Creating a dropdown and choosing multiple selections

Can I create a dropdown in a form that I can choose multiple selections from so the items I choose will show up like a list?

The only way to do that would be to use a pop-up menu, created using a script, and to tick/untick the items the user selects.

Dropdown list with multiple selections

I need to create a dropdown list in a selection screen and allow the user to select more than one option. Can this be done. I know how to use VRM_SET_VALUES to create a dropdown but it restricts me to selecting only one value. The user should be able to select multiple values. Thank you.

How to Create a DropDown Box in a Selection Screen.

Hi,
I have a question. i.e, How to create a dropdown box in a Selection Screen. Could you please assist me.
Thanks & Regards
Sathish Kumar

hi satish,
The following can assist u to create a drop down ....
Drop down list box can be created in a dialog screen(SE51) as well as selection screen.
The sap list box allows to select a value from the list but we cannot enter our own value in the list box .The value list that will be displayed consists of two
fields TEXT field of TYPE 80(C) and internal KEY field of TYPE 40(C).
In screen painter to create a input/output field into list box we use
'L" as a value for dropdown attribute for the i/o field.
In screen painter to determine the type of method that will be used to fill the value
list we use the attribute value list.
If it is blank the value list will be filled by the first column of the input help assigned to the screen field.This input help can be defined in the ABAP Dictionary, on screen using SELECT,VALUES screen statements or in event POV (PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST ) and the input help that will be passed to the field should consists of 2 columns ,the key column is filled automatically by the system.SAP recommends value list field should be blank.
or
The value can be 'A' meaning that the value list will be filled in the event PBO(PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT) or before the screen is displayed.In this method we use function module VRM_SET_VALUES to fill the values and pass it to the i/o field.
If a function code is attached to the list box the selection of a value triggers a PAI
otherwise PAI will not trigger.
Example
Dropdown list boxes

How can I create a XMP List with multiple selection

Hello,
I try to build my own XMP custom panel. Herefore I need a couple of lists with the possibility for multiple selections (e.g. the choice for one language or multiple languages).
But how is it possible to integrate a list into a panel? There is no XMPList inside the custom folder. I have experimented with the standard mx:list and an array collection for data binding into the list. But how can I write the user selection into an XMP field? Example: In the List the user choose three languages (DE, EN, FR). Is it possible to collect the choice into a string and to write the result into an XMP standard field (e.g. dc:description)?
A further question is, if it's possible to use the "HTTPService" to bind an external xml-file with the languages and other informations into the panel or is it only possible to work with an array collection inside the code?
Here is my code:

Hi Markus,
the FileInfo SDK does not offer a ready-made list component allowing for multi-selection.
So you would need to implement one using the FileInfo SDK API. Your component "XMPList" would inherit from mx:list and would need to implement the XMPRead and XMPWrite events and talk to the XMP using the IXMPAccess interface within those event handlers.
Please have a look at the Programmer's Guide, section "XMP Flex components" and at the API description available in "docs" for further guidanc.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

Applescript: choose file AND folder (multiple selection allowed)

Hi all;
is there any way to select files and folder with and apple script?
I'm trying to write something to compress some stuff and I'd need this stuff to be both files and folders at once…
Thank you!

Plain AppleScript doesn't have that kind of dialog, but you can access various Cocoa methods in Snow Leopard and Lion. In Lion, you create a Cocoa-AppleScript Applet from a template in the AppleScript Editor, where you can use AppleScriptObjC statements. Since the script can only be run in the application and not the AppleScript Editor though, it is a little bit of a pain to troubleshoot - Shane Stanley has written an ASObjC Runner background application that can be run from the AppleScript Editor, if you wanted to check that out.
Running the Cocoa-AppleScript template, you can use something like the following - see the NSOpenPanel Class Reference for other methods and settings:
set defaultDirectory to POSIX path of (path to desktop) -- a place to start
tell current application's NSOpenPanel's openPanel()
setFloatingPanel_(true)
setTitle_("Choose some stuff:")
setPrompt_("Choose") -- the button name
setDirectoryURL_(current application's NSURL's URLWithString_(defaultDirectory))
setCanChooseFiles_(true)
setCanChooseDirectories_(true)
setShowsHiddenFiles_(false)
setTreatsFilePackagesAsDirectories_(false)
setAllowsMultipleSelection_(true)
set theResult to it's runModal() as integer -- show the panel
if theResult is current application's NSFileHandlingPanelCancelButton then quit -- cancel button
set theFiles to URLs() as list
end tell
repeat with X from 1 to (count theFiles) -- coerce the file paths in place
set (item X of theFiles) to (item X of theFiles)'s |path|() as text -- as POSIX file
end repeat
choose from list theFiles
if result is false then quit

Mail imap problems: Mail created random folders and saves multiple drafts

Hi there, I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and set up Mail to imap my two primary email accounts (new to discussion forum and forums in general):
I have two imap accounts set up: Gmail and Network Solutions (my work webmail). Gmail is working fine.
Network Solutions imap account:
- Saves numerous copies of drafts of the same email as I type, and when I try to delete them (select them all, delete, or select all and move to trash), I get a message saying the Network Solutions server on port 143 has timed out. So I have a bunch of drafts that I can't clear.
Mail menu on lefthand side of Mail window looks like:
Mailboxes
Inbox icon with dropdown to
Gmail Inbox icon
Net Sol Inbox icon
Drafts icon with dropdown to
Gmail Drafts icon
Net Sol Drafts icon (this is where all those drafts keep saving and can't be deleted from)
Sent icon with dropdown to
Gmail Sent icon (only about a dozen sent emails are shown here)
Net Sol Sent icon (only about ten sent emails are shown here)
Trash icon with dropdown to
Gmail Trash icon (seems to be all my trash)
Net Sol Trash icon (seems to be all my trash)
REMINDERS
ON MY MAC
RSS
GMAIL drop down to
[Gmail] white folder icon that has the following sub folders:
All Mail (appears to have all mail from gmail in here)
Drafts
Sent Mail (appears to have all sent mail here)
Spam
Starred
Trash
NET SOL (drop down triangle)
Draft folder (empty folder)
locker folder (empty, no idea what this is, did not come from Net Sol)
Sent (does not refresh properly, always missing recent msgs)
Sent Items (empty folder)
Trash
The thing is, that in Network Solutions, prior to imapping with Mail, I had these folders:
Inbox
Deleted Messages
Drafts
Sent
Trash
NOW, after setting up imap to Mail, new folders have appeared in Network Solutions:
Folder Name
INBOX
Deleted Messages (Bolded)
Draft
Drafts
INBOX
Sent Messages (Bolded) (all recent sent msgs are in here now)
Sent (Bolded) (all sent msgs from Nov 6 and earlier are in here)
Sent Items
Trash
If I want to reference an email I sent after Nov 6, I have to log onto my Network Solutions webmail and go to that Sent Messages folder, move them to the Sent folder, then log out and update my Mail, at which point, I can see them on Mail.
I have not made a single folder in Mail -- what's there is a result of me setting up the two imap accounts.
Network Solutions has no idea what that "locker" folder is, it is not a Network Solutions-generated folder, does not appear in my Network Solutions webmail folder list, and I did not make it.
Can anyone help me clean this up, explain these mysterious folders, why I can't delete Net Sol drafts, why I can't get my sent messages that are more recent than Nov 6 into Mail, even though I've been primarily using Mail to send and receive mail for both Gmail and Network Solutions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi. I posted again, and no one has answered either, here is the other post, it's more detailed in scope:
I am having a very strange problem here which started about a week ago, maybe someone can point me in the right direction:
1) I use both gmail and my domain's server email which load into Mail.app. I use gmail because I like their spam filter and I use their SMTP because where I am, my ISP SMTP server isn't very reliable. Gmail solves my outgoing mail problem, but doesn't support showing when mail has been answered and that is a useful feature.
2) My procedure is to open up gmail in my browser, mark and delete the spam (IMAP Account), then close the browser and open mail.app
3) I have a rule in mail.app which moves my gmail to my domain mail Inbox where I organized with folders and subfolders and use many signatures to send different email out to customers. Mail has been very good as you can do quite a lot with it compared to most other email clients for OSX. I do this for three domains, with several email addresses within each domain.
4) In mail.app, I can choose which mailbox to use for sent mail, junk, etc. This way I am sending from my domain, the email response shows and is linked to that mail so I can look for old responses fast and organize things by department. Spotlight or search works fast and perfectly. It's a good solution which I have used for well over a year (whenever gmail released IMAP services), or was, until a week ago.
Problem 1) As of now, when I open the mail account, the domain subfolders which should be below my Inbox are no longer there. If I look lower to the account folder, sometimes the folders show up there, sometimes they do not show up at all, but they are online in my web-based mail with my hosting company. The mails are not lost, but mail.app is not connecting with the host correctly as they appear and disappear randomly.
Problem 2) Every time I open mail.app now, most of my email inbox folders have to download all of the mail and their attachments again, even though I have the boxes in preferences correctly checked. Once the inbox loads all of the mail, then the subfolders disappear. This is very consistent. As long as there is no mail showing in the inbox, then the subfolders are showing correctly. As soon as the inbox is loaded showing mails, then the subfolders either disappear or move.
Problem 3). The mailboxes that my hosting's webmail service creates (like deleted mail, mail to delete, trash, trash delete, whatever, it's a Windows server) keep showing up in Mail. They never did that before. Once I deleted them, I could see them online, but not in mail. All was as it should be. Now they keep coming back every time I reconnect and I often have to reset which mailbox is being used for junk, sent mail, drafts, etc.
Problem 4). This same problem happens on all three of my machines, two being PPC and one Intel, running 10.4.11 and 10.5.5 respectively. The problem started happening on all my machines at the same time. This is also connection from three different ISPs.
Solution? My hosting company says that they have changed nothing in their settings (IMAP uses Port 143 and I do get a time-out error sometimes but not often). They have tried it in Outlook and do not get the same results, they say it's working fine. I have tried to subscribe in Leopard (you can't do this is Tiger, only in Leopard, but Mail.app says I have no subscribed folders, which is not true). The Quota Limits shows the standard Mail.app mailboxes, the Subscription List shows nothing, and no way to change it).
I tried Thunderbird and it connects faster, downloads faster and the folders are OK, but I still get mail folders appearing randomly. Sometimes I get mail folders appearing that I have not ever created with names like "System Mail". Sometimes I get mail boxes which are stored On My Mac which appear on IMAP suddenly. (Also, Thunderbird has poor signature file support, so I would prefer to use Mail, it's a better program overall.)
I have tried rebuilding the mail accounts, have done this, realistically, 25 times. Yesterday I did a complete reinstall of 10.5.5 just because I am at the end of my rope. Now I am about ready to change hosting companies as I am still having the same trouble. I am in the process of archiving all of my mail into Gmail so I can switch hosts if that is the problem. But, I would like to know first if that is actually the problem, since overall I am pretty happy with my hosting company. They are in Arizona and speak my language and they are easy to talk with. However, they do not have a Mac there so they cannot test my situation from their facility.
It's a strange problem in that one, I have used the system fine for well over a year with perfect results. Two, it happens on three different Mac used in three different places (office, home, and another person's home), and three, I have not changed hosting companies, I have been using the same host for two years and they deny changing any settings on their end.
The hosting company has no answer for me, they are not Mac users, and say that it's perfect in Outlook, but it's not actually perfect in Outlook either as mailboxes still appear randomly and sent mail ends up in my inbox randomly even in Outlook. They just don't realize it as they are not watching my mail boxes except when I am on the phone with them.
I am not having trouble with my websites. I do not have this problem with Gmail, only with my domain webmail.
I have to use Windows because of a particular shopping cart system I use, but IMAP systems should be the same on Windows or anything else. Some how, some where, some one has changed some thing. Any idea what and how to solve the problem?
Thanks,
John

Resizing columns and making multiple selections in Pages 5.0

Using Pages 5.0 (using OS X), I am no longer able to resize columns in a table by dragging a selection handle as I could in the old Pages (2009, I think it was). Dragging now adds the adjacent column to the selection. Anyone know how to resize the columns by dragging?
Also, in the previous Pages, I could select multiple noncontiguous words by holding down the command key. Doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know how to do that?

Apple has removed 90+ features from Pages5:

Cut and paste multiple selections to separate layers?

Say you have several items selected with a marquee.
Something like this:
Is there anyway, to have, in this example, all the icons cut and pasted to their own layer?

No, there is no way to do what you want directly. Unfortunately some kind of selection has to be made, so that each item can be lifted off the original layer individually.
You may find that a simple square marquee does the trick. This can be moved quite quickly from one object to the next. The proces of making the marquee, activating the base layer and Command J can all be automated with an Action. You caould also modify you existing selction using lets say Quick Mask in a smilar way - a series of automated steps.

Selecting and Dragging multiple clips - CS6 Sniper mode

With the introduction of ability to select Edit Points, now it's inconvenient to drag multiple selected clips or add clips to selection because in some cases - depending on timeline zoom state and/or clip duration. The edit points are altered instead of the clips, that behaviour drives me nuts. It leads to a necessity to do one of the following actions before selecting and/or dragging multiple clips with comfort:
sniper mode - put the cursor over a place in the selection where the cursor will not indicate Edit Point trimming mode.
to avoid loosing selection when using sniper mode - Group the clips after adding every clip to selection and/or after a dragging operation
dynamically change zoom state so that you will not have to use sniper mode
use copy/cut/paste - may involve a necessity to do additional pre-pasting steps
IMHO, this behaviour should be rethinked.
How fast it was in CS5.5 and older versions:
Please, Premiere Pro Programming Team, especially Tim Gogolin, Steve Hoeg, Peter Lee, Gerry Miller, James Mork, Vivek Neelamegam, Axel Schildan, Jerry Scoggins, Sven Skwirblies, Tod Snook, Jesse Zibble, rethink the behaviour of selecting and dragging clips. Start giving links to beta-versions to other editors too, not only to editors like Philip Bloom.
Selecting edit points is sometimes helpful and sometimes distracting.
To get the best of two worlds (CS6 edit points vs. CS5.5 and older) - a switch could be added to Keyboard Shortcuts list, like the "hidden" Add Clip Marker shortcut.
Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points".
When Shift- or Shift+Alt- key is pressed and some Clip is selected, clicking on an edit point of another clip should add a clip to selection in the same way as previous versions of Premiere Pro did:
To drag clips in legacy sniper-free mode only a switch can help. Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points when Multiple Clips are Selected".
To add comfort to the editing process - selecting/dragging multiple clips - additional switches cannot be avoided. Additionally you may add an option to the Preferences > Trim:
Allow Selection tool to choose Roll and Ripple trims without modifier key
Allow Selection tool to select Edit Points while multiple Clips are selected

With all due respect Kevin, nobody at Adobe has the right to change a program SO drastically. I am also a mouse person, and am MUCH faster using the mouse, vs the keyboard.
When people have invested YEARS into a program like Adobe, they get used to things, how things work, the feel of a program. I really don't see how you all can just change it on a whim. IF you are going to do this, BOTH methods should still work. You cannot just stop the way people are used to editing. You can't just decide to change a program so drastically, that it doesn't feel like a program we have grown to love over many long years. If Adobe on a whole is changing things, just because a few people in your company voice opinions like I've quoted below, it's not the way to go. Adobe should be really putting feelers out there, and seeing how people are really using the program. Things should be getting easier, more powerful, sure that's natural, but you can't just decide to remove things that mouse users do every day. :-(
Upgrading a program, and changing it to this degree, are two different things in my book. I have not yet upgraded, but it is very scary - the things I'm seeing. For one, way way too many bugs. The amount of bugs on so many boards being reported are just beyond comprehension.
And a final note, I for one, am very glad Steven is posting these videos ( I'd like to hear him go through steps though - just watching the video with no audio of what he is doing is not so great, however after watching some of his posts, he's knows what he's doing, and has a good head to think with )
I mostly read posts, but I thought I would voice my opinion, if none of us speak up, nothing will get changed. I'm really hoping that Adobe implements some change in the next revision .5 or whatever it will be called. Reading posts like this one are really depressing. Did you watch Steven's video on a simple task as moving multiple clips around on a timeline ? Doing this with a mouse just isn't going to work for many, removing simple tasks by way of using a mouse would stop me from upgrading.
Please address this in upcoming updates.
Dave.

[Desktop] Select and organize multiple playlists

This is a direct copy of this idea which was originally posted 2 years ago. I wasn't a user then, and this idea has since been made inactive, so I'm resurrecting it. Even just a shift-select on the desktop app would help immeasurably. Here's the original idea:
"I am looking for easy ways to organize my library.
I want to do some housekeeping in my library, but I find the current system of dragging and dropping individual playlists is too time consuming when the number of playlists reach this high.
First of all, there should be a way to select multiple playlists at once and be able to handle multiple playlists the same way as I can handle single playlist (ability to drag and drop, and rightclick w/ a special dropdown menu for multiple selected items).
Ctrl-clicking, shift-clicking and shift+arrowkeys would help greatly.
[Edit] This idea is nearing its 2 year anniversary of no official recognition. Good times! :)
As a sidenote my Spotify library now consists of 1296 playlists."

Thanks @martskre ! Your idea is solid and seemingly easy enough to implement, I have no idea why it's taken 3 years. As loyal Spotify premium users build their libraries over time, we increasingly need streamlined ways to manage these libraries. Selecting multiple playlists to move/copy/delete is the most simple of these. would it be possible to get a rough roadmap or any info as to why this is being held up? Thanks so much for your help!

AppleScript : modify labels for multiple selection of files and folders in Finder ?

As an experienced programmer in Pascal, Excel VBA, ... I am trying to find my way in AppleScript (first steps).
I am trying to build a small script that will run on a keyboard shortcut, and that will toggle the label of selected files and folders (multiple selection ?) in Finder between "purple" and "no label".
Based on a recorded action, I was trying something along the lines of
tell application "Finder"
          Activate
          repeat with oneItem in selection
                         set label index of oneItem to 3
          end repeat
end tell
I am not clear on how to make the script understand that in a multiple selection I want to apply the requested command to each item. In addition, when testing it on one single item, it appears that I can't set the label index property of "selection" ...
Can someone please advise what the correct way is of (a) setting the property of a selected item in the Finder and (b) looping through a multiple selection ?
Thanks in advance.
Philip
P.S. Running Mac OSX 10.8.2 on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and MacMini

Thanks alot, Softwater. In fact, I have been playing around with that and found that the "get" statement in your script suggestion is not even necessary. The script I saved as a Finder Service is now :
tell application "Finder"
          repeat with oneItem in selection as list
                         if label index of oneItem = 0 then
                                        set label index of oneItem to 5
                         else
                                        set label index of oneItem to 0
                         end if
          end repeat
end tell
By assigning a shortcut key to this one, I can now toggle labels.
Additional trick I did is to restrict the applicability of the script to only movie-files (I am using this to change the labels of movies / TV shows on my computer which I still want to see versus the ones that I don't want to see anymore). I noticed during testing that the script would also color folders and drives selected in other finder windows than the one I was working in, so now it only works on movie files which is more what I want.
Great tool, the AppleScript Editor and the Automator. Only a little bit a pitty that finding out about object structure and properties is not very straightforward in the AppleScript Editor (comparing to e.g. the VBA in MS Excel, which has an almost perfect help system and built-in reference). I am not a Microsoft fan in general, but when it comes to MS Excel VBA, I have not seen any built-in help system yet that approaches its usefulness ...
I guess I will be "seeing" you again on this forum ... I am getting the taste of scripting again :-D

Help with POST data if multiple selections are chosen

I've created a form with a menu (list) that includes all 50
states. I'm using the POST option, along with PHP, to process the
form data, which will be emailed to me. The list-menu looks like
this:
http://askdave.info/help/states_menu.gif
and I have "Allow Multiple Selections" checked in the Property
Inspector.
If the user chooses multiple states, I want
EACH of those states to be listed in the email that I
receive. Right now, if I check multiple states, I only get
the very last state that's selected. For example, here's the
email I get after I check 5 different states.
http://askdave.info/help/formdata.gif
Problem--> In this email, only one state is listed
(Hawaii) even though I selected 5 different states. How do I get
the form data to list ALL states that are checked?
Here is what I have:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="process.php">
<input type="hidden" name="required"
value="name,phone,email,states,capital" />
And then for the menu that lists the states, I have:
<label>
<select name="states" size="7" multiple id="states">
<option>All States</option>
<option>Alabama</option>
<option>Alaska</option>
<option>Arizona</option>
<option>Arkansas</option>
and so on...
What am I missing? How do I get the PHP script to send
multiple values, if multiple values are chosen? (I'm new to PHP, so
go easy on me. I can post my code, if necessary.) Is this a PHP
issue, or do I need to add something to the HTML form?

Hi,
>>
I think DynaForm stands for Dynamic Form
>>
this makes some sense ;-) I was just wondering because there
is a pre-made script called DynaForm
here, but
it has a different "logistics" than yours.
However, both "DynaForm" versions are pretty basic, as they
just deal with non-multiple values - form fields like single line
input fields, texareas and non-multiple select´s. Your script
e.g. just loops through all existing form fields using the
"foreach" method:
//Pulls form fields & values.
foreach ($this->post as $field => $value) { // looping
through all form fields
if ( $field == 'required' ) continue;
$this->_addLine($field, $value); // here´s where the
field´s name/value consolidation happens
...and simply consolidates a field´s "value" with its
associated "name". The problem is : this method just works for
fields having just 1 value -- but any "multiple value" form fields
(e.g. your "states" select or checkbox groups which can pass
multiple values as well) actually require a separate "foreach"
treatment within the script, and this hasn´t been incorporated
here.
That said, I suggest using an other pre-made solution like
PHP
Form Mail script that´s capable to handle your multiple
values - scenario innately.

Multiple selection of parameter values (BIP 10.1.3.2)

Hi there,
I'm working with BI Publisher 10.1.3.2 and I'd like to use parameters allowing multiple selection. I've tried it with both data templates and SQL queries ... but I'm not getting it work ...
I've established a simple "Show me department name and id"-example according to my parameter selection (you can select multiple values e.g. Administration, Marketing, Sales ... and the "All"-option is activated as well), based on the HR/OE schema.
Here's just a quick note, where I tested the way the Publisher Engine copes with parameter selection in general
5.6.2
single selection => e.g. Administration
multiple selection => e.g. Administration,Marketing
All => *
10.1.3.2
single selection => e.g. Administration
multiple selection => e.g. 'Administration','Marketing'
All => null
So, in 10.1.3.2 there's been an improvement concerning single quotes - in the case of multiple selection only. I do not know why there are no single quotes for a single selection, but it seems like that's the way it is ...
Well, I've created a simple SQL query as follows:
CASE 1 *
select DEPARTMENT_ID as ID, DEPARTMENT_NAME as NAME
from DEPARTMENTS
where DEPARTMENT_NAME IN (:myParameter)
=> All does not work
=> Single Selection is working
=> Multiple Selection is working
sample output in the case of selecting "Marketing" (single selection):
<TESTINGIN>
<myParameter>Marketing</myParameter>
<LIST_DEPTS>
<DEPTS>
<_MYPARAMETER>Marketing</_MYPARAMETER>
<ID>20</ID>
<NAME>Marketing</NAME>
</DEPTS>
</LIST_DEPTS>
</TESTINGIN>
... and I've tried the same select statement using a data template instead, and then I got another result: both, All and Multiple Selection, do not work (I'm getting back an empty element)
sample (error) output in the case of selecting both "Marketing" and "Administration" (multiple selection):
<TESTINGIN>
<myParameter>'Administration','Marketing'</myParameter>
<LIST_DEPTS></LIST_DEPTS>
</TESTINGIN>
In order to cover the "All"-case ... I manipulated my select statement as follows and used it as SQL query:
CASE 2 *
select DEPARTMENT_ID as ID, DEPARTMENT_NAME as NAME
from DEPARTMENTS
where DEPARTMENT_NAME IN (nvl(:myParameter, DEPARTMENT_NAME))
=> All is working now
=> Singe selection is working
=> Multiple selection is not working any more (ORA-00909: Ungültige Anzahl von Argumenten / illegal amount of arguments)
... using the same select statement within a data template, Multiple Selection is still not working (empty element)
Last, I've tried another select statement, based on an entry of the xml publisher forum:
CASE 3 *
select DEPARTMENT_ID as ID, DEPARTMENT_NAME as NAME
from DEPARTMENTS
where DEPARTMENT_NAME IN (:myParameter) or :myParameter IS NULL
=> All is working
=> Singe selection is working
=> Multiple selection is not working (ORA-00920: Ungültiger relationaler Operator / illegal relational operator)
So, I couldn't find a way that all three possibilities are working ... and using data templates, multiple selection never worked. If I hardcoded the where clause in the data template,
e.g. where DEPARTMENT_NAME IN ('Administration','Marketing'), it worked fine (no matter, whether I place the sql statement within an CDATA section, or not).
Can anyone tell me, what I'm doing wrong here?
While testing my problem, I figured out that there's a difference of generated parameter output ... I just put the parameter in the select list, and depending on whether you use SQL query or data template, you'll get different results:
SQL statement
=> for each parameter value an own parameter
<_MYPARAMETER>Administration</_MYPARAMETER> in the case of single selection
<_MYPARAMETER8093>Administration</_MYPARAMETER8093>
<_MYPARAMETER8094>Marketing</_MYPARAMETER8094> in the case of multiple selection
data Template
=> list of parameter values
<_MYPARAMETER>Administration</_MYPARAMETER> in the case of single selection
<_MYPARAMETER>'Administration','Marketing'</_MYPARAMETER> in the case of multiple selection
Maybe that's the problem? I don't know, this difference how the Publisher Engine copes with parameters just attracted attention to me ...
Alright, I hope it was not too confusing. I would appreciate any help, since here @ the customer's site we need to use data templates inclduing multiple selection in order to establish a context for VPD.
The problems in summary:
- how to write a select statement to include all three possibilites of parameter selection (single selection, multiple selection, All option)
- multiple selection never worked using data templates
Can someone help me here?

hi,
i think you have to use lexical parameters and a package, like this:
<dataTemplate name="departments" dataSourceRef="hr@demo" defaultPackage="bip_departments">
<parameters>
<parameter name="p_location_id" include_in_output="false" datatype="float"/>
</parameters>
<dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="bip_departments.beforeReportTrigger"/>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q1">
<![CDATA[ select d.department_id, d.department_name, d.location_id
                  from departments d
                 &p_where_clause
            order by location_id, department_id]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="LOC" source="Q1">
<element name="location_id" value="location_id"/>
<group name="DEPT" source="Q1">
<element name="department_id" value="department_id"/>
<element name="department_name" value="department_name"/>
</group>
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
with package:
create or replace package bip_departments
as
p_location_id long;
p_where_clause long;
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean;
end bip_departments;
create or replace package body bip_departments
as
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean
is
l_return boolean := true;
begin
if (p_location_id is not null)
then
p_where_clause := 'where (d.location_id in (' || replace (p_location_id, '''') || '))';
else
p_where_clause := 'where 1=1';
end if;
return (l_return);
end beforereporttrigger;
end bip_departments;

VT04 - multiple selection variants possible?

Hello,
When we create shipments "manually" via VT01n, we have 2 different selection variants to add deliveries onto the shipments:
- one variant which selects all deliveries without route schedule also those for which the goods issue date is in the future
- one variant which selects all deliveries with route schedule and where the goods issue date of delivery is set on "Today" or in the past
There is no way to "combine" these 2 variants into 1 variant, because we would miss some deliveries that way
We want to use transaction VT04/VT07 to automatically create these shipments.
But in the selection screen of VT04, you can only set one selection variant (field is not "multiple selectable) to add deliveries and there is no option to set the 2 selection variants we have created above
Are there any other options?
Thanks for your help.
Kr,
Alexander
Edited by: Alexander Vilain on Jan 21, 2011 12:11 PM

Hi Alexander,
They way I interpret your question is, when you use VT01N you have the option of grouping deliveries into one shipment i.e . multiple deliveries into one shipment.
Based on that understanding :
Did you try to use transportation chain option in VT04 to group deliveries.
Click on the "Create Transportation Chain "
And use " Multiple grouping criteria and data options " as required by you.
You can have same shipping type for example truck and group the deliveries as main, preliminary legs etc.
There needs to lot of testing to make sure deliveries are picking up correct and later VT07 to schedule batch job
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks
