Characters in data field

Hi,
Is it possible to load characters in datafield. I want to load names in the data field and while generating report for members, i should be able to get names for these members.

The attributes wouldn't be tied directly to the data, but rather to another dimension. So I don't see how that helps you.
In the case of a Yes/No type field value, you could express Y as 1 in Essbase and No as 0 or #missing. Or assign specific numeric values to key words. You would then need your interface to the data to interpret the numeric values back into their string equivalents. Obviously aggregation would not make any sense in the latter scenario.
More likely, your best bet is to consider a text mining solution. I would guess that discussion belongs in a different forum.
Cheers,
Bruce

  • Unicode Characters in Data Field

    Hi,
    The client has requested us to print the chinese characters in the Data field.
    We are able to add chinese text to the designer, but when we map the data field to the chinese output we are unable to capture the chinese data and the output is showing some Junk characters while opening in PDF (PDF has all chinese font installed).
    Tried all the possible chinese available including the Arial Unicode fonts in Presentment Target.
    Has any body faced the issue with language or unicode while capturing the data??
    Since this is issue is critical..Prompt solution is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Rick,
    Here is the solution...
    Since all desktops which were used normally has US installed as their base language.
    So all data that you input from your keyboard or paste from others are English and they are single byte. So you don't face problem.
    But since many of the east Asian languages are double byte and if your desktop doesn't have Chinese language installed as your regional language.. you will not be able to see the Chinese characters whey they are input from your keyboard or paste it from other.
    So you need to have Chinese language installed as one of your regional language.
    It can be done this way...
    Go to Control Panel --> Regional Language and options --> Languages (TAB) --> check the check boxes..
    You need to have your operating system CD to install the East Asian languages.
    Hope this solve your problem...
    Please get back to me if you still have problem.
    Thanks

  • Problem setting maximum characters for a date field.

    Good morning all. I am trying to ensure that a date field on the form I am working on validates if the entry is not more than 8 digits, and if it is more, it should display a message, and return the focus back to the field until it is correct. Below is the code I wrote but it is not working:
      if(DATE1.length>"8"){
        xfa.host.messageBox(Enter eight digits for the date in the format YYYYMMDD or use the drop down calendar.);
    xfa.host.setFocus("form1.Page1.DATE1");
    I do not know why it is not working, i need help. I have this code on the exit event.
    Thanks

    Well you are missing the " around the text in your messagebox but even then it doesn't seem to work. I am not a javascript expert so am not sure why but it works in formcalc like this:
    if(Len($) > 8) then
        xfa.host.messageBox("Enter eight digits for the date in the format YYYYMMDD or use the drop down calendar.")
        xfa.host.setFocus("$")
    endif

  • Date Field doesn't show time

    For some reason my Report shortens the date field to 9 characters. I am not able to change that value in the Property Pallette. Because of this shortening (or for some other reason) the field displays only the date portion of the field. However the field contains time portion as well, which I need to display. How do include the time portion?
    Thank you.

    Check the field's length and type in the data model to make sure it comes properly from the DB.If it is Date type, try selecting different format mask in the field's propertis on the layout model. If the format includes time, make sure there is enough space in the field to display it.

  • Date Field validation in APEX 4.0

    Hi,
    I am using APEX 4.0 for developing my application. I have an SEARCH region in which I have an DATE item with format MM/DD/YYYY. When I enter the date with any junk characters like 'XXXXXXX' then it throws me an validation as "Invalid Date Format" message both in Notification and Inline (Below date Item). This is an APEX 4.0 inbuilt validation for date field and its not the validation created by me in that page explicitly.
    My Issue is that I do not want to Display the validation message inline to the field and I need the message only in Notification. What setting I need to do in Date Item to remove the inline validation message form that field.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    In your validation process, under the error message section
    (i.e) in the error message display location: set inline in notification give this,
    so that the notification will be fired only in message, not inline to the field.

  • Update Rule routine to get last 4 characters of a field

    I am aware I can do this using a formula.  However, can someone assist in writing the routine which gets the last four characters of a field.  The field is part of the COMM_STRUCTURE? Thanks

    Hi,
    For determining the length of the field, you have to use first the statement DESCRIBE so you get the figure into a variable (I do not have a SAP system right now, so errors can occur in the following):
    <b>data length type i.
    describe comm_structure-field length into length.
    length = length - 4.
    result = comm_structure-field+(length)(4).</b>
    However, please shift your field is RIGHT JUSTIFIED earlier than using these statements. Please consider the instruction SHIFT. That will insure you that you get the right characters.
    Regards

  • Adf-Struts/JSP/BC4J- and setting date fields from jsp

    Hi,
    I'm working with the new ADF Frameworks (JDev 9.0.5.1) and ran into some questions regarding exception handling using BC4J, Struts and JSPs.
    I have a DATE column in database and an entity and VO with a datefield with type oracle.jbo.domain.Date.
    My JSP shows a textfield and the user should enter a valid date. Everything fine, until date is of wrong format or contains illegal characters...
    Problem:
    ADF tries to do a setAttribute on the datefield in VO row which expects a parameter with type oracle.jbo.domain.Date. When the user entered e.g. "NiceWeather" as date, I get an IIlegalArgumentException while converting to the correct Date format. This exception isn't thrown by bc4j as AttrValException and therefore my JSP renders a global error instead of a message directly behind the date field.
    I tried to validate the datefield in my DataForm and in my Action in the validateModelUpdates() method, but with no fitting solution.
    Any ideas how to validate a datefield with adf/struts/jsp/bc4j?
    Thanks for your help!
    Torsten.

    Torsen - In the first instance I'd recommed that you try and handle it declaritively using the Struts Validator Framework . See http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/howtos/10g/StrutsValidator/struts_validator_howto.html
    There is a section in there on how to use the validator with ADF databound pages and you can check the format the user enters via generated JavaScript.
    Also check out the matching sample project:
    http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/jdev/10g/ADFandStrutsValidator.zip - this has a data field check on it as well

    Hi there,
    i'm pretty new so I am not that clear with the syntax.
    I have a field called part id which displays records of the following;
    HSV-123456
    HSV-1234567
    HSV-123456789
    I wish to remove the HSV- at the start of the part id. I have used the right function however because some of the parts are longer than others I couldn't do it this way. Is there syntax which removes the first 4 characters of a string or data field?
    pls help.

  • How to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field

    HI All
    i need to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field. How can i do that ?
    thanks in advance!!!

    Hi,
    You can try the following things:
    1. Use a datatype STRING and check it will work.
    2. In se11 transaction goto datatype and search for char* in data elements.
    You will find predefined data types ,you can make use of it.
    For eg. char2000,char3000,char4000 etc.
    Hope this will help.

  • Email Notification with date field

    But i can see the letral date field displayed in email as 2010:03:09:00:00:00:000

    HI John,
    Date field in MDM is 18 characters long and has date as well as time component to it.
    You can use assignment to trim this and transfer its value to another field and make that field as DF,so that it is displayed in the mail as date.
    Otherwise you can also create a calculated field for this purpose.
    Please go through this very useful link to create expressions/validations with dates:

  • Large memo meta-data field not fully indexed

    Hi all,
    Another day, another UCM question. Hopefully the answers given to my questions will help people facing the same issues.
    We created a custom meta-data field of type memo. Looking into the database, the following columns were created:
    colmeta.xcustom1 varchar2(2000)
    docmeta.xcustom1 varchar2(2000)
    idctext1.xcustom1 varchar2(2000)
    idctext2.xcustom1 varchar2(2000)
    indexerstate.xcustom1 varchar2(2000)
    We want specific meta-data field to hold 5000 characters and to have its content retrievable by the full text search feature. We've read about the MinMemoFieldSize and MemoFieldSize configuration variables, but reasoned that they shouldn't be used since the size requirement is only for this specific field.
    So we've updated the database schema manually (can't seem to find another way to do this) by sending these instructions:
    alter table colmeta modify xcustom1 varchar2(5000)
    alter table docmeta modify xcustom1 varchar2(5000)
    Then restarted the UCM server and performed a full collection index rebuild.
    These updates work in that new content can be created with a meta-data value of up to 5000 characters (it would give an error before). However, it seems that the whole field value is not being indexed: doing a full-text search on a word in the first 2000 field characters finds the content, but doing a full-text search on a word in the last 3000 field characters doesn't.
    We've tried manually extending the size of the idctext1, idctext2 and indexerstate columns, but it doesn't seem to have any impact.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks again.

  • Month in date field on notes and Mail is garbled

    iCloud does not host/sync email from external providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc.  It only provides iCloud email.
    If your notes don't appear on icloud.com, open the Notes app, tap Accounts, then be sure you are creating the notes in the iCloud account.  Notes created in other accounts (On My iPhone, Gmail, etc.) will not sync with iCloud.  If you want to get these notes in iCloud, you'll have to copy/paste the text of each one into new notes created in the iCloud account.
