Commas in List Data

I have a form that uploads a CSV file and puts it into a DB.
I am trying to make it as "idiot-proof" as I can with as little
responsibility on the enduser as possible to provide "proper
format" data. Is there a way to go about escaping certain commas in
the text (and distinguishng them from the true delimiter)? I
understand that putting the value in quotes works, but that again
relies on the enduser doing so. Is there a way to do this upon
upload or does the end user have no choice but to clean the file up
first.
TIA

In short: no. How can CF determine whether a comma is a
delimiter or
whetehr it's content? How would you expect that to work?

"Garbage in: garbage out". Don't try to process something
that is not
appropriate for the task. Upload the file, parse it,
validating it as
proper CSV data (there's no official spec, but this RFC is
useful,
http://rfc.net/rfc4180.html,
and you can point your client to it). If the
file validates: process it. If it doesn't, reject it.

Count the number of elements in comma seperated list of values

Hello Friends,
I have a string with comma seperated list of values say
String v = 34343,erere,ererere,sdfsdfsdfs,4454,5454,dsfsdfsfsd,fsdfsdfsdfs,dfdsfsdfsdfs,sdsfdsf,ererdsdsd45454,fsdfsdfs
Want to count how many elements are existing in this string .
Thanks/Kumar

Hi, Kumar,
REGEXP_COUNT, which Hoek used, is handy, but it only works in Oracle 11. Which version of Oracle are you using?
In any version of Oracle, you can count the commas by seeing how much the string shrinks when you remove them.
LENGTH (str) + 1 - LENGTH (REPLACE (str, ',')) Can str have multiple commas in a row? What if there's nothing between consecutive commas, or nothing by whitespace? Can str begin or end with a comma? Can str consist of nothing but commas? Depending on your answers, you may have to change things. You might want
REGEXP_COUNT ( str
, '[^,]+'
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}

Use PL/SQL Table values as a comma delimited list in a in (...) clause

Hi,
One my procedure's parameters is a PL/SQL table of id's (NUMBER) that the GUI sends it, based on the user's selections.
Now, I want to use the table's values in my select's where clause to return only the correct records.
However,
select ......
from ....
where id in (i_array_ids)
doesn't work of course, and my attempts of transfering the ids to a comma delimited list of numbers (as opposed to a lenghty varchar2 string) that could work between the ( ) have all failed.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to custom action for context menu in "Site Content and Structure" in SharePoint 2010.
In "SiteManager.aspx", SharePoint use MenuItemTemplate class which represent a control that creates an item in a drop-down menu.
For example, to create or delete the ECB menu for a list item in
"Site Content and Structure", we can follow the steps below:
To add the “My Like” menu, we can add the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemLike"
runat="server"
Text="My Like"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickNavigateUrl="https://www.google.com.hk/"
/>
To remove the “Delete” menu, we can comment the code below:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
UseShortId=false
id="OLListItemDelete"
runat="server"
Text="<%$Resources:cms,SmtDelete%>"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/DelItem.gif"
ClientOnClickScript="%SmtObjectDeleteScript%"
/>
The result is as below:
More information:
MenuItemTemplate Class (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)
MenuItemTemplate.ClientOnClickScript property (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls)

PowerPivot report data refresh error Data source as SharePoint list Data Feed

Hi All,
I am facing a problem on auto refresh, the report data source is SharePoint list Data Feed, I saved it my PC desktop when I set up auto fresh it fails then I moved the SharePoint list data feed "atomsvc" file to A SharePoint Data feed library then connected
to report started a manual refresh it was success, after next schedules it failed.
Error massage:
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbConnection interface was being used:
The network path was not found. ;The network path was not found. The network path was not found. .
A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of '82f49f39-45aa-4d61-a15c-90ebbc5656d',

Thank you very much !

If you are using Claims Auth then this is a known limitation. Auto refresh only works under Classic Auth.
I trust that answers your question...

How to get distinct values in a comma separated list of email addresses?

Hi Friends,
I have a cursor which fetches email address along with some other columns. More than one record can have same email address.
Ex
CURSOR C1 IS
SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX123' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX223' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX124' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX224' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dualNow, i open the cursor write the contents into a file and also form a comma separated list of buyer emails as follows
for cur_rec in c1
LOOP
--write contents into a file
l_buyer_email_list := l_buyer_email_list||cur_rec.buyer_email||',';
END LOOP
l_buyer_email_list := RTRIM(l_buyer_email_list,',');
The buyer email list will be like: '[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]'
Inorder to avoid duplicate email address in the list, i can store each of this value is a table type variable and compare in each iteration whether the email already exist in the list or not.
Is there any other simpler way to achieve this?
Regards,
Sreekanth Munagala.

If you are using oracle version 11, you can use listagg function
with c as
(SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX123' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX223' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX124' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX224' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
select buyer, listagg(buyer_email,',') within group (order by buyer)
from c
group by buyer
order by buyerFor prior versions
{cod}
with c as
(SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX123' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX223' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 1 Buyer,'XX124' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 Buyer,'XX224' PO, '[email protected]' Buyer_email from dual
select buyer, rtrim(xmlagg(xmlelement(e,buyer_email||',').extract('//text()')),',')

Regarding Invoice list dates.

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement where i need to get the next invoice list date based on invoive list dates-profile(KNVV-PERRL) of the invoice list sold-to-customer(VKDFS-KUNNR) and I need to update the updated date to VKDFS-FKDAT.
Please provide me with ideas or some Function modules to get the invoice list date and the FM for updating VKDFS-FKDAT.

the payer is not equil to the sold to party and bill to party
There is no such standard report to meet this requirement. You have to develop the logic considering VF05

SSDT - Using a SharePoint list data feed as source - "column does not exist in the rowset" error

Hey guys!
So, I want to use a SharePoint list data to create a cube/tabular model, in order to make a complex analysis in PPS using MDX.
To create the tabular model, I'm using the SS Data Tools, and importing a feed from the respective SharePoint list (using the _vti_bin/listdata.svcextension and then selecting the list(s) I wanna to import).
Everything looks fine and smooth, I can select and preview the data in the table import wizard, but in the end, when importing, I always get this error IF the table has one or more row of data (if the table is empty, it's ok...) - the <...>
column doesn't exist in the rowset.
(Curiously, when I have the same procedure in PowerPivot for Excel, I have no problems, everything works fine. The problem is that then I get again errors if I try to create a tabular model on SSDT importing a PowerPivot file).
Here's the error:
Had you already tried this in SSDT? Are you experiencing the same trouble?
Best regards, and thanks in advance!

I noticed something else too.
I can't process Tabular Models on both SSDT and SSMS (2012), but I can process Tabular Models created on PowerPivot.
I tried to create a Data Feed connection on PowerPivot, and it was successfully created. However, if restoring the PowerPivot Tabular DB on my SSAS Tabular instance and processing (full) the model through SSMS, it won't work.
Is there anything different on PowerPivot and SSDT related with Partitioning or connections to the data sources?
Regards,
Jorge
Jorge Mateus
Update:
When trying to Restore a PowerPivot file on my SSAS Tabular Server and full process the model:
The operation failed because the source does not contain the requested column. You can fix this problem by updating the column mappings.
More Details:
The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.
An error occurred while processing the partition 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb' in table 'X_81dabac5-c250-4a8c-8832-ad7fcedd35cb'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
X is the first column of the source table, no matter if I chose others on the PowerPivot table.
When trying to import data from a data feed using SSDT:
The 'X' column does not exist in the rowset.
An error occurred while processing the partition 'X_ee6be81f-2235-4113-b404-cfcb20647a38' in table 'X_ee6be81f-2235-4113-b404-cfcb20647a38'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
X is the first chosen column to import.

Obtaining comma-separated list of text values associated with bitwise flag column

In the table msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps, there is a [flags] column, which is a bit array with the following possible values:
0: Overwrite output file
2: Append to output file
4: Write Transact-SQL job step output to step history
8: Write log to table (overwrite existing history)
16: Write log to table (append to existing history)
32: Include step output in history
64: Create a Windows event to use as a signal for the Cmd jobstep to abort
I want to display a comma-separated list of the text values for a row. For example, if [flags] = 12, I want to display 'Write Transact-SQL job step output to step history, Write log to table (overwrite existing history)'.
What is the most efficient way to accomplish this?

Here is a query that gives the pattern:
DECLARE @val int = 43
;WITH numbers AS (
   SELECT power(2, n) AS exp2 FROM (VALUES(0), (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6)) AS n(n)
), list(list) AS (
   SELECT
   (SELECT CASE WHEN exp2 = 1 THEN 'First flag'
WHEN exp2 = 2 THEN 'Flag 2'
WHEN exp2 = 4 THEN 'Third flag'
WHEN exp2 = 8 THEN 'IV Flag'
WHEN exp2 = 16 THEN 'Flag #5'
WHEN exp2 = 32 THEN 'Another flag'
WHEN exp2 = 64 THEN 'My lucky flag'
   END + ', '
FROM   numbers
WHERE exp2 & @val = exp2
ORDER BY exp2
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.', 'nvarchar(MAX)')
SELECT substring(list, 1, len(list) - 1)
FROM   list
Here I'm creating the numbers on the fly, but it is better to have a table of numbers in your database. It can be used in many places, see here for a short discussion:
http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2005.html#numbersasconcept
(Only read down to the next header.)
For FOR XML PATH thing is the somewhat obscure way we create concatenated lists. There is not really any using trying to explain how it works; it just works. The one thing to keep in mind is that it adds an extra comma at the end and the final query strips
it off.
This query does not handle that 0 has a special meaning - that is left as an exercise to the reader.

Invoice List data(VF21/VF22) as IDoc

Hi,
We have a typical scenario of converting Invoice List data in SAP into IDoc and to transmit it as an XML to the third party system. In the data to be transmitted, sub-totalling at the material (in the invoice items) and material+invoice date level is required and the sub-totals are to be populated in two kind of segments (for each of the sub-total type) in the IDoc.
That is, a new IDoc structure will be defined with the segments/fields that the customer wants viz., a header segment with only few fields from the invoice list header, an item segment with only few fields from the invoice list item, and a sub-total segment with two fields, each to hold sub-total at material and material+date level respectively.
We have output types which, when assigned in the invoice list should create the required Idocs.
Invoice lists will be created for several partners, but each list will have only one partner.
What are the steps to be carried out in order to achieve this objective? Please stress upon the FM parameters to be provided and NACE options to be selected.
Vish.

Hello ,
Your requirement is very simple ,However before posting into sdn please do a proper search on idoc.
Now coming to your requirement as of now you have the invoice data coming up.
1. In the NACE transaction create an output type related with the respective partner data.
2.Create segments with the required fields and set its status to release.
3.create Idoc type and message type ..link the message and segents.
4.Now link the message type and idoc type .
5.
6. Now assign process code to the partner function by defining a logical system and in the process code
put your custom function module where you put your custom code which will filter and
cumulate the data coming from the invoice into different fields
using normal abap code,
Now once you are done with the abap coding the
function module has few parameters which you can pass them as it is .
control_in need to be passed to Control_out as it is.
Now fill the segments with the required data and append the segment data to the
EDI_DATA structure which is a exporting parameter for thefunction module .
Now once you execute the invoice using this partner function and message type
system would internally call the custom function module which you have assigned to
the process code and would create an idoc.
also go through saptechnical-com site for addition details on idoc creation.

Invoice list date in the masters data

We have changed the invoice liste date of Customer Master (Sales area tab page under billing) from "01" to "05" in Production
Then after that we deleted the old Invoice document, which has the invoice list date of "01", and created a new billing document,
However the invoice list date of "01, Not "02", has been assigned to this newly created billing document,
Aftwer making the changes of calendar date format in the Xd03 saleas area billing tab page when user is creating the Invoice the new Invoice list date is not taking the new one what could be reasons help me to know
Thank you.

Hi,
I think, this changes will affect only new document.
In your case you had deleted old invoicess only,but data already captured in sales order or may be in delivery.
Create new SO >>> delivery >>> invoice and shee it appears or not.
If it comes then above my statement is right,

How do I pull SharePoint 2013 list data using a SQL Query

I have been asked to write a sql query to pull data from a SharePoint 2013 List.it needs to return all the columns
Basically a Select all from the specific SharePoint list Database
I do have the list GUID ID. But not sure which SQL Table or Database to look in for list data.. the site and the list is in our main SharePoint site collection.
the query only needs to be saved in SQL server

I know it isn't support but sometimes you have to share data with other programs....
I'm stuck.. I was able to get this far...
SELECT * FROM dbo.Lists
where tp_Title ='List Name'
how do I pull the columns of the list?
I think I still need the specific list not just the master list dbo....
those two links do not work for SQL server and SharePoint 2013

Etrecheck results and damaged Property List Data

In the past couple of weeks I have discovered several problems with my (mid-2010) iMac (System: OS X 10.9.4). First of all, Safari does not automatically open when I boot my computer. Although the computer appears to work alright otherwise, I then suddenly began having problems with it failing to scan documents from my HP L7780. Having a large project requiring the scanning of hundreds of documents, I’m at a standstill until I solve this problem.
Setup:
1. 120GB Internal SSD with OS X (10.9.4) used as main disk with frequently used applications and documents.
2. 1TB Internal Hard Disk with seldom used applications and documents.
3. 1TB External Hard Disk with two partitions:
A) Backup for 120GB Internal SSD,
B) Backup for 1TB internal Hard Disk. (The 1TB internal Hard Disk has only 124GB. Obviously, a much better setup would be to have just one 250GB internal SSD and one external backup for that drive.)
The problem appears to be with the software on the SSD and not the software on the internal hard drive.
Procedures taken:
1. Backed up SSD and reinstalled a fresh copy of OS X 10.9.4 via the Recovery partition using ⌘-R.
2. Attempted to Repair Disk Permissions on SSD again from the Recovery partition. Printout is extremely long.
3. Ran all the tests on TechTool Pro from the external backup. No problems found.
4. Ran all the tests on DiskWarrior from the DiskWarrior disk on both the internal Hard Disk and the internal SSD.
When I scanned the internal Hard Disk with DiskWarrior for files and folders for damage and potential compatibility, no problems were found.
Concerning the internal SSD, using DiskWarrior I had to rebuild the directory several times to (supposedly) completely repair the disk. When I scanned the internal SSD for files and folders for damage and potential compatibility I FOUND A LONG LIST OF PROBLEMS. I’m listing only two (of dozens) below:

I realize that some of these files are invisible, however I do have InVisible 1.2.1. In checking out some invisible folders I find that they have a white minus sign on a red circle on the bottom right corner of the folder icon which means that (apparently) I do not have Sharing & Permissions for this folder.
QUESTION: So, how can I delete a damaged plist in this situation?
In addition, I ran an EtreCheck. Below is a copy of the report:

When attempting to repair permissions in Disk First Aid, there are hundreds (thousands?) of entries stating that they have been repaired. However, when immediately repeating the test, I get the same report.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I don't think it is related to your problem, but just so you know, you should only run applications from the Applications folder. There are some low-level interactions between the system and software that may be broken if applications are installed elsewhere. I know this is true for help. It could be true about other things as well. If you need to, you can use the Applications folder in your home directory instead.

Those files are not damaged. Nor are the plist files. They are AppleDouble files meant for cross platform use on a non-Apple server or inside a zip file. They should never exist in this form on a Mac.

Why do you have two xScans here? Try removing everything from Mail down and see if things work better.

Don't worry about those: Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore

List data validation failed when creating a new list item but does not fail when editing an existing item

Dear SharePoint Experts,
Please help.
Why does my simple formula work in Excel but not-work in SharePoint?
Why does this formula...
=IF([Request Type]="Review",(IF(ISBLANK([Request Date]),FALSE,TRUE)),TRUE)
...work in Excel but fail when I try to use it in SharePoint?
The intent of this formula is the following...
If the field "Request Type" has the value "Review" and the field "Request Data" is blank then show FALSE, otherwise show TRUE.
SharePoint saves the formula, but when a list item is saved where the formula is implemented, (under List Settings, List Validation), SharePoint does not, say anything other than that the formula failed.
Note that the "list data validation failed" error only happens when I am creating a new item-- the formula above works just fine when one is trying to Save on the edit form.
Can you help?
Thanks.

Dear Jason,
I appreciate your efforts.
However, it seems to me that this statement of yours is not correct...
"If it meet the validation formula, then you can new or edit the item, otherwise, it will throw the 'list data validation failed' error, it is by design".
I believe this is NOT the answer for the following reasons.
When I create a new item and click Save, the validation error is "list data validation failed".
When I edit an existing item and click Save, the validation error is "my custom error message" and this is, I believe, the way it needs to work each time.
I think, at the core, the error my formula does not handle some condition of null or blank or other default value.
I tried a forumla that casts the date back to a string, and then checked the string for a default value, but that did not work.
I tried looking up the Correlation ID in the ULS when "list data validation failed" occurs, but that gave no useful information because, even though logging was set to Verbose, the stack trace in the error log was truncated and did not given any
good details.
However, it seems to me that SharePoint 2013 is not well-suited for complex validation rules, because...
SharePoint 2013 list-level validation (NOT column-level validation) allows only 1 input for all the multi-field validation formulas in a given list-- so, if I had more than 1 multi-field validation rule to implement on a given list, it would need to be packed
into that single-line-of-code forumla style, like Excel does. That is not practice to write, debug, or maintain.
SharePoint 2013 list-level validation only allows 1 block of text for all such multi-field validation rules. So that will not work because I would have something like "Validation failed for one or more of the following reasons-- withdrawal cannot exceed
available balance, date-of-birth cannot be after date-of-death,... etc". That will not work for me.
The real and awesome solution would simply be enhancing SP 2013 so that column-level validation forumlas are able to reference other columns.
But, for now, my workaround solution is to use JavaScript and jQuery, hook the onclick handler on the Save button, and that works good. The only problem, is that the jQuery validation rules run before any of the column-level rules created with OOTB
SP 2013. So, in some cases, there is an extra click for the enduser.
Thanks,
Mark Kamoski
