Continued variable in tables

Complicated, but ... I don't want a title to appear for table information, but I do want (continued) to appear on following rows that are split. I've created a blank title and inserted the variable Table Continuation. However, I want to modify (Continued) to include a ConceptName and a TaskName to keep users notified as to where they are.
How can I add these paragraph tags to the Table Continuation variable? I've tried <$paratext[ConceptName]> and several other combinations. This results in the second page of the table bearing (Continue) <$paratext and tweaks on that haven't proved successful. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? It seems so easy, but then I suppose I wouldn't be pleading for help!

Are you mixing up FrameScript and FrameMaker? FrameScript is a 3rd party utility tool that works with FM (both 8 and I'm pretty sure with 9 now), and the FDK is from Adobe directly.
"Fairly easily" is determined only "in the eye of the beholder", in other words if you need the capability and you've got the budget to hire a programmer to do it, or you've got the in-house talent to dive into it, then sure, it could be done.
Lots of considerations to think about, though -- I'd suggest taking a look at the Framescript users forum, here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/framescript-users/

Suppressing table continuation variable and other table questions

Hello all,
Is there any way to suppress the table continuation variable from being converted? Is the only way to conditionalize all the occurences in Framemaker?
Also, for some reason, the Framemaker to Robohelp paragraph mapping for my table caption paragraphs aren't being converted properly. Do table captions need to be treated differently from other paragraph tags?
Thanks.
Sue

James, I'm also curious about using a period after the table title, as I can't remember noticing periods after titles in any publications -- is it required by a specific style guide? My Chicago Manual of Style (12th, can't put my hands on 13th or 14th at the moment) does not use periods after titles, an in fact it eschews repeating the title, even. (ref. 12.17)
In FM 7.2 the table continuation variable is a bit schizophrenic, because while the variable content is suppressed (as expected) on the first page of the table, the variable symbol's on-screen horizontal space is not. If the variable's space had been suppressed it would be possible to do
Table 1. XYZ Operation//var//.
and thus have the result that you would like. Very annoying...

Would like Table Continuation Variable added to a paragraph style, such as to a table title

My groups uses both Frame 7.2 and Frame 9 and we would like to include the Table Continuation variable to our table title paragraph tag definition so that we don't have to manually add the variable. Is this possible now? If so, how?
Thanks

Hi Sherri,
I guess it is possible. I am attaching a screen shot you can follow that.
this is for Framemaker 9 and I am not sure about framemaker 7.2
I hope this helps you.,

Table continuation variable: philosophical question

My apologies in advance if this is too off-topic.
The Table Continuation variable (and its companion, the Table Sheet variable) are useful tools. But how
i necessary
are they?
I ask because using the variables involves a certain amount of overhead (particularly the Table Sheet variable, when used in a table footer), and I'm not convinced the effort is worth it. These are just software user guides we're doing here, not aviation specs or military schematics. I can't imagine that our users won't be smart enough to flip the page to see if there's more information.
Within my current group there are opposing forces on the necessity of using these variables. Does anyone here know of any studies into this? Or do any of you have any particular insight that will drive this standoff one way or another?
Thanks!

Ed:
I find that the optimal place for a table continuation variable is in the table's caption, if the table's design includes a caption.
Alternatively, I place it in one of the columns in a table's heading. In this case, I place it in one or the table's wider columns at the extreme left or right side of the table; for example, a "Description" column. A wide column ensures that FrameMaker will properly display the variable...
I generally choose to use table continuation variables because I assume that a reader of the technical documentation I create will quite probably "dive bomb" into the middle of a doc looking for something; the table continuation variable helps them recognize that the table they've dived into begins on a preceding page...
Cheers & hope this helps,
Riley

Using variables in table constaraints

Hi,
I am facing problem in using global variables in table constraints. It is giving error "911 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00911: invalid character".Since I was not able to use project variable s,I have used global variables.
following is the code
insert into DEV_TGT.E$_TEST_TGT
     ERR_TYPE,
     ERR_MESS,
     CHECK_DATE,
     ORIGIN,
     CONS_NAME,
     CONS_TYPE,
     C1,
     C2
select
     'F',
     sysdate,
     '(161666)TEST_2.TEST_TO_TETS_TGT',
     'CHK',
     'CK',
     C1,
     C2
from     DEV_TGT.I$_TEST_TGT TEST_TGT
where     not      (
          TEST_TGT.C1=#GLOBAL.V_LOAD_ID
          )

Hi,
Did you refreshed or Assigned that variable before using in interface ?
Flow :-
Assgin/Refresh Variable -> interface (with contrsaint using variable)
Also,
If constarint is not an integer please use quotes ( '#GLOBAL.V_LOAD_ID' )

Global variable (internal table)

Hello Experts,
how can I create a global variable (internal table) so that I can fill in inside WDDOINIT and later within another
method inside the view.
Thx in advance
Best Reagards
ertas ilhan

Hi,
Go to attribute tab and declare Your variable there.
You can access that variable in the following way in another method as well.
to use that variable use following syntax.
wd_this->variable_name
If you will declare the variable in component controller and define as public.
then you can access this in all the views of component.
to access that use following syntax.
wd_comp_controller->variable name.
I hope it helps.

Rohit

A way to find as to a variable from table TAVRV is used in which program?

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to find as to a variable from table TAVRV is used in which of the variants and in what programs. Example: can we find a variable ZZ_AAAA_ACTUEL (from table TVARV) is used in which variants / programs?
I want maintain one variable and i will be sure that not affect others programs.
Regards.

Hi Salhi
open your table in SE11 and click on that variable, then there is a option 'where used list' in your application tool bar
click on that option, it will give you a small pop up window from where you can select in which options you want to search for that variable.
i hope this will work for you
Thanks

Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition

I have a little class that I wrote to apply a XSLT file to a XML using Oracle XML Parser.
Here is the code:
XSLProcessor processor = new XSLProcessor();
String sInputXSL = "d:/xsl.xsl";
String sInputXML = "d:/xml.xml";
File fXSL = new File(sInputXSL);
URI uri = fXSL.toURI();
URL url = uri.toURL();
XSLStylesheet stylesheet = processor.newXSLStylesheet(url); (*)
When I execute it, I get the following error on the line (*)
XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
oracle.xml.xslt.XSLException: XML-22050: (Error) Duplicate variable 'altova:table' definition.
at oracle.xml.xslt.XSLStylesheet.flushErrors(XSLStylesheet.java:1848)
The XSL file is a XSL file that was generated by Altova Stylevision.
I opened the XSL to watch is content and there is in dead several declarations of altova:table variable:
<xsl:variable name="altova:table">:
The XSLT is valid because when I execute the transformation with java.xml.Transformer class it works.
What can I do to solve the problem?

Please don't cross-post your questions.

Whats the difference betweeen passing the table variable and table valued parameter?

Hi Everbody
Can someone one tell me what's the difference between passing a table variable and table valued parameter to a stored procedure or function? Can both be used to pass a table to a stored procedure/function?
Regards
Regards

They are essentially the same. What we call a table variable is a local
variable. A table-valued parameter is an incoming parameter to the
procedure. The only difference is that the parameter is readonly.
When you call a stored procedure, you can pass a table variable as the
actual parameter. Or a table-valued parameter that you pass on.
CREATE PROCEDURE nisse_sp @tvp sometype READONLY AS
DECLARE @local someothertabletype
EXEC pelle_sp @tvp, @local

Connecting Query variable with Table Values

Hi all,,
I'm trying to connect a query variable to table column contents. The problem is, there is an additional Date as input which is single value. As a result, the query does not get executed. It gives an error that it expects a single value for the date field.
Am I doing something wrong. Please guide.
Regds,
Srinivasan.

Hi Srinivasan,
Sorry but i didnt got exactly what you are trying to do? You have query to which you are passing multiple values from a table. or are you selecting a single row in the table and passing it to the query? How is the variable defined in the query?
Thanks,

Customer exit variable - internal table in BEX

Hi,
i am running a report and using variables in it.
The report runs over a info cube. There are few challenges in it.
One of the variable is posting date, and when user enters posting date i need to negate it with current system date.
If the negated value is greater than 28 then i need to exclude documnet type 'YG' and display the query, else i need to include the dcumnet type 'YG' and document type ' '. The above logic can be well implemented via a customer exit variable(for posting date) using an internal table. We have internal tables like C_T_DATA which is used in data source enhancement, which help us to implement our own desired logic.
Do we have such kind of internal tables, based on which the report output (result set) is derived?
i know that we have l_t_range and e_t_range, but dont know their usage, some one can explain in detail about them?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Selva & Lakshmin,
The code given by Selva is almost correct . If my understanding is clear , you also wanted to include document type ' ' when the negated value is less than 28 .
Modification in Selvas Code :
Variable 'V_DOCTYP' must be of type Multiple Single Values.
DATA : V_DATE LIKE SY-DATUM.
DATA : V_DAYS TYPE I.
if i_step = 2.
when 'V_DOCTYP'.
READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'ZV_PDATE''.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
V_DATE = loc_var_range-low.
ENDIF.
V_DAYS = SY-DATUM - V_DATE.
IF V_DAYS > 28.
l_s_range-low = 'YG'
l_s_range-sign = 'E'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ELSE.
l_s_range-low = 'YG'
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
clear l_s_range.
l_s_range-low = ' '.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Hope the above reply was helpful.
Kind Regards,

Using a Variable for Table Name with a cursor

If you are going to have a table name or a column name as a parameter, then you have to open the cursor dynamically. The following example uses Native Dynamic SQL (NDS) to open a ref cursor dynamically. I also eliminated the group by clause, since it is intended for use with aggregate functions and you weren't using an aggregate function. Also notice that there are some other differences in terms of defining variables and fetching and so forth.
