Column widths/column headings

I have just started using Mail and I am liking much about it but there crops up a thing or two that I am finding bothersome:
--is there anyway to keep column widths where I place them? I set widths one minute, close the mailbox and when I go back to it it's all expanded in undesirable ways. I don't want to devote so much window space to the attachment column, for example.
--I have archived sent and received mail in new folders/mailboxes. What I'd like to do is only have a "From" column in the incoming boxes and a "To" column in the outgoing boxes. Otherwise I have columns taking up space with just my name or email address; and who needs that? Is this doable? It dos not appear to be.
thanks for listening

Mail has some glitches when it comes to preserve these settings, and I still don't know of a sure fix. Note also that Mail stores these settings globally for all mailboxes, so you can't customize them differently for each one, except for small variations such as the sort order or whether messages should be organized by threads.
If Mail refuses to preserve your changes when a particular mailbox is selected, try doing it with a different mailbox. In particular, if you have more than one account, try with the Inbox aggregate and also with any of the individual account mailboxes in that group.
At any rate, forget about having different mailboxes display different columns. There is simply no way to tell Mail to do this.

Webforms - Wrap Text/Word Wrap for Column Headings

I have some member aliases that are set as my webform's column headings, but they are fairly long. Setting the column width to a custom value that fits most of the text in the heading makes the form very wide and ugly to work with. I don't see any option to Wrap Text or use Word Wrap in the column headings. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am not aware of any option which allows you to wrap the text, it may be possible customizing the [CSS |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_hp_admin/ch12s03.html] though to be honest I am not even sure about that and even if it was possible it would apply to all apps.

REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY (column headings from ALV to EXCEL) Max please help

Hi Max,
If you remember in one of my last post I asked for changing the column headings in ALV display for example from 'Material' to 'Material used'.
I am using
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
 EXPORTING
 I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = repid
 IT_FIELDCAT = field_body
 I_SAVE = g_save
 IS_VARIANT = g_variant
 IT_EVENTS = events
 TABLES
 T_OUTTAB = itab.
And you suggested me the following way....
loop at field_body into field_wa.
case field_wa-fieldname.
when 'Material'.
 field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_s = 'Material used'.
endcase.
modify field_body from field_wa.
endloop.
It is working well. In ALV display the column heading is changed to what I wanted. But the question is when I export the displayed ALV to Excel using ALV functionality, Export->Spreadsheet... I see that I dont get the Column Heading into Excel as it was in the ALV display.
I get in the Excel as 'Material u' or 'Mat. Used'. But when I add this line in the code.....
when 'Material'.
 field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-seltext_s = 'Material used'.
 field_wa-outputlen = 20.
Then I see that I get the complete heading in the Excel. But this way the columns with outputlen 20 are taking much space in ALV display.
Is there any fix for this. May be not mentioning the outputlen but still get the column headings into Excel as it was in ALV display.
Anyone with ideas please respond. Waiting for replies. Thanks

Hi
The labels have a fixed size:
seltext_l is long text: 20 char
seltext_m is medium text: 15 char
seltext_s is short text: 10 char
The text 'Material used' is long 13 char so you should write:
field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_s = 'Mat. used'.
You can try to set the field colwidth_optimize of parameter IT_LAYOUT.
This field should optimize the width of the colunm
So
data layout type SLIS_LAYOUT_ALV.
layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
EXPORTING
I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = repid
IT_LAYOUT = layout
IT_FIELDCAT = field_body
I_SAVE = g_save
IS_VARIANT = g_variant
IT_EVENTS = events
TABLES
T_OUTTAB = itab.
and you can decide which label has to be used:
field_wa-seltext_l = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_m = 'Material used'.
field_wa-seltext_s = 'Mat. used'.
If you want to set the short text
field_wa-ddictxt = 'S'.
...medium
field_wa-ddictxt = 'M'.
...long
field_wa-ddictxt = 'L'.

Table view column headings

Hello All,
 I populated an internal table and passed it to the table view.
1, But here since I was not getting the Heading of each
 column properly i used TableviewColumn attribute of
 htmlb and manually gave the title for each column.
2, Now I'm able to get the proper headings for each of my
 column.
3, But I'm not getting the sort functionality for any of
 the columns.
 But,this functionality came before i used the
 TableviewColumn attribute.
Can anyone help me in getting the SORT
functionality along with my Column Headings.
Regards,
Deepu.K

just for managing column definition you dont need to use iterator, you can use the following method.
page attribute:
col_control_tab TYPE TABLEVIEWCONTROLTAB
col_wa TYPE TABLEVIEWCONTROL
 <%
clear col_wa .
move: 'EMP_NUMBER' to col_wa-columnname ,
'Employee Number' to col_wa-title ,
'LEFT' to col_wa-horizontalalignment ,
'X' to col_wa-edit .
append col_wa to col_control_tab .
clear col_wa .
move: 'EMP_NAME' to col_wa-columnname ,
'Employee Name' to col_wa-title ,
'LEFT' to col_wa-horizontalalignment .
append col_wa to col_control_tab .
clear col_wa .
move: 'COSTCTR' to col_wa-columnname ,
'Cost Center' to col_wa-title ,
'LEFT' to col_wa-horizontalalignment .
append col_wa to col_control_tab .
clear col_wa .
clear col_wa .
move: 'CCTR_DESC' to col_wa-columnname ,
'Description' to col_wa-title ,
'LEFT' to col_wa-horizontalalignment .
append col_wa to col_control_tab .
clear col_wa .
move: 'LOC' to col_wa-columnname ,
'Location' to col_wa-title ,
'LEFT' to col_wa-horizontalalignment .
append col_wa to col_control_tab .
 %>
 <htmlb:tableView id = "tv1"
 allRowsEditable = "TRUE"
 design = "STANDARD"
 columnDefinitions = "<%= col_control_tab %>" selectionMode = "NONE"
 table = "<%= emp_tab %>"

LOV of column names with a report's custom column headings?

I have a list ov values definition that looks like this:
select column_name d, column_name r from all_tab_columns where table_name = 'DATABASE_LIST'
I'd like to list the custom column headings from a report as d, rather than repeating the column_name. How can I do this?

As Anton said, the best thing is to store your custom headings in a table so that you can use the table for your LOV as well as for your report headings.
To use dynamic report headings, you can use the 'PL/SQL function body returning colon-delimited headings' feature on the Report Attributes page.
So, if your report headings are stored in table t that function body can be
declare
l_headings varchar2(4000)
begin
for rec in (select heading from t) loop
l_headings := l_headings||':'||rec.heading;
end loop;
return ltrim(l_heading,':');
end;Hope this helps.

Dynamic crystal report generation - issues with column headings

Hi All, 
I'm trying to generate a crystal report dynamically based on a "result set" data(Query: select REPORT_ID, REPORT_NAME, REPORT_DESC, RPT_FILE_NAME, LOCATION from IRS_REPORT_DETAILS). I'm able to generate the report run time, But the report is without columns heads. I would like to include the column headings as well. 
I searched the API(RAS) and found that there is a 'add(java.lang.String fieldName, java.lang.String headingText) " method present in "ReportObjectController" using which we can add the headings. 
ReportDefController reportDefController = clientDoc.getReportDefController();
ReportObjectController reportObjectController = reportDefController.getReportObjectController();
reportObjectController.add( "{Table.Field}", "FieldName" );
 
I'm facing problems in using this code. When trying to use this function for my fields(Ex: reportObjectController.add( "{ IRS_REPORT_DETAILS.REPORT_ID}", "Report ID" );) it is giving me the following error: "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKGroupException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213310 Error code name:fieldNotFound" 
The following is my dynamic crystal report generation code: 
public ReportClientDocument execute(String repName, String query) {
 ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = null;
 try {
 boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
 boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
 // Add a table based on the given Resultset to the report.
 dbConnResultSet mySampleResultSet = new dbConnResultSet();
 //mySampleResultSet.execute(query);
 boReportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().addDataSource(
 mySampleResultSet.execute(query));
 IReportSource test = boReportClientDocument.getReportSource();
 // Access all the database fields
 DatabaseController databaseController = boReportClientDocument
 .getDatabaseController();
 IDatabase database = databaseController.getDatabase();
 Tables tables = database.getTables();
 ITable table = (Table) tables.getTable(0);
 int NO_OF_FIELDS = table.getDataFields().size();
 int LEFT_POSITION = 200;
 // Add all the database fields to the report document
 for (int i = 0; i < NO_OF_FIELDS; i++) {
 IField field = table.getDataFields().getField(i);
 FieldObject fieldObject = new FieldObject();
 fieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
 fieldObject.setDataSource(field.getFormulaForm());
 IReportObject rep = (IReportObject) fieldObject;
 IObjectFormat objformat = rep.getFormat();
 objformat.setEnableCanGrow(true);
 objformat.setHorizontalAlignment(Alignment.from_int(1));
 rep.setFormat(objformat);
 rep.setLeft(LEFT_POSITION);
 rep.setWidth(1000);
 LEFT_POSITION = LEFT_POSITION + 1000 + 50;
 ISection section = boReportClientDocument
 .getReportDefController().getReportDefinition()
 .getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0);
 //***************** Data being added to the report here, But headings are not added*****************
 boReportClientDocument.getReportDefController()
 .getReportObjectController().add(rep, section, i);
 boReportClientDocument.createReport();
 /*Some report saving code is present down*/
 } catch (ReportSDKException ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 } catch (Exception ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 return boReportClientDocument;
 
appreciate your help.

IField field = table.getDataFields().getField(i);
Here you are getting the first field in the array. This may not be the field you want to add since we aren't sure how the arrays are ordered when retrieving fields from the report. It is better to retrieve the fields with the findObjectByName method, thus ensuring you are retrieving the field you want to add to your heading.

The heading are in the table pt_fcat - you don't seem to be passing that in form....

Saying that the extract pof code does not show where you are calling form it_out_alv_fieldcat_before ...which populates the headings...

Hi Timothy,
The current approach of your code doesnt include a header to your file.
Header is used add information about the code page and the byte sequence if the internal table was created through a code page conversion using gui_convert_codepage and it is of type hexadecimal with a length of at most 1023 bytes.
1)Have a separate internal table for your structure and pass this internal table data to FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.
2)Have a second internal table which holds your data and use FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' with Importing parameter APPEND as 'X' with the same FILENAME which you used in first GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.
Thanks,

How to haveour own titles/captions in selection screen & in column headings

we have SAP B1 2005 A, MS SQL 2005
though i am new to MSSQL/T-SQL programming, purely through lot of trials & errors i have learnt & managed to develop many reports/queries !
but, i am facing some problems : how to have our own captions/title for the options in selection screen & aso in reports/queries column headings.
e.g. :
for Customer Aging analysis, i would like to accept a set of 3 parameters (aging days) from the user. where the user may enter the values 30, 60 & 90 OR any other values.
i have the following codes for this purpose (considering my question's (over) size, only small portions of my program are given below)
declare @mdue1 int,
 @mdue2 int,
 @mdue3 int
set @mdue1 = [%1]
set @mdue2 = [%2]
set @mdue3 = [%3]
but, in the selection screen, the system displays "%1 Debit Amount Greater than" as the caption & 0.00 as the default value. the same is the case for the other two parameters [%2] & [%3] also.
i tried defining the variable @mdue1 as smallint & also tinyint, but the result is the same.
how to have our own captions/title for the options in selection screen instead of the ones displayed by t-sql based on our SELECT statement.
how to have our own column headings, dynamically defined/coined using variables instead of hard coded columns headings (within quotes).
e.g. in the select statement, instead of defining a column as '<= 30 Days' = T0.due_1
i would like to get the number of days from the user, who may enter 30 or 40 or whatever.
i would like to display the value that the user entered in the column heading using a variable say @mcol1
declare @mcol1 varchar(10)
set @mcol1 = '<= 'convert(varchar(10), @mdue1)' Days'
SELECT T0.CardCode,@mcol1 = T0.due_1 from #CustAging T0
but, this ends up in error.
i have already searched the net for ebooks, articles, etc. for a solution to this problem, but till now, i could not find any addressing these problems.
i have just registered in this forum with a hope to get a solution. thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Raghu Iyer
Place : Vapi, Gujarat, India

thanks a lot, lstvan.
i think, it i a good "trick" worth trying out.
well, i will now mark this question as answered, but still, if anyone has a direct solution "problem", please do share with us.
i am able to write queries (in fact, full fledged programs) in T-SQL & getting the desired output and for such a trivial thing i do not want to go for an add-on SDK module. but, considering the limitations of T-SQL and the complex requirements of real business world, i think, we have to go the .net way only.
regarding add-ons, i heard that add-ons will slow down SAP B1. is it true ?
Thanks & Regards,

ALV download to EXCEL with column headings etc.

Getting data from a grid to EXCEL can be done in "List" mode vis system==>save etc but it's not particularly user friendly and in any case if you are displaying a nice ALV why should the user have to switch into LIST mode anyway.
Anyway here's a decent way to do it and it gives great formatted column headings etc etc.
1) in the ON_TOOLBAR method add this code
method ON_TOOLBAR.
type-pools icon.
CLEAR ls_toolbar.
MOVE 0 TO ls_toolbar-butn_type.
 MOVE 'EXCEL' TO ls_toolbar-function.
 MOVE space TO ls_toolbar-disabled.
 MOVE icon_xxl TO ls_toolbar-icon.
 MOVE 'Excel' TO ls_toolbar-quickinfo.
 MOVE 'EXCEL' TO ls_toolbar-text.
 APPEND ls_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
2) In the ON_USER_COMMAND method add the following
(if you have a class defined with SE24 you don't need the commented code).
method ON_USER_COMMAND.
 FOR EVENT before_user_command OF cl_gui_alv_grid
 IMPORTING
 e_ucomm
 sender.
CASE e_ucomm.
 ....... other toolbar funcs if you have any
 WHEN 'EXCEL'.
 CALL METHOD me->download_to_excel.
 ENDCASE.
endmethod.
3) code this method to download to EXCEL
method DOWNLOAD_TO_EXCEL.

You get nice column headings etc and decently formatted EXCEL spreadsheet.
For Office 2007 I think you need to apply a SAP note but it certainly works with OFFICE 2003 which is what we are still using.

Getting data from a grid to EXCEL can be done in "List" mode vis system==>save etc but it's not particularly user friendly and in any case if you are displaying a nice ALV why should the user have to switch into LIST mode anyway.
Anyway here's a decent way to do it and it gives great formatted column headings etc etc.
1) in the ON_TOOLBAR method add this code
method ON_TOOLBAR.
type-pools icon.
CLEAR ls_toolbar.
MOVE 0 TO ls_toolbar-butn_type.
 MOVE 'EXCEL' TO ls_toolbar-function.
 MOVE space TO ls_toolbar-disabled.
 MOVE icon_xxl TO ls_toolbar-icon.
 MOVE 'Excel' TO ls_toolbar-quickinfo.
 MOVE 'EXCEL' TO ls_toolbar-text.
 APPEND ls_toolbar TO e_object->mt_toolbar.
2) In the ON_USER_COMMAND method add the following
(if you have a class defined with SE24 you don't need the commented code).
method ON_USER_COMMAND.
 FOR EVENT before_user_command OF cl_gui_alv_grid
 IMPORTING
 e_ucomm
 sender.
CASE e_ucomm.
 ....... other toolbar funcs if you have any
 WHEN 'EXCEL'.
 CALL METHOD me->download_to_excel.
 ENDCASE.
endmethod.
3) code this method to download to EXCEL
method DOWNLOAD_TO_EXCEL.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
 <fs0> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
 <fs1> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
 ASSIGN g_outtab1->* TO <fs0>.
 ASSIGN g_fldcat1->* TO <fs1>.
 CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_TRANSFER_TO_KKBLO'
 EXPORTING
 it_fieldcat_lvc = <fs1>
 is_layout_lvc = m_cl_variant->ms_layout
 is_tech_complete = ' '
 IMPORTING
 es_layout_kkblo = ls_layout
 et_fieldcat_kkblo = lt_fieldcat.
 LOOP AT lt_fieldcat INTO lt_fieldcat_wa.
 CLEAR lt_fieldcat_wa-tech_complete.
 IF lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname IS INITIAL.
 lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname = '1'.
 MODIFY lt_fieldcat FROM lt_fieldcat_wa.
 ENDIF.
 l_tabname = lt_fieldcat_wa-tabname.
 ENDLOOP.
 CALL FUNCTION 'ALV_XXL_CALL'
 EXPORTING
 i_tabname = l_tabname
 is_layout = ls_layout
 it_fieldcat = lt_fieldcat
 i_title = sy-title
 TABLES
 it_outtab = <fs0>
 EXCEPTIONS
 fatal_error = 1
 no_display_possible = 2
 OTHERS = 3.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE 'S' NUMBER sy-msgno
 WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
 ENDIF.

How to create a form with two column headings

I have a business request to create a data form to handle multi year data by month. This will require creating a form with two column headings - with the first row be Year and second row be month, and data entry will begin in the third row and down.
I can do multiple row headings in the layout design, but somehow can not get it to work for multiple column headings.
Thanks in advance

If you're in the "Layout" tab, simply pull the "Years" dimension and the "Period" dimension into the Column section. Planning can be a little picky about where you "drop" the dimension as you're dragging and dropping it. Drop it in the cell directly under the letter name of the column. Other than that, there's not much to it.
Hopefully this helped,

How do I restore column headings in Response table after accidently deleting them? Undo doesn't work.

How do I restore column headings in Response table after accidently deleting them? Undo doesn't work (only seems to go back one level). I also have so many headings I won't be able to type them in manually!

With the help of information from user, ptressel, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032154#answer-673322 a post here about the existence of sessionstore.js when version 33 was released], I was able to easily recover my tabs and tab groups as follows:
# close Firefox and, perhaps, allow a few seconds (30s?) for any final closing of files;
# check to see if you have a sessionstore.js file in your profile folder, named like the one I documented in my original post above;
# if it is not timestamped prior to the discovery of your problem, open the sessionstore-backups folder;
# check if the recovery.js file is suitably timestamped and, if not, the recovery.bak.
# At this point, you are likely to find that none of them are prior to your problem occuring. If so, open your backups of this folder and go through steps 2-4 to find a file prior to your problem occuring.
# When you find a file, copy it to the root of your current profile folder and name it, "sessionstore.js"
# Open Firefox. Mine opened up as desired.
This is a Windows solution. Sorry I can't comment on other platforms, but I'd bet that as this is just a file copy and renaming, it is likely the same.
For Windows users, you may find you need to sign out and login as an administrator in order to access the backups. You need not logoff your standard account, but do have Firefox closed as described above.
Hope that helps.

How to get the Text variables in the Columns Headings

Hi,
     My requirement is I need to get data for weekly wise and for the last 10 weeks also. For this purpose I used the restricted KF based on the variables (customer exit) and offset. Also used the text variable for displaying from and to days in the column headings. I am getting the right text for the first column only. But the text offset is not considering.
Ex 07/04/2007 to 07/10/2007      06/27/2007 to 07/03/2007 like that.
I used the two text variables one for from data and other for to date using the customer exit. I am getting the same text as of the first column for the subsequent columns also. Please help me for getting the right text in the columns.
Thanks,
visu

Hello ,
           The quite simple way is to create a text variable with replacement path , as it replaces the value of customer exit used in the report.
create two text variables
First variable:
1 Replace variable with -
external characteristic key value
For interval use ---from value
2.Secod text variable
Replace variable with -
external characteristic key value
For interval use ---To value
offset start -0000 offset length0000
use these variables in the column headings.
hope it is clear,
assign points if useful

Problem with black Genius bar and column headings

I have just installed the latest version of iTunes and when in Grid view all the column headings have a black background and also the Genius sidebar has a black background.
I have tried to create a new iTunes library and they are still black.
I have installed and uninstalled iTunes - no help.
I've checked my display settings and they are 32 bit color.

To go back, reinstall from your last Lion or Snow Leopard backup.
