Concatenate interface fields(string) to Text Field

Hi experts.
I'm looking for solution.
I created adobe interactive form displaying in ABAP WebDynpro, using ZCI layout
I want to display sample text like: Hello mr. John today is monday. - John and monday are variables from interface.
But I have problem with this. Its possible concatenate string values binding to one UI element?
I was tried initialize script (FormCalc, JavaScript) for TextField bud, it don' t work. something was bad.
For example I have defined Global field in form interface and concatenate value in initialize runtime, it works for ABAP callings from front-end.
But when I show form from WebDynpro initialize runtime does not call from framework.
Can some body help me.
Or write same sample, thank you !!!!!!!

Hi Peter,
Have you try using text element ?

How to make fields in field group as text fields in ABAP query

Hi friends,
I a have a ABAP query 85 corresponding to infoset A205,
there is a field group in the infoset A205 and it contains some fields
but some of the fields are made as text fields ................i want to know how to make these fields in
the field group as text fields.
there is a small icon " T " on the field when it is made as a text field .
Please help me
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
IF you can specify which Field Catalog then it will be useful for us to provide appropriate answer.
1. For Customer Master
IMG> Financial Accounting New> Acs Recev and Acs Payable --> Customer Accounts --> Master Data --> Preperation of creating customer master Data --> Define Account Groups with screen layout (customers)
In that you can create your own account group, and click Details Screen.
There will Field Status header within that are listed three main areas
General data
Company code data
Sales data
When you double click these lines it will take you into "Status Group" Overview. Wherein under "Select Group" are listed fields Address, communiucation.... Double click on one group , you will bet aken into the group field wherein you will find 4 colums with indicators assigned to it. ( Suppress, Req. Entry, Opt Entry, Display) you can choose the required option. "Req. Entry" against the field. Click save after you complete your selections.
2. Similarly you can do for Material Master in
IMG --> Logistics General --> Material Master --> Field Selection --> Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens
But be careful when you do it for material master as it is cuts across all the modules...

Using Javascript to create concatenated string from checkbox fields to one text field

Hi. I have a PDF form that I am trying to have output to a spreadsheet that matches my database schema. Here is the dilemna:
* I have a set of checkboxes for available languages (LANGUAGE_ENGLISH, LANGUAGE_SPANISH, etc.) When they export to spreadsheet, the value is TRUE.
* I need to take values from checked boxes and create a single string in a text field called LANGUAGE_DISPLAY (so my UI will not need to do the concatenation). If LANGUAGE_ENGLISH is TRUE (checked), append "English, " to LANGUAGE_DISPLAY, else append "". Then, if LANGUAGE_SPANISH is TRUE (checked), append "Spanish, " to LANGUAGE_DISPLAY, else append "". And on and on
In the LANGUAGE_DISPLAY text field properties, I am inserting a Custom Calculation script to try to achieve this, but am not getting any results. I tried teh following even trying to pull the checkboxes default values and string them together:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value.toSrting();
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value.toSrting();
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value.toSrting();
event.value = box1 + ', ' + box2 + ', ' + box3;
I also played with this to get the desired strings output...but to no avail:
if ( LANGUAGE_ENGLISH.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "English, ";
if ( LANGUAGE_FARSI.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "Farsi, ";
if ( LANGUAGE_HEBREW.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "Hebrew, ";
event.value = box1 + box2 + box3;
Then I tried to simplify to see one field output so used this script...still no results:
event.value = "";
var f = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH");
if ( f.isBoxChecked() == true) {
event.value = "English";
Couple questions:
1) Am I on the right track with any of these scripts?
2) Is there something else I need to do to get the script to run before running the Create Spreadsheet with Data Files comman in Acrobat to get my csv file output? Maybe there needs to be some event to get the checkbox values read by that field in order to calculate/create the string.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

LiveCycle Designer has shipped with all Acrobat Professional versions since the "Professional" version was introduced with version 6.
You do not let us know want results you get in the field or the JavaScript console.
Using:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value.toString();
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value.toString();
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value.toString();
event.value = box1 + ', ' + box2 + ', ' + box3;
returns "Off, Off, Off", when no box is checked and returns "Yes" for the appropriate box being checked when the default value is used for the creation of the check box. So if one would make the 'Export Value' of the box from the default value of 'Yes" to the appropriate language, one would get a more desirable result. But for each unchecked box the value would appear as "Off". So one needs to change the 'Off' value to a null string. But one is still left with the separator when there is an unchecked option.
Using the following document level function:
// Concatenate 3 strings with separators where needed
function fillin(s1, s2, s3, sep) {
Purpose: concatenate up to 3 strings with an optional separator
inputs:
s1: required input string text or empty string
s2: required input string text or empty string
s3: required input string text or empty string
sep: optional separator sting
returns:
sResult concatenated string
// variable to determine how to concatenate the strings
var test = 0; // all strings null
var sResult; // re slut string to return
// force any number string to a character string for input variables
s1 = s1.toString();
s2 = s2.toString();
s3 = s3.toString();
if(sep.toString() == undefined) sep = ''; // if sep is undefined force to null
assign a binary value for each string present
so the computed value of the strings will indicate which strings are present
when converted to a binary value
if (s1 != "") test += 1; // string 1 present add binary value: 001
if (s2 != "") test += 2; // string 2 present add binary value: 010
if (s3 != "") test += 4; // string 3 present add binary value: 100
/* return appropriate string combination based on
calculated test value as a binary value
switch (test.toString(2)) {
case "0": // no non-empty strings passed - binary 0
sResult = "";
break;
case "1": // only string 1 present - binary 1
sResult = s1;
break;
case "10": // only string 2 present - binary 10
sResult = s2;
break;
case "11": // string 1 and 2 present - binary 10 + 1
sResult = s1 + sep + s2;
break;
case "100": // only string 3 present - binary 100
sResult = s3;
break;
case "101": // string 1 and 3 - binary 100 + 001
sResult = s1 + sep + s3;
break;
case "110": // string 2 and 3 - binary 100 + 010
sResult = s2 + sep + s3;
break;
case "111": // all 3 strings - binary 100 + 010 + 001
sResult = s1 + sep + s2 + sep + s3;
break;
default: // any missed combinations
sResult = "";
break;
return sResult;
And the following cleaned up custom calculation script:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value;
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value;
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value;
if (box1 == 'Off') box1 = '';
if (box2 == 'Off') box2 = '';
if (box3 == 'Off') box3 = '';
event.value = fillin(box1, box2, box3, ', ');
One will get the list of languages with the optional separator for 2 or more language selections.

How to find the number of occurance of a string in text field of Infopath form?

Hi All,
In Infopath text field, How to find the number of occurrence of a particular string in that field?
Thanks in advance!

You can check to see if it contains a string once by using the contains function, but there isn't a very clean way to do what you want. If you wanted to guess at the maximum number of occurrences, then you could:
Box A has your initial. Set Box B to do a concat of string-before and string-after of Box A where it copies Box A minus the string we're looking for. Then we have Box C that does the same thing to Box B. Repeat as many times as you see necessary.
Example:
String: "1"
Box A - "123451234512345"
Box B - "23451234512345"
Box C - "2345234512345"
Box D - "234523452345"
etc.
We then have a field that has nested ifs looking backwards from Z -> A looking for a non-blank. Based on that, we return the number of occurrences. Again, this isn't clean, but it will work if you think there's a predefinable maximum.

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?

Displaying the value of text field A in text field B

I have a PDF form with 2 layers. Layer 1 has information, a textfield, and a button. Layer 2 is a certificate design. The user inputs their name in to a textfield called NameEntry.
When they hit the button, layer 1 disappears -- the instructions and NameEntry box become hidden. Layer 2 is the certificate design and I need a new textfield (which is called NameDisplay) to be populated from inputted information in text field NameEntry.
The simple answer, I know, is to name both text fields the same. This does not work for me as I need the input textfield to be styled differently (background and border) due to decisions out of my control vs the NameDisplay which will have no background and no border.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Use this custom calculation script:
event.value = this.getField("NameEntry").valueAsString;

Linking a select field with a text field in a DW form.....

I did try to search for this but nothing came to my attention. Apologies if it is already in the forum.
Is it possible to have a "select field" link with a "text field"? In other words The select field will provide different venues to choose from, in this case "Blog, Trade Show, Friend, Photo Magazine" and then after the choice is made a text field appears that allows you to provide details re. your choice. For example if you choose "Trade Show" from the select field the text field will then appear and prompt you to detail WHICH Trade Show. Something along those lines. Any assistance will, as always, be appreciated.

You need scripts for this. Try this jQuery tutorial

Setting the colour red for an input field or a text-field in a table

Hy,
I am using an input-field or text-field within a table-cell. For some rows in the table the text in the input-field / text-field should be red. How can I do this ?
Florian Hroch

Create a new attribute "TextColor" of type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.TextViewSemanticColor" (local DDIC types), under the table's data source node.
Bind the "TextView.semanticColor" property of the table cell editor to this attribute.
If you cannot add new attributes under the data source node (this is the case if there is a structure binding), add a value node "TableProperties" (cardinality 1:1, selection 1:1) under the data source node and add the attribute there.
Then you can control the color of the TextView in table row at index i by setting the "TextColor" value for node element at index i.
For an input field, you cannot set the text color, a workaround might be adding an icon in an extra column.

Bar Code Field changes to Text Field

Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 Windows 7 Pro
I have a form with a bar code field. Once the file is saved and re-opened the Bar Code field changes to a text field. Any clues why this would happen?

No special font. I dont think its an option for the Bar Code field
Just discovered though that it happens when I use the same field in a page template. As soon as I create a template with the Bar Code filed and save the file, it changes it to a text field.

Link a Form Field to new Text Field

PDF - form field
Looking for a code to link a form field(text_1, on page #5) to
another, new form field(text_2, on pages 2-4).
Maybe a "Page Properties" action (i.e., Page Open: field text_2 = field text_1)
~~
Why....
busy but here's why
In the PDF, there are Form fields on page 5 which interface (externalinterface) with an RMA ( a SWF) on page 2.
This all works well.
As the form fields must be carried forward (from page 5 to page 2... to interface the RMA),
the orignal page 5, From fields are copied to pages 2-4 and then "Hidden".
Again, this works just fine.
A reset "action" (button) was added to, well, clear the Form Field for easy reuse.
The reset ''action' does it's job and clears ALL form fields with the same "Name".... on every /all pages.
This causes the dynamic interface, with the RMA, to display blank fields (within the SWF).
This will effect the User's experience.
~~
Work aound.....
Find a way to label the Form Fields (page 5) so that "only they" are reset, and no others.
Create a link of Form Field inputs on page 5 (with names... x,y,z),
to new Form Fields pages 2-4 (with a differnet names... a,b,c).
Thanks in advance for your help....

Hi jm,
This may be what you are after. No text wrap, but notes are there.
Type an account number into the Enquire table to get Client and Contact
Formula in B2 (and Fill Right)
=INDEX(Database::B,MATCH($A2,Database::$A,0))
Large notes display table with Wrap Text
Formula is
=INDEX(Database::D,MATCH(Enquire::$A2,Database::A,0))
All together:
Change it around if you want to look up by Client instead of Account

Problem in selecting the different fields from different text fields

hi,
Can anyone help me regarding my query.
i have 3 select list columns separately and what i m trying is that when i select one field from first select list the related fields must only be available for me in the second select list and so on.
Suppose i select EBSO as a product name from the first select list then only those thing should be visible to me in the second select list which is only related to EBSO only...and same wise with the third select list..
If anyone has the clue for this pls help me.
The only clue which i m finding is that to use the java scrpts but how to use is another difficulty for me.
Regards

I will explain this through an example.
In my application I have created two Select Lists.
The first select list is a select list with a submit
P3_X allows selection of 1,2,3
The page branch sets the value of P3_X with &P3_X. so that way the second select list knows what value it will be using.
The second select list P3_Y is a dynamic query that says
Select SCOL d, SCOL r from TEST1 where FCOL=:P3_X
If you were to have a third select list you would make the second Select List also a submit and have the page branch also set P3_Y with &P3_Y.
The third Select list would say select from where item=:P3_Y
Does this answer your question?

Cast string in a text field as date in UK format on reports

Hi All,
I have UK locale setup for all my users, so all date / time fields display in dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss format. However this one field is a text field and has a timestamp value in it in US format like 05/26/2011 16:31:00 and I am trying to display it like 26/05/2011 16:31:00 in reports.
I tried to Cast it as DATE or TIME or TIMESTAMP it errors out saying invalid month. Understandable.
The best I have managed to do is to simply use the SUBSTRING, LEFT and RIGHT functions as below and rearrange the characters to display it the way I want, but I don't want to hard code it that way. There are a few US locale users as well and it will impact them if I hard code it.
SUBSTRING ("- Service Request Custom Attributes".TEXT_35 FROM 4 FOR 3) || LEFT("- Service Request Custom Attributes".TEXT_35, 3) || RIGHT("- Service Request Custom Attributes".TEXT_35, 13)
Is there a way to achieve this? Please suggest. The reason I am doing it is in the same report there are other date / time fields displaying in UK format except this one so it's confusing to users.
Regards,
Udaya

The reason you're receiving the "Invalid Month" error is that the date format expected by the cast function is dd-mmm-yyyy (as in: 11-Jun-2011). You can use substring and case statements to pull out what you need from the data field, and then cast it to an actual date.

Caml query to retrive keyword from rich text field

hi friends
i am using below caml query to retrieve data from title field and Rich text field(Definition)
<View>
<Query>
<Where>
<And>
<Or>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name=\'Title\'/>
<Value Type=\'Text\'>'+letter+'</Value>
</Eq>
<Contains>
<FieldRef Name=\'Definition\' />
<Value Type=\'Note\'>'+letter+'</Value>
</Contains>
</Or>
<Neq>
<FieldRef Name=\'status\' />
<Value Type=\'Text\'>Not approved</Value>
</Neq>
</And>
</Where>
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name=\'Title\' /></OrderBy>
</Query>
</View>
this query is working fine. But it is retrieving some extra fields also which doesn't have the queried string. and even it is retrieving keyword from image urls which are present in rich text field.
Please help me to retrieve key word from plain text of rich text field.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use caml query to retrive keyword from rich text field
By design, when specifying a ViewFields clause, values for these fields are returned, together with a few system columns like ID, Created and Modified.
If you query rich text field, it will return the field with HTML tags.
To retrieve key word from plain text of rich text field, you need to use regular expression to remove the HTML tags.
You can use the code below:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sitename"))
using (SPWeb spWeb = site.OpenWeb())
SPList spList = spWeb.Lists.TryGetList("ListName");
SPQuery qry = new SPQuery();
if (spList != null)
qry.Query =
@" <Where>
<Contains>
<FieldRef Name='Rich_x0020_Text' />
<Value Type='Note'>caml</Value>
</Contains>
</Where>";
qry.ViewFields = @"<FieldRef Name='Title' /><FieldRef Name='Rich_x0020_Text' />";
SPListItemCollection listItems = spList.GetItems(qry);
foreach (SPListItem item in listItems)
string src = item["Rich_x0020_Text"].ToString();
Regex htmlReg = new Regex(@"<[^>]+>", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
src = htmlReg.Replace(src, string.Empty);
Console.WriteLine(src);
Console.ReadKey();
The result is as below:

Invalid text value. A text field contains invalid data. Check the value and try again

Hello,
I am having a problem with the error mentioned in the title. I see alot of others have experienced the same problem, but I have quite a twist to it.
I see the problem when I try to edit a list item, and then try to save the changes.
Here what I see in the ULS log:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Invalid text value. A text field contains invalid data. Check the value and try again

I have 3 front end servers(fx wfe1, wfe2, wfe3). And here is the twist.
If I access the library directly through wfe1 and wfe2, I get the error. If I access the library via wfe3 if works just fine.
So because of this, I think it is safe to assume that is has nothing to do with the character limit of 255. Nor does it have anything to do with the field type, since it is already set to mulitible lines of text.
So. Any ideas?
Regards,
Michael

To solve the problem you may have to change the field's parent type to "note". To do that you have to open your fldtypes... file under Templates/xml and change the line to:
"<Field Name="ParentType">Note</Field>" from "<Field Name="ParentType">Text</Field>"
You might also have to add a sql type if your text needs to be longer than 255 characters
