Page Item) the "Width" and "Maximum Width"? Especially the Maximum width you may want to check...
If you implemented some kind of javascript to limit the width, review that too.

How to change field size using SQL against an oracle Database

I am an admitted novice user, looking to become more proficient.
I have a field in a table that I need to expand the field size. The table is called Inquiries. The data type is text. The current Field Size is 10. I want to increase it, to either the max, or somethign long enough to fit TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP PROGRAM.
What is the SQL command to change the field size, and what is the max for a Text Field Size

And/Or, an even better question might be,
Do I need to use SQL*PLUS to do this, or are there better tools. I.e, I like how in Access, you can open up a database in Design view and just change the amount for the field size. Is there a similar "easy" method to do something like that with an Oracle database.
My current version of the server/database is:
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
I was thinking I had to do SQL commands to perform the action, but there may be another way that I am not thinking about with all of the tools at my disposal. When I installed Oracle on my desktop, I installed most of the management tools and networking services, if that helps

Changing field size by typing

Dear,
Is there a way to use use a multi ligne texte field without à scroll bar.
Is it possible to let the field changing size with the typed text ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you set the textfield to plain text and limit to visible area and set the font of the value to '0' - then the font will start off at 12pt and will automatically reduce once the field has filled up. Takes some experimenting to get the size right for the average content the user will put in. Otherwise the font becomes too small.

Request for changing field size

Please increase the size of OITM.ItemCode and of OITM.SWW to at least 30 for each of it !!!

This suggestion has been given many time in the forum. Honestly, I think its a very bad suggestion.
I thought about that too, but its not really a solution that works in 'real life'. You will have dozens of selection masks, lists and so on throughout B1 that are based on the ItemCode field, and are even not adjustable to use the description field instead. You end up in a mess...
However, it seems that this is a requirement that comes up a lot. I think SAP really should extend the length of ItemCode to at least about 30 char.

How do I change the size of a Spry Input Text field box?

I created an email reply box, and then I created a reply message box. How do I change the size of each box independantly of each other? All I have is one set of Spry CSS rules!
Oh, and the Working with the Validation Text Rule widget file in the Help Resource Center only covers changing the background color - Ugh!

If I understand your question, you want to change the size of the input field that has spry validation?
Spry has nothing to do with it, add a size to the field
<input name="textfield1" type="text" id="textfield1" size="45" />
<input name="textfield2" type="text" id="textfield2" size="25" />

How to change the field size cache/buffer in a query

I query a field from sql developer, the field is cases_history, it resides in a data mart in the global network of our company.
this field is big in size, it stores logs in a sequential way, so field size increases a lot.
when i query it and try a "single record view" the field is cut off and can´t see all of its content..
WHAT I THOUGHT AND IT DOESN´T APPLY
1. maybe in database connections in the system tab, I go to the oracle data mart that i am interested in and change buffer and cache
but it doesn´t work, sql developer keeps showing part of the field
2. maybe it was then the buffer size in sql developer, so I change it, but no luck
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE?
MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE

many thanks in advance for your help,
1.the data type in the remote oracle data mart is VARCHAR2(4000)
2.editing with the pencil cuts off at somepoint (which is the same line and last word)
3.this is the query I write
||select case_history from wfm_case where case_id='xxxx'||
this is to test if I can get a long case_history, which we know it is because it is fully accessible through a web solution to revise cases.
PLS note. I have a tns connection which is of the following type :
(in data sources (odbc) -- system dsn -- oracle odbc driver configuration ...oracle .. buffer size =9000 , cache buffer size =4000 and FORCE SQL_WCHAR SUPPORT is enabled
many thanks,
Jordi.

Changing LOV's table-field size

Hi,
I'm using Jdeveloper 11g.
Knowing that the tag below is used in LOV, Now I need to know how to change the LOV's table-field sizes? (I'm using the model-based LOV, and it's reading the attributes from the view object)
<af:inputListOfValues
model="#{bindings. .listOfValuesModel}"/>
I need to customize the size of LOV's table-field manually, or based on the attribute's UI hint.
To do so, I have written the code below in the backing-bean:
RichInputListOfValues lov = (RichInputListOfValues)launchPopupEvent.getComponent();
FacesCtrlLOVBinding.ListOfValuesModelImpl lovModel = null;
lovModel = (FacesCtrlLOVBinding.ListOfValuesModelImpl) lov.getModel();
TableModel tm = lovModel.getTableModel();
java.util.List<oracle.adf.view.rich.model.ColumnDescriptor> l = lovModel.getItemDescriptors();
But the "ColumnDescriptor" is an abstract class, and I cannot customize the size of the table.
I need to know if it's possible to do it or not?
Thanks in advance,
Shadi Khani

Hi ,
i Know my answer is too late , just today i see the post .
You can change content Size for LOV by going to look up view object --> then to attribute ---> UI hint ---> form UI hint but the size of component in "Dispaly width"

Help in changing the size of a field length.

hello,
i need to change the size of a field in the table PAYR for the field CHECT.
Present size is 13. I want to make it as 20. Is there any OSS notes for this. If yes, Please let me know how to implement that.
Thanks
Senthil

I hope there will not be any note for this.
Please follow the procedure.
Go to the domain and Check the domain where it is used and meke sure that it will effect all the tables where it is embeded.
If you want to change this leangth you have to take the OSS key for that hope you have service.sap login id right.
There you have to give the details of that domain object and go for the generate key.
The domain details you have to provide while generating the key .
these details we will call it as object directry enties.
Take all those things and give while you are genereating the key.
Hope you will do it.

Madan.

Changeing the Database Field Size

Dear All,
In Incomeing Payment i want to increase Databse Field size of Journal Remarks upto 250 character.
I updated from backend but in Incomeing Payment layout means when i move the courser on that field it
shows 50 character.
Means i chaged from bakend but it is not changing from system.
Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem ?

Dear SWAPNIL PATIL,
SAP does not allow to change the table structure and
as a workaround you could add a User Defined Field in Payments > Title to save the remarks.

Change image size on list Field

I have list library which has column of "Person or Group" and selected "Name with (picture)". But i cant change image Size there. its always 62x62. How can i change it?
any idea?
Regards,
Lasantha

How exactly are you wanting to change it? height and width should just be attributes in the element... so.. probably the most simple (but not exactly elegant) way to handle this is to use jQuery.
If you drop the following script into a Content Editor Web Part on your page, it will resize all the profile pics to 100x100. (change the numbers to the size you want):
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$("img[width='62']").each(function()
$(this).attr("width","100");
$(this).attr("height","100");
</script>
Some Caveats:
1) This script resizes ALL images that have a width of 62. So, if you have some other random image on your page that is 62px wide, it will find it and resize as well.
2) I'm references the jQuery library externally which I do not usually recommend, but at least you can drop this script in and it should just work.
Again, not elegant, and I'm sure someone smarter than me can improve on it, but it should at least get you what you need.
Good luck!

Changing the size of a drop down list

Hi Everyone,
Is there anyway to change the size of a drop down list? For example, our customer would like to make the drop down list for the Ship-To field on the logistics tab of the sales orders longer. Currently, they cannot see the full name when they scroll through it. Is this possible? Depending on what Customer Code they enter, the field size appears to change.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Amanda

I am using Tahoma size 10 as well.
Is the drop down size somehow related to the size of the first few records? So, if those are shorter than those at the end, perhaps it doesn't adjust for the size of the bottom records. For example, in our customer's database here's a sampling of what they have entered and the order:
Wal-Mart 6124
Wal-Mart 6125
Wal-Mart 6126
Wal-Mart 7001
Wal-Mart Supercenter 1111
Wal-Mart Supercenter 2094
Wal-Mart Supercenter 3475
The drop down box is large enough to see the Wal-Mart 6124, etc. but not large enough to see the Wal-Mart Supercenter ones at the bottom of the list (keep in mind there are over 100 ship-to's for this Business Parnter). Does it maybe only look at the first fifty records or something like that?
Thanks again,
Amanda

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way". I HATE this!

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to. But NO! Pages keeps changing the font size! I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size! I am getting SO FRUSTRATED! I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter! Can anyone help?

The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".
