Comparing data in two text fields

Hi,
I have two text boxes which compares the value in one text box with other. Assume Text Box 1 has value as 1234 and Text Box 2 has value 12345,123,12346. Now I will be greying out the text box 1 by applying rule as If Text Box 2 contains Text Box 1 then do
conditional formatting of greying out. In this scenario Textbox 2 doesn't contain the value of Text Box 1 how ever the condition turns out to be true and then greys out. Its takes 123 which is present in text box 2 and as it finds
relative match with 123(neglecting 4) it is returning true.
Text Box 2 value is obtained by concatenating several text box values with commas. I want to perform exact match and grey out if it contains. Is there a way I can grey out the text box 1 by comparing the value in text box 2 before and after comma of each
value in textbox.
Thanks

Hi Raju,
I recommend to set the Text Box 2 value by concatenating values with commas like this: “value1,value2,valu3,” (with a comma after each value).
Then we can set the rule like this(Text2 for Text Box 2 field, Text1 for Text Box 1 field):
Best regards.
Thanks

How to compare dates between two items

Hello all,
I am trying to compare dates in two items.
The first item is a computation P45_PAGE_LOADED_TIME
select sysdate from dual;
This essentially keeps track of when the user opened the form. They are accessing data that may become obsolete while they are in the form.
So we have a dynamic action that finds the last_update date from a table. This field is of type date. It is placed in a text field called P45_STATUS.
We then have a notification which we want to fire when P45_PAGE_LOADED_TIME is before P45_STATUS. We tried the following condition
declare
least_date date;
begin
SELECT LEAST(TO_DATE(:P45_STATUS),TO_DATE(:P45_PAGE_LOADED_TIME)) into least_date
from dual;
if least_date = to_date(:P45_STATUS) then
return false;
else
return true;
end if;
end;
Any guidance would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Maybe your better off putting your anonymous block into a plsql function.
A function that you can test. If it works in plsql then you must call it in APEX.
I kinda get a headache when I see that least, to_date, to_date query (although I've seen worse :p)
Make it like:
create or replace function fun_least_date(in_status in varchar2,
                                                           in_page_loaded_time varchar2) return boolean
is
l_status date;
l_page_loaded_time date;
least_date date;
l_return boolean;
begin
l_status := to_date(in_status, 'FORMAT MASK!!!');
l_page_loaded_time := to_date(in_page_loaded_time, 'FORMAT MASK!!!!');
least_date := least(l_status, l_page_loaded_time);
if least_date = l_status then
    l_return := false;
else
    l_return := true;
end if;
return l_return
end fun_least_date;If your sure that your function is correct then use it as a condition for your dynamic action.
Regards
Nico
ps: I haven't tested that function. Be aware that you most correctly enter the format mask you use in APEX. Also before APEX may know about these variables you should set a dynamic action on your items to always submit their value to the server when they change!!!

Select all the dates between two txt fields. how?

In a 6i form cursor I need to select all the dates between two provided dates. I have two text fields FLD1 and FLd2 with date datatype. There is no table behind both the fields.
For example
:FLD1:='01-MAR-2013';
:FLD2:='10-MAR-2013';
Now I have to select all the dates from 01-mar-2013 to '10-mar-2013'. how to do it?

How to compare data between two tables?

Hi,
My team is trying to develop a SAP data migration tool (DMT) using ABAP.
One of the functionalities in the DMT is to validate the data in the staging area against the loaded SAP data.
The tables in the stagin area are customer tables (i.e. user-defined tables starting with Y, Z).
How do I compare the data in the staging area against data that are loaded into SAP tables? Are there some built-in SAP functions to do this? Or, are there some better ways of doing this (e.g. instead of comparing against data in the SAP tables, we compare with some INTERNAL tables)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Kian,
Use <b>SCMP</b> transaction to compare data between two tables and you can not use this for comparing internal tables.
Thanks,

Question on "text flow" with two text fields:

Hi Folks,
I was hoping you could help me to see if this is possible with Livecycle Designer, any assistance would be much appreciated:
I'm populating a dynamic pdf and have the need to have multiple lines of text composed of two text fields (name and description) where name is bold text followed by description in regular text for example:
Item 1 Name Sample: This is the item one description, adding some lorem ipsum text to show how it would flow across multiple lines here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, defunctam.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ingens ad te ad nomine Hesterna. Pentapoli naves non ait Cumque ego dum. Scelus patrem in rei.
Item 2 Name Sample: This is the item two description, adding some lorem ipsum text to show how it would flow across multiple lines here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, defunctam.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ingens ad te ad nomine Hesterna. Pentapoli naves non ait Cumque ego dum. Scelus patrem in rei exultant deo apprehendit in fuerat construeret in rei sensibilium acciperem qui enim est se vero diam ille. Agimus nolo me testatur sed. Descendi eam ad.
Item 3 Name Sample: This is the item three description, adding some lorem ipsum text to show how it would flow across multiple lines here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, defunctam.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ingens ad te ad nomine Hesterna. Pentapoli naves non ait Cumque ego dum. Scelus patrem in rei.
I have a subform for each item that contains two fields [itemName] [itemDescription], is there any way to do this without combining them into one textfield with rich text on?
Thanks,

Hi Phill,
You could use floating fields, where the inputs are hidden and bound to your incoming XML. In the visible {} fields, you can set one of these to bold. The advantage would be that the two displayed floating fields will flow depending on the content.
Have a look at the second example in this form: http://assure.ly/iuYifq
Hope that helps,
Niall

Comparing Xml in a Text Field

We have a Text field which saves Xml data (not too big, 20 to 40 lines usually), in one of the stored procedures, we are receiving the Xml, which needs to be either inserted or updated based on whether that record already exists in table or not. We are doing
that match based on other non-xml fields but in one case we don't have any other option but to compare xml, so here is my question.
What's the most performance efficient way to compare Xml (which is passed as input parameter to SP as Text) to the one already saved in Table as Text? We are running Sql 2005.
Thanks
Syed

Hi Syed_Sajid,
Regarding your description, are you looking for approach to compare xml structured TEXT fields? If so, you can reference the below sample.

T.N.value('.', 'nvarchar(max)') AS Value
FROM @XML1.nodes('/catalog/book/*') AS T(N)
XML2 AS
SELECT T.N.value('local-name(.)', 'nvarchar(max)') AS NodeName,
T.N.value('.', 'nvarchar(max)') AS Value
FROM @XML2.nodes('/catalog/book/*') AS T(N)
SELECT ISNULL(XML1.NodeName, XML2.NodeName) AS NodeName,
XML1.Value AS Value1,
XML2.Value AS Value2
FROM XML1
FULL outer join XML2
ON XML1.NodeName = XML2.NodeName
WHERE ISNULL(XML1.Value, '') <> ISNULL(XML2.Value, '')
The different nodes between two xmls will be listed in the result above.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Data from one text field to another text field on the next page

Hi all,
Hi I have a form, which has data coming in from the data binding, the thing is the data is mapped to a certain text field and if that text field is filled up it should be continued on to the other text field which is on the immediate page following it. the reason for using text field instead of Subform and make it expandable is the client does not want to change the position and structure of other fields following that field, they are o.k with the amount overflowed in to the next text field .
is there any script for the same condition in Java script or form calc.
Thanks in advance.
de1209

This is not as simple as it sounds. You will not be able to split the field up during the time of binding. The entire string must go into the field and only after it has completed the biinding can we change it around. A colleage of mine did this for an interactive field and it involved some pretty complicated code. Here is a link to her blog entry that describes what she did:
http://blogs.adobe.com/lcdesigner/2008/07/an_example_of_splitting_text_a.html
But that is only part of the problem.....once you split the information across two fields you will need to recombine it back into a single field so that the data that is submitted can represent it correctly again. So you will have to reverse the process in a presubmission step.
Make sense?

How to place two text fields on the same line in adobe

I am trying to create a form on adobe and I would like to have two unique text fields on the same line. Is this posible?

If you are using FormsCentral it is, the fields can be placed "side by side" in a row. There is a "+" sign on the right side of the field that brings up a toolbar to add a field adjacent. You can also right click on a field and select "Insert beside", or you can "drag and drop" fields next to one another or to a new row.
Thanks,
Josh
PS - One note, if you are using the "desktop" application of FormsCentral that comes with Acroat Pro XI make sure the application is up to date by either using the "Help" - "Check for updates" menu item or by signing into the application so that you have the latest features including the side by side layout.

How to compare content of two text file using StreamTokenizer

hi....
i have two text files...containg field like(name,number,scheme) and(number,date,value)... i want to create a third file containg field like (name,number,date,scheme,value) by using these two table. how to create

I think this code can solve your problem.
private static final String DELIM = ",";
* Compile two files.

* @param file2 String the input file 2
* @param file3 String the output file
* @throws IOException error in reading/writing

        IOException {
        BufferedReader reader1 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(

        BufferedReader reader2 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
            new FileInputStream(file2)));
        BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
            new FileOutputStream(file3)));
        String line1 = reader1.readLine();
        String line2 = reader2.readLine();
        while (line1 != null && line2 != null) {
            writer.write(compileLines(line1, line2));
            writer.newLine();
            line1 = reader1.readLine();
            line2 = reader2.readLine();
        reader1.close();

        writer.close();
    private String compileLines(String line1, String line2) {
        StringTokenizer tok1 = new StringTokenizer(line1, DELIM);
        StringTokenizer tok2 = new StringTokenizer(line2, DELIM);
        String name = tok1.nextToken();
        String number = tok1.nextToken();
        String scheme = tok1.nextToken();
        // ignore number
        tok2.nextToken();

        String value = tok2.nextToken();
        StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();

Comparing data of two elements

Hi ,
I have an application in which the user is required to fill up a form or modify an existing entry. When the user clicks on the save button I want to check if the user has made any changes or not. There are 40 odd fields in the form. I'm looking for an option other than the normal If-Then-Else.
Does someone know a better way of comparing the data in two different elements?
Are there any API's which do this?
Thanks in advance

Whereas the abbreviation of countries that exist in Table2 table are the first three letters of the name of the country*, here's a suggestion:
-- code #1 v2
INSERT into [Difference] (Col1, Col2, ACol1, BCol1)
SELECT case when A.Col1 = B.Col1 then 'true' else 'false' end,
(IsNull(A.Col2, 0) - IsNull(B.Col2, 0)), A.Col1, B.Col1
from TableA as A full outer join
TableB as B on (A.Col1 = B.Col1
or Left(A.Col1, 3) = B.Col1);
Is the COLLATE database case insensitive? If not, the code #1 above will have to be modified, using the upper () function or using COLLATE case insensitive in A.Col1 and B.Col1 columns.
But if the abbreviation of the country follow the
ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 standard, will require a fourth table containing the symbol and name of countries.
-- code #2 v2
;with
TableB_2 as (
SELECT case when Len(Col1) = 3
then (SELECT Country_name from [ISO 3166-1 a3] where Cod = Col1)
else Col1 end as Col1, Col2
from TableB
INSERT into [Difference] (Col1, Col2, ACol1, BCol1)
SELECT case when A.Col1 = B.Col1 then 'true' else 'false' end,
(IsNull(A.Col2, 0) - IsNull(B.Col2, 0)), A.Col1, B.Col1
from TableA as A full outer join
TableB_2 as B on A.Col1 = B.Col1;
Structure and data to test:
use tempdb;
CREATE TABLE TableA (Col1 varchar(10), Col2 int);
CREATE TABLE TableB (Col1 varchar(10), Col2 int);
CREATE TABLE [Difference] (Col1 varchar(10), Col2 int, ACol1 varchar(10), BCol1 varchar(10));
INSERT into TableA values ('INDIA', 1), ('PAKistan', 2), ('China', 12);
INSERT into TableB values ('INDIA', 1), ('PAK', 3), ('Bhutan', 3);
go
CREATE TABLE [ISO 3166-1 a3] (Cod char(3) primary key, [Country_name] varchar(30));
INSERT into [ISO 3166-1 a3] values
('IND', 'India'), ('PAK', 'Pakistan'), ('CHN', 'China'), ('BGD', 'Bangladesh'),
('BTN', 'Bhutan'), ('MMR', 'Myanmar'), ('NPL', 'Nepal');
go
(*) If the short form of the country name using the first three letters of the country name,
false positives can occur. For example,
Mali and Malta or
Angola and Anguilla.

How to "encapsulate" a data from a text field in a JSP form

Hi. I'm trying to make a user's registration jsp page and I'm not sure how I could get the data from a JSP form from the user and store that into some variable that I could later pass to a query to modify the database. I've been using a JavaBean, but I get null values for all the fields of the jsp page. That's logical, since I cannot find a method that will read the user's input and store that into some variable. In my JavaBean, I have get and set methods that will return a String for each of the form fields such as first name and email. The set method will have in a String as a parameter to set that field value (whichever field it is) to the value of the input parameter, but I don't know if there is a method or a way to read and store the values entered by the user into the jsp form. This is a code snippet of the jsp form:
<TR><TD>First Name: </TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="fname"
VALUE="<%= newUser.getFirstName() %>"></TD></TR>
Here, the getFirstName() method simply returns the value of a String value related to the user's first name, which is initialized as null in the JavaBean. newUser is the name of the JavaBean that I'm using.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

haha...nevermind this question also guys...I found out that I could use the request.getParameter("some_String") method with my JavaBean to read and store data entered by the user in a text field.

Auto date entry in text field not working

I have a text field named tdate, which is read-only and visible. I want Acrobat XI Pro to insert today's date when the form is opened. Here's what I have:
javascript code:
var f = this.getField("tdate");
if (!f.value) f.value = util.printd ("mmmm d, yyyy", new Date());
This code is inserted in Page properties / Actions /Page Open / run a JavaScript
nothing happens when the page is opened.
I have also tried, unsuccessfully, to enter this JavaScript code within the form field actions (mouse up), and nothing happens. I see from the forum comments that apparently this is successful for other users, but nothing seems to fill this text field. What am I doing wrong?
Bill

Thanks for your reply. I started to wonder whether or not the current field
that I created had somehow been corrupted due to my fooling around so I
deleted the field re-created it (and also randomly JavaScript debugger and
deleted the code there) and now the current date appears in the text field.
I wonder why Adobe doesn't simply allow the user to insert fields where the
field is filled with either the current date or the current time instead of
forcing the user to enter some JavaScript code. Not all users of Acrobat
professional want to get that involved.

Bill

Hi Arch,
Go to the following link and check JCalendar API (needs to create a login for downloading JAR)
[JCalendar API @ dev.java.net|https://jcalendar.dev.java.net/]
it is a nice JCalendar with lot of options. Also it is working. You can download the JAR file and use it in ur program.
From this component, you can read out the Date value and then set the text of JTextFiled using this value.
or go for another implementation
