Dropdown date fields?

Hi Folks, I'm new to Acrobat, and am trying to do a favour for a friend by making a fillable .pdf. I'm using Windows 7, and using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.
There's quite a few date fields. I'd like a dropdown for them, where the used can scroll and click on a date. This seems like a ridiculously common thing. Is it an available 'thing' on Acrobat? Where would I find it?
It seems like a common enough requirement for forms that it would be something preset and 'plonkable'.
With thanks,
Sandi

Do you mean that you want a drop down that contains all the dates between
date X and date Y? I haven't seen such a thing before, but it can be
scripted.
Or do you mean that you want to use a set of drop-downs to specify the
date, like one for the day, one for the month and one for the year? That's
more common, but if you want to prevent the user from entering invalid
dates it also requires some scripting.
There's also a date picker widget that you can integrate into your form,
like this one: http://www.formrouter.com/tools/index.html

Data in dropdown list field are empty in PDF form

Hi all.
Viewing a pdf form created with SAP interactive Forms offline method, the data in the dropdown list field are empty.
The data in the dropdown list field are generated by xml file produced by an abap report.
The problem occurs opening the form with Adobe Reader 8.1 or higher. Using Adobe Reader release 7.0.9 everything is ok.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advanced.
Best Regards.
Moreno

Hi Otto,
the only release of Adobe Reader that work is 7.0.9. Release 8.1 and 9 have the same problem where the data in the dropdown list field are empty.
At the end of the trace file in Adobe Reader 9.0.3 I find this error message:
"Invalid version: The current version of the XFA template model exceeds the capability of Acrobat / Adobe Reader 7.0.5."
The form has been created using Adobe Lifecycle Design 7.1.
Any idea?
Thanks

Date field in Arabic - dropdown disappears

I have created a date field in one of the application using WD ABAP. In logon language as English the date field appears with a dropdown through which I can select a date from the calendar. However if I change the user master to select Hijra calendar the drop down option of the date field disappeared.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Karthik.

Thanks Riky. The issue is that the dropdown should bring the calendar in Hijra (Islamic calendar). However there is no drop down at all. I checked the same against the services developed using Java WD (Leave Application). Even there the instead of Hijra calendar Gregorian calendar is only displayed.
If I change the date format (T-code SU01 - Defaults) , the ECC applications are showing the Hijra calendar. However in portal I am not able to see the hijra calendar at all.
The AWD applications that work fine in Gregorian calendar, does not even show the drop down option when the format is set to Hijra.

Using a parmater field for a Date field using the "in the period" selection

Users would like to fetch records using the "in the period" record selection. They would like to be prompted on the period to run the report. ie
MonthToDate
YearToDate
Last7Days
Last4WeeksToSun
LastFullWeek
LastFullMonth
AllDatesToToday
etc...
I've created a parameter with a dropdown list of values. However the parmeter field I created isn't available as a value in the date field in the "Select Record Expert" function.
Is there a work around?

Ron,
Unfortunately you still have a little bit more work to do... but not much.
You need to add a formula to your selection criteria. Something along these lines:
IF {?DateRange} = "MonthToDate" THEN {TableName.DateField} in MonthToDate ELSE
IF {?DateRange} = "YearToDate" THEN {TableName.DateField} in YearToDate ELSE
IF {?DateRange} = "Last7Days" THEN {TableName.DateField} in Last7Days ELSE
IF {?DateRange} = "Last4WeeksToSun" THEN {TableName.DateField} in Last4WeeksToSun ELSE
IF {?DateRange} = "LastFullWeek" THEN {TableName.DateField} in LastFullWeek ELSE
IF {?DateRange} = "LastFullMonth" THEN {TableName.DateField} in LastFullMonth ELSE
IF {?DateRange} = "AllDatesToToday" THEN {TableName.DateField} in AllDatesToToday
On the plus side, you'll be able to go back into your parameter and add some spaces to list options... which will look better for the end users.
HTH,
Jason

Missing Date fields in table maintenance generation

I have some non-key date fields in my custom table and have noticed that they do not get generated on the overview screen of my two-step table maintenance dialog. They are present on the detail screen.
If I change the domain of the fields to CHAR they appear.
If I change the maintenance type to one-step they appear.
It seems it is standard behaviour for date fields to be omitted from the overview screen.
Can anyone confirm that this is standard behaviour or give an explanation for date fields being treated in this manner?...or come up with a way of including the fields on the header screen.
I already know that I can:
1. customize the screen to include the fields
2. create a non-date domain for the fields which uses date-type calendar dropdown
Thanks,
Neil

Thankyou Jonathan, I would have been too lazy to go into debug if I didn't have the form name you supplied! It wasn't the reason you suspected but it was failing the following check in that routine:
maintenance in list screen required?
      CHECK p_tvdir-type = one_step_maint OR
       ( <w_dfies>-keyflag NE space    "force only keyfields
        OR ( 'CHARNUMC' CS <w_dfies>-datatype     "and view char-fields
         AND p_skip_fields = space )
        OR ( 'CHARNUMC' CS <w_dfies>-datatype     "and view char-fields
         AND <w_dfies>-intlen GE 20 )       "int 3263961/2000
        OR <w_dfies>-rollname = 'BEGDA'    "time dependence
        OR <w_dfies>-rollname = 'ENDDA'    "time dependence
        OR <w_dfies>-tabname NE p_gencb-viewname ). "or text table field
Because the datatype was DATS.......looks like it will only include key fields and CHAR, NUMC non-key fields or those with a rollname of BEGDA/ENDDA or texttable fields. In debug I changed the datatype to CHAR and it generated with my field included. I think there might be an OSS note to fix this but haven't found it yet.

Variable Date Field

Problem Background
I've created a form for mulitple users to fill out on a regular basis.
Some of the date fields are set to automatically tabulate the current date, while others are set to present the user with a dropdown menu.
The automatic date feature saves a lot of time for the vast majority of circumstances, but I've had several requests for the field to offer the additional option of displaying "TBD" or "See below for explanation".
Question
Is it possible to concurrently offer automatic date formatting and a custom field option in the same field?
Thank you for your thoughts!

Hi Gerben,
I tried this and it yielded unacceptable(expected) results. Here is why i think this is the case.
=Time.expression(Time.nextTimeWindowOpening(Time.now('America/Regina'), 'System_Week_WorkDays'), 'add 7 days') suppose to only be open m-f
Time.now() should evaluate to today lets say 02/21/11
then Time.nextTimeWindowOpening should return the next open day, after but including today, it checks and finds today is open so = 02/21/11
and the time expression will add n= 7 days to that. 02/21/11 + 7 = 02/28/11 this is wrong.
According to this calendar it should be 03/01/11
Problem is that the add function is just adding n days indiscriminate of the calendar as the calendar is not part of the addition argument.

Restricting date selection of the calender date field

Right now we have a web app where you choose the starting date of a work week. We're using the calender date field to get that date. However, our client wants to restrict that to just the Mondays of the month. Is it possible to do this?

Hi Nagy,
The way I would approach this is by implementing that kind of calendar picker myself, from some jQuery plugin or maybe a couple of simple dropdowns, and then use javascript to populate the current date field which would be hidden. You just have to make sure that the date format looks like this:
03-Oct-2012

DSO - What key fields and data fields in dso

Hi experts,
I need to create a dso in between the cube and 2 data sources(2lis_11_vaitm, 2lis_12_vcscl) to stage the data. My question is: what key fields and data fields to choose for the dso? is there a standard dso to copy? please explain in detail the model to set up, whether to connect both the ds's to dso and then to cube or one ds to dso and the other to the cube. more details will help.

Check this for standard DSO:

Key Fields & Data Fields in DSO.

In Standard DSO, Maximum how many number of key fields and data fields we can enter in one DSO?
For e.g : In Cube Char - 248 KF - 233
In DSO Key Fields - ? Data Fields - ?
Regrards,
Nithi.

Hi Nithi,
Since Key fields are decide by us we can add according to our requirement.
Key fields can only be 16 you cannot exceed this. but if you have more key fields, you can combine fields using a routine for a key field
Max Data Fields - 749 data fields can be added in a DSO.
Warm regards

Error While using date fields in HIbernate Criteraia

I am trying a sample applciation using Hibernate with JPA. I am using annotations to map database table with Java class.I am using org.hibernate.Criteria to form where clause. My code looks as follows:
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("PERSISTANCE_UNIT");
EntityManger em = emf.createEntityManager();
Session session = em.getDelegate();
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(MyDO.class)
criteria.add(Restrictions.eq("myDO.date",myDO.getDate()));
List list = criteria.list();
I am searching the data base based on the date field (myDO is an instance of MyDO.class which contains the mapping to the data base table). While running the application first time after publishing to server, I am getting the following error. For subsequent running of the application I am not getting any error and the appliaction was running with actual results.

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.
