Environment Variable Drop Down List

Hi
Apologies if this is a daft question, but is there any way to get the 'Use environment variable' drop down list in the 'Set Parameter Value' popup window in SQL Server Management Studio to order alphabetically by variable name?
Currently, in my list I have over 100 variables for various SSIS projects and this number grows weekly. When I create new environment variables and then try to assign them to project parameters/connections, it can be very time consuming to find them in
the drop down list as there is no sort applied to the presented variable Names.
If there is a solution for this then it would make my SSIS deployments so much easier and less time consuming.
Many thanks.

Do you mean this dialog
Then no, but you can submit an enhancement request at MS Connect

Using a variable/drop down list in header of planning layout

Dear all,
I have created a simple BPS application for purely GL planning (No CO related objects like cost centre involved). I have the following characteristics in the header of the manuel planning layout.
Business area
Chart of accounts
Company code
Currency
Currency Type
Fiscal year
Fiscal Year Variant
Fiscal year/period
Value type
Version
I have created variables for Business area, Fiscal Year, Fiscal Year Period, Posting Period and Version. The client wants either a variable or a drop down list for these characteristics in the header in the web application. When I assign a variable and put the characteristic in header, I get the error message in the web application saying header characteristic can only have a fixed value. Can someone tell me if it is possible and if so than how? I'll be very grateful for any inputs. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi,
When you create a variable, assign some values to the variable. These then become available in the drop down box. Ths first time a Web interface is called, these variable values are initial.As a result, u get the error messages. Select the variable values and then the error message should go away.
Thanks,

Variable drop-down lists according to radio-button input

I need to restrict the display of drop-down lists according to a particular radio-button selection earlier on the form. Can I use a javascript call on the client side without linking to an external database along these lines:
If radiobutton1 == 1
then dropdownlist1 uses list1
elseif radiobutton1 == 2
then dropdownlist1 uses list2
and so forth.
Obviously the syntax is incorrect, but I need to know if it can be done before digging in further.

Let's assume we have tree grouped radio buttons in a group of buttons, and a combo box object which displays a different list of elements depending of the chosen option.
A very simple way to do it would be, for example, the following one:
b [*] Radio Button Group - OnClick Event
i // List of elements that will be loaded in the combo box object
> var colorList = new Array("White","Blue","Red","Green");
> var dayList = new Array("Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday");
> var tmarkList = new Array("Nike","Adidas","Reebook","Levis");
i // ComboBox Object
> var combo = xfa.resolveNode("Formulario1.ComboBox");
i // Cleaning the combo...
> combo.clearItems();
> combo.addItem("Select one option to the list","");
i // Filling the Combo
i // "this" returns a button group where there are three radio buttons
i // and the "rawValue" returns the selected index chosen in radio
i // buttons.
> switch(this.rawValue)
> {
> case "1":
> for(nJ = 0; nJ < colorList.length; nJ++)
> combo.addItem(colorList[nJ]);
> break;
> case "2":
> for(nJ = 0; nJ < dayList.length; nJ++)
> combo.addItem(dayList[nJ]);
> break;
> case "3":
> for(nJ = 0; nJ < tmarkList.length; nJ++)
> combo.addItem(tmarkList[nJ]);
> break;

How do I populate a drop-down list from a schema variable

I'm a novice programmer and new to the LiveCycle environment. I need help to populate a drop-down list in LiveCycle from a hard coded variable within my form's schema. I have a list of 28 names (the number of names and actual names change annually). That list is used over 30 times within a form for different selections. Since the list rarely changes, I would prefer to hard code it and make changes to the schema when they occur.
If I can't find a solution, I will be updating over 30 separate drop-down list objects each time there is a change to the list.
Thanks in advance for any help
Chris

Can you post your schema to [email protected] and I will have a look. You will also need to indicate which node in the schema is supposed to populate the dropdown.

How to initialize a Prompt drop-down list using a Repository Variable.

Hi,
the aim is to fill a drop-down list of a Year prompt only with year values that can provide data.
This Show list SQL statement works:
SELECT Time."Year" FROM "AnalysisCatalog"
WHERE Time."Year" <= 2007
Using the maxYear Repository Variable does not work:
SELECT Time."Year" FROM "AnalysisCatalog"
WHERE Time."Year" <= @{biServer.variables[’maxYear’]}
Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: biServer.variables[’maxYear’]
How can I achive the result without hardcoding the Year 2007?
Mny thx Thomas

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

Hi,
I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
<form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
     <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
     <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
          <option value="1">username1</option>
          <option value="2">username2</option>
          <option value="3">username3</option>
          <option value="4">username4</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
     <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
</form>
Could somebody help me please?
Thanks.

I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Test Page</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               function userID(){
                    //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                    var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                    window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <form id="form1">
               <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                    <option>Select a User</option>
                    <option value="1">User 1</option>
                    <option value="2">User 2</option>
                    <option value="3">User 3</option>
                    <option value="4">User 4</option>
               </select>
          </form>
     </body>
</html>
//PAGE TO RETRIEVE THE USERNAME
<?php
if(isset($_GET['userID'])
     $userID = $_GET['userID'];
     echo $userID;
     die;

LMS 4.2.3 variable name not show in drop-down list

Hi all,
I am trying to use performance threshold to trigger a script whild device CPU or Memory high.
There is a default threshold template called "CPU Utilization" and "Memory Utilization".
After I choose either one, there should be one or two variable name in drop down list.
But I only see "Select MIB Variable" in the list.
I try to create a template with exact the same variable but still got nothing in the list.
The strange thing is that no all the default template has this problem.
I can see variable name under some template like "Device Availability" or "Port Availability"
And this is not browser problem because I try both IE and Firefox.
Any one how to solve this?

Thanks for your advice.

To pass the selected data to a variable from the drop down list in abap wd

Hi,
I have already created a drop down list and populated it with data from table by using the node and linking it with the internal table. Now I need to know which element is selected so based on that I need to perform some function. eg. based on the selected data , i need to populate the next drop down list.
A demo code will be really helpful.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
On selcting the value from the drop down, we have one event ONSELECT.
Write the code in this event.
Get the attribute value to lV_xxxxxx using get attribute.
then using that you can fill the next DDBK attribute.
method wddoinit .
data:
        lo_nd_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        lo_el_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_element,
        ls_spfli type wd_this->element_spfli.
data:
      lv_carrid LIKE ls_sflight-carrid,
         itab_carrid type wd_this->elements_spfli,
         wa_carrid type wd_this->element_spfli,
         lo_nodeinfo_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
         lt_value_set type wdy_key_value_table,
         ls_value_set type wdy_key_value.
lo_nd_spfli = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_spfli ).
lo_nodeinfo_spfli = lo_nd_spfli->get_node_info( ).
select carrid
    from spfli
    into corresponding fields of table itab_carrid.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    sort itab_carrid by carrid.
    delete adjacent duplicates from itab_carrid comparing carrid.
endif.
loop at itab_carrid into wa_carrid.
    ls_value_set-key = wa_carrid-carrid.
    ls_value_set-value = wa_carrid-carrid.
    append ls_value_set to lt_value_set.
endloop.
lo_nodeinfo_spfli->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'CARRID'
value_set = lt_value_set ).
endmethod.
in the event of first DDBK, write the select statement wsing where condition of lv_XXX.
and append the record as above.

No TNS Network Alias drop-down list

I do not have Oracle installed on my laptop. I was able to connect to a 9i database at my college without having to install Oracle. I did this with SD 1.0. I just deleted my last installation and installed SD 1.1. Now cannot connect. In reviewing popular discussion thread, I don't know what to do.
Can I run SD 1.1 with Oracle 9i?
I am running SD 1.1 on Windows XP SP2. I have Net80 installed on my laptop with tnsnames.ora in c:\orant\net80\admin folder. I set a system environment variable TNS_ADMIN with the above folder as the value. c:\orant\bin and c:\orant are both in my path. I am trying to connect to a remote 9i 9.2.0.7.0 and have been able to do this with SD 1.0.

Well done, B. The Net*) client I have made the connection OK using the Basic panel.
Thanks for your advice. I guess I'd better learn about what's involved in connecting, because I didn't know how to use the Basic panel in the first place. I've just been cutting and pasting using the tnsnames.ora file to support the connection. Would you have a suggestion to learn about the process of connecting?

How do I use one drop down list to refresh the list in another drop down?

I am using a drop down list full of years (i.e. 2008, 2009..etc). When I make my selection from this drop down list (say for instance I select 2009) I want it to update the available data in the second drop down list. I have the query statement set up within the JSP page but it needs to be a dynamic SQL statement based off the value I selected in the first drop down.
String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
The variable "year" is the value I need to figure out how to assign. Now this variable is a Java variable (attribute) and Im unsure how to get the value from the previous drop down and assign it to that. Basically I need the JavaScript value from the first drop down assigned to the Java attribute "year".
Anyone able to help me with this???
Thanks,
Jed

Here are my two drop down lists. As you can see I build the second list dynamically based off the value of the year. I want to be able to assign my year to the value I select in this first drop down. How do I do that?? I only want to show games for the year I select. I currently have the year hardcoded to "2009" as you see below. How can i change that to be assigned to the JavaScript value i extract from the first select box?
<select name="season">
<option value='2009' selected>2009</option>
<option value='2008'>2008</option>
</select>
<select name="gameselect">
<%
try
String year = "2009";
String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ElmwoodExpos";
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "thejedster");
String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
Statement s = con.createStatement();
s.executeQuery(sql);
ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet();
while(rs.next())
%>
<option value="1"><% out.print(rs.getString("GameDescription"));%></option>
<%

%>
</select>

How to get Date value from database and display them in a drop down list?

SELECT TO_CHAR(reg_date,'dd-mm-yyyy') from CustomersAny ideas of how this filtering possible? In my effort not to sound like a newbie wanting to be spoonfed, you can provide me link to external notes and resources, I'll really appreciate it.

Hi
What part is your biggest problem?? I am not experienced in getting data out of a database, but the way to get a variable amount of data to show in a drop down menu, i have just messed around with for some time and heres how i solved it... In my app, what i needed was, a initial empty drop down list, and then using input from a text-field, users could add elements to a Vector that was passed to a JComboBox. Heres how.
package jcombobox;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.Vector;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Main extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
    private Vector<SomeClass> list = new Vector<SomeClass>();
    private JComboBox dropDownList = new JComboBox(list);
    private JButton addButton = new JButton("add");
    private JButton remove = new JButton("remove");
    private JTextField input = new JTextField(10);
    private JPanel buttons = new JPanel();
    public Main() {
        addButton.addActionListener(this);
        remove.addActionListener(this);
        input.addActionListener(this);
        buttons.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        buttons.add(addButton);
        buttons.add(remove);
        add(dropDownList, "North");
        add(input, "Center");
        add(buttons, "South");
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource() == addButton) {
            list.addElement(new SomeClass(input.getText()));
            input.setText("");
        } else if (e.getSource() == remove) {
            int selected = dropDownList.getSelectedIndex();
            dropDownList.removeItemAt(selected);
    public void init(String[] args) {
        setSize(400,300);
        getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        getContentPane().add(new Main());
}And that "SomeClass" is show here
package jcombobox;
public class SomeClass {
    private String text;
    public SomeClass(String input) {
        text = input;
    public String toString() {
        return text;
}One of the things i struggled a lot with was to get the dropdown menu to show some usefull result. If the list just contains class references it will show the memory code that points to that class. Thats where the toString cones in handy. But it took me some time to figure that one out, a laugh here is welcome as it should have been obvious :-)
When the app is as simple as this one, using a <String> vector would have been easier, but this is just to demonstrate how to place classes in a vector and get some usefull info out of it, hope this answered some of your question :-)
The layout might have been easier to write, than using the toppanel created by the JApplet and then the two additional JPanels, but it was just a small app brewed together in 15 minutes. Please comments on my faults, so that i can learn of it.
If you need any of the code specified more, please let me know. Ill be glad to,

Fill-In-The-Blank drop-down list in HTML5 output

I'm working in Captivate 7 (WIN) and developing for both SWF and HTML5 output, viewing courses in IE9 for Windows and Safari on iPad.
I have a quiz containing a fill-in-the-blank question, using a drop-down list to select the correct answer, however it does not display the drop-down button or function correctly in HTML5 output (see screenshot).
The issue began after updating to Captivate 7 version 7.0.1.237. The drop-down list worked prior to the update I installed recently. I'm viewing the published course locally and in the LMS, and it does not work in either.
I've not read in the help documents that drop-down list questions are an unsupported question type in HTML5, and so I'm wondering if this is a bug that needs to be reported. Has anyone encountered this issue?

Do you need scoring? There is a Scrolling Text interaction (more control, you can empty the variable and it will be displayed empty) but it is a non-interactive one, no score possible except by adding other interactive objects.

Drop down list based on log in username - php mysql

I have a drop down list of client names on a php page that filters a second drop down list of site names.
At the moment, any user who logs in can see the entire list of clients, however I want to filter the list based on their username log in.
This is the entire page code, the section in bold is the drop down list in question:
<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
$MM_authorizedUsers = "asguser,admin,member";
$MM_donotCheckaccess = "false";
// *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this page
function isAuthorized($strUsers, $strGroups, $UserName, $UserGroup) {
// For security, start by assuming the visitor is NOT authorized.
$isValid = False;
// When a visitor has logged into this site, the Session variable MM_Username set equal to their username.
// Therefore, we know that a user is NOT logged in if that Session variable is blank.
if (!empty($UserName)) {
    // Besides being logged in, you may restrict access to only certain users based on an ID established when they login.
    // Parse the strings into arrays.
    $arrUsers = Explode(",", $strUsers);
    $arrGroups = Explode(",", $strGroups);
    if (in_array($UserName, $arrUsers)) {
      $isValid = true;
    // Or, you may restrict access to only certain users based on their username.
    if (in_array($UserGroup, $arrGroups)) {
      $isValid = true;
    if (($strUsers == "") && false) {
      $isValid = true;
return $isValid;

I think I need to amend the sql statement to something like this - but I haven't quite got it right:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM qry_test WHERE username = colname GROUP BY client_name ASC
Where do I drop the code for the colname info?
name:colname
type: text
default value: -1
run time value: $_SESSION['MM_Username']
Thanks!

I don't do PHP but it would be something like:
$sql = sprintf (SELECT DISTINCT * FROM qry_test WHERE username = %s GROUP BY client_name ASC, $_SESSION['MM_Username'] );
or you can just embed the session variable into the sql string.
But why are you using the GROUP BY clause? If you just need a distinct list of names, use the DISTINCT keyword and reduce your select list to only the needed column.

Refreshing drop down list in a web template based on a query view

Refreshing drop down list in a web template based on a query view
I have just developed my first set of portal pages displaying the results of Bex queries and query views in the SAP Netweaver portal. I developed the pages using web application designer. Each web template created with W.A.D is using a query or query view. In one template I have that is using a query view I am using a variable in my Bex query. This variable is of type customer exit, is set to variable is ready for input and calls some ABAP code which returns the current fiscal week number and year. When I run the query or query view in isolation through Bex analyzer the variables gets populated correctly. In my web template I have associated my variable from my query view to a drop down list box. However when I run the Iview created from this template the query results get refreshed but my drop down list box does not, it still shows last weeks week number. How do I get the drop down list box to refresh with the latest result from my customer exit variable?
Regards
Collin

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to filter a calendar based a look up column in SharePoint 2013.
Calendar View not support OOTB filters connection. it is disabled for calendar view, you need to change view(not calendar view) so OOTB filters works and get connected to your view.
You can achieve this using combination of jQuery and SharePoint OOB techniques.
For jQuery filters refer to the blog: enter SharePoint List Filters using jQuery
Also you can filter Calendar View Web Part using JQuery and SPServices:

Another way, you can have a look at the SPFilterCalendar :
