Dynamically setting field attributes based on input

Hi all,
I am trying to see if it is possible to dynamically set field attributes depending on other fields. For example, in screen 1100 of IQ01, I want to make it so that "Certification number" becomes mandatory if "certification status" = 1, and becomes optional if "certification status" = 2,3 or 4.
Is this possible? If so, how?
Regards,
D.

Have you checked this
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/9f/dbab6f35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
if your requirement is to do this in Tcode IQ01 then the above answer is not sufficient

How to set field attributes type such as enumeration / boolean / text in Search UIBB when creating search creatria dynamically using default_config?

Hi Experts !
I am trying to build search UIBB where I need to configure the search criteria dynamically in the IF_FPM_GUIBB_SEARCH~GET_DEFAULT_CONFIG method.
Please can anyone tell me is it possible to set the attribute types in dynamic configuration .... because I need to create a drop down field in the selection screen.
Thanks !

Was it really necessary to post the whole API description?!?
Locale[] locales = Locale.ENGLISH();ENGLISH is not a method in class Locale, so do not add the braces "( );".
Also, the constant ENGLISH is not an array, but just a single Locale object.
You didn't say what your problem was. What do you want to achieve with your program and what is it that you don't understand?

Setting fields mandatory based on other fields

Hi,
In my adobe form there are 4 input fields(F1,F2,F3 and F4) and one field(F5) which is input optional. But if any field (F1, F2,F3 or F4) gets changed, the fifth field F5 has to be mandatory. I guess some java scrip is required but I dont have any idea on the same.
Please help.

we have a similar situation where a field must be filled in if a value is chosen in our dropdown box.
you can throw a popup message stating that the field must be filled...
JavaScript
xfa.host.messageBox("This is a message", 3, 1);
FormCalc
xfa.host.messageBox("This is a message", 3, 1)
A valid integer representing the value of the button pressed by the user:
u2022 1 (OK)
u2022 2 (Cancel)
u2022 3 (No)
u2022 4 (Yes)
Or what we did is just checked all the values after the SUBMIT and issued error messages in a message area letting the user know what they missed.

How to set fields contained in an input structure as not mandatory in WSDL

Hi all,
I hope someone can help me sort out a problem I've been having recently.
I'm generating a WSDL from a function module, which has a structure as the only input parameter. This structure contains a number of fields, which need to be presented as not mandatory in the WSDL descriptor.
I modified the function module by setting the structure and all its contained fields as not mandatory, but when I generate the related WSDL it shows the structure as optional and its subfields as mandatory.
Below is a snippet of the WSDL:
<xsd:element name="Zk4RfcTibcoFatt">
   <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:element name="XZk4Headprev" type="tns:Zk4Headprev" minOccurs="0" />       <-- optional structure
      </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:complexType name="Zk4Headprev">
   <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="RecordType" type="n0:char4" />                                                    <-- non optional parameters
      <xsd:element name="IdricTecn" type="n0:char15" />
      <xsd:element name="IdricFour" type="n0:char15" />
      <xsd:element name="CodOperaz" type="n0:char4" />
   </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
I can't understand why the stucture's elements are not defined as optional in the WSDL, while they're configured as optional in the function module definition. I'd expect a minOccurs="0" added to each structure's element definition.
I even tried modifying manually the WSDL from SE80, but it seems it can't be altered in any way.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

I tried to do that, but I can't manage to edit the WSDL in SE80, is there a way to do it?
I also tried modifying the WSDL in an external editor, but I can't find a way to switch the edited one with the original one in SAP.
Can you please help me on that?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Dynamic setting name attribute for f:facet

Hello everyone!
I'm new here and I really need help with JSF problem.
I have a tomahawk tree2 component and TreeNode class to render on JSF page. The problem I have is:
"Unable to locate facet with the name: xyz". That's why I need to dynamically generate a name in getTree
method. I've tried to also dynamically generated it in JSF file: <f:facet name="#{Bean.property}">
But it won't work, probably because of JSF's life cycle I suppose.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much for answers!

I am assuming that each page has that field on it ...right? The expression that you have created only will access a single field. Each field has a unique expression. To see the expression make the field editable and on th eenter event of th efield add the javascript code app.alert(this.somExpression). Now render your form and click in th efield on each page ....you will see a different somExpression for each object. Typically the page occurance number will increase. So you will need to set each of those fields off ....not just 1. You can do this with by knowing th enumber of pages and then using a for loop to go through each instance and setting the presence property off.
On your second query, the resolveNode accepts a string ......that string gets resolved at runtime into an object then the presence of that object is manipulated. At design time the product only knows that you have a string not an object hence the object assist cannot determine what should be shown. That is why you do not see anything in the object assist.

Dynamic table rows created based on input value

I've been searching the forum for either a tutorial or input
on how to create a table where the number of rows are based on a
user input value. I can't seem to find anything on this.
Here's what I'm trying to do. I have site where people are
charged based on the number of items they register. So if they want
to register 2 items. They would input the number 2 for quanity and
I would display a dynamic table with 2 rows. The user will input
their data for the 2 items and I insert this into an
itemsRegistered table. If they entered 4 I would give them 4 rows
for input. I am using dreamweaver with PHP and MySql database. Can
anyone point me in the right direction. Any help would be
appreciated!

Not exactly. The items are all the same but have a different
registration number (like a serial number). So if the user wants to
register 2 items. They would input the number 2 on the form. Then 2
rows would appear on the table, one for each registration number.
When they finish entering the data it would be inserted into the
database as 2 records.
So for example if item 1 has registration number 10000 and
item 2 has registration number 11000. The registration numbers are
unique. The table would look like this :
CustomerID (links to customer table)
RegistrationID (Unique in this table)
ItemColor
ItemShape
I don't know if I've explained this well but thanks for even
attempting to answer this! I really appreciate it!

Dynamically set a value based on value selected from LOV

Apex 4.2
I'm having trouble creating a dynamic action to set a value. I've used dynamic actions to hide and show regions but for some reason cannot set a value.
I have a select list --> P101_LIST. Source Type is 'Database Column'. Source value or expression is 'person_id' The query is as follows:
Select first_name, person_id
From Persons
I have a display value --> P101_DISPLAY. Source Type is 'Static Assignment'. Source value or expression I left blank.
I would like for every time the user selects a name from P101_LIST, the P101_DISPLAY item gets updated to show the corresponding value(person_id).
Because there are other page items / information on the page, I would prefer this to not submit / update the page. Wouldn't want other page items / information getting updated.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Create a DA:
- event onChange P101_LIST
- Action: PL/SQL
- PL/SQL code:
:P101_DISPLAY := :P101_LIST;
Items to submit: P101_LIST
Item to return: P101_DISPLAY
And done.

Joni

Make a field required based on input in another field

So I have researched the forum to answer the question of how to make certain fields in a form required if a value is entered in another designated field, and not required if no value is entered in the designated field.
For example:
There is a field titled QTY_paper, and if a value is entered into QTY_paper, then the field PROGRow1 should become required.
If no value is entered into QTY_paper, then PROGRow1 is not required.
I've tried both FormCalc and Javascript, but with no results. In FormCalc I added this script as a mouseExit event on QTY_paper:
if ($.isNull == 0) then
     //Make the budget field Required
     PROGRow1.validate.nullTest = "error";
endif
and then I added this script in FormCalc to the mouseExit event on PROGRow1:
if ($.isNull == 0) then
$.validate.nullTest = "disabled"
endif
This came almost verbatim from another post on the forum, so I'm thinking I'm missing something obvious here... which isn't too odd as I'm still pretty new at adding the scripts. Please help if you can!

You'd want to combine both scripts on the first field with an if/else statement. And I'd use the Exit event instead of Mouse Exit (not sure if Mouse Exit handles tabbing in and out of fields).
The first script should have worked, but with the second script you were asking if PROGRow1 was null, not QTY_paper.
FormCalc:
if ($.isNull) then
     PROGRow1.validate.nullTest = "error"
else
     PROGRow1.validate.nullTest = "disabled"
endif

Setting screen attributes for select-option in subscreen

Hello SDN Community, I have researched this extensively in forums and found much helpful information in getting the select-option working in a subscreen. Also found information that discussed using standard AT SELECTION-SCREEN statements to process the sub-screen with.
I encountered problems when that from the LOOP AT SCREEN within the AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT, I set the INPUT/OUPUT attributes to zero, the field was still open for input when it displayed. For when I do this on other fields of my screen, they are "greyed out".
Has anyone any experience setting field attributes from within loop at screen for embedded select-option subscreen? Would appreciate any insight you might have.
Thank you,
Dean Atteberry.
P.S.- I put this thru the debugger and I can see the INPUT and OUTPUT attributes getting changed. But when displays, it is like the change didn't happen.
Full description of my processing below...
I have a screen with four radio-buttons. Under the first radio-button is my embedded subscreen with one SELECT-OPTION for AUFNR. Under the other three radio-buttons are single fields declared regular way in main screen.
In my PBO of main screen I have loop at screen that enables/disables INPUT and OUPTUT attributes based on which radio-button is selected. This prevents confusion from user entering values in fields other than the one the radio-button is selected for.
For my embedded select-option subscreen, I have an AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT statement in which I have a LOOP AT SCREEN. Within that, based on radio-buttons, I either enable or disable the INPUT and OUTPUT attributes for the S_AUFNR-LOW and S_AUFNR-HIGH fields.

Hi Marcin, thank you for your reply. My "main screen" is not my "selection screen". Please allow me to further clarify...
My "main screen" has four radio buttons with a subscreen area under the first one and single fields under the others.
My "subscreen" is auto-generated by Selection-Screen and Select-Options statements which are in my TOP module.
I call my auto-generated select-option subscreen in my PBO with...
call subscreen sca_ordr including sy-repid scr_0121.
and in my PAI with...
call subscreen sca_ordr.
In order to do LOOP AT SCREEN for my system-generated select-option subscreen, I use the AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT event in which to put my loop.
When I walk thru this in the debugger, I can see it setting INPUT/OUTPUT fields to zero, but when the screen displays, there are no changes to my subscreen.... Fields should be "greyed out" instead they are open for intput.
Doing my best to accurately describe in as few words as possible. Thank you for your ideas!
Dean.

Dynamically adding attribute based on PL/SQL function

I've been tasked with dynamically applying security to an XMLType input sample as a post XML generation process (on an 11g R2 DB) based on several parameters. The best way to describe it is with an example block of code, I need to write ApplySecurity....

                         pDataIDPath varchar2,   -- Absolute XPath to the data id which is passed to value
                         pAttribPath varchar2    -- Relative XPath to pDataIDPath where we want the security result attribute stored
                         ) return XMLType is
begin
      for all DataIDs found in pDataIDPath
        Call an PL/SQL function GetSecurityDesc(pSecurityID, pDataID)
          Store the result of this back in the XML in the pAttribPath as SECURITY attribute
end;
begin
vXML := ApplySecurity(XMLType('<ROWSET>

*/I have tried several approaches like iterating using a dynamically created XMLTable and calling InsertChildXML for each iteration, but that seems messy and inefficient as the call to InsertChildXML will have to locate the correct node each time. Ideally I think the best solution would be to do it with XQuery, but online examples are few and far between and I don't know how I'd call a PL/SQL function as part of an XQuery iteration as well as passing in the path information.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

WD_BADI_DOMODIFYVIEW - dynamically set screen element as mandatory field

Hi,
I would like to use WD_BADI_DOMODIFYVIEW to dynamically set a standard screen element on my Webdynpro as a mandatory field. Does anyone know which method in which class that I can use to set the status from 'Normal field' to 'required' ?
This is a for standard SRM webdynpro screen. Unfortunately I could not get the configuration to set the standard metadata field as a mandatory field.
Also this standard field does not have an existing binding to a context element to manipulate the status of the field. Hence I need to find a method that can directly change the attribute of this standard screen element to mandatory. I do not want to modify the webdynpro to change the status of the field to 'required'.
<promise removed by moderator>
Thanks
Liam

Hi Kiran,
I think I understand what you are suggesting now. The trouble is IF_V_SC_DOFC_I_LIMITEM (the view I'm trying to enhance) does not exist in the BAdI.
When I go to the attributes of the View of the Webdynpro component that I'm trying to enhance I do see WD_THIS refto IF_V_SC_DOFC_I_LIMITEM.
It's just that in the BAdI WD_BADI_DOMODIFYVIEW this WD_THIS is not available and trying to define it like below does not work.

In BI how to filter the selection options based on inputs on top field

Hi Friends,
In BI, How to filter the selection options based on inputs on top field.
The system should automatically filter the lower level drop downs based on the selection of a higher level.
For e.g. :
If a user selects a Country then the States drop down should only display the State's belongs to the Country. Similarly when a State is selected, the District drop down should display only those District's belongs to the State.
Thanks in Advance.
