Concatenate multiple lines into one

Post Author: [email protected]
CA Forum: General
Hi,I'm trying to pull data out of one table that could have multiple lines (indicated by a line count field for each row).  The user wants to see all lines in one field only.  I tried the following but am running into issues if there's only one row (one line count). With this, the single row is concatenated with itself. //@groupheader-initilizewhileprintingrecords;stringvar x:=""//@detailwhileprintingrecords;stringvar x:=x+ //@groupfooterwhileprintingrecords;stringvar x Any ideas appreciated.  Thanks!

Take the initialize formula out of the Group Header.
Place it an the Report Header, and create a second (print suppressed) Group Footer and place it there

  • Concatenate multiple records into one single record

    Hello everyone,
    Can anyone guide me how to merge multiple records into one single record
    like......... I am getting the data in the file like
    aaaaa/bbbbbbb/ccccccccccc/dddddddddddd/eee
    ffffff/gggg/hhhhhhhhhhhhhh
    /123/4567/55555/99999999/kaoabfa/eee
    fffff/kkkkkkkk/llllllllllllllllllllllll
    when i use gui_upload I am getting the data into the internal table in the above format.
    My main intension is to split the record at / to multiple lines and dowload it into another file.
    What i am planning to do is... if the line does not start with / then i want to concatenate the multiple lines into single line and then split it into multiple records. Can anyone guide me how to achieve this.

    Yes, it should work.
    In my example
    Loop at itab.
    concatenate i_text itab into i_text.
    endloop.
    You change that loop for the loop of your internal table with the file records
    So if you have this three records
    'aaaa/bbb/ccc'
    '/dddd/efg'
    'hijk/lmn'
    i_text will look like this at the end
    'aaaa/bbb/ccc/dddd/efghijk/lmn'
    then in this part of the code
    split i_text at '/' into table itab2.
    itab2 will have the records looking like this
    aaaa
    bbb
    ccc
    dddd
    efghijk
    lmn'

  • How to concatenate multiple records into one

    Hi everybody:
    I want to know if exist some way to concat multiple records into one without using cursors. For example, I have a table named "Authors" like this:
    Lan|Author
    English|Ernest Hemingway
    Spanish|Octavio Paz
    Spanish|Mario Vargas Llosa
    English|Sinclair Lewis
    Spanish|Gabriel García Márquez
    And I want to get this:
    Author
    Octavio Paz, Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel García Márquez
    I have worked with SQL Server and I can do something like this:
    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.MyConcat (@lan varchar(10))
    RETURNS varchar(5000) AS
    BEGIN
    declare @retvalue varchar(5000)
    set @retvalue=''
    select @retvalue = @retvalue + Author +',' from Authors where lan = @lan
    return substring(@retvalue,1,len(@retvalue)-1)
    END
    ie, do not use cursors to concatenate records. However, with ORACLE, I have to do someting like this.
    FUNCTION MyConcat(P_Lan IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    v_ret VARCHAR2(4000);
    v_element VARCHAR2(4000);
    v_cursor sys_refcursor;
    BEGIN
    OPEN v_cursor FOR SELECT Author FROM Authors where Lan = P_Lan
    LOOP
    FETCH v_cursor INTO v_elemento;
    EXIT WHEN v_cursor%NOTFOUND;
    IF v_ret IS NULL THEN
    v_ret := v_element;
    ELSE
    v_ret := v_ret || ', ' || v_element;
    END IF;
    END LOOP;
    RETURN v_ret;
    END;
    Exist some other way to do this?
    Best Regards
    Jack

    Tks both for answer... I forgot to mention that I am using Oracle 10g. I read about LISTAGG() but this function is available for Oracle 11g release 2.
    I wil read about the other techniques than Hoek mention

  • Concatenate multiple columns into one string

    Hello,
    I am using Oracle 11.2, how can I concatenate the value of multiple columns into one string with one SQL:
    create table testTb(classId number(5), classRoom varchar2(32));
    insert into testTb value(101, 'room101');
    insert into testTb value(101, 'room201');
    insert into testTb value(101, 'room301');
    insert into testTb value(202, 'room444');
    insert into testTb value(202, 'room555');
    I would like to generate the result as followings:
    Class 101 is in room101, room201, room301
    Class 202 is in room444, room555
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Since you're using Oracle 11.2, you can use the aggregate LISTAGG function:
    SELECT       'Class ' || classid
                   || ' is in '
                 || LISTAGG ( classroom
                         ) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY classroom)
                   AS txt
    FROM       testtb
    GROUP BY  classid
    ;The generic name for concatenating all the strings in a group is String Aggregation . This page shows several ways to do it, suitable for different versions of Oracle.

  • Concatenate multiple lines into 1

    I am trying to pull a list of journal entries that meet a certain criteria.  What I would like to know is if I can take that list of multiple lines and combine them into one?  This way I can use the results and run another report with those parameters.  I don't know of any other way to pull in all the lines in a journal entry with certain GL accounts.  I know I can do this if I export a query as an .iqy file and run it in excel, but nobody in my company knows, or wants to know, how to do this other than me.  Or if you know of a better way, I would surely appreciate it.
    Thanks.

  • Storing and retrieving multiple values into one cookie.

    Hi Everyone,
    I am wondering if anybody knows of any good tutorials involving storing multiple values into one cookie. Any URLs will be greatly apprecated. Thanks heaps.

    These are normally delimted in HTTP by a semicolon. You can concatenate the string yourself and on the reverse trip use StringTokenizer to get the values back out.

  • Combine multiple drawings into ONE SHEET

    Hello, this is a question on Acrobat Pro, ver 8, using Windows XP. I guess I understand how to combine multiple files into a single PDF-file. However, this morning I happened to see the option mentioned in the subject line. When you go to "Combine files" > "Getting started with combined files" and select "CAD drawings" the description reads: "Combine multiple drawings into one sheet that's easy to navigate and print". How can this be done? I need to combine 8 ea CAD drawings (already converted to PDF) into ONE SHEET for printing without having the need taping 8 pieces of paper together. Arranging the drawing within the CAD application is not an option because the files were delivered by a 3rd party company and they only deliver PDFs

    Hi Priya,
      You can do this by merging the requets.
       1. goto Se10 and right click on the request and seelct merge requests.
       2. It will ask you from request and to request. Give the request names.
       3. After merging first request contents will be added to second request and
           first request will be deleted.
      Like that you can merge 3 requests to one request.
      Let me know if you want more info.  
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf document on a HP Envy 4501 Printer

    My HP Envy 4501 Printer won't let me scan multiple pages into one pdf document.
    I went to "Advanced Settings", clicked on "file" and made sure that the check box next to "Create a separate file for each scanner page" was unchecked.
    When I clicked the Save button it showed the page that I scanned and showed 1/1.  On the right side it had options for changing the brightness and Contrast, Rotate and Crop and "Back", "Save" and "Done" buttons, but nothing about scanning another page.
    Not to mention HP's Customer Support is useless!
    I'd appreciate any help I can get with this problem.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi BH,
    I see your diagram.  I just scanned something.  The screen that I'm looking at right now shows the preview page and the scroll box to the left of that just like in your diagram.  The screen does not show the + button nor does it show the red x button under the scroll box as in your diagram.  I can't see the plus sign because it is not there.
    I tried re-installing the software and drivers as you suggested but that did not have any affect.
    Thank you for trying to help me with this problem but it hasn't worked, therefore I can't mark the reply "Accept as Solution".
    I've noticed that on HP's support forum web page there is only 1 solved request for assistance.  That doesn't give me much confidence in HP.
    Please reply back to this post to let me know if there is anything else that I can try or if you know someone else at HP that can help.
    If I don't here back from you, I'm returning this HP Envy 4501 Printer to get my money back to use it to buy a printer from one of HP's competitors.
    Thanks,

    Hi Guys,
    I have a text file with 3 fields(comma separated): GLCode (Number), Desc1 (Char), Desc2(Char) and need to load it into BW.

    If ($i%2){
    ("$Keep $($_)").Trim()
    }Else{
    $keep=$_

  • How can I combine multiple pdfs into one document?

    I need to consolidate multiple docs into one.  How do I do that?

    It's pretty easy. Open multiple PDF documents in Apple Preview that came with your Mac. Choose View/Thumbnails so you can see the page thumbnail icons. Select any number (or all) of the page thumbnail icons of one document and drag them to any point in the thumbnails of another document.
    For example you can drag page 6 of one PDF between pages 40 and 41 of another PDF doc. But it sounds like you want to select all pages of one PDF and drag them to the end of another PDF doc.
    If you need more powerful document combining you can use PDFpen or Adobe Acrobat Professional, but they cost money.

  • How do I add multiple images into one file?

    I'm sure this is something that's been covered in another post (or even in the help portal) but I think my wording in my search terms are not correct or... I don't know, because I just can't find what I'm looking for.
    I want to know how to add multiple images into one file/one image, both horizontally and/or vertically. To give you an idea of what I mean, check out :
    http://www.best10apps.com/apps/comic-story,531596060.html
    If you scroll down, you'll see a heading entitled : Screenshots of Comic Story. Notice how there's 3 pictures (divided by borders). 2 of those pictures are side by side, and 1 of them is below the first 2 pictures.
    I want to know how to add different pictures/images and put them into one picture.

    One way is to create template PSD files and populate them with your images using Photoshops scripts.
    Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED June 12, added Picture Package Support via PasteImageRoll and BatchPicturePackage scripts.
    The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
    There are eleven scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
    TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
    CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
    LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
    InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
    ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
    ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
    PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
    BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
    BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
    BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
    PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

    Hi mdtolbert54,
    There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning multiple pages into a single PDF document.  To do this, please follow these steps:
    1. On your keyboard, press the Windows key.
    2. Start typing IJ SCAN UTILITY. The search window opens as you type. Once the IJ SCAN UTILITY is displayed, please select and open it.
    3. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
    4. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window.
    5. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
    a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
    b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option. 
    c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.
    6. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save the changes. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
    7. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed. Scanned items are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window.
    If you find that you need advanced scanning options such as adjusting resolution, brightness, contrast, saturation, color balance, etc. in addition to the options selected above, please click on the SCANGEAR button on the IJ Scan Utility Main screen, then adjust the items as necessary.
    Once the items above are set for document scanning, in the future, you will only need to launch the IJ Scan Utility, then press the DOCUMENT button to perform the scan (unless you want to make changes to the settings).
    Hope this helps!
