Concatenate Two Fields Using EQL

I am trying to concatenate two fields my company has in Endeca and am not being able to accomplish this. I have a Call_Num field and a Task_Num field. I would like to combine these fields with a hyphen in between. In the SQL queries I have written, I've been able to do this by typing: Call_Num || '-' || Task_Num. I tried this in EQL and am told that it doesn't recognize the ||. I tried using the keyword Concat (like you do in Excel) - CONCAT(Call_Num, '-', Task_Num), and it didn't recognize that either. I spoke to someone else in my company who uses Endeca and they told me that I need to convert Call_Num and Task_Num to integers (both fields are currently formatted as text - which is what I want, because Task_Num usually starts with a 0), multiply them by 1000 and then add them together. That isn't what I'm looking for either.
I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall. I've been working on this simple task for about an hour now and have not met with any success.
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

EQL is for run-time querying, whereas you want the index to contain this as a concatenated property. Either generate this property as a concatenated version in your data feed to Endeca, or add a Record Manipulator to your pipeline of:
<EXPRESSION TYPE="VOID" NAME="CREATE">
<EXPRNODE NAME="PROP_NAME" VALUE="_YourConcatenatedAttribute"/>
<EXPRESSION TYPE="STRING" NAME="CONCAT">
<EXPRESSION TYPE="PROPERTY" NAME="IDENTITY">
<EXPRNODE NAME="PROP_NAME" VALUE="Call_Num"/>
</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION TYPE="STRING" NAME="CONST">
<EXPRNODE NAME="VALUE" VALUE="-"/>
</EXPRESSION>
<EXPRESSION TYPE="PROPERTY" NAME="IDENTITY">
<EXPRNODE NAME="PROP_NAME" VALUE="Task_Num"/>
</EXPRESSION>
</EXPRESSION>
</EXPRESSION>
Define a property in your pipeline and then map "\_YourConcatenatedAttribute" to this (the "_" prefix just reminds you that the source attribute is programmatically generated rather than being the name of a property in your source data). You can then use this concatenated property for any sorting, filtering etc. you want to do.

How to concatenate two fields CSKS-KOSTL & CSKT-LTXT in BEx Query?

Hi,
I have a requirement to concatenate two fields CSKS-KOSTL (Cost Center) and CSKT-LTXT (Cost Center Text) and show them as one field in the BEx query.
I do not know what to do, so please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Harman

Hi Harman,
If cost center is a masterdata, it can have its own text..i doubt why do u have 2 different fileds..
Anyways if its a masterdata object maitaining its own text, then in the query properties under Display tab select Key&Text option this give you both key and text values in the output.
If its two different fileds then its better to use concatenate in the transformation.

Concatenate two fields

Hi,
Can anyone let me know how to concatenate the following two fields and use it in the select statement::
BKPF-AWKEY = MKPF-BELNR + MKPF-MJAHR.
Please reply at your earliest convenience.
Thanks,
Amit.

hi
good
check this example and use accordingly
DATA: c1(10) TYPE c VALUE 'Sum',
      c2(3) TYPE c VALUE 'mer',
      c3(5) TYPE c VALUE 'holi ',
      c4(10) TYPE c VALUE 'day',
      c1 (30) TYPE c,
      sep(3) TYPE c VALUE ' - '.
CONCATENATE c1 c2 c3 c4 INTO c5.
WRITE c5.
CONCATENATE c1 c2 c3 c4 INTO c5 SEPARATED BY sep.
WRITE / c5.
The output looks like this:
Summerholiday
Sum - mer - holi - day
In c1 to c5, the trailing blanks are ignored. The separator sep retains them.
thanks

Trigger to concatenate two fields in a table

Hi
I am trying to concatenate two column in a table and add to the third column in the same table, all the columns are
numbers, I want to write a trigger which is after insert to do that..does anyone know how its done...
thanks a lot
Jessica

Hi, Jessica,
Welcome to the forum!
Do you really need to store this concatenation? The way you would get these results in a normalized database is to store the numbers separately, and comnbine them, when necessary, in queries and reports. You can use use a view to avoid repeating the same coiding over and over.
If you really want to store the value, use a BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE trigger, like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER     table_x_biu
BEFORE     INSERT OR UPDATE
ON     table_x
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
     :NEW.column_3 := TO_CHAR (:NEW.column_1)
                || '-'
                || TO_CHAR (:NEW.column_2);
END;I'm confused by your exact requirements. Concatentaion can only be done to strings.
If column_1 and column_2 are NUMBERs, the trigger above will make string versions of those numbers, concatenate them together (with a hyphen between them), and put the results in the VARCHAR2 column column_3.
So after this statement:
INSERT INTO table_x (column_1, column_2, column_3)
       VALUES          (1,     2,       '9-8');the new row will have column_3= '1-2'. (In this case, there is no point in explicitly setting column_3, because the trigger will always set the value based entirely on column_1 and column_2.)
If you need more help, post CREATE TABLE , INSERT and UPDATE statements, and who what you want the table to contain after each INSERT or UPDATE.

Joining Two Fields Into One Field for a View

I am trying to create a view based off of multiple tables.
I have all of the joins and everything done nicely and working properly.
However, when I get to this one step, that's when I start running into problems.
I just want to join (or concatenate) two fields together with a period character in between them.
For example, if I take FirstName and LastName, then I want them to become one field called Name, appearing as "JOHN.DOE"
When I try to join them together, the problem comes up with the period character.
A sample code of what I have done is here:
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create view VIEW_LALALA
as SELECT t1.FirstName + '.' + t2.LastName as Name, t1.something as Something, t2.ooo as OOO
FROM (tableFirstNames t1 inner join tableLastNames t2 on t1.nameID = t2.nameID)
END;

Concatenate fields using commas

How do I concatenate fields using proper English separators? I'm using Acrobat Pro X.
I have fields named Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4 and Result.
Example 1
In Field1, I enter Apples. In Field2, Oranges. The other two fields are empty (Null).
In the Result field it returns "Apples and Oranges."
Example 2
I add Grapes in Field3.
The Result field returns, "Apples, Oranges, and Grapes."
Example 3
I add Pears to Field4,
The Result should be, "Apples, Oranges, Grapes, and Pears."
Any help is appreciated.

The script for this will be scaled up to ten total fields once complete and will only contain consecutively filled fields. This is what I have currently. It uses a separate field for the conjunction and obviously leaves the remaining commas and the end of the returned result.
var a=getField(“Field1”).valueAsString
var b=getField(“Field2”).valueAsString
var c=getField(“Field3”).valueAsString
var d=getField(“Field4”).valueAsString
var e=getField(“Field5”).valueAsString
var f=getField(“Field6”).valueAsString
var g=getField(“Field7”).valueAsString
var h=getField(“Field8”).valueAsString

How to use same Data Type and Length for two fields

How to use same data type and length for two fields when using 'FOR ALL ENTRIES IN' in a select statement? For instance the select queries are :
SELECT bukrs gjahr belnr lifnr budat bldat zlspr dmbtr waers shkzg
FROM bsik
INTO TABLE it_bsik
WHERE bukrs = p_bukrs
AND lifnr IN s_lifnr.
IF it_bsik IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT belnr gjahr awkey awtyp
FROM bkpf
INTO TABLE it_bkpf
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_bsik
WHERE belnr = it_bsik-belnr
AND gjahr = it_bsik-gjahr.
IF it_bkpf IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT belnr gjahr lifnr xblnr
FROM rbkp
INTO TABLE it_rbkp
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_bkpf
WHERE belnr = it_bkpf-awkey+0(10)
AND gjahr = it_bkpf-awkey+10(4).
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Here it gives an error in the 3rd select query that 'When you use the addition "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab", the fields "GJAHR" and "IT_BKPF2-AWKEY+10(4)" must have the same type and the same length.'
Kindly clarify.

Hi Saurabh,
Please see the example code that I have developed for you. It will help you solve the problem.
REPORT ZTEST_3 .

         gjahr type GJAHR,
       end of it_bkpf.
data : begin of it_bkpf1 occurs 1,
         belnr type RE_BELNR,
         awkey type gjahr,              " change the data type
         awtyp type awtyp,
         gjahr type GJAHR,

         xblnr type XBLNR,
       end of it_rbkp.
select belnr
       awkey
       awtyp
       gjahr
       from bkpf
       into table it_bkpf
       where BUKRS = 'TELH'.
loop at it_bkpf.
it_bkpf1-belnr = it_bkpf-belnr.
it_bkpf1-awkey = it_bkpf-awkey+10(4).           "Here only append the required length.
it_bkpf1-awtyp = it_bkpf-awtyp.
it_bkpf1-gjahr = it_bkpf-gjahr.
append it_bkpf1.
clear it_bkpf1.
endloop.
select belnr
        gjahr
        lifnr
        xblnr
        from RBKP
        into table it_rbkp
        for all entries in it_bkpf1
        where belnr = it_bkpf1-belnr
This is just an example. Change the fields according to your requirement.

Use DISTINCT with two fields to return one record

I am using OleDB with a SELECT DISTINCT query that is used in C# code to populate a DataGridViewComboBox. The queried table has two fields: ID and Description. The ID field values are unique. Descriptions may be duplicated. The DataSource of my DataGridViewComboBox
is ListBoxItems which is a ListBox that is populated from a table. The ValueMember is ID and the DisplayMember is Description. A sample table might look like this:
ID    Description
1     Blue
2     Blue
3     Red
4     Blue
I want my query to return two records; one for the Red description and only one for the Blue description. I don't care which Blue description it returns, but I do need the corresponding ID for the selected Blue record and the ID value for the Red record.
Using SELECT DISTINCT ID, Description FROM... would give me four records instead of two. How can I return only two records in this scenario?
Rob E.

Using window function:
create table #temp
ID int,
description varchar(20),
insert into #temp Values(1,'blue')
insert into #temp Values(2,'blue')
insert into #temp Values(3,'red')
insert into #temp Values(4,'blue')
;WITH CTE AS (select RN=ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY description ORDER BY newid() ),
ID,description from #temp)
SELECT ID, description from CTE
WHERE RN = 1;
ID description
4 blue
3 red

Inventory on Hand Report - Using Union ALL - need two fields to be part of the group

Hi all,
I have created an Inventory "on Hand" Report that takes the Current Inventory from the Item Entry table and the Sales from Unposted Sales Line table and Transfers in and out from the Unposted Transfer Line table. I have joined the tables
using the UNION ALL function.
My problem is that the Transfer table has two locations whereas the other tables only have one. I am grouping on Location code from the Item Entry table which is equivalent to BOTH Transfer from location and the Transfer to.
As an example, there are 15lbs of inventory for Product A in Location #1 with a transfer out of 15 lbs. The Transfer out is going to Location #2
I don't know how to write the query or set up the group so that it recognizes both the Transfer to and the Transfer From fields
I want the report to look similar to the one below but I can only get it to show one of the locations. Is there some way to use the Union function and have one field in the first table be or equivalent to two fields in another?
Location Code
Item No.
Lbs
Sales Orders
Transfer Out
Transfer In
Available Inventory
Location #1
Product A
15
-15
Location #1
15
-15
Location #2
Product A
15
15
Location #2
15
15

Hi Igor,
You can get a custom sort order added to your IP column without the need for a second column.
Consider that the sorting is done strictly left-to-right across a string in the column. The string can be any valid HTML content. So, you could wrap your string within, say, a SPAN tag and add an attribute to that tag that contains the sort order you need before the text that is displayed to the user. As long as the attribute is correctly structured (that is, all instances are of the same length, for example), then sorting will work correctly. For example:
SELECT
'' || IP || '' Y
FROM ...Now you need to ensure that the PAD_IP_ADDRESS() function returns the correct values. In IP addresses, you have anything from "0.0.0.0" to "255.255.255.255". To get them to sort "numerically", you need to pad one or two digit numbers to get three digit numbers for each value - so, "0.0.0.0" becomes "000.000.000.000". You could create a function to do this - something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION PAD_IP_ADDRESS
pIP IN VARCHAR2
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
vIP VARCHAR2(15);
vTEMP APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
vSEP VARCHAR2(1);
BEGIN
vSEP := '';
vIP := '';
vTEMP := APEX_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(pIP,'.');
FOR x IN 1..vTEMP.COUNT
LOOP
 vIP := vIP || vSEP || TRIM(TO_CHAR(TO_NUMBER(vTEMP(x)),'000'));
 vSEP := '.';
END LOOP;
RETURN vIP;
END;The output from this would look something like:
1.1.1.1
2.255.255.255
10.1.199.098Andy

SQL Query CASE statement using two fields

Hi,
I have two fields. One is called rescategory1, the other is called rescategory2.
I'm not sure if its a CASE statement I need or some sort of WHERE clause but I want to create a query that does the following or something similar:
CASE rescategory2
WHEN rescategory1 = '44' AND rescategory2 = '1' THEN 'Backup'
WHEN rescategory1 = '44' AND rescategory2 = '2' THEN 'Hardware'
END AS [Resolution Sub Category]
Basically, I'm looking to give rescategory2 a value based on that of rescategory1 and rescategory2 combined.
How do I write this?
Cheers
Paul

do you mean this?
rescategory2 = CASE
WHEN rescategory1 = '44' AND rescategory2 = '1' THEN 'Backup'
WHEN rescategory1 = '44' AND rescategory2 = '2' THEN 'Hardware'
END
ie assigning value for rescategory2
