Different type data

I would like to create a sub that would...
1. take multiple type of input such as I16, I32, single, double, etc through a single input terminal.
2. be able to tell what is the input type in my program. For example, if my programs can take I16, I32, single, double through an single input terminal, and the input is supposed to be single, how do I tell that it is? I would like to perform a different action on the input depending on the type.
How do I do that?

Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

I think what you are looking for is basically a vi with a varient input, then identifiying within the vi what was passed in (there are OpenG tools that will do that) so that you can handle the input data appropriately. Do a search on varients, there is a wealth of "stuff". If you can, download the OpenG.org libraries, there are a bunch of "varient" tools.

How to send different type of data

Hello, everyone,
I am trying to send different types of data between client and server.
For example, from server to client, I need to send some String data, using PrintWriter.println(String n); and send some other stuff using OutputStream.write(byte[] b, int x, int y). What I did is setting up a socket, then send them one by one. But it didn't work.
I am just wondering if there is anything I need to do right after I finished sending the String data and before I start sending other stuff using OutputStream. (Because if I only send one of them, then it works; but when I send them together, then the error always happened to the second one no matter I use PrintWriter first or the OutputStream first)

To send mixed type of data by hand allways using the same output/input stream, you could do:
on server side
        ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
        Socket clientSocket = null;
        OutputStream out = null;
        try
            /*setup a socket*/
            serverSocket = new ServerSocket(4444);
            clientSocket = clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
            out = new BufferedOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
            /*send a byte*/
            int send1 = 3;
            out.write(send1);
            /*send a string with a line termination*/
            String send2 = "a string sample";
            out.write(send2.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"));
            out.write('\n');
        finally
            try { out.close(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}
            try { clientSocket.close(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}
            try { serverSocket.close(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}
on client side
        Socket clientSocket = null;
        InputStream in = null;
        try
            clientSocket = new Socket("localhost", 4444);
            in = new BufferedInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());
            /*receive the byte*/
            int receive1 = in.read();
            System.out.println("The received message #1 is: " + receive1);
            /*receive the string up to the line termination*/
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            int c;
            while (((c = in.read()) != '\n') && (c != -1))
                baos.write(c);
            String receive2 = baos.toString("ISO-8859-1");
            System.out.println("the received message #2 is: " + receive2);
        finally
            try { in.close(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}
            try { clientSocket.close(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Outcome: Unknown Error

Received this error (The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.) recently on a workflow that was
working fine and no changes were made to the workflow.
I have tried a few suggestions, i.e. adding a pause before any ‘Update’ action (which didn’t help because the workflow past this action without incident); checked the data type being written
to the fields (the correct data types are being written); and we even checked the list schema to ensure the list names and the internal names are aligned (they
are), but we still cannot figure out why the workflow is still throwing this error.
We located the area within the workflow step where it is failing and we inserted a logging action to determine if the workflow would execute the logging action but it did not, but wrote the same error message.
The workflow is a Reusable Approval workflow designed in SharePoint Designer 2010 and attached to a content type.
The form associated with the list was modified in InfoPath 2010.
Approvers would provide their approval in the InfoPath form which is then read by the workflow.
Side note - items created after the workflow throws this Unknown Error some seem to be working fine.
We have deleted the item in question and re-added it with no effect.
Based on what we were able to determine there don’t seem to be any consistency with how this issue is behaving.
Any suggestions on how to further investigate this issue in order to find the root cause would be greatly appreciated?
Cheers

Hi,
I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.
Thanks,

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information using Update Item action

I got error "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information "I found out the cause is Update Item action
I need to update item in another List call Customer Report ,the field call "Issues" with data type "Choice" to yes
then the error arise . please help..

Thanks for the quick response Nikhil.
Our SPF 2010 server is relatively small to many setups I am sure. The list with the issue only has 4456 items and there are a few associated lists, eg lookups, Tasks, etc see below for count.
Site Lists
Engagements = 4456 (Errors on this list, primary list for activity)
Tasks = 7711 (All workflow tasks from all site lists)
Clients = 4396 (Lookup from Engagements, Tslips, etc)
Workflow History = 584930 (I periodically run a cleanup on this and try to keep it under 400k)
Tslips = 3522 (Engagements list can create items here, but overall not much interaction between lists)
A few other lists that are used by workflows to lookup associations that are fairly static and under 50 items, eg "Parters Admin" used to lookup a partners executive admin to assign a task.

Partial Delivery in Sales Order with Different Delivery Dates

Dear All,
In Sales Order we need to specify the different delivery dates for the items ( Partial Delivery ).
Ex: If I add one sales order for 20 qty of an item today.I need to specify 5 nums to be delivered on immediately
and next 10 qty i need delivered on after 15 days and rest of the remaining qty delivered on after another 15 days.
How we configure in SAP B1 Sales Order.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.
- Rajesh

Enable 'Del Date' in Form Settings of the Delivery.
In the First Row, select the Item, Qty 5 and type Del Date Immediately
In the Second Row, select the Same Item, Qty 10 and type Del Date after 10 Days
In the Thrid Row, select the Same Item, Qty 5 and type Del Date after 15 Days

How can I get the program to recognize two different types of thermocouples?

I am using a PCI-4351 card with a TBX-68T terminal block. I was having trouble writing and finding a program that would give me more than one reading/sec. I found a program on the NI website called "435x_logger_triggering", and so far it is the only program that I have found that will actually collect data at 60 Hz. Unfortunately, this program only lets you specify one mode for your thermocouples. This is a problem because we are using two thermocouples, one is type K and the other is a type R, so we get bad readings from one of the thermocouples depending on which mode it is set on. I would like to know how I can program in a seperate mode for each channel in this program. Un
fortunately, some of the sub VI's in this program are password protected, so I don't know if this is possible. Everything is entered correctly in the Measurement and Automation explorer, so that isn't the problem. I will attach a copy of the program that I am using. I have modified it slightly from the one I got off the NI website, so that the thermocouple readings have a time stamp and are saved to disk. Any assistance you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jordan

Jordan,
You should be able to sample two different thermocouples in the example that ships with the 435x driver called "Getting Started with multiple tranducers Continous". Simply put each type of thermocouple in a different index . Each index of the Transducer Group Array can have a different type and specify the channels that correspond to that type.
One way that you can speed this VI up is to place a wait inside of the while loop. This will reduce the number of times the software polls the card if it has available data(increasing the overhead). I would suggest about 500 ms. The data that you receive will all have the same delta t because the sampling clock is hardware driven not software, so it does matter when the data is polled.
You will not be
able to get 60 samples per second when you are measuring multiple channels anyway. The sample rate for multiple channels is about 9/(# channels). This is explained in the 435x Users Manual.
I looked at your code and noticed that you tried to change some of the enumeration controls. Unfortunately you will not be able to change these because they are password protected on the low level subVIs, which is where they are defined.
The way you select if you want the notch filter is in the 435x Config you specify fast or slow. If it is slow then it will select 10Hz as the nitch filter. If you select fast the it will select either 50 or 60Hz You would then use the function "435x Set power line frequency"
Good luck,
Mike

It has a list of the algorithms, which are pretty disappointing, I must say. No Random Forests? No ensembling methods? Given that it's using R algorithms, I must say this is a missed opportunity to beat products like SPSS and SAS at their own game. If SAP were to include this functionality, they would be the only BI vendor capable of having a serious predictive tool integrated with the rest of the platform.... but this looks pretty weak.
I can only hope a later release will remedy this - or maybe the SDK will allow me to create what I need.
As things stand, I could built a random forest using this tool, but I would have to use a lot of hardcoded SQL to make it happen. And if I wanted to go down that road, I could use the algorithms that come with the Microsoft/Oracle software.
Please let me be wrong........

What are the different types of exits available?

hi all,
Can any explain different types of exits ? user exit ? menu exit etc?
can anyone explain me each exit with an real time scenario
regds
hari

Types of Exits 
There are several different types of user exits. Each of these exits acts as hooks where you can attach or "hang" your own add-ons.
Menu Exits 
Menu exits add items to the pulldown menus in standard SAP applications. You can use these menu items to call up your own screens or to trigger entire add-on applications.
SAP creates menu exits by defining special menu items in the Menu Painter. These special entries have function codes that begin with "+" (a plus sign). You specify the menu items text when activating the item in an add-on project.
Screen Exits
Screen exits add fields to screens in R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special subscreen areas on a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from the standard screens flow logic.
Function Module Exits
Function module exits add functions to R/3 applications. Function module exits play a role in both menu and screen exits.
When you add a new menu item to a standard pull down menu, you use a function module exit to define the actions that should take place once your menu is activated.
Function module exits also control the data flow between standard programs and screen exit fields. SAP application developers create function module exits by writing calls to customer functions into the source code of standard R/3 programs.
These calls have the following syntax:
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION 001.
Field Exits 
Field exits allow you to create your own programming logic for any data element in the Dictionary. You can use this logic to carry out checks, conversions, or business-related processing for any screen field. Example: The data element BBBNR identifies a companys international location number. You might want to set up your R/3 System so that all international location numbers are larger than 100.
The field exit concept lets you create a special function module that contains this logic.
You assign the special function module to the data element BBBNR. You then assign the module to any programs and screens in which users can add new international location numbers. When you activate your field exit, the system automatically triggers your special routine whenever a user enters a company location number.
In 4.6c, you can use "RSMODPRF" program to create field exits.
An example of a user exits :-
MODULE user_exit_0001 INPUT
 CASE okcode.
 WHEN 'BACK OR EXIT'.
 CASE sy-dynnr.
 WHEN '100'.
 SET SCREEN 0.
 LEAVE SCREEN.
 WHEN '200'.
Note that you can write any code that satisfy your needs. ****
But in this case, this was wrote as a sample code for reference sake. ****
And you can test it. ****
 SET SCREEN 100.
 LEAVE SCREEN.
 ENDCASE.
 ENDCASE.

HT204382 What do I need to down load to make Quick Time play different types of files, like mPeg etc?

I'm new to this site and to my REfurbished 13" Mac Book Pro. I really love this note book! IO wish I had gotten the REtina Display now. I passed on it because It didn't have a lot of storage space. But what was I thinking....I don't want to fill this note book with hundreds of Albums and load my nearly 5000 photos onto it. I wouldn't want to slow it down by having to wait for it to load all the data everytime I turned it on.
I tried to down load a file from a trusted friend, the Quick Time Player icon appeared in the Dock when I opened the down loadopened. Along with it, a message of sorts came up saying I need to download something else to make this file open/play. Any idea what I should get to make the Quick Time Player able to play more different types of files/clips?
I'm just not so computer savy......like most of you.
So, LOL.....could you please talk in simple language if you respond to me question?
Thank You all,
mike

Different due dates for the same SC

Hi dear experts,
We are facing a problem with our customer, the customer wants to have the flexibility in the system to create SC´s with 2 different characteristics, the first category are plans which work with the standard and we already have them working fine.
For the second category, they want to be able to create a "SC 1" and sell it for example to certain "Student A",
and charge him all the tuition in one payment, the problem comes when they want to sell the same "SC 1" to a "Student B", but in 3 payments with 3 different due dates or even in 5 installments to another student with 5 different due dates.
The "SC 1" has to be always the same, we cannot create (request of the client) different plans to sort this issue. Also one student can be registered for both type of plans (the standard ones and the no-standard ones)
The first plans are regular plans (semesters) but the second type can be shorter or complementary to his main SC.
Is it possible to use a BAdI during fee calculation process to create a function module which allows to select the kind of due date payment each time? and only for the type second kind of category?
or is it possible to use a BAdI which allow us to insert manually due dates before the fee calculation document is created for this second category without interfering with the first category which works fine?
Thank you
Sergio Artinano

Alvaro,
I am sorry, but I don't really understand your question. It seems contradictory. On the one hand, the customer want the same Program of Study used for both options. But then, you say that one option is administered by Semesters while the other has different shorter sessions. In that case, you really need different Session Variants for each case, which means you also need different Programs of Study.
What is the basis for requiring them to be the same Program? Couldn't it just be two programs that confer the same Degree/Qualification?
I guess I don't understand the fundamental nature of this 'second option'. For example, is it just a spearate registration 'option' for the program? If so, you could model it as a Specialization.
However, based on what I gather so far, I am thinking you need two programs. Can you explain further what the two program options really are, and what they have in common with each other that makes the customer want to use a single SC object?

Please, can anyone give me any idea or help how to get only one record query result.
Thanks in advanced.

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You failed. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal
data. We need to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:
https://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/119-sql-code-smells/
>> I have my query result like below <<
So you show us a result and expect that we can guess! Wow! We are magical! Did you ever read Douglas Adams? The answer is 42! Now find
the question.
Also, you have things like “lab_category_type” in this code. Is it a category or a type? In a valid data model that follow ISO-11179 rules you could have a “lab_category” or “lab_type” but never a mixed hybrid. In one of my books, I had something like “lab_category_type_id”
as a joke; it was so stinking awful that I never dreamed any programmer would really do this!
Also OUTER JOINs a rare in a valid schema. A good design will have DRI so you know you have matches. Since a table is a set, their names are plural or collective; but you have only one appointment according to your unseen DDL. And only one “Diagnosis_Report”,
etc.
Now think about “Lab_Category_Types” as a table. Regardless of how this ambiguous mess is resolved, it will be an attribute. An attribute is in a column, not an entity like you are modeling it. If it has a few static values then use a CHECK( x IN (..)) constraint.
If it is dynamic or large, then use a REFERENCES. Never use a join like this.
That silly, magical “delete_status” looks like an assembly language flag. This is what we did with tape files in the 1950's. We would have a bit in the front of records and flip it. Later a program would move the active records to a new tape. Ask yourself
why everything in the universe would share a common attribute. Such an attribute would be so generic as to be useless or (your case) it would be meta data and not part of the entity at all. Oh, rows are not records; you got that wrong too.
Why do you keep prices in integers? Currency is decimal. Sure wish we had DDL. My guess is that this should look more like this simpler, faster query.
SELECT APP.appointment_id,
LT.lab_type, LR.lab_price,
DRT.diagnosis_type, DR.diagnosis_price

How load different types of file in SSIS

could you please suggest how can we load different types of file in SSIS. The file metadata is not defined . So the SSIS
package will read the files palced in a defined shared location or folder where based on the column value will determine the datatype on runtime and load the data.

Hi SubhadipRoy,
SSIS doesn’t support dynamic data access provider or metadata. That means that we need to use different source adapters for flat files (.csv and .txt) and Excel files. So, in the Control Flow, you can use three Foreach Loop Container: one to loop through
.txt files, one to loop through .csv files, and the last one to loop through Excel files. In each Foreach Loop Container, you use a Data Flow Task to extract data from the corresponding source files.
If the source files have different structures, you need to use Script Component in the Data Flow Task to parse the first row of the source files and create destination table dynamically. Here are two script examples for your reference:

FM "GUI_UPLOAD " File type 'DAT' with UNICODE

Hi all,
 Were using UNICODE and we have developed a FM which upload the data from application server as well as from presentation server. Its based on selection screen options. We are using GUI_UPLOAD FM in our function module. We have hardcode file type as DAT.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
 EXPORTING
 FILENAME = Z_FILENAME
 FILETYPE = 'DAT'
 HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
 TABLES
 DATA_TAB = T_INPUT
But when were uploading file from presentation server as CSV, Tab delimited or even XLS .its giving an error. Why is that? Is this any thing to do with UNICODE? What should be the type of file DAT?
Please give your suggestions/input.
Thanks

Why We cant user file type 'DAT' with GUI_UPLOAD ?
Im defining the structure as per file and rests of things are fine.
Thanks for the reply...!
GUI_UPLOAD HELP !!!
Value range
'DAT'
The components of the internal table are filled from the file. If the table contains several columns, the entries in the file must be separated by tabs. No conversion exits are carried out.
The following applies for the different data types:
I or N or P or F
The numbers must be formatted according to the decimal representation defined in the user settings.
D The date must be defined according to the date format defined in the user settings.
T The time must have the format hh:mm:ss.

About virtual channel in different device and/or different type channel

Hi all,
I am looking for a way to write to several analog channels at the same time. In my code, I didnt' pay much attention to that, I just have them placed in the the same frame in the flat sequence such that they might be started to write simultaneously. However, sometimes they might not working perfectly. I am reading something on DAQmx and I found that there is something call virtual channel so I have put more than 1 channel into a unit (called virtual cahnnel), so I can write something to it at the same time. Here are my question
1) what's the different between virtual channel and channel group? If I write a array of 3 elements to a channel group (consists of dev1/ao1, dev1/ao2 and dev1/ao5), am I writing to channel group or virtual channel?
2) can I bind different channels from different devices to form a virtual channel, e.g. dev0/ao0 dev1/ao0 dev2/ao0?
3) can I bind different type of channel to form a virtual channel, e.g. dev0/ao0, dev0/port0/line0?
4) last question is about synchronization on writing to a virtual channel (or channel group?) Last say I have a pulse train each pulse is separated in time by 1.2ms and total time is 122.4ms. The pulse train will be sent to dev0/ao3, and at 12ms after start send very first pulse of the train, I need to write two analog signal to dev1/ao1 and dev1/ao5. In my current code, create a flat sequence, start the task for sending the train in the first frame, put delay in second frame and delay for 12ms, write dev1/ao1 and dev1/ao5 in the third frame. For some times, this gives me acceptable timing but not always. I wonder how does it help to use virtual channel?
In the similar situtation, what about if instead of writing to two analog channel, I write to one analog channel and one digital channel?
Thanks.

1) virtual channel is created per task and contains a collection of settings such as a name, a physical channel, input terminal connections, the type of measurement or generation, and can include scaling information.. A virtual group is specific to digital IO and has to deal with the way you read/write data off/to the port
2) yes you can create a task with physical channels from multiple devices assuming they are comparable writes (ie all analog or all analog read, or all digital) but they will have the same channel characteristics (see answer above)
3) no you cannot create a task that handle an AO and a DO from with in the same task
4) if you created a task you are using a virtual channel. The only way to ensure timing is to use hardware timing (ie onboard sample clock of you DAQ card) otherwise the reads/writes are basically interrupts and you are at the mercy of the OS to service the interrupt request
if you need more information please repost with more questions, include your DAQ hardware, and any code pictures to give us a better idea of what you are trying to accomplish and how you are going about it

Combined delivery with different delivery dates:

Combined delivery with different delivery dates:
We are experiencing a problem when doing combined delivery from multiple orders of the same ship to party.
All the requirements are being met (for the order combination) accept the Delivery dates.
Sometimes an order Qty is confirmed on the 1at of a month , then the second order qty is confirmed on the 15th of the month. But when we want to make the combined delivery , the delivery dates differ and the user has to go into the individual order ans changes the dates.
Is there a way to make the combination, the system not taking in account the delivery dates? Because we have huge no. of orders to combine. Please guide.
Regards,
Mansur.

Dear Mansur,
I think there is no any solution exaclty map with your problem in standard SAP.
Better you control based on the MRP type, not sure. And also check with availability check and tranfer of requirments.
Thnx,
