Hi .. Here is the solution ...
Hi &V_NAME&
Thanks
XXXXXXXX
U need to get the value of
V_NAME
from the SF.
If u have the value of the variable in an internal table, then
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
V_NAME = WA-NAME.
ENDLOOP.
I think this will be useful.

I want to change the value of a text and this text is called by another text value..

i have a txt_blk1 up to txt_blk32 and i also have a txt_we .. if the text_we.text has a value of 1 to 32 how can i change the value of txt_block0-32.text to 0.. the text we already generates its own value so i dont have to use for loop. i've tried to use _root["txt_blk"+txt_we.text] = 0; im using actionscript 2 .. can someone help me

i'm sorry sir.. its just that im on a hurry and i need all the help that i can get for my thesis.. so while i havent figure out what to do for this problem.. i have to move to another problem just to save time. and another thing is i don't really know where did i go wrong..

Dynamically change the value in order by clause (urgent)

Could any one help atall with this.
I have a cursor within a procedure and i want to be able to pass parameter into the procedure so that the record fetched by the cursor can be ordered by the parameter passed in.
For instance
create or replace procedure select_all(p_order_by in varchar2) is
cursor r_cur (c_order_by in varchar2) is
select empno,empname,job,manager,salary
from emp
ordry by c_order_by;
r_rec r_cur%rowtype;
lv_order_by varchar2(30);
begin
lv_order_by := p_order_by;
for r_rec in r_cur(lv_order_by) loop
dbms_output.put_line(empno||empname||job||manager||salary);
end loop;
end;
I have obviously done it as written above but the output is not ordered by the value i passed into the procedure when ran. Is the a better way to achieve the desired result?

I handle dynamic order by using dynamic sql
create or replace procedure select_all
               (p_order_by in varchar2) is
TYPE               RefCurTyp is REF CURSOR;
CV                    REFCURTYP;
v_sql_stmt VARCHAR2(4000) ;
r_rec r_cur%rowtype;
BEGIN
v_sql_stmt := 'select empno,empname,job,manager,salary '||
                            ' from emp ' ||
                            ' ORDER BY '||p_order_by ;
open CV for v_sql_stmt;
loop
        fetch CV into r_rec ;
                exit when CV%NotFound;
        dbms_output.put_line(r_rec.empno||' '||r_rec.empname||' '||r_rec.job||' '||r_rec.manager||' '||r_rec.salary);
end loop;
close CV;

Hi!
For conversion you can use the function module
data :   w_amt         TYPE cms_dte_original_amt,
                                                                                " Amount
            w_conv_amt    TYPE cms_dte_conv_amt,
                                                                                " Converted amount
            w_kmein       TYPE cms_dte_original_curr,
   CALL FUNCTION 'CMS_API_CURR_CONV'
        EXPORTING
          i_original_curr = w_kmein
          i_original_amt = w_amt
          i_result_curr   = 'INR'
          i_rate_type     = 'M'
          i_conv_date     = sy-datum
        IMPORTING
          e_conv_amt      = w_conv_amt.
now accordingly you can move the currency and amount that is changed....
here as you were saying that on f4 after selecting you want the other field to get the value on that currency.....
this work can be done as here....
in this the next field gets populated as the first field gets the value......
refer to it.....

Dynamically change the value of a select list in form based on a table

Hi Friends,
I am using a form based on a table. I want to display two fields as select lists instead of text boxes and when a value
in a select list is selected, the corresponding values will be listed in the next select list. For example if department
value is selected in a select list the employees in that department will be listed in the employee select list. I saw a
metthod using ajax for achieving this in tabular form in Denes's sample application[Click Here| http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:176:462842537250908::NO] .
Is there any way to achieve the same for a form based on a table,
Thanks,

Hi Andy,
Could you tell me how I could use your example with multiple Application Items?
My page has 3 cascading select lists. The second is dependent on the first and the third is dependent on both the first and second. I thought I would just need to add the second application item as a get, but not sure what the syntax would be. I have troubleshooted to the point where my select list refreshes when I have one in the javascript...just not sure how to add the additional one?
Here's what I have (I have been referencing your 'Get Employees' page)
My Page Items:
P0_VENDOR_ID
P0_VENDOR_SITE_ID
P0_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID
My Application Items:
F_VDR_ID
F_VDR_SITE_ID
My query in the application process has both F_VDR_SITE_ID and F_VDR_ID in it.
My javascript function...this worked OK until I added the additional get.add('F_VDR_SITE_ID')
function getItems(filter, listName)
var xml = null;
var list = document.getElementById(listName);
var listvalue = list.value;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'), 'APPLICATION_PROCESS=Set_Items',4);
get.add('F_VDR_ID', filter.value);
get.add('F_VDR_SITE_ID', filter.value);
ret = get.get('XML');
if(ret)
var s = ret.getElementsByTagName("select");
if(s){
var o = ret.getElementsByTagName("option");
var oCount = o.length;
list.options.length = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < oCount; i++){
var l_Opt_Xml = o;
appendToSelect(list, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'), l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue);
list.value = listvalue;
if (list.selectedIndex == -1)
list.selectedIndex = 0;
get = null;

BAdi HRPAD00INFTY - Dynamically change the value of Wage amount in Infotype

Hello all,
I am implementing BAdi HRPAD00INFTY for infotype 0008.
The requirement is, whenever user checks/saves Infotype 8, System should look out FTE wage type exists or not. If it exists then amount should be calculated and get updates for that wage type. If wage type not found insert wagetype FTE and amount in the infotype for the employee.
I have calculated amount in method AFTER_INPUT of the BAdi. I am trying to reflect the updated amount on the screen using method CL_HR_PNNNN_TYPE_CAST=>PNNNN_TO_PRELP. but it is not working.
I also tried to use the same method CL_HR_PNNNN_TYPE_CAST=>PNNNN_TO_PRELP in BEFORE_OUTPUT method.
Can somebody help me on this?
Any pointer would be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

OBIEE 10g AGO Function Dynamically Change the Heading

I created columns in my rpd named Sales Previous Month, Sales 2 months ago and Sales 3 months ago using the AGO Function. This is working fine.
My problem is when displaying these headings the users would like to see the Month Name instead of the Headings I created. For example if looking at a report for January the users would like to see:
Sales Previous Month = December
Sales 2 Months ago = November
Sales 3 Months ago = October
Is there any way to dynamically change the value of the column header to show the name of the month?

Hi SriniVEERAVALLI,
Thanks for the reply. I have found that I might haven't created the relationship between dimension and fact tables correctly.
I initially created the foreign key relationship (instead of creating complex join) in physical diagram between the dimension and fact table. And the relationship type is hence greyed out.
I have deleted the foreign key relationship in physical diagram. Then
1. In physical diagram, create complex join between dimension and fact . The relationship is 'inner' and can't be changed.
2. In Logical table diagram, create foreign key between dimension and fact . The relationship can be changed (inner, outer, etc).
Is this the correct way?
I tried these on two newly created dummy tables and it worked.

Hi i'm doing the same thing with an input text
here is my code
jspx:
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.MiddleName.inputValue}"
label="#{bindings.MiddleName.hints.label}"
required="#{bindings.MiddleName.hints.mandatory}"
columns="#{bindings.MiddleName.hints.displayWidth}"
maximumLength="#{bindings.MiddleName.hints.precision}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.MiddleName.hints.tooltip}"
id="it4" autoSubmit="true">
<f:validator binding="#{bindings.MiddleName.validator}"/>
<af:clientListener type="valueChange" method="mo_UpperCase"/>
</af:inputText>
js:
function mo_UpperCase(event){
var inputField = event.getSource();
if (event.getNewValue().toUpperCase()!=event.getNewValue())
inputField.setValue(event.getNewValue().toUpperCase());
In my case i change the input text to upercase when the value is changing
I hope it works with output text also,
change my examples clientlistener type from valueChange to mouseOver
If you have more than one component and you need to pass parameters check this thread also:

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)...

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.

Changing the value of a control in a subvi

I think the answer is out there somewhere but I've read through many threads found with searches similar to this topic so sorry to repost...
I would like to change the value of a top-level VI control from a sub-vi. The data is being used as a parameter, I was thinking about using a local/global but I've seen this discouraged. Is there a way I can do it with references, property, or invoke nodes (or some other suggested method) ?
I am guessing that if I am not using globals I will need to wire into the sub-vi?
Dave

I'd like to clarify what I am trying to do a bit more...
The sub-vi has a control of the same type as the top-level vi. The inital control value is being passed into the sub-vi from the top-level vi. The sub-vi uses the control value in several places through local variables (reading and writing to it)
I would like to modify the vi so the top-level vi control value changes whenever the sub-vi changes the control value that is passed to it.
My last attempt was to make a refnum control in the sub-vi (by dragging from top-level block diagram to sub front panel) and then creating a property node from that refnum control. Using the property node "value" did not give me the value of the control from the top-level vi as I had hoped. Wiring it to a terminal that was expecting the same type of control (a cluster of two numerics) caused a wiring conflict.
I noticed elsewhere in the code that the programmer used a text file to save options (unfortunately the control I am working on was not originially included in the options). There is a vi that, when called, either reads or writes to the text file. From a C/C++ programming perspective it seems quite odd to me not to just keep all this data in memory and pass it around. Is using a file to store variables a typical practice in LV programming (even when they are retrieved multiple times during program execution) ?

Dynamically change the value in standard text
