Creating a "space" for insertables characters in cross references

Is it possible to create a cross reference that has a "space" where text can be inserted later? I am thinking of a reference like "see No. __ in Fig.42 on page 8-3" with __ being the space where the number from the image can be inserted. My idea for a cross reference would be like this:
see No. <$inputChar><$inputChar> in Fig. <$AbsNumExkl> on page <$chapnum>-<$SeiteNum>. The tag <$inputChar> being a space for an insertable character. Is such a thing possible in FrameMaker or is there even a default tag in FrameMaker for such a "space"? I haven't a clue what I should be looking for to find a solution, hence posting my question here.
Any help or ideas would be very mucha ppreciated!
Thanks

Hi Matt,
and thanks first of all for your reply. Indeed I am looking to "call up" a call reference in an image. I have a document where the images have call-outs IN the images (bitmaps). I have only just now started to use FrameMAker 11 and i just stumbled across the Hottspot feature (I am not sure when the Hotspot feature was included) and will delve into that sometime when I have the time.. (harhar), hoping I migt find a work around to meet my needs with that.
Anyhow - for now, my prob is that I wish to make a reference to a call-out number in an image.
The cross refernce is (e.g.) "see No. __, Fig. 42, Page 87".
The Xref I CAN refer to without problem naturally is "Fig. 42, Page 87", but as you can see, I had hoped to be able to "be lazy" and have FM automatically also put down "see No." for me but leaving some space, where it is possible to insert text, meaning to leave a blank of some sorts in the "code" of the cross reference. Theoretically the Xref would be interrupted where text could be inserted (in the example fill in the "__" in my example).
Does makle that a little clearer?
As I had to meet my deadline I did put down my very own individual "No. XYZ" each time before setting the cross reference but it is far from ideal.
On the whole, I find working with images with call-outs is tedious in FrameMaker.- I would absoloutely LOVE a feature where it would be possible to work on different layers.
I have a few ideas I would like to try out and fiddle around with to find a solution for my problem. Unfortunately I am not properly trained on FM itself, I have been through all other DTP tools starting with Quark and PageMaker, Indesign etc. I am HTML-savvy, dabbled with Javascript, php and some XML, but the structured Framemaker is still only an untouched yet intriguing concept.
If any more ideas come your way, or if you have any recommendations for my to may be find work arounds let me know!
Thanks
still slightly
puzzled but 4ever hoping

TS2755 How to I delete messages(Saved) so that I can create enough space for my update?

How to I delete messages(Saved) so that I can create enough space for my update?

If by "update" you mean you are trying to update iOS, then the way to do this is to use iTunes on your computer to perform the update.
Plug your iPhone into (the current version of) iTunes on your computer. Let it sync. Then do "Check for Updates" from the iPhone's summary page in iTunes.

Help me in creating a Trigger for Insert and Update Options

Hi
Please help me in creating a Trigger .
My requirement is that after insert or update on a Table , i want to fire an event .
I have started this way ,but doesn't know how to fully implement this .
say i have a dept table
CREATE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
AFTER INSERT ON Dept
BEGIN
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES("123","Kiran");
END DepartmentTrigger;
Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .
Thanks in advance .

Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .Add "Or Update". ;-)
Here are a few suggestions, but you definitely need to refer to the manual page that the previous poster suggested.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
AFTER INSERT Or Update ON Dept
BEGIN
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(:new.Dept,'DEPT ADDED OR CHANGED');
END DepartmentTrigger;
The "Or Replace" means you can replace the trigger while you're developing without having to type in a drop statement every time. Just change and rerun your script, over and over until you get it right.
Adding "Or Update" or "Or Delete" makes the trigger fire for those events too. Note, you may want seperate triggers in different scripts and with different names for each event. You have to decide if your design really does the same thing whether it's an insert or an update.
:new.Dept is how you would refer to the changed vale of the Dept column (:old.Dept is the prior value). I changed the double quotes on the string in the VALUES clause to single quotes.

Creating blank space for nesting text images etc

Hi all,
I have a page where I have inputted a background image but i
need to create two areas for text and images. What is the best
method for making a white background to nest these two things?
Basically, I need to contruct a box...
Cheers

You would attach the background image to the body tag so it's
visible on
every page.
You then need to decide how to layout your page... be it with
tables or
divs.
eg: Insert a table on the page, give it a white background
color (or
whatever color) center it and then add your text and or
images into the
cells as required.
The following is code for a very basic centered table
structure. Copy and
paste it into a new DW window and see how you go. Change the
path in the
styles in the head of the document to show your own
background image and
take it from there :-)
I have a few examples of using background images here:

Creating a script for inserting images

I am new to the scripting concept, so please forgive me when I use incorrect terminology.
I would like to create a script that will automatically place images in my InCopy document. Basically I want to type the names of image files in an InCopy document then run a script that will replace the name of the file with the actual image (either as an embedded image or as an image in a graphics frame, although the graphics frame might not work if the document isn't linked to an InDesign document.)
I'm assuming I'd have to identify the image name in some way (slashes or something before and after) and during the script I'd have to identify where to find the given images, such as which folder they are in.
Is this possible in InCopy?
Eventually, these InCopy documents will be used in InDesign. Would it be better/faster to use a script to import these images into InDesign instead of InCopy?
(In case the information is important, the images are all either .tif files or .eps files.)
Also, how do I find someone who can write this script for me? I'm assuming there are freelance programmer people out there... how do I find one?
Thanks for any advice/help you can give me!

this is ok, this i understand now. But where to tell which schema for which user?I don't understand this question. You create a synonym in your own schema for the object you want a synonym for...
so instead of referencing
select * from scott.empyou would create a synonym for scott.emp, so you can do
select * from emp

How can I disable creating some type of Element Tags in Cross Reference?

Hi,
I'm using FM 10.
I'm working with cross reference. I'm trying forbid creating reference for some Element Tags, when a new reference is inserting.
FM Documentation says, that notification FA_Note_PreInsertElement takes iparm value as an ID of the inserted structural element.
But when I try to get some more information from this ID nothing works.
If any one can provide me solution it will be great!
Regards,
Kate
[Thread moved from FM general discussions]

When new elements get inserted, they initially exist in limbo. The FA_Note_PreInsertElement notification always gives the same iparm (2A000000 hex in FM12, probably the same for earlier versions). However, the sparm is the element name, such as Para or XRef. You could use this to determine if a cross reference element is being inserted. You could then get the text selection, and hence the context into which the element is being inserted. This might be sufficient for you to detect whether or not you want to permit the operation.
Otherwise, as Russ says, it is only when the FA_Note_PostInsertElement notification is raised that you get a valid ID for the element, and can get any further information about it.
If you want to see what other notifications you might trap, I have a script I can supply. It claims all notifications, and outputs their details to the console:
the name of the notification is always printed
if the associatd object is valid, it is assumed to be a book or document, and a summary is printed
if the sparm is non-null, it is printed
if the iparm is non-zero, it is printed, with further interpretation for certain notifications.
I find this really useful to see when and how I can get at FrameMaker.
To stop running the script:
Open the Script Library pod (File > Script > Catalog)
Find and select the script (if necessary, toggle through the View Scripts radio buttons)
Click Unregister.
The necessary disclaimer: I provide this script "as-is", with no support or warranty. I will endeavour to act on reported bugs, but I make no promise. If you are going to run this script on sensitive data, please make a backup beforehand.
I'd add the script to this reply if the forum software would let me, but I get an error. I guess the script is either too long, or it contains a character sequence that looks like an injection attack. Nor can I see any way to add an atachment.

Creating a header for rows/columns in cross-tab with syntax

Hi,
The issue is creating strings for rows or columns' headers. How can I create a formula field which contains more than one seperate string. Such as "aaa", "bbb" and "ccc" are headers and they should be in seperate columns. In short, they will behave like characteristics of one of my query's field but they are just headers of the columns.
..............aaa...bbb...ccc....
row1.......x.......x........x.....
row2.......y.......y........y.....
Also there is another issue about the formulation again. Is there any operator that does the same job as " \n" which is used in C languages to break the line?
before:
aaabbb
after:
aaa
bbb

Hi Carl;
Firstly, thanks for answering my question. To explain my problem there are two options ahead(for my first question); first one is writing down the actions step by step, the second one is posting an image file(jpeg etc) to visualize it. I think the first one will be enough. If not tell me
Step 1- Create a cross-tab and right click and select cross-tab expert.
Step 2- Click the button "New Formula" and write down any word(such as "Sales") between two -"- sign to make it string.Then save and close.
Step 3- Drag and drop the created formula to "columns" section and fill the other necessary sections with your database's(such as xtreme.mdb which is famous for crystal users) fields.Don't forget to add another column value to "columns" section, since our formula has no link to database.
Step 4- Then click OK to save the changes and lets preview the cross-tab.The result will have one top column and his child or children(that depends on your data). And this top column is behaving like a header not a field.
Now turn the second step but write down a formula for 2 columns or more.For exmple "Sales" and "Profit".So the result will have 2 top columns and their child/children.
My question is "what is the formula for 2 or more columns?"
Also I couldn't get the answer for my second question. What is the meaning of expressions "\c" and ChrW(13)?

Why you have to pass 14 parameters for DELETE and UPDATE? Do you have any Primary Key? If you do NOT have primary key in your table then in case you have duplicate information, SQL will update both or delete them together. You need to provide DDL of
you table. What are the data types of fields?

Creating a button for inserting into a table

What I can't do, because I've never needed to, is to create in a page (where I have a Interactive report) a button that when is clicked performs a simple sql (for example an insert into a table using some page item values).
How can I do it?
Thanks

Here are some of the steps:
1) Create the button.
2) Then right click on the button name and select Create Dynamic Action
3) Give the DA a name, click next
4) On the "When" Step, Event should already be "Click" and the button name should be filled in
5) For Condition, you would have a condition for when you want the button display. Say, if your page items have a certain range of values then display this button. No condition means the button is always displayed.
6) For the "True Action" Step, for Action select "Execute PL/SQL Code"
    [There are other ways to do this, but this is straight-forward for me.]
7) The in the PL/SQL Code block enter say:
Begin
INSERT INTO EMP (EMPNO, ENAME, HIREDATE)
          VALUES (:P6_EMPNO, 'MARK1970', :P6_HIREDATE);
COMMIT;
END;   --- You would likely make them all page item variables
8) Here the part I'm not 100% sure of.
    For "Page Items to Submit", name the page items used in YOUR QUERY -- in my example these are P6_EMPNO,P6_HIREDATE   (Note no use of & or : or . here)
    Hmm. Start by putting nothing in the "Page Items to Return".   If that fails, then try the same page items P6_EMPNO,P6_HIREDATE there as well.
[ I'm too lazy to go run this down at the moment.]
9) I think that's it.
Howard

Less white space for Insert image

Eliminate some vertical white space on the Insert Image window.
Sometimes this large window runs off the bottom of my browser window. I have to scroll down past all the vertical white spce to click on the insert image button.

if all you need is have mapviewer render the style and place it next to your theme control, you can probablly just issue a regular map request with only 1 feature and specify the style to be used on that feature. For instance, if you just want to show the M.STAR marker style, you can issue a request containing only the center point and specify the render style for the center point as M.STAR. you can also specify the exact width/height you want for the final 'map'. Yes if you issue a legend-only request mapviwer adds white space to it and ignores the width/height attributes.
finally, we will add your last two items into our wish list. thanks.

Creating disk space for holding ASM diskgroups

Hi
I want to migrate my database to ASM .
i havn't any free space in my hard drive .so i created a /devices in my / .
so how can i asign it to diskgroups and start installing ASM

You are a little bit off track there. You do kinda need some storage to present to ASM.
have a read of:

How do I create a storedprocedure for inserting records using UserId?

micah D

Authentication and interaction are two seperate topics.
How are you managing your authentication? Via SQL Server? Inside your app? Using Active Directory?
The insert proc itself isn't a big deal. You'll have to provide the user a form within your app to submit the data, and probably pass it to your proc as variables:
CREATE PROC createCustomer (@firstName VARCHAR(30), @lastName VARCHAR(30), @phone VARCHAR(15), @address1 VARCHAR(30), @address2 VARCHAR(30), @city VARCHAR(30), @state VARCHAR(30), @zip VARCHAR(10), @userID BIGINT)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO myCustomerTable (firstName, lastName, phone, address1, address2, city, state, zip, userID)
VALUES (@firstName, @lastName, @phone, @address1, @address2, @city, @state, @zip, @userID)
END
This is assuming of course, that the information will be passed from your app to the proc using something like:
createCustomer @firstName, @lastName, @phone, @address1, @address2, @city, @state, @zip, @userID

hi while creating a user you are having very few options like specifying default tablespace, temporary tablespace, allocating quota on tablespaces and setting profile etc.
in your case while creating/after creating you need to allocate quota on the corresponding tablespaces where you are creating objects(tables).
SQL> create user myuser identified by myuser
default tablespace mytbs
temporary tablespace temp
quota 10m on mytbs
quota 20m on tb1
password expire
profile myprofile;
the quota you will specify is based on data growth of the table. for fastly growing tables, you require more quota.

Need to create procedure for insert tax line into ra_interface_lines_all

Dear
I need to create a procedure for insert a tax line into ra_interface_lines_all against the line type "LINE".
after inserting the record i will run the auto invoice program to see the changes. kindly share how i can achieve through procedure.
scenario:-
after order dispatch workflow back ground run and data populated in ra_interface_lines_all where interface line id is null there i need to insert tax line against multiple orders.
I know the join. when line type = 'LINE' then tax line must have link_to_line_id of the line type line. my question is this when order number change how i can insert tax line against the line type line.
