Date Entry Fields

Hi,
We are trying to improve the functionality of the Forte date entry
fields. Currently you can set the template to allow either 2-digit or
4-digit year entry. If you enter an invalid date Forte will display an
error message telling you this when you tab off the field.
Does anyone know if it is possible to disable this error message?
What we want to do is have a date entry field that accepts 2 or 4 digit
year. If you enter the date as 01/12/00 the system will assume you mean
2000 and display 01/12/2000. If this is not what you meant you can
re-enter the date as 01/12/1900. Is this possible with the Forte
widgets?
Regards,
Jace.

Jason,
Yes this is possible. You need to create a CustomDateTimeData class(inherits
from DateTimeNullable, DateTimeData, DateTimeDomain depending on your needs)
which you override FillString and SetValue methods. Using template
functionality is not flexible enough for your needs, so the FillString
method will make sure that the Value of the CustomDateTimeData is always
shown a standard way on Windows. The SetValue method will have the
intelligence to decide on how to store the entered value depending on what
the user enters and raise exceptions when needed.
So when you use the CustomDataTimeData on your windows it will automatically
call the FillString and SetValue methods when a value is changed or
displayed.
Read the online help on FillString & SetValue for further details or contact
me if you have any more questions.

Hi,
Yes, that is used to set the 'watermark' at which Forte will change
between 1900 and 2000 years when 2-digits are entered.
The problems is we currently have our widgets set to accept 4 digits.
This means the user MUST type in 1-9-0-1 or 2-0-0-1. What I want it to
do is allow the user to enter 0-1 and then display 2-0-0-1, and then
overtype it with 1-9-0-1 if they wish, but instead you get the Forte
error message if you only enter 2-digits.
Do you know if this is possible?
Jace.

There is an environment variable called FORTE_OLDEST_19YY which help
you do
what you want. It is documented in the System Management Guide for
release 3
on page 242. There is more information in the Framework manual also.

  • Icon substitutions causing cursor to move out of data entry field

    Hi,
    Since installing Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I am having an issue with using substitutions in web page data entry fields in Safari (Version 6.0.1)
    I use web based software for my business and enter text data in the form of standard text, substitutions which expand into words and substitutions that change to icons/special characters, for example ↑ is used when i type "pa + spacebar". Previously this was not a problem and I could enter the icon and continue on typing, however now it removes the cursor from the data entry field and if I press the space bar again it scrolls the page forcing me to mouse click on the entry field to continue typing. Very frustrating as I use alot of these special characters in my note taking.
    When I use a substitution for expanding words it has no concern and allows me to continue typing.
    I have tried deleting the icons/special characters and reinstating them but it still continues to take the cursor out of the entry field.
    Any help in sorting this out would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    I am having the same issue. Not just for special characters, but for any substituion. For example, a lowercase "i" into a capital "I". It's very annoying. I hope there's a fix for it.

    Hi:
    I need to transfer CATS data to FICO. I found out about transaction CAT7.
    At the moment, I have 2 issues:
    1) My CATSDB data have status "30". However, there is no corresponding entries in CATSCO. Could you tell me what I need to do to ensure that CATSCO has values?
    2) My FICO system is running on 4.6C whereas my HR system is running on ECC6.0. Can CAT7 still works?
    I appreciate your response.
    Thanks,

  • How to "force" specific format for data entry field (ex: European Phone #)

    Hi,
    I have a table field of 10 chars long holding a phone number.  I need to display this field and allow modification on its content in the following format: "99_99_99_99_99" where "_" is a blank.  What would be the easiest way of managing this ?  Of course, I don't want to store the blanks in the table field.... blanks are only used to make the phone number easier to read.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello
    Conversion routine is identified by its five-place name and is stored as a group of two function modules. The function modules have a fixed naming convention. The following function modules are assigned to conversion routine xxxxx:
    CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT
    CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT
    So you can use se37 to create these modules.
    Kind regards

  • On Android 4.2.2 on a Nexus7 tablet - No Firefox button and most text entry fields do not work at all

    I installed Firefox 19.0.2 and appears to be ok, but I don't see a Firefox button anywhere, so I cannot access any of the functions that it controls, such as bookmarks, which is why I installed it!
    The ASUS Nexus 7 tablet shows up as a supported platform.
    I set it as the default link browser, but quickly realized that I could not enter text into any data entry fields, so I reset the default back to Chrome, which works fine for that.
    I installed Firefox because bookmarks in Chrome are very lame, but I can't use bookmarks at all in Firefox, so again Chrome wins.
    Any suggestions, before I uninstall it?

    I am now a Democrat supporter. dccc.org does accept text input from my mobile.
    The forum problem I mentioned earlier is apparently a known issue but only affecting legacy phones.

  • Is there a date entry widget for XMP custom file info panels?

    Looking through the Custom File Info Panels documentation, the samples, and the default info panels presented in Photoshop, I can't find any reference to a date entry widget - the closest I've seen is the date_static_text widget.
    Is there any way to present an editable, validating date entry field to our end-users through the File Info panel?
    (the info we're wanting to store is a release date so it's user-specified, and not derivable from the file in any way)

    Mark,
    The PDF/A extension schema provides a big step to the self-sufficient functionality that you are asking about. It permits the XMP schema description information of custom XMP schemas to be embedded into the XMP as payload so that the file can be opened in years to come and the target metadata acurately interperted. Currently, PDF tools are active candidate to make use of this facility. However, there is nothing preventing future use with other file formats, and other tools (via plug-ins?).
    It does not include vocabulary, static text, and panel presentation layout information.
    http://www.pdfa.org/doku.php
    It defines a "known" subset of standard XMP properties from the 2001 XMP Spec. Everything else is "custom".
    You could craft a custom File Info "template" with the PDF/A extension for your custom XMP fields. Then import the template into each file.
    The PDF/A extension schema itself is implemented with multi-dimensional XMP arrays. MetaGrove Plug-in dialog screen shots can be viewed on http://www.poundhillsoftware.net/Acrobat.htm

  • Passing values in "Date Entry" items to called page

    I have a page with:
    o 2 Date Entry fields (P1500_BEGINDATE & P1500_ENDDATE).
    o A "Submit" button, P1500_SUBMIT_DATE_RANGE
    I want to use the 2 dates in a query on a linked page, called by the Submit button. I've setup 2 hidden Date Fields on the 2nd page, hoping I could stuff the dates into them, and grab them from there for the query.
    I'm sure I'm making this much harder than it hasta be... but for the life of me, I can't get the dates from the 1st page to the 2nd.
    Please let me know the easiest way to accomplish this (I've tried all of the hard ones that don't work... ;o)
    Thanks!
    Mark

    Mark: You don't need hidden fields.
    When you submit the page using the Submit button, the P1500_BEGINDATE (you really have 1500 pages in your app?!) and P1500_ENDDATE items are saved into session state and are available on any other page to be used as you need.

  • Check duplicate data entry in multi record block,which is a mandatory field

    Dear all,
    I have a situation where i have to check duplicate data entry(on a particular field,which is a mandatory field,i.e. it cannot be skipped by user without entering value) while data key-in in a Multi Record block.
    As for reference I have used a logic,such as
    1>In a When-Validate-Record trigger of that block I am assigning the value of that current item in Table type variable(collection type)
    as this trigger fire every time as soon as i leave that record,so its assigning the value of that current time.And this process continues
    then
    2>In a When-Validate-Item trigger of that corresponding item(i.e. the trigger is at item level) has been written,where it compares the value of that current item and the value stored in Table type variable(collection type) of When-Validate-Record trigger.If the current item value is matched with any value stored in Table type variable I am showing a message of ('Duplicate Record') following by raise_form_trigger failure
    This code is working fine for checking duplicate value of that multi record field
    The problem is that,if user enter the value in that field,and then goes to next field,enter value to that field and then press 'Enter Query 'icon,the bolth Validate trigger fires.As result first when-validate record fires,which stores that value,and then when-validate-item fires,as a result it shows duplicate record message
    Please give me a meaningful logic or code for solving this problem
    Any other logic to solve this problem is also welcome

    @Ammad Ahmed
    first of all thanks .your logic worked,but still i have some little bit of problem,
    now the requirement is a master detail form where both master and detail is multirecord ,where detail cannot have duplicate record,
    such as..........
    MASTER:--
    A code
    A1
    A2
    DETAIL:--
    D code
    d1
    d2 <-valid as for master A1 , detail d1 ,d2 are not duplicate
    d2 <--invalid as as for master A1 , detail d2 ,d2 are duplicate
    validation rule:  A Code –D Code combination is unique. The system will stop users from entering duplicate D Code for a A Code. Appropriate error message will be displayed.*
    actually i am facing a typical problem,the same logic i have been applied in detail section ,its working fine when i am inserting new records.problem starts when i query,after query in ' a ' field say 2 records (i.e. which has been earlier saved) has been pasted,now if i insert a new record with the value exactly same with the already present value in the screen(i.e. value populated after query) its not showing duplicate.................could u tell me the reason?and help me out...............its urgent plzzzzzzzzz

  • What else must I do to force data entry other than making the field required in LC 9 Forms Designer?

    I am trying to make sure that fields are populated with data prior to moving to the next field, but it seems that simply making the field required is not sufficient.  What else must I do to enforce data entry within required fileds?
    Thank you,

    There are a variety of scripting techniques that can be used based upon the form requirements, UI aesthetics, designer preference,... The script below forces data entry into a text field object called 'tf1' but it is a dangerous practice and should be used carefully. You may find yourself in a infinite loop based upon the tab order. A safer pattern includes global field validation upon submit.
    // form1.page1.subform1.tf1::exit - (JavaScript, client)
    if (this.isNull) {
      xfa.host.messageBox("tf1 is a mandatory field.","Text Field 1 Error",0);
      xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page1.subform1.tf1");

    There are actually 5 queries in this report now. From what I understand about a union query, I don't think it will work here because the data being returned in each of the queries is so different. I basically need to know how to make all the criteria for each individual to be displayed before proceeding to the next data set, which will include the same data as the first, but for the next employee, and so on. I need to basically create a repeating frame with each individual's respective data I guess, but every time I do, it tells me that it's referencing an invalid group.

  • Set Field Focus After Data Entry Error

    In a form created in Acrobat XI Pro (and distrubuted via Forms Central), I have various form fields (text, date, etc.). When the user performs a data entry error (e.g. incorrect date format based on date mask, etc.), the field focus is lost. The user must mouse-click into the field to set the field focus and re-enter their data. Is there any code that allows the app to return an error and set the focus back on the field returnign the error? Thanks / Todd

    If you converted the PDF to a FormsCentral form then it's a FC issue, not a PDF issue...
