Date field patterns and barcodes

I have a date field that is mapped to a barcode. the date field has a pattern > Data of date {YYYYMMDD} because the target system requires it without the dashes.
However when the barcode generates it always encodes YYYY-MM-DD (ie. WITH THE DASHES).
If i do a xfa.host.messageBox (this.rawValue) it always displays the YYYY-MM-DD.
If I call the this.formattedValue it does return YYYYMMDD.
To fix this i created a hidden field which i wrote to on the exit of the datefield and mapped this hidden field to the barcode.
hiddenField.rawValue = this.formattedValue
Is there a better way to do this without the hidden fields? I ask since i have a bunch of date fields..
How/where do i change the pre-generated barcode code to grab the formattedValue instead of the rawValue if its a datetimefield?

Hi,
Got the answer for the first question from http://forums.adobe.com/message/4282353#4282353.
Kindly help with the validation message part.
Thanks

Is there a way to import a indd CS4 file with its Data Fields names and properties into CC?

I have to convert numerous files from CS4 to CC. The CS4 files are using external data from a CSV file. When I open the file in CS4 I can enable the preview and see the data from the CSV file. But when I save the file as indd or idml and try to open it in InDesignCC then I can't see the data as preview. I can see the Data fields (text).I think it's because it doesn't recognize the data fields from the CS4 file. If I delete a data field and remap it I will be able to see the preview for the field I just mapped. the other fields remain the unchanged, like they were just text.
Any help with this topic will be very appreciated. I have about 70 data fields per document and about 100 documents to go through.
Update: The symbol for a data field, ex: «fullname_2» change size when I delete and remap it. Explanation: When I open the CS4 file in IndesignCC I can't view a preview of the Data field(s) (almost positive because it's plain text). The data fields show like this «fullname_2». But when I delete that and drag a field from the data field list it shows like this <<fullname_2>>. So definitely, CC is not reading the data fields from InDesign CS4.
P.S.: The fields above («fullname_2» and <<fullname_2>> are copy and paste from Indesign CC.

I'm attaching this image so this forum can notice the difference on the Data fields from CS4 and the ones added on CC

Date Field Displaying and DML Operations

Hi all,
I have an issue with displaying and updating date columns that I'm hoping someone can assist me with.
I'm using APEX 3.0.1.
I have a Form page with a number of fields sourced from one database table that are being populated by an Automatic Row Fetch On Load - After Header.
The Item P6_MONTHFOR is stored as a Date datatype in the table and displayed on the form using the Date Picker (use Item Format Mask). I have a Format Mask set as 'MON-RR'. I want to ensure that the last day of the month is saved back to the database table so have been trying various calculation techniques to try and achieve this but am experiencing a variety of SQL errors!
I have tried using LAST_DAY(:P6_MONTHFOR) in the Post Calculation Computation, or as a separate Computation After Submit.
I have also tried having P6_MONTHFOR as a hidden column and using display Items and then trying Item calculations to then update the value of P6_MONTHFOR column prior to DML operations but to no avail.
The only DML operations allowed on these rows are DELETE and UPDATE and I'm using an Automatic Row Processing (DML) On Submit - After Computations and Validations process to control these operations.
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated :-)
Kind Regards,
Gary.

the function LAST_DAY is a date function, expecting a date as input. Since it is all web, the values of items are as string/varchar2. In order to use date-function, you have to first make it a date with to_date() with the format-mask (DD-MON-RR).
In my opinion Dates are still tricky, it would be great if ApEx would have a DV() function, next to the V() and NV() functions, It is in ApExLib (of Patrick Wolf)

Labels reversed in french in Employee Master Data, fields Branch and Dept

Hello
There is an error in SAP B1 2007A translation from english to french.
In the Employee Master Data, in french, the labels Branch and Department are reversed. So our client has its Departments in OUBR and its Branches in OUDP.
Is there a way to make a correction to those labels without creating an add-on?
Thank you.
Pierre

Hello Gordon
I've double-clicked on the labels and nothing happens. Is there a lock in the menu that has to be deactivated before we click on the labels in order to change the caption.
I'm in the Employee Master Data interface and the labels for the Dept and Branch are reversed in the french version.
Thanks
Pierre

DTP can Not extract data of date field from PSA to Target DSO

Hi everyone.
I enhanced several fields in datasource "2LIS_12_VCITM". that is date field "BLDAT" and another date type fields.
The data of date type fields are extracted very well from datasource to PSA.
But only field "BLDAT" among them are NOT extracted from PSA to target DSO.
Another date type fields is good. but only "BLDAT" field is empty.
I added "BLDAT" later than another date fields.
Is that the reason??
I don't know why.
Let me know the solution. pls~~~~

Hi,
Try deleting and recreating the DTP and loading again.
This solution refers to note 925941 and should be solved in SPS10.

Data in DSO and CUBE

Hi Experts
Please..Please update me on in detail if possible with example ......Key Fields and Dimensions
How Data Records will be processed in DSO and Cube
I tried to search but i can't able to find what i am looking for
My Requirment:
I am extracting Employee Benefits records from Non SAP Source System (Oracle Tables)
In the Oracle there is no Date field avaliable and there won't be any history avaliable in oracle once the Benefits of an employee is changed the old record will be overwritten to new one so they can't track the employee benefits history...but in BW i need to store/show history of employee benefits by Cal day
Oracle Table Fields
Location (Primary Key)
Emp No (Primary Key)
Insurance Type
Call Allowance Type
Annual Leave (No of day Days)
Pension Schem
Company Laptop (Yes/No)

hi,
key fields are the primary keys of ur ods tables. based on the key field values the data fields will get overwritten.
suppose if the key fields values were same then the data fields will get overwritten. but the changes were captured in the change log table, hence the history of changes is available.
Dimensions- are the prmary keys of cube. but in cube only addition of records will happen as default not overwrite as in ods.
dimension ids were generated based on the sid values of characteristics.
maximum of 16 key fields and dimensions can be there in ods and cube respectively.
for ur case, include 0calday field in the key fields and use the routine to update the field with system date(SY-Date). this keeps track/ else without date also , change log maintains history for each load.
have to add 0recordmode to the communication structure of the ods(infosource).

DSO or ODS "Insert New Hierarchy Nodes" under Data Fields

When you insert info objects under the Data Fields in DSO right mouse click on the Data Fields icon and you will find Insert New Hierarchy Nodes . I created a hierarchy node with infoobjects associating with it which will be visible under the Filters Folder in BEx Query designer as a seperate folder. I can add them to the infoobjects from this folder into the query. I did not know how to apply this functionality in Queries and what it really does. My guess was you can create dynamic hierarchy using characteristic infoobjects from transactional data.Any ideas or links to documentation. This option was available from 7.X in DSO's and i think even in 3.x ODS.

Hi,
May help you:----
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/4a/e71f39488fee0ce10000000a114084/content.htm
You could feel the flexibility of using this hierarchial display in the Query. Try to create any Query on this DSO.

Formatted Search for Delivery Date field in SO not working

Hi All
Can anyone help me as to why my formatted search is not working?
I am currently using SAP B1A SP01 Patch 19.
I have created a user query as follows:
SELECT $ [$10.0.DATE] + 5
When I add this to the delivery field within the Sales Order and bring through the saved query which I set to auto refresh when the Posting Date field changes and to Display Saved Values it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks and best wishes
Gail

HI Gail,
If I am not mistaken you want to add days to the posting date...if that is so then try this out:
SELECT $[ORDR.DocDate.DATE]+5 From ORDR T0 For Browse
Set The indicator to Auto Refresh when the fields change

How do I apply filters or limit the rows on my report using a Date field in SQL report builder 3.0?

I have a status of completed and a date field in the dataset. The date field is either empty or contains a date. All 2015 dates are holding dates.
So how can I limit the report to only pull completed status with an empty date or a holding date?
I have not been able to set an OR option on a date field filter and if I add two filters on the date column one for empty one for > 12/31/2014 then it treats it as an "and" and pulls nothing from the list I have in sharepoint.
any help will be appreciated.

Hi MB,
In Reporting Services, the relationship of filters is “And”, and there is no option to change the relationship from “And” to “Or”. While we can use “or” operator within the expression to create one filter to integrated all filters to work around this
issue.
We can add a filter as follows in the dataset to limit the rows in your report:
Expression: =Fields!date.Value is nothing or Fields!date.Value>"12/31/2014" Type: Boolean
Operator: =
Value: true
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Problem with the date field in Table Control

I have created a table control in my module programming. One of the column in the table control is a date field which is I/O field.
Now if I enter a value in date field column and hit enter the date field is reset. I dont want the field to get reset and accept valid date field.
I have set type of the column as DATS and I havent used any dictionary fields. The column is from the internal table in the program.
Please suggest

In your PAI, in the LOOP AT <itab> did you
- check date validity
- update internal table
* Sample
LOOP AT itab.
FIELD itab-field MODULE checkfield.
MODULE updateitab.
ENDLOOP.
Look also at SAP documentation like [Table Controls|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABENTABLE_CONTROL1_ABEXA.htm] or [Table Controls in ABAP Programs|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/9f/dbac9f35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]

How do I auto fill a date field for an Adobe form?

Hi. I am new to Acrobat. I would like to have Acrobat auto fill today's date in a date field when I open an acrobat form. I check the forum help and it indicated that I associate this javascript text to the field:
var f = this.getField("Today"); if (f.valueAsString=="") f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
However, when I try it out, nothing happens.
Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?
- Michael

Hi M. Krebs,
Is there a text field in the PDF labeled "Today" and set as a date field? And does the Date Options format set for the field match what is in the JavaScript (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Best,

Add Days to a Date field

Hi all,
I have the following requirement:
I have a date field 0calday and the user would like to add a specific no.of days to it, like for example 10 or 15 days. Then we use this computed date field in calculations in the query. Could you please help and let me know how we can no.of days to a date field? And also how we can compute no.of days between two date fields?
Regards,
Ashmith Roy

Hi Ashmith,
When the user enters both date and no. of days, and if you want to calculate no of days from the user entered date I think you can go for an exit where you can use the available function module which calculates the no of days from starting of the month for the given date. Then you can add up the days entered by the user and use another available function module which converts it to the dat format again based on the given days and the old date. I don't remember the function module names but i am sur ethey are available.
If the above thing is made possible then I think getting no of days between two dates is not a problem. Well i hope this will help you.
