Button to delete all empty rows

I am in the process of creating an interactive form that has a button that add rows for the user to input issues and another button to add follow-ups to those instances. There are 3 different sets of these. However, we do not want to add a delete button to all rows, to allow for accidental deletion of already inputted data. I would like to create a button that will delete all empty rows, including all subforms. Either that, or upon saving the document, all empty rows would be deleted - whichever would be easier. Please help! This seems like it will be a complicated task and I am not that well versed in LiveCycle to be able to figure this out on my own.
Thank you!

There is no doubt that looping through nested repeating objects is more complex:
Here is the script for the first table with follow-up rows:
// Technical
var nCount3 = VitalsSubform.Technical._Instance1.count;
for (var k=0; k<nCount3; k++)
     // this is script to remove the follow-up rows in the first table only
     var nCount6 = xfa.resolveNode("VitalsSubform.Technical.Instance1[" + k + "]").Table1._Row1.count;
     // loop through the rows in the follow-up table
     for (var i=0; i<nCount6; i++)
          if (xfa.resolveNode("VitalsSubform.Technical.Instance1[" + k + "].Table1.Row1[" + i + "]").Cell4.rawValue == null)
               // remove null row
               xfa.resolveNode("VitalsSubform.Technical.Instance1[" + k + "]").Table1._Row1.removeInstance(i);
               // recount nCount in case a row has been deleted
               nCount6 =xfa.resolveNode("VitalsSubform.Technical.Instance1[" + k + "]").Table1._Row1.count;
               // account for the row that is now deleted
               i = i-1;
     // now remove null statements
     if (xfa.resolveNode("VitalsSubform.Technical.Instance1[" + k + "]").Table1.Statement.Statement.rawValue == null)
          VitalsSubform.Technical._Instance1.removeInstance(k);
          var nCount3 = VitalsSubform.Technical._Instance1.count;
          k = k-1;
It is by no means tested and could still be flaky.
Have you considered a manual 'x'/delete button for the follow-up rows?

Urgent - Deletion of duplicate rows in a table - Help me

Hi friends,
Here is my purchase_order_line table desc,
SQL> desc purchase_order_line;
Name Null? Type
PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
DESTINATION_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
PURCHASE_ORDER_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
LINE_NO NOT NULL NUMBER
PART_NO VARCHAR2(10)
PART_DESC NOT NULL VARCHAR2(100)
ORDER_QTY NOT NULL NUMBER
ORDER_DATE NOT NULL DATE
DUE_DATE DATE
VERSION_NO NOT NULL NUMBER
VERSION_DATE NOT NULL DATE
purchase_order_line_id is a primary key.
If you ignore the primary key column temporarily,
for the rest of 2 to 11 columns, i have a duplicate data in this table.
I want to clear out all duplicates.
Suppose if I have 3 similar rows(exclude primarykey), then delete first two rows and leave the last one.
OR delete last two rows and leave the first one.
What is the best solution for this ?
thanks for help.

How to delete a particular row in ALV table

Hi,
How to delete a particular row in ALV table based on some condition(by checking value for one of the columns in a row)
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

Hello Bala,
Can you please be a bit more clear as to how you intend to delete the rows from your ALV? By the way deleting rows from an ALV is no different from deleting rows from a normal table. Suppose you have enabled selection property in ALV & then select multiple rows and click up on a button to delete the rows then below would be the coding: (Also keep in mind that you would have to maintain the Selection property of the context node that you are binding to your ALV to 0..n)
data : lr_table_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_table_settings,
             lr_config          TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table.
lr_table_settings ?= lr_config.
** Setting the ALV selection to multiple selection with no lead selection
lr_table_settings->set_selection_mode( value = cl_wd_table=>e_selection_mode-multi_no_lead ).
Next delete the selected rows in the action triggered by the button:
METHOD onactiondelete_rows .
DATA: wd_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
         lt_node1 TYPE ig_componentcontroller=>elements_node,
         wa_temp TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
         lt_temp TYPE wdr_context_element_set,
         row_number TYPE i VALUE 0.
wd_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE' ).
CALL METHOD wd_node->get_selected_elements
    RECEIVING
      set = lt_temp.
LOOP AT lt_temp INTO wa_temp.
    wd_node->remove_element( EXPORTING element = wa_temp ).
ENDLOOP.
CALL METHOD wd_node->get_static_attributes_table
    EXPORTING
      from = 1
      to    = 2147483647
    IMPORTING
      table = lt_node1.
wd_node->bind_table( new_items = lt_node1 ).
ENDMETHOD.
If in case this isn't your requirement please do let me know so that I can try come up with another analysis.

Uday

Count of non-empty rows of a table

How to I get the number of non-empty rows of a table ?
Thanks

You can loops through the rows and check whether any cell is empty or not? Use a counter variable to increment the same.

Appending empty rows in internal table

Hi,
i am using table control, where there is a condition, some row may left empty. end if i press enter button the empty row is filled by the next available record. My need is to pick the records in the table control to the internal table including the empty rows as it is.

Hi Karthikeyan,
By default with user pressinng enter, empty rows will get deleted.
How are you populating your table control? Is it from standard transaction or your internal table?
If it is from your internal table, you can add anothe flag field for empty row.
Whenever row is empty in your internal table, mark flag field as 'X', so in the table control you these entries will not get vanished with pressing of enter.
This is one idea and you can build on this. You can make this flag column as non editable so that no one can change these.
hope this helps,
ags.

How to avoid displaying empty rows in a table?

The situation is as follows:
I have got a set of questions under a particular category say marketing category.
The user will be displayed with a table consisting of a set of questions from a particular category with four radio buttons for each question.
Now once he is done with all the set of questions under a particular category, he will be navigated to the next set of questions under some other category say 'xyz'
Now instead of creating seperate view objects for each category, we have created a view object which will hold all the set of questions from all the category but will display only the set of questions under a particular category by declaring a variable in the backing bean and setting the question rendering to the value in the variable. the value to the variable will be changed once the user is done with answering all the set of questions under a particular category.
Now the problem that i am facing is:
Because of the rendering condition that i have used, it displays only those rows that have the rendering condition set to the variable in the backing and displays all other empty rows overlapped.
How do i avoid this situation ??

Seems odd, but you could use COALESCE to achieve this.
ME_XE?create table all_nullz (col1 number, col2 number, col3 number);
Table created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.20
ME_XE?
ME_XE?insert into all_nullz values (1,2,3);
1 row created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.12
ME_XE?insert into all_nullz values (null, null, null);
1 row created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.06
ME_XE?
ME_XE?delete from all_nullz where coalesce(col1,col2,col3) is null;
1 row deleted.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.26

How to remove an empty row after a table anchor?

We are using FrameMaker 12 on a Windows 7 (64 bit) platform.
I am working my way down a chapter of training content. I am halfway down the chapter, and—as fate would have it—I need to start a table at the top of a page.
When I insert a table (with a caption/title at the top), FM creates an anchor at the top of the page. The space to the right of the anchor is a blank line. I actually want the table to start at the top of the page without the blank line to the right of the anchor.
This is what I tried, with the results:
I put the cursor after the anchor, and press Delete.
Result: The text *below* the table is brought up above the table.
I put the cursor after the last bit of text on the previous page, and press Delete.
Result: The paragraph on the previous page moves down to the next page on top of the table, leaving a large blank space on the previous page.
I change the Start option (on Table Designer) to Top of Column (or Top of Page).
Result: FM leaves the anchor where it was, moves the table down to the next page, and leaves a totally empty page where the table used to be.
Is there any way to just move the table up so that it is on the same line as the anchor?
(And as a tool design issue, is there EVER a reason why a content developer would want an entire blank line above of a table?)
Thank you in advance,
Tim

I've always thought it strange that FrameMaker doesn't properly butt
tables against the top of a column by default. Here's how to make tables
do it.
1. First, in the Table Designer, on the Basic tab, set Spacing Above to
a negative number, such as -2.0 pt, for the table. (You probably want to
update all of your table styles to use this number by default.)
2. Create an anchor paragraph style to hold tables, perhaps naming it
TableAnchor. In the Paragraph Designer, on the Basic tab, set Spacing
Below Pgf to the same negative number, such as -2.0 pt, for this
paragraph style and select the "Fixed" checkbox. On the Default Font
tab, set the font to the same number, but positive-- such as 2.0 pt.
3. Now, whenever you want to insert a table, first insert a TableAnchor
paragraph to hold the table, then insert your table. The table will not
only fit properly against the top of a column, but should also look
better when it follows text in a column.
NOTE: Anywhere I've used 2.0 or -2.0, you can use any number you want,
just be sure to get the signs right and use the same number in all three
places. Some people use 12.0 pt and -12.0 pt, for example.

Empty rows in advanced table

Hi there,
In my advanced table with multiple selection check box, I have the logic to insert 10 rows into the view object before the table is rendered. So my table display 10 new blank rows.
Assume user only enter 3 rows and I don't want to save those 7 empty rows. How can I recognize the 7 empty rows and remove them from the VO?
Please advise.
thanks,
Charles

Hi Charles,
You may be dispalying some columns on OAF page, check all thos for null, if every field is Null then it is unused and you can remove it.
This is sample code:
public void deleteUnusedLines()
XXEGASRLinesVOImpl pervo = getXXEGASRLinesVO1();
if(pervo==null)
Row row[] = pervo.getAllRowsInRange();
System.out.println("No of items "+row.length);
for (int i=0;i<row.length;i++)
XXEGASRLinesVORowImpl rowi = (XXEGASRLinesVORowImpl)row;
if((rowi.getItemDescription()==null)||("".equals(rowi.getItemDescription().trim())))//add more conditions here to locate empty rows.
rowi.remove();
