Dynamically change the pattern of numeric/decimal field in adobe

Hi, I have a ADOBE form created through SAP.
One of the field in the form is a numeric type and its property under Object>Cell>Display pattern is set as z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99.
I have a requirement that for a particular condition this field should display the values with four decimal places. I am not able to figure out what property to use in the scripting.
I tried fracDigits and Format. It does not work.
The decimal places always remains 2 as set in the display pattern.
Is there any way to change this display pattern dynamically based on a condition?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found the answer from other discussions in this forum. sorry to have overlooked it earlier.
The answer to my pbm is to use the Format.picture = "zz,zzz,zz9.9999"

Dynamically change the pattern of numeric field in adobe

I am using a adobe form to display Sales order ouput.
I have a requirement that for some kind of sales order the quantity field should be displayed with 2 decimal places and for some with 4 decimal places.
So i have made the field in the form with display pattern = z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99
and writing a FromCalc script as below.
if ( z_mix eq "X" ) then
Format ("z,zzz,zzz,zz9.9999", data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.value)
endif
i also tried
if ( z_mix eq "X" ) then
data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.format = "z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99"
endif
The problem is i am not able to understand what statement to be used to change the format of a numeric field.
When i replace the second code with
data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.presence = "hidden"
this functionality works. Which means i need to correct statement for pattern change of a numeric field.

Or if somebody can provide me with alternative solution is also welcom.
My requirement is a quanity field in the adobe form would be displaying either with 2 decimal place or 4 decimal place based on some condition.

Is it possible to dynamically change the image in a Picture Field?

Is it possible to dynamically change the image in a Picture Field?

Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

Dynamically change the binding of a field

Hi,
I've been looking all over the internet for 2 days to find the answer to my question, but I couldn't get any information on my problem. Here's what i'm trying to do :
Based on a checkbox in my form, I want to export or I don't want to export a field to a XML document.
My checkbox is working properly and I got the Send button with the XML working too. I only need to find a way to dynamically change the binding property of my field. I've read some informations with the ".bind.match", but I can't seem to make it work.
I'm using Windows XP, LiveCycle Designer ES2 v.9.0 and I have to run the form in Reader 8.0.
Thanks alot for your help, it's greatly appreciated.
Jonathan

Hi,
the binding cannot be changed at runtime.
You can use the checkbox to delete the value of the field so the exported xml contains an empty tag.
Or you try to delete the data node of the desired field in the data DOM (xfa.datasets).

Display pattern not working - add $ for a numeric/decimal field

I've designed a form which has fields where I need to display currency(US) values.
I've made the fields as numeric type. I've added the display pattern as num.currency{} and also tried with num{($z,zzz,zzz9.99)}. But nothing seems to be working.
The amount value passed in the xml input is 7,002.978.
The result that I'm getting now is $0.00
When I changed the field to decimal type and added the same display pattern as above, the result that I get is BLANK: $
I need to format it such a way that it displays $7,002.99 in the form. There's no limit for the leading digits and the digits after decimal point should be 2. Is there a way to get this by changing the "PATTERNS" properties?
Please let me know how I can get the pattern right.
I'm using LC Designer ES2.

Hi,
By default it is not going to like the comma in your xml input, so you will need to change the data pattern. Try using num{z,zz9.999}, which works for your example value. With the comma it will treat the value as text and just display what it gets.
If your display pattern is num.currency{} then you will get two decimal places, but that makes the value $7.002,98. I'm not sure how you get $7.002,99 ... is that just a type-o?

Can we change the data type of a field based on the value of the field

HI Gurus,
My Requirement is as below -- Could you please guide me
in the Printable Adobe form -- for ex - as usual for dates fields in the Object Pallette the object type is a date/time field and for quantity/currency fields corresponding fields are taken
now in case the either the date, quantity or currency is initial in place of displaying 0.00 or empty date we need to display N/A (Not Applicable)
for this I would like to change the data type of the field
to put it simply --
we need to change the data type of date field from DATE&TIME to Char type to hold N/A or Quantity field to Char field to hold N/A
how can we realize this in SAP adobe forms
Thanks in Advace
Ramchander Rao.K

Hello Ramchander,
     You cannot change the data type of the field at run time in Adobe forms because the type of field you choose at the time of design level is associated with the data type itself.
If you want to achieve your requirement, then your main idea should be to set the data type as CHARACTER itself while designing the field in the adobe form itself. CHAR field will comfortably hold the value of Calculation/amount field, Currency field, Amount, Date, Time HHMMSS, Unit Accuracy, Currency key, Floating point number, Numeric text, Client, Language and many other data types.
After designing the field as TEXT field in Adobe form you have two options.
Option 1:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms.
Suppose the name of the field is TEXTFIELD1, then write the Javascript code on this field in Initialize event as below.
if ( this.rawvalue == null )
     this.rawvalue = "N/A";
If the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
Option 2:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms. Do the formatting part in ABAP itself. It will increase the performance. Avoid Javascript as much as possible.
Suppose you have a DATE variable l_dats of type DATS. Then take another variable l_date of type CHAR. Then write the below ABAP code.
MOVE l_dats TO l_date.
IF l_date IS INITIAL.
     l_date = 'N/A'.
ENDIF.
Bind the l_date to the TEXT field in the form.
Even in this case, if the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
But I will suggest you to use Option 2 of keeping the AMOUNT, QUANTITY, DATE, TIME fields etc as CHAR or TEXT fields in Adobe form and do the required formatting in ABAP itself.

Format of a numeric/decimal field

Can we set the format of a decimal field to display zzz.999 without rounding off the value. For example,I have a decimal field with display & Edit pattern set as "zzz.999" and trailing digits limited to 3. If I enter a value 123.456, its ok. But if I put 123.4567 the value is rounded off and displayed as 123.457. Can we limit it somehow to truncate anything extra than 3 trailing digits.
Thanks
Shweta

Maybe not automatically, but you should be able to do this with a little JavaScript in the form.

How to dynamically change the text of a TextObject with embedded DataField?

Hi
I'm trying to dynamically change the text of a TextObject at runtime, by using the .NET library. My problem is that if one or more DatabaseFieldDefinition is embedded inside my text, I'm unable to change the "static text" only, by keeping the field, e.g. I have :
Text1 => "Contact Name: {Contact.Name}"
and I'd like to change it to anything else like:
Text1 => "Nom du Contact: {Contact.Name}"
Half of my TextObject is static text while second part comes from the dataset.
(of course the translation is dynamic - it is called at run-time and the new value to be set depends on the calling application language)
If I simply modify the Text property of my TextObject, the {Contact.Name} embedded field is not evaluated anymore by the Crystal Engine, but considered as a single text.
Using formulas or parameters looks quite difficult, because it means having many ones just for translation needs - I cannot control the way my users will create their reports and "force them" to use complex methods just in order to put a text and a value together...
Anyone knows how to deal with that ?

Only way I can think of doing this:
1) Create a formula (call it lang) and enter the string "Contact Name" in it
2) Place the {Contact.Name} field next to the string
3) So now you have:
ContactName: {Contact.Name}
4) Check what localization you are after. If you need "Nom du Contact", change the lang formula so it shows "Nom du Contact" using the code below:
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Dim Report As New CrystalReport1()
Dim FormulaFields As FormulaFieldDefinitions
Dim FormulaField As FormulaFieldDefinition
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
FormulaFields = Report.DataDefinition.FormulaFields
FormulaField = FormulaFields.Item(0)
FormulaField.Text = "[formula text]"
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Report
End Sub
I realize this may not give you consistent spacing as the translations may have strings of differnt length. Perhaps someone has other idea(s)...

Dynamically changing the layout of thre report-urgent please

Can we change the layout of the report dynamically during runtime for example:the user should have flexibility to change the width, size , position of columns before the report is displayed & also he choose some fields not to display as per his discretion.
Mahesh

There are several ways of doing this, it really depends on your requirements as to which is suitable. (There are probably other ways of doing this as well).
- Try Reports XML Customizations
This is available in 6i and allows you to create a report dynamically on the fly. The template used will also allow you to change the paper size as well. The main limitation is that you are relying only on Reports defaulting to create the layout for you. The advantage is that you can store all your information to create the report in meta-data which can be driven by another tool.
- Use lexical parameters for queries and format triggers
Here, you have a fixed layout but dynamically change the query columns to the correct order. You would normally standardise on a "character" column type in order to do this. Even though the layout is fixed, you can use variable sized fields to push objects around. This can be difficult to setup.
- Use several layouts
You're reducing the options for the user, but you can have several layouts in the same report and turn them on/off. Effectively creating differing views of the same data.

Dynamically change the Binding of a view object

I want to reuse a panel several times in my application. The VO has one bind parameter (:1). The same panel should be reused several times with different bind variables.
I found a technical note concerning this issue called: How to Dynamically Change the binding of a View Object to a JClient Panel. This works for JDeveloper 9i but not for JDeveloper 19g. Does anybody know how to dynamically change the binding in JDeveloper 10g

You may use bindRowSetIterator() and pass in a custom fetched ViewObject or a RowSetIterator to the iterator binding that is displayed in your panel.

Dynamically change the Priority Group of Logical Table Sources in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have 2 Logical Table Sources(LTS 1 and LTS 2 for a Logical Table in BMM Layer).
Example: Logical Table : Sample
LTS Source 1 : Sample 1(Priority Group Set to 1)
LTS Source 2 : Sample 2(Priority Group Set to 0)
I have set the Priority Group of Sample 1 LTS Source to 1 and Priority Group of Sample 2 LTS Source to 0.
I need to dynamically change the Priority Group of Sample 1 LTS Source to 0 if my role is DEVELOPER where role is a column in database.
If my role is not equal to DEVELOPER then the Priority Group of Sample 1 LTS Source will remain same(1).
Please suggest how can i achieve this.
Thanks,
Soukath Ali

hello Soukath Ali,
didi you find a way to dinamically changing Priority Group?
thanks,

Dynamically changing the name of the .dll file to load in call Library

Our current model is to use dll files as "plug-in" modules for instruments and a top layer test step calls the appropriate driver dll.
For instance
the TestStep is called with the kenmore.dll passed as a parameter so the kenmore.dll file is loaded, the functions are registered and the functions are called. Next the TestStep is called with whirlpool.dll as a parameter now the whirlpool.dll is loaded the functions are registered and the functions are called. This works very well in our current CVI/LabWindows environment. Now we plan to work with LabView, we wish to retain this model (as DLL files, there are advantages in our model for us). We have not found a way to load these dll files from LabView without hard coding the path and filenames in.
Any suggestions on how to dynamically change the path in the Call Library module, or another suggested method of loading the dll via LabView?
Thanks,

As Ben has pointed out LabVIEW
scripting may be a possibility but you are going with that in highly
unsupported area. Also I happen to know that changing the library name
of a Call Library Node through scripting has produced unsupported
feature errors previous to LabVIEW 7.1 eventhough the method was there.
And LabVIEW 8 hides the whole scripting business behind the license
manager.
Another approach at least if the different DLLs do not change to often
thier functions and parameters would be to create a wrapper DLL. Have
it a method that loads the desired DLL and links its functions to
internal function pointers. Then when calling the actual function entry
points just redirect directly to the correct fucntion through that
function pointer. Since you are already working in CVI creating such a
DLL should be only a matter of taking out a little bit of your already
existing code and put it into a DLL project.
