Control the output order of a CFSearch

What is the proper procedure to take the return from a CFSearch and set the order based on one of the fields to be displayed in numerical, alphabetical, whatever?
I understand how to use the result of the CFSearch to index into another source but that's one record at a time. I want to re-order the cfsearch output to be in a defined order rather than the returned order based on ranking if I understand the process correctly.
What to do?

Basically we want to search a large inventory database and the client would like the output in an Alpha format. I figured that the verity search would be the easiest way to parse through the data as well as allow for using wildcard chars.
Ah right. I probably would not use Verity to do that. I'd use your DB's free-text search capabilities for this sort of thing, and do the work on the DB rather than getting Verity to drag it all out, then use CF to re-order it.
I can get what I want except that I don't quite understand how to take the cfsearch return and then re-sort the data.
This has been covered in previous responses: query on query will effect this. However I don't think Verity & QoQ is the best approach to the requirement, now that I better understand what the requirement is.

User exist for controlling the OutPut type in sales order

Hi
Is their any exist which controls the output type based on header data of the order? VA01/02.
Best regards
Satish Kumar K

Hi,
IN the VOFM routine you can use the structure KOMKBV1 which will be populated with the sales org (VKORG), division (SPART) and order type (AUART).
Example
SY-SUBRC = 4.
IF KOMKBV1-VKORG = '0001' AND
KOMKBV1-SPART = '12' AND
KOMKBV1-AUART = 'ZXXX'.
SET THE return code to 0 to propose the output type.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps..
Thanks,

Challenge: Controlling the output stream of includes within iterative tags

Problem:
How can you control the output stream of an iterative tag that is making an include on each iteration (either by using the jsp include tag or by a custom tag that does an pageContext.include(). Example of the first of such a case could be:
<wf:iterator name="...">
<div>
<jsp:include page="test.jsp" flush="true"/>
</div>
<wf:iterator>
I now want to see the following output:
<div>
..content of jsp file 1
</div>
<div>
...content of jsp file 2
</div>
etc....
However what I AM seeing is that the jsp content is flushed to the output stream before the divs like this:
...content of jsp file 1
...content of jsp file 2
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
See!? How is that and what can I do to control the output stream??
Thanks

This is a stab in the dark, but have you tried writing your div tags out using the JSP directive:
out.println("<div>");
or
<%="<div>"%>
It looks like a bug in the iterator. I'd suggest you try setting flush to be false, but I know that's not supported yet (unless you've updated your libraries) ...

Controlling the output when purhcsae order item is deleted

HI
Here is our scenario, we have two outputs automatically determined ( by condition records) when a purhcase order is changed, now when we delete the purchse order item we want only one put type to be triggered and not the other one.
NEU - When the PO line item is deleted we want trigger this output
NEU1 - When the PO line item is deleted we dont want to trigger this output
Obviously we cannot use "Fields Relevant to Printouts of Changes" config to deactivate the EKPO-LOEKZ field as it impacts both the outputs.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Thx,
Krishna.

Hi Mohan,
Thanks for the reply, we did try to use that requiremnet option but then how do you know if the purchase order item is being deleted? You have this field in the routinue KOMKBEA-DRUVO which gets pouplated with '2' means change.
Obviously you cannot do a select query on EKPO because the PO is not yet updated at this point of time.
Thx
Krishna.

How to control the output types in PO MESSAGES

Hi Friends,
As per the requirement I need to control the message in Standard PO(ME22N). Scenario is like below.
1. I am modifying some field value in PO and saving it. Then clicking on MESSAGES tab. Now I am seeing some output types are adding in EDIT mode.
2. Requirement is , when ever user changed one particular filed(Order acknowledgement ) and saved it, then he doesnu2019t want to see the message in EDIT mode.
Could you please suggest me the way? Any user exit is there to reach this? Please do the needful.
Thanks,
Kumar

hi,
its may be useful for u.
In the release strategy,if the indicator changeablity is 1 the system will not allow you to take repeat out put.
Solution is that you have to change the release indicator changeability to 6(SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Purchase order>Define release procedure for purchase order>Release indicator>Changeability).
Another option is that in the message output of the PO in further data change despatch time to 3 and take a repeat out put.
Also check,
SPRO > MM > PO > Release Procedure for PO > Release indicator > Changeability of Purchasing Document During/After Release as 2 for Release ID - G and save
And then Create go to chage mode of PO and repeat the messages

How to Control the Sorting Order of iPhone Contacts from Outlook?

In a series of editing steps we've loaded ca. 1,900 personal and business contacts from Outlook into a 1st gen iPhone with 2.0.1 software on it. To our surprise we found that while most of the entries were listed and sorted by company, certain entries were listed and sorted by the person's name. It looked random and there didn't seem to be any way to control it on the iPhone.
While troubleshooting the problem we synced up the iPhone with an empty Address Book on a MacBook Pro and found that the sort order flag was indeed set differently on these entries. When we changed the sorting flag of a contact in the Mac's Address Book to "Company" it also changed on the iPhone after the next sync.
Problem: In our business environment it is impossible to switch to Macs for contact administration. We need to do it from Outlook. This is one of several features needed for the adoption of iPhones.
Question: Is there a way to control this flag on the individual iPhone contact entries from Outlook Contacts?

Well, I think we figured it out.
Outlook doesn't offer a sorting flag on person or company name. Instead it uses a separate "File As" string. The problem with our contacts was that this "File As" string was frequently edited to be something else than exactly the personal or company name, e.g. it was set to an abbreviated company name. Once we set the "File As" to any of the defaults offered, i.e. person or company name, the sorting flag in iPhone was properly set through the synchronization.
Obviously, the application logic compares the content of these fields in Outlook and decides how to set the flag. If it can't find the company name in "File As" it defaults to person.
This was an expensive holdup for us. It cost us 2 man days to figure it out. Is there any place where such application logic is described?

Can we control the output screen area of alv grid list

Hi All,
can we control the screen area of grid control in alv's , not using ooalv's. By default grid list is displaying in the whole screen, but i want to display this grid list in specific area in output screen , not in full screen, how to set these screen area for this grid control. Please let me know.

Hi,
If you use the following parameters
I_SCREEN_START_COLUMN             = 0
I_SCREEN_START_LINE               = 0
I_SCREEN_END_COLUMN               = 0
I_SCREEN_END_LINE                 = 0
you will get the output in the size expected but it will be in the form of a pop up box and a blank screen at the back and user action like cancel etc will take you back to the selection screen.

Controling the PM ORDER tabs and subscreen

Hello
We are trying to customize PM ORDER.
We looked for a way in which we could control the appearance of tabs and subscreens in customization and found none.
We found that ther is a BADI IWO1_SCREEN_MODIF that seems to be for that purpose.
Is it the only way or there is a way like when customizing notification.
Second question is about the notification fields when creating a PM ORDER that creates a notification. We have not found any way of controling the tabs and subscreens.

Hi Shlomo Assouline,
GuiXT is a SAP Partner software integrated with Standard SAP.
This helps in Changing the Field names, Location, Screen Layout etc with out any program and with simple syntax.
It gives amazing results if done properly. It has a big drawback too. It is PC specific & cannot be controlled based on who logins etc. But if you want same screen through out your Business the small TXT file created can be copied into other PC (personal Computer) as well.
For detailed information on this see the link www.synactive.net. It has some Tutorials too there.
The path in SAP to activate it is Click on "Customise Local Layout" the button adjacent to Help button after you logon.
Under that you will see "Activate GuiXT". From there on you can proceed. When you do not require switch it off as it is Toggle Button.

How to control the output fields in ALV

Hi Pals,
I have a Z program which outputs around 400 characters length. It is working fine when we run in foreground(online).. But i have the problem with the length of the output of the report when i run in BACKGROUND mode. That is, only 255 characters are being displayed.
So, i have decided to supress some of the unwanted output fields being diplayed, so that the total output length becomes 255 characters.
How can i handle this situation in the ALV's?
Someone please send me some sample code.
Thanks in advance,
Ram.

Hi
   Better create the Layout Variants with the desired columns.
ALV is providing that functionality.
Use
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4'
    EXPORTING
      is_variant = alv_variant
      i_save     = 'A'
    IMPORTING
      es_variant = alv_variant
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found = 2.

Controlling the sort order for a column?

I have a column which uses strings that I want to sort on. But, I don't want to do simple string sorting. Can I effect the sort order somehow? Maybe enumerate the values and assign integers to them?
For example, I want to use Low, Medium, and High. Or maybe: L-, L, L+, M-, M, M+, H-, H, H+
Any pointers on how to do this?

Todd,
Not knowing what you're trying to sort, it is difficult to make specific suggestions. Basically, two approaches come to mind. 1) start the lines of the column you want to sort with some type of sort code or 2) place that sort code in another column and sort on two columns - possible hiding the one with the codes.
The next problem is designing a code that fits your situation. In the example you gave something like 1L-,2L,3L,...,8H,9H may work because there are only 9 categories. If more than 9, two digit numbers may work but remember to use leading zeros to pad single digit numbers.
The code could also be alpha characters with relevance such as "Auto", "Clot", "Food", "Hous", "Misc", etc. But again, if these alphabetic categories are not in the order you like you may have to precede them with some sequence device to get what you want. Maybe something like "aFood", "bClot", "cHous", etc. would work. Designing a code applicable to a given situation that one can easily remember is not always easy.
Hope this gives to something to think about and if you care to give more details you'll surely get some specific suggestions.

How do I control the photo order in albums transfered to the ipad?

I sync a file of photo albums from my Mac to my iPad. Sometimes the order is alphabetic based on the name of each photo (desired) and sometimes the order is some other order perhaps based on when the picture was taken. How do I ensure that the photos come in in alphabetic order? (i.e. Haiti-101, Haiti-102...)

iOS: Understanding photo sorting
And the article states .....
If you are using iPhoto or Aperture for Mac OS X, your photos automatically sort on your device in the same order in which they are sorted in iPhoto or Aperture. Changes made to the sorting of your pictures in your iPhoto or Aperture albums and events are reflected on the device after syncing.

Specifying the output order of elements in XML using Oracle Reports.

Hi,
I am developing an Oracle Reports report, using Report
Builder 6.0.8.17.0 on WinNT. The requirement is that the report
will only ever be used to generate XML output.
However, due to a bug in the XML Parser at the other end,
it's necessary to have certain elements appear in the XML before
others.
e.g. This simplistic example shows XML output from Reports
runtime, which looks something like this:
<DEPT id="10">
<NAME>Government</NAME>
<EMP id="4435">
<SAL>12000</SAL>
<ENAME>Harry Boland</ENAME>
<EMP>
<EMP id="8643">
<SAL>21000</SAL>
<ENAME>Michael Collins</ENAME>
<EMP>
<EMP id="9900">
<SAL>47000</SAL>
<ENAME>Eamonn de Valera</ENAME>
<EMP>
<LOCATION>
<ADDRESS type="street">Kildare St.</ADDRESS>
<ADDRESS type="city">Dublin</ADDRESS>
</LOCATION>
</DEPT>
However, the application that is parsing the XML fails due to
the fact that it expects the LOCATION element to be the first
within the DEPT element. i.e. before the NAME or any of the EMP
elements.
The way I have developed this is by creating a master query
which creates a master group, G_DEPT, with two column, ID and
NAME, and two detail queries and corresponding detail groups, EMP
and LOCATION. These groups are joined to the master using the
datalink facility in Report Builder.
Is there any way in Report Builder I can specify that the
LOCATION element is to be output for each DEPT element before any
other element belonging to DEPT?
Thanks,
Iibhear.

The order of the elements is determined by the order of the columns in the Data Model. Note that you can also use the "Exclude from XML output" property to completely omit columns form the XML output.

How to controle the output of a key figure based on an attribute

As part of following up on a select range of materials during their launch period a report is needed, where the key figures are controlled by a specific attribute.
The attribute is called End Launch Control Date and it holds the specific day where the product goes from launch to replenishment. When the product goes into repleneshment it is no longer relevant to follow up on.
The follow up list contains around 80 materials (SKU's) and the challenge is that they have different End Launch Control Dates.
So, I would like to design a report that does the following:
1) When drill on material, the key figures only show values before the End Launch Control Date for the specific material. After this date, the key figure should state either zero or blank cells.
2) The key figures should not be controlled by a specific date in the prompt, because the End Launch Control date is different for each material.
Does anyone have experience in constructing this functionality?

Hi,
you could maybe do this with using formula variables and and IF statement in the keyfigure you want to be blank after a certain date
basically you want/need to compare a date (which date would that be, one in the columns or smth?) with the end launch control date and if this date is bigger then this leave KF 0.
so you need to create a formula using two formula variables (of type replacement path and being replaced by the 2 dates) and compare these two in the formula. Then you use the outcome of this (which should be 0 or 1) in a new formula with the keyfigure (statement true * KF ) + (statement false * KF). This will give a value when comparison is ok and 0 when it is not ok.
This description might be not complete and bit short but I dont have the time to fully look it up, please let me know if you didnt understand the idea behind it.
