How to change the Display Pattern for Decimal Fields dynamically

hi all,
Can any one help me how to change the display pattern for decimal fields dynamically???
Currently I am using z,zzz,zzz,zz9.999 Display pattern for Quantity Field. If the value is blank it is displaying as 0.000 on the Screen. But I don't want this to be printed.
Please help me how to solve this ASAP.
Thanks,
Prabhu

Hi,
Alternatively you can handle it in the context.
In the context area, click on the quantity. In the bottom, click on the conditions tab, and put a condition
<quan field> NE initial.
So the field will not be printed if there is no value.

Hi,
Input Help on the Screen
Within the Screen Painter, you can define two types of input help:
1. The FIELD statement with one of the additions VALUES or SELECT.
2. Linking a search help directly to a screen field.
If you link a search help directly to a screen field, it overrides the additions of the FIELD
statement. However, the input check [Page 581] functions of the FIELD statement remain
unaffected.
Input Help in Flow Logic
The following input help methods are obsolete and should not be used. They are still supported
for compatibility reasons.
In the screen flow logic, you can specify a value list for a screen field <f> as follows:
FIELD <f> VALUES (<val1>, <val2>,...).
The value list contains a series of single values <vali>. The NOT and BETWEEN additions for the
input check [Page 581] are not appropriate for input help.
You can also create a value list by accessing a database table as follows:
FIELD <f> SELECT *
FROM <dbtab>
WHERE <k1> = <f1> AND <k2> = <f2> AND...
In the WHERE condition, the fields of the primary key <ki> of the database table <dbtab> are
checked against the screen fields <fi>. The WHENEVER addition, used with input checks [Page
581], is not necessary for input help.
If you have used a ABAP Dictionary reference for field <f>, the selection and the hit list formatting
may be affected by any check table attached to the field.
Attaching a Search Help
Search helps from the ABAP Dictionary can be attached to a screen field [Ext.]. To do this, enter
the name of the search help in the corresponding field in the attributes of the screen field in the
Screen Painter. This assigns the first parameter of the search help to the screen field. It is only
possible to place a value from the hit list onto the screen.
Input help on a screen.
REPORT DEMO_DYNPRO_F4_HELP_DYNPRO MESSAGE-ID AT.
DATA: CARRIER(3) TYPE C,
CONNECTION(4) TYPE C.
CALL SCREEN 100.
MODULE CANCEL INPUT.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
ENDMODULE.
The next screen (statically defined) for screen 100 is itself. It has the following layout:
602 April 2001
Cancel
Airline
Flight number
Screen field with search help
Input help in the flow logic
The input fields have been adopted from the program fields CARRIER and
CONNECTION. The function code of the pushbutton is CANCEL, with function type
E. The search help DEMO_F4_DE with the search help parameter CARRID is
assigned to the screen field CARRIER. The search help uses the database table
SCARR.
The screen flow logic is as follows:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE CANCEL AT EXIT-COMMAND.
FIELD CARRIER VALUES ('AA', 'LH').
FIELD CONNECTION SELECT *
FROM SPFLI
WHERE CARRID = CARRIER
AND CONNID = CONNECTION.
When the user chooses the input help for the individual fields, the following input
help is displayed:
For the Airline field, the search help displays the names of the airlines and places the airline
code in the input field for the chosen line. If the airline code is not one of those listed in the
VALUES list of the screen flow logic, the input check triggers an error message in the PAI
event. So the search help overrides the VALUES addition for the input help, but not for the
input checks. This is therefore not an appropriate place to use the VALUE addition.
For the Flight number field, the flow logic displays the selected entries from the database
table SPFLI and places the selected line in the input field.

Display width for report fields

Hi all
Has anyone determined how to control the display width for fields using the report / report with form wizards ? I am not clear how to define, for example, that a field that seems to get 'wrapped' (thus taking up 2 lines) should be wider, so that it fits on one line, or alternatively that fields much longer than the data values are reduced in length so as to fit more columns within the visible area of the screen ?
Should I do this in the UI Defaults for the table ? Is it down to the report region templates (if so where, how) or ideally is this something I can change when editting the report attributes. (I have tried this and failed).
thanks, Jules.

Jules,
This is a combination of Region Templates, Report Templates, and the data in your reports. Region and Report templates are the best places to do this, but you can force some things... & n b s p ; (without spaces) is a non-breaking space. If you replace your spaces ( replace(column_name, ' ', '& nbsp ;') ) you can force at least some things not to break. You can ensure that certain columns are wider by setting the column headings with
Name
Really, though, I think you need to look at your region and report templates.

Authorization Objects for Multiple Fields on a Screen

Hi,
I have a requirement to create authorization object on a screen with 20 fields and there are 3 users, each user for eg: User-A has rights to Display and modify a few fields and User-B has rights to diplay and modify a few fields and same is the case for the 3rd user, and there are some fields which all can modify.
what i can do is create 2 authorization objects for each user one with all fields that he can modify & Display and other with all fields which he can display only. In this way i will have to create 6 authorization objects for 3 users, is there a way to reduce to 3, one for each user or even bring it down to 1 for all.
Thanks,
Thirumal

Hi again,
1. Thanks for the transparent example.
2. Taking the same,
 it would be like this, in the program.
( u must agree that
if there are six different cases,
then there will be six different IF ENDIF
in your program, for edit/display combination of fields)
(you may also use GROUP1, GROUP2..GROUP4
concept along with authorisation concept
to group related fields )
2. suppose user2 or user 1 has logged in.
3. in the program,
 before displaying the fields,
a) use authority-check
 with 1, 2 and check sy-subrc to know
 which VALUE (1,2) is there for rights.
 b)then, logic would be like this
 (for display/edit of all fields)
 IF value = 1.
 field1-visible = true
 field1-editable = true
 field2-visible = true
 field2-editable = true
 field3-visible = true
 field3-editable = true
 endif.
 if value = 2.
 field1-visible = true
 field1-editable = false
 field2-visible = true
 field2-editable = false
 endif.

Can't get field labels to display above for multiple fields in one cell

I've tried searching for how to fix this to no avail. I'm new to Apex and I'm trying to get 5 fields on one line with labels above each: salutation, first name, middle initial, last name and title. I've set New Line and New Field to No for all but the first item. With the labels for each field set to Right, everything displays on one line. With the labels set to Above, fields are displayed on separate lines and I'm not sure why. There are other fields on the form as well but they are each on their own line. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My Apex version is 4.1.1.00.23. I'm running the standalone Apex Listener (current version from 7/12) with a 10g database.
Thanks

Hi,
have you tried to set New Field to Yes? If that doesn't work, a test case on apex.oracle.com would be great. That's the easiest way to show you how it works.

Smartform-Suppress Zero and Display Zero for same field in Diff Conditions?

Hi,
I have a scenario in smartform, where for a quantity field of length p15 and Dec3, needs to display ZERO for one scenario and display SPACE for another condition. To display ZERO i have made it as &quantity(c)&, so that i can display zero. It displays ZERO, but for another condition, when i want to display space, there also it displays 0.000 ! how to display SPACE there ?
thanks,
Padma

Hi,
I think then in that case we need to use (NZ) I am not sure. But however why don't you use the Condition Tab in the Text by Including the Condition Quantity > 0.000.
Please let me know if anyone of this works for you.

I need to add the Description for a field to the dispForm.aspx page

I have some information stored in the description area of a field that needs to show up on the dispform.aspx page. It shows up on the editform.aspx but not dispform.aspx
I know there has got to be a way to do it with some JQuery or something, can someone steer me?
L.

Hi, I know this is an older post but I was looking for the same guidance. I couldn't find it either. :)
So I started working backwards from this command that I know works for displaying the history of the multiline boxes when there are multiple versions:
<tr><td class="ms-formlabel">Comments</td>
<td class="ms-formbody" colspan="3"><xsl:value-of select="@Comments" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
<SharePoint:AppendOnlyHistory runat="server" FieldName="Comments" ControlMode="Display" ItemId="{@ID}"/></td></tr>
So checking out the “SharePoint: AppendOnlyHistory” brought me here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.webcontrols.appendonlyhistory(v=office.15).aspx
Which I followed until I found this …
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.sharepoint.webcontrols.fielddescription(v=office.15).aspx
So with some experimenting I found that this works:
<td class="ms-formlabel"><SharePoint:FieldDescription runat="server" FieldName="ESCFReason" ControlMode="Edit" ItemId="{@ID}"/></td>
<td class="ms-formbody"><xsl:value-of select="@ESCFReason" disable-output-escaping="yes" /></td>
