Code editor: need spaces instead of tab characters for indentation

I need to have spaces inserted into my code for indentation instead of tabs. "Use tab character" is unchecked under tools|preferences|code editor|code style|edit but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks, M C

But would this cause a tab to be translated as one space or would it still be a tab character? I think it will still be a tab character, which is a problem. I know MS Dev Studio can be set to translate tabs to spaces on the fly so if you hit a tab the cursor jumps 4 spaces and those spaces are spaces, not a tab. Thanks for the reply.

How to insert tab characters for indenting in MathScript Code

Since pressing the Tab key throws one out of Text Mode, when editing a MathScript Node, is there some other way to introduce a tab. Tabs are extremely handy for improving readability of nested loops and inserting the equivalent number of spaces is time-consuming .

Can you edit the script in the MathScript window (Tools » MathScript Window...)? The tab button works like that from there.

ALV Report displays space instead of '0.00' for qty field. why?

Hello friends,
I am facing a problem to display 0 value for the field
field - ZZQTY (Predefined Type at Domain level)
QUAN 21,2
In the program I am clearing the field and I can see its value as 0.00 while debugging.
As soon as field ZZQTY is displayed on ALV, it becomes blank (Space).
My requirement is to display '0.00' on ALV report.
What should I do?

Inconsistency in the context menu of Code Editor tabs

Hi,
This is something I ran in to a couple of times since I migrated to jdev 9.0.4.12.80, therefore I felt the need to post it here.
Whenever I right-click on a code editor tab to close a source file, which is NOT the currently active file, the corresponding file is closed as expected. The same holds for most options. But when I select 'Run in sql*plus' (in case of a SQL file) or 'Source Control', jdev will use the currently active source file instead of the file corresponding to the tab that I clicked on. It is quite confusing when another file is processed than the file which tab I selected.
I hope this is clear enough and that it can/will be fixed in future releases.
Regards,
Patrick.

Hi Patrick,
This sounds like a weirdness (read: bug) in the document bar in 9.0.3 and 9.0.4. It seems that when support for these menu items was added to the document bar, whoever implemented it forgot to pass the correct context to commands when they're invoked from the docbar. So the commands behave just as they would if you invoke them from a main menu - i.e. the file they process is based on the currently focussed dockable.
In 10g 9.0.5, the document bar is no more, so this bug is sort of fixed.
Thanks,
Brian

The Cannot Setup Sync message indicates that you don't have internet access. Check that you can get your phone online (3g or wifi) and then try to connect again.

Enter key instead of TAB key

Hi folks,
I'd like to make the ENTER key behave the same way as the TAB key in
the system I'm developing. I thought I would be able to do it by setting
the ENTER as a function key (using Window.SetAsFunctionKey), and
then after detecting an ENTER key press, request focus on the current
fieldwidget's 'NextTabField'. However, this attribute defaults to NIL unless
you override the default TAB sequence. And I don't really fancy setting
the Next and Prev TabField for every onscreen field.
Anyone done this before using a simpler method?
By the way, I don't really want to get into a long thread about whether it is
good practice to bypass Windows (TM) standards or not. We require
fast data entry, and keyboard entry is essential for that.

Duncan,
The application we are building will replace legacy application and had similar
requirements to accommodate the current users. We solved this problem by creating a
special frame, appropriately named as the "Terminal Frame". It is distributed as
part of the Scaffolds framework.
The Terminal frame implements ENTER instead of TAB key. As you know the tabbing
order in a terminal frame (top to bottom, left to right) is different than windows
tabbing order (left to right, top to bottom). The Terminal frame solves the tabbing
problem by constructing a "field traverse list" which includes all the fields in a
window including nested views ordered according to their X,Y co-ordinates. It is a
recursive method works on the same lines as described by Sakharov, Nickolay in
earlier mail. The method also sets the NextTabField, PrevTabField references for
each field in the traverse list.
This framework is working very well for us. In a terminal frame world, you still
have some user training issues as some of the fields (OutlineField, DropList,
ArrayField, CheckBoxe etc.) behave differently for ENTER and TAB keys. But these
are minimal compared to a complete change in style.
Hope this is helpful.
Good Luck,
Shirish

Thanks for your reply (even though it doesn't help me!).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating we abandon the TAB key
functionality in favour of the ENTER key. I just want to ADD the ENTER
key as a navigational aid for our 'legacy' users (and we have many). If it
is done right, there should be no need to tell the user about it. Their
transition to the new product would be virtually painless.
Since I posted my original question I've realised that the cost of
implementation is actually fairly low. And this is why. I have just
discovered that the default tab order defined by Forte (left to right, top to
bottom) is essentially useless for most of the windows we will be creating.
Therefore, we will need to override it by explicitly setting the
"NextTabField" and "PrevTabField" attributes of our input fields in virtually
every window. As I am writing the framework for our new product, I will
have to implement the facility to do this in the framework itself. And if we
have our tab order defined, then adding the ENTER key functionality is
minimal extra effort (see my original post). In fact, if I implement it in my
"CoreWindow" (the root of my windows framework inheritence tree), then
no-one will ever have to deal with it again.
The TAB key is not even much of a windows data-entry standard. Many
of our customers have defined secondary systems using Microsoft
Access, and it uses the ENTER key (along with the TAB key) to move
from field to field. Will these customers not complain that they cannot
use the ENTER key to move between fields if we don't implement it?
As we do not have the resources to completely rewrite our existing
COBOL system (over 2 million lines of code) in one go. We will be rolling
out the new system module by module. This means that a lot of our users
will be switching between the new windows interface and the text-based
unix telnet sessions. When I switch back and forth between windows
editors and 'vi' on the unix host, I experience first-hand how mixed
navigational facilities can hamper productivity!
Anyway, I was just hoping there might be a little setting somewhere in
Forte to switch this on, but as no-one has pointed it out, it seems unlikely.
Thanks again for your input, lively discussion is always welcome.

Need help: GUI_DOWNLOAD and tab-separated in between fields.

hello everyone,
this is the layout of the interface that i created:
         sy-title
total records processed: XX
total records failed: XX
summary of the error
pernr<tab>name<tab>error message<tab>otherfieldshere
i wanted the error log to be saved locally thus, i have to use GUI_DOWNLOAD.
ok, here's the current parameters i supplied with my gui_download:
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
       EXPORTING
            filename                    = v_file_string
            filetype                      = 'ASC'
            write_field_separator   = 'X'
       TABLES
            data_tab                    = i_error_log
(exceptions not displayed)
the problem that i have is that, there is a difference between the error logs displayed after the execution and the error logs saved in my local directory.
i did find a way to resolve this BUT, i still need to refine it. also, the spaces between the fields seems not tab delimited, but separated by space.
to explain further here's the current error log that i have downloaded:
10000001<tab>10/23/2006<tab>01<tab>P<tab>11<tab>01
the header:
         sy-title
total records processed: XX
total records failed: XX
summary of the error
is not included in the downloaded errorlog file.
i added some modification of my report to include it because, i want to to look exactly the same as of the errorlog generated/displyed after the execution.
the result looks as it is what i've expected BUT,
when i checked the spaces in between fields...
it is all separated by spaces... not tab.
here is the actual error log that i have obtained:
         sy-title
total records processed: XX
total records failed: XX
summary of the error
pernr<space><space><space>name<space><space><space><space><space><space>error message<space><space>otherfieldshere
What i wanted to resolve is that, i want the error log to be tab delimited and not separated by space.
is this possible? if it is, any suggestion will truly be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check your flat file i think it they have used the Three spaces instead of using a SINGLE TAB. between the fields.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandralekha.

# is appearing instead of Japanese characters.

Hi All,
While loading data which comprises of japanese characters, '#' values are appearing in the infocube(infoprovider) instead of japanese characters in the production system.When I load the same data in developmennt system I can see the japanese characters.Is there any setting that we need to make in production system so that we can see japanese characters instead of #.If not then please suggest any other method.
Thanks,
Ishdeep.

Yogesh,
Actually the thing is that we dont have any option of code page setting during secong level loading i.e.in our case we have 2 ODS and 2 masters as base tables. On these tables we had a view and above view we have Infocube (2nd level loads) and on infocube we are reporting. If you know any code page setting or any other setting for this please let me know.

Using TLF as basis for code editor?

Hi,
I want to develop a editor, which can be used as code editor(not fullscreen, embedded in HTML view) - that means it shall support syntax highlighting, code completion (simulated with other Flex controls) during the maintenance of the code(tokens), you name it. It would also be important to have the possibilty to add (invisible) metadata (like IDs) to the tokens, since there shall be an automatic mapping (user enters tokens and on the fly they are mapped to internal IDs).
Performance, accessiblity and other related issues (RightToLeft) are also quite important. Undo/Redo of course also .
Do you think TLF would be of help here or was it designed for another purpose? Another alternative would be the use of the TextArea control (supports HTML).
Thanks for your feedback!

ok, thanks for your explainations.
I've forgotten to describe one further requirement. For some usecases, the user shall only enter coding/tokens in a template.
Example:
IF <userInput>
THEN <userInput>
ELSE <userinput>
So, the user shall not be able to delete the template structure (IF clause in this example, "ReadOnly Area").
I guess also you get low level events (for example, the user hovers the mouse over a token, so that you can provide a tooltip, etc.)?
There is the need for prototyping, no question. But from your gutfeeling, would you prefer TLF instead of using the standard TextArea control to implement such a code editor?
I know the TextArea control a little...I think its strength are the (memory) footprint, using of full(?) HTML...but I think using this control results not in a clean architecture because there would be the need to rely hevily on html/javascript (eg. using <A> tag to mask ID ) etc.
In contradiction, TLF can directly interpret XML if I've understood the concept correctly.

Enhancement Suggestion - Jdeveloper Code Editor

Hello,
I would like to make an enhancements suggestion for the JDeveloper code editor. I find the "history" tab of the source editor extremely useful when I'm trying new things and not sure if they would work. This tab helps me revert changes to a last known version. However, I see myself having to identify the previous correct version by date and time, which is kind of dicey. I do see there is also a description column, however, I'm not able to edit the description with a meaningful message that would help identify as last know good version quickly. Hence, my suggestion is that the history tab of the code editor allow the user to add tags / comments against each version for quick identification.
Hope the Oracle development is listening, and you'll have to excuse me for posting if this forum is the wrong place to make suggestion ( i didn't quite find any feedback feature on the Jdeveloper product page).
regards,
Rehan Yusuf

No problem Timo.
I don't think it's worth opening an SR for this. It looks like sub-pixel anti-aliasing isn't supported in the JDeveloper Code Editor, which is a shame, because that's the place where it's most needed.

Is there a way to restrict the cursor at the end of a line in the source code editor??

In the source code editor, the cursor will always follow where I click. But I wanna restrict it at the end of a line, just like other text editors do. Is there a option or sth? I can't put up with it any longer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello morphe!
The source editor in the LabWindows/CVI environment is constructed under the concept of virtual space.
At the moment, in the current version of LabWindows/CVI, this is the default behavior, which cannot be changed from the editor preferences dialogs.

BUG: EA 2.1 code editor: completion insight doesn't work in opened files

I just migrated from SQLDEV 1.5.5 to EA 2.1. It's nice that I colud find so many of my suggestions implemented in this new version. THANKX :-)
code editor:
When I'm working in SQL Worksheet the "completion insight" feature is working well, but when I try to use it in an opened file, it doesn't work.
Is there a special preference to turn on for use with files?
Edited by: @chris on 12.11.2009 10:57

Correct it did work in 1.5. on .sql files, when connected, so I have updated the ER to bug. We also need to expand this to support PL/SQL files.

Preferences: Code Editor: Printing: Add File Path and Date to Print Header?

Is there a way to add file full path and date to the print file header for a SQL Worksheet when printing from the Code Editor? So, for example, if my SQL worksheet is called MySQL.sql and is saved to C:\Myfiles\SQL_Code\, I'd like to print the full path 'C:\Myfiles\SQL_Code\MySQL.sql' and today's date as part of the print header along with the page numbers at the top of the code. I see a Java preview in the Preferences: Code Editor: Printing window that mentions a "Today" date but I don't know Java and that is an uneditable preview. I have checked the "Print File Header" check box. Is the file header definition stored somewhere in a configuration file and/or is there a way to modify/customize the default file header?
I am a new user to SQL Nav. version 3.2.20.09 Build-MAIN 09.87. I could do this in SQL Navigator but can't figure it out in SQLDeveloper. Thank you.

HI
First of all,
Unless otherwise you selected some option like page break after/before - both body and header/footer will print on same page in report, so in pdf as well.
If you have difference on report and PDF that you should look into your setup.
If you want more help, please be particular on your issue
