Exercise9 - alternative examples to CF

In exercise 9 of Flex in a Week it steps through the setup of
Coldfusion 8 (exercise9_cf). I'd rather not go through this example
as I am not likely to implement any projects using Coldfusion. Does
anyone know if there are any equivalent examples on how to send
data to the server using Remote Object using other technology? (I
also have a particular interest on learning the best way to send
data to and from an Oracle 10g database)
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Leigh.

These are the links that I have found:
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2008/03/deploy-blazeds-on-oc4j-oracle-as.html
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2008/08/flex-upload-and-download-with-blazeds.html
http://corlan.org/2008/06/05/creating-a-combined-flexjava-project-in-flex-builder-wo-lcdsb lazeds/
I am yet to work through the examples in the first two links.
I'm still not 100% sure how the database connection is established
between OC4J / BlazeDS and the database, in both examples there is
no talk about db authentication or TNS setup so not sure how its
done, I presume this is not covered as the examples are only
covering the client <-> application server tier interface and
not the application server tier <-> database tier interface
(??). Then again I might have this all wrong.

Applescript not returning all Quicktime properties

according to the quicktime dictionary, properties like data rate, frame rate, audio channels, etc. should be accessible by applescript, but:
--tell QuickTime file (myFile) to set fileProperties to properties of tracks
returns "missing value" or 0 for most of the properties.
Ideas? Using Leopard.5.1.

Thank HD for noticing the 'Leopard' 'feature'. And I thought the level of MacOS X'es development incompetence was confined mainly to the 'Finder' and 'Dock' group. Now, it appears as if the AppleScript developers are being equally assimilated.
Anyway, before Apple destroys the MacOS (and AppleScript) anymore, here is one alternative example (I had to boot up another Mac, sadly - capable of running 10.5.0, 'Leopard') ...
tell application "QuickTime Player"
open file myFile -- where 'myFile' is the full path name of a 'QuickTime Player' compatible file.
tell document 1
set {tRate, tTracks} to {rate, tracks}
repeat with i in tTracks
tell i to set {data_Rate, audioChannelCount} to {data rate, audio channel count}
set tFrames to frames of i
display dialog (("Date Rate: " & data_Rate as string) & return & ("Audio Channel Count: " & audioChannelCount as string) & return & ("Movie Rate: " & tRate as string))
end repeat
end tell

Tutorial events handler in firefox differences with chrome and IE

I have this code:
var inp1 = document.createElement("input");
inp1.type = "button";
inp1.value = " Delete ";
var bott = "boton" + i.toString();
inp1.id = "prueba" + i;
inp1.className = "boton";
inp1.onclick = function() {deleteItem(event)};
function deleteItem(event) {
var tname = event.srcElement || event.target;
var tname1 = tname.id;
works for chrome but not firefox

What kind of tutorial are you writing?
Generally speaking, you should never recommend detecting browser capabilities by strings in the navigator properties. It is always better to use object/property/method detection if possible. Otherwise, you may miss crucial changes made in more recent versions of a browser, such as IE9 and later. Also, you should consider using the standardized approach to defining event handlers, which is addEventListener().
Here is an alternative example:
var inp1 = document.createElement("input");
inp1.type = "button";
inp1.value = " Delete ";
inp1.id = "prueba" + i;
// For best results, add element to the document before
// setting event listeners
if (inp1.addEventListener)
inp1.addEventListener("click", deleteItem, false);
else
inp1.onclick = deleteItem;
function deleteItem(evt){
if (!evt) evt = window.event; // old IE
var tgt = evt.target || evt.srcElement;
alert(tgt.id); //for debug/test only
return false; //for debug/test only

How to convert an array of bits into an array of bytes?

If I have an array of 1s and 0s, how can I pack them
into an array of bytes (8 bits)?
Thanks.

NI recommends to get rid of 4.x mode (Quote from the help file: "National Instruments recommends reworking any application that uses the Convert 4.x Data mode as a long term solution."). For this reason, I have attached an alternative example to give you some ideas.
(The previous example (using 4.x type cast) is actually slightly flawed, because for some reason it only produces even sized output arrays (why???) so you would need to trim the resulting array as a function of the input array size.)

What is pricing?

hi,
To say pricing is a topic in SAP SD and MM.
Pricing means a value for material sold or self consumed.
SD will sell the material, so there are different factors to be consider for value of the material in order to get the profit mainly based on the competion.
example : when a company is selling a material , they have to consider different factors like customer price, discounts say material discount, on the total i can give discoutn, taxes . etc
so SAP pricing has follows a method called condition technique.
this technique is used to determine the best alternative among the alternative.
example : i have 1000 customer each customer have different price, so then who to take the different prices.
so condition technique is used.
thanks

Redirecting from httpd.conf

Hi,
If I submit the URL http://<server:port>/<app-name>, it should by default get redirected to http://<server:port>/<app-name>/.../<home-page>
It mean, if I have a application say "abcd" which has home page as "home.html" then if I submit URL
http://<server:port>/abcd
then it should redirect to
http://<server:port>/abcd/home/home.html
Is it possible, if yes how ?

i dont know how to do it using httpd.conf but here is an alternative example to redirect.
The default index/home page of application server is loaded from this path.
<ASHOME>\Apache\Apache\htdocs. Back up the original page or rename it and replace it with a custom index page to redirect.
Create an html file using noteped with the following code and replace the default home page of the application server. Now when user enters the url like
http://<server:port>/home.html it will be redirected to google.com ( u can change it to ur required address )
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
var Redirect ="http://www.google.com";
location=(Redirect);
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
hopefully it will sovle ur problem

Apex Jquery differences between Chrome and IE

Hello,
I am using Apex 4.0 and have hooked up Jquery's tabs as per: [this link here|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1100088]

Any ideas why this is? And is there any fixes for this?

How can I assign points to the alternatives in a question?

Hi! I am building my first quiz in Captivate and I have this little problem I haven´t been able to solve. I want a make a test that meassures how stress you are att work. It looks like a survey, I´ll have about 20 or more questions with the same type of alternatives, no right or wrong alternatives, but you choose the one you agree the most with. The thing is that i want to give a value point to each alternative and be able to have a score at the end. See the example.
How often do you feel stressed att work?
1. never : 0 points
2. one a week: 2 points
3. three times a week: 3 points
4. Everyday: 4 points
Att the end, the score you get tells you how stressed you are, but instead of showing a result in term of points, you´ll get a text giving you feedback and recomendations for better health. Can I do that in Captivate? I haven´t been able to find a way to do that yet...
Thanks for any help you can give me!

Hello,
Tried putting something together that could be possible, concentrated on the workflow. There will be some repetitive tasks to be done however, problem is that a click box cannot stay for a whole project, which means that a click box gets its proper ID on each slide. Will try to explain, it is up to you to judge if this is acceptable, or if you'd go better with a Flash app.
Created (for the moment, perhaps you'll need more if p.e. for Q1-Q10 you need a separate result for A and for B, result for Q11-Q20...) two user variables:
v_AClick to store the number of clicks on A-option
v_BClick to store the number of clicks on B-option
The results can then be used later on for a condition (did not write it yet).
Created a first slide with these objects:
dummy Text Caption 'Option A' (will be replaced later on with question text)
click box covering up this Text Caption, named it (ID) ClickA1 (this is the tedious part, has to be done for each CB; ClickA2, ClickA3...)
dummy Text Caption 'Option B' (will be replaced later on with question text)
click box covering up this Text Caption, named it (ID) ClickB1 (this is the tedious part, has to be done for each CB; ClickB2, ClickB3...)
imported a 'sign' to be showed after the user clicked into the Library, and put an instance to the right of each Text Caption, those were labeled VinkA and VinkB. Very important: set those instances to 'Show for the entire project', which avoids to have them duplicated to each slide, we will hide and show them as necessary.
button 'Next' which on Succes jumps to next slide.
The blue Text Caption was for me, to check if the actions were functioning, shouldn't be there in the end file.
I created a first Advanced action, labeled it HideVink (sorry for the Dutch, Vink = the green symbol), to be triggered on entering the slide:
Hide VinkA
Hide VinkB
Second/third action, labeled A_Action1/B_Action1 to be triggered by clicking on the ClickA1/ClickB2 with these actions:
increment v_AClick/v_BClick with 1
hide the other clickbox, thus ClickB1/ClickA1 to avoid that the user could click on both options
show AVink/BVink
Here is an example, action A_Action1
Those two actions have to be duplicated for each Question slide (A_Action2, B_Action2,....). What has to be changed in the duplicates is only the number of the Click Box, that is why I labeled them to make the process easier.
Now I duplicated the slide as many times as necessary. The actions for button and entering slide are OK, but the actions for the click boxes have to be adapted (tedious).
Why did I use 'dummy' Text Captions: I should export (File menu) the Text Captions to a Word-document, change the dummy texts (left column) to the real captions (much easier in one doc) and re-import them into the CP-file.
That was my homework, as promised. Hope it helps, even if you choose to go the Flash-way after all.

Like we have If Not Exists in T-SQL, Is there any alternative in MDX

Hi All,
I am a newbie in MDX. I am trying to execute MDX query through SSIS Execute SQL Task. I have set Single Row as a result set. Every thing is fine, But the problem arise when the query does not return any result.
Because , this is the property of Execute SQL Task that it fails , If result set is SET and query does not return any value.
This occurance is handle in T-SQL by used of If Not Exits/If Exists , Do we have something over here i.e. MDX ?
If not then what might be the alternative for this.

Hi Shadab,
Try writing iif() (if and only if) to handle this situation.
Check this for syntax and examples:

Enterprises are increasingly turning to cloud to drive agility and closely align IT resources to business needs. New or short-term projects and unexpected spikes in demand can be satisfied quickly and elastically with cloud resources, spurring more creativity and productivity while reducing the waste associated with over- or under-provisioning.
Figure 1) Cloud lets you closely align resources to demand.
Source: NetApp, 2015
While the benefits are attractive for many workloads, customer input suggests that even more can be achieved by moving beyond cloud silos and better managing data across cloud and on-premises infrastructure, with the ability to move data between clouds as needs and prices change. Hybrid cloud models are emerging where data can flow fluidly to the right location at the right time to optimize business outcomes while providing enhanced control and stewardship.
These models fall into two general categories based on data location. In the first, data moves as needed between on-premises data centers and the cloud. In the second, data is located strategically near, but not in, the cloud.
Let's look at what some customers are doing with hybrid cloud in the real world, their goals, and the outcomes.
Data in the Cloud
At NetApp, we see a variety of hybrid cloud deployments sharing data between on-premises data centers and the cloud, providing greater control and flexibility. These deployments utilize both cloud service providers (CSPs) and hyperscale public clouds such as Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Use Case 1: Partners with Verizon for Software as a Service Colocation and integrated Disaster Recovery in the Cloud
For financial services company BlackLine, availability, security, and compliance with financial standards is paramount. But with the company growing at 50% per year, and periodic throughput and capacity bursts of up to 20 times baseline, the company knew it couldn't sustain its business model with on-premises IT alone.
Stringent requirements often lead to innovation. BlackLine deployed its private cloud infrastructure at a Verizon colocation facility. The Verizon location gives them a data center that is purpose-built for security and compliance. It enables the company to retain full control over sensitive data while delivering the network speed and reliability it needs. The colocation facility gives Blackline access to Verizon cloud services with maximum bandwidth and minimum latency. The company currently uses Verizon Cloud for disaster recovery and backup. Verizon cloud services are built on NetApp® technology, so they work seamlessly with BlackLine's existing NetApp storage.
To learn more about BlackLine's hybrid cloud deployment, read the executive summary and technical case study, or watch this customer video.
Use Case 2: Private, Nonprofit University Eliminates Tape with Cloud Integrated Storage
A private university was just beginning its cloud initiative and wanted to eliminate tape—and offsite tape storage. The university had been using Data Domain as a backup target in its environment, but capacity and expense had become a significant issue, and it didn't provide a backup-to-cloud option.
The director of Backup turned to a NetApp SteelStore cloud-integrated storage appliance to address the university's needs. A proof of concept showed that SteelStore™ was perfect. The on-site appliance has built-in disk capacity to store the most recent backups so that the majority of restores still happen locally. Data is also replicated to AWS, providing cheap and deep storage for long-term retention. SteelStore features deduplication, compression, and encryption, so it efficiently uses both storage capacity (both in the appliance and in the cloud) and network bandwidth. Encryption keys are managed on-premises, ensuring that data in the cloud is secure.
The university is already adding a second SteelStore appliance to support another location, and—recognizing which way the wind is blowing—the director of Backup has become the director of Backup and Cloud.
Use Case 3: Consumer Finance Company Chooses Cloud ONTAP to Move Data Back On-Premises
A leading provider of online payment services needed a way to move data generated by customer applications running in AWS to its on-premises data warehouse. NetApp Cloud ONTAP® running in AWS proved to be the least expensive way to accomplish this.
Cloud ONTAP provides the full suite of NetApp enterprise data management tools for use with Amazon Elastic Block Storage, including storage efficiency, replication, and integrated data protection. Cloud ONTAP makes it simple to efficiently replicate the data from AWS to NetApp FAS storage in the company's own data centers. The company can now use existing extract, transform and load (ETL) tools for its data warehouse and run analytics on data generated in AWS.
Regular replication not only facilitates analytics, it also ensures that a copy of important data is stored on-premises, protecting data from possible cloud outages. Read the success story to learn more.
Data Near the Cloud
For many organizations, deploying data near the hyperscale public cloud is a great choice because they can retain physical control of their data while taking advantage of elastic cloud compute resources on an as-needed basis. This hybrid cloud architecture can deliver better IOPS performance than native public cloud storage services, enterprise-class data management, and flexible access to multiple public cloud providers without moving data. Read the recent white paper from the Enterprise Strategy Group, “NetApp Multi-cloud Private Storage: Take Charge of Your Cloud Data,” to learn more about this approach.
Use Case 1: Municipality Opts for Hybrid Cloud with NetApp Private Storage for AWS
The IT budgets of many local governments are stretched tight, making it difficult to keep up with the growing expectations of citizens. One small municipality found itself in this exact situation, with aging infrastructure and a data center that not only was nearing capacity, but was also located in a flood plain.
Rather than continue to invest in its own data center infrastructure, the municipality chose a hybrid cloud using NetApp Private Storage (NPS) for AWS. Because NPS stores personal, identifiable information and data that's subject to strict privacy laws, the municipality needed to retain control of its data. NPS does just that, while opening the door to better citizen services, improving availability and data protection, and saving $250,000 in taxpayer dollars. Read the success story to find out more.
Use Case 2: IT Consulting Firm Expands Business Model with NetApp Private Storage for Azure
A Japanese IT consulting firm specializing in SAP recognized the hybrid cloud as a way to expand its service offerings and grow revenue. By choosing NetApp Private Storage for Microsoft Azure, the firm can now offer a cloud service with greater flexibility and control over data versus services that store data in the cloud.
The new service is being rolled out first to support the development work of the firm's internal systems integration engineering teams, and will later provide SAP development and testing, and disaster recovery services for mid-market customers in financial services, retail, and pharmaceutical industries.
Use Case 3: Financial Services Leader Partners with NetApp for Major Cloud Initiative
In the heavily regulated financial services industry, the journey to cloud must be orchestrated to address security, data privacy, and compliance. A leading Australian company recognized that cloud would enable new business opportunities and convert capital expenditures to monthly operating costs. However, with nine million customers, the company must know exactly where its data is stored. Using native cloud storage is not an option for certain data, and regulations require that the company maintain a tertiary copy of data and retain the ability to restore data under any circumstances. The company also needed to vacate one of its disaster-recovery data centers by the end of 2014.
To address these requirements, the company opted for NetApp Private Storage for Cloud. The firm placed NetApp storage systems in two separate locations: an Equinix cloud access facility and a Global Switch colocation facility both located in Sydney. This satisfies the requirement for three copies of critical data and allows them to take advantage of AWS EC2 compute instances as needed, with the option to use Microsoft Azure or IBM SoftLayer as an alternative to AWS without migrating data. For performance, the company extended its corporate network to the two facilities.
The firm vacated the data center on schedule, a multimillion-dollar cost avoidance. Cloud services are being rolled out in three phases. In the first phase, NPS will provide disaster recovery for the company's 12,000 virtual desktops. In phase two, NPS will provide disaster recover for enterprise-wide applications. In the final phase, the company will move all enterprise applications to NPS and AWS. NPS gives the company a proven methodology for moving production workloads to the cloud, enabling it to offer new services faster. Because the on-premises storage is the same as the cloud storage, making application architecture changes will also be faster and easier than it would be with other options.

I was looking for some real world "Best Practices" of deploying J2EEapplications
into a Production Weblogic Environment.
We are new at deploying applications to J2EE application servers and arecurrently
debating 2 methods.
1) Store all configuration (application as well as Domain configuration)in properties
files and Use Ant to rebuild the domain everytime the application isdeployed.
I am just a WLS engineer, not a customer, so my opinions have in some
regards little relative weight. However I think you'll get more mileage out
of the fact that once you have created your config.xml, checking it into src
control, versioning it. I would imagine that application changes are more
frequent than server/domain configuration so it seems a little heavy weight
to regenerate the entire configuration everytime an application is
deployed/redeployed. Either way you should check out the wlconfig ant task.
Cheers

2) Have a production domain built one time, configured as required andalways
up and available, then use Ant to deploy only the J2EE application intothe existing,
running production domain.
I would be interested in hearing how people are doing this in theirproduction
environments and any pros and cons of one way over the other.
Thanks.

I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Alternatives to PowerShell automation of Excel (Scheduled Task) in a Windows Server 2012 R2 world

I have a handful of PowerShell scripts that ran as Scheduled Tasks on an old Windows 2008 SP2 server, which output reports as Excel workbooks with multiple worksheets, via a COM object. After migrating these scripts to a new Windows 2012 R2 server,
these scripts no longer function. The Server 2008 system was running Office 2007, and the new Server 2012 R2 server has Office 2013 installed.
What is everyone using on their Server 2012 R2 systems to automate generation of multi-sheet reports in Excel via PowerShell and Scheduled Tasks?
I know that Microsoft has said that automating Office applications server-side in non-interactive mode, but it has worked in the past, until now. (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757)
I've tried the OpenXML PowerTools for PowerShell (https://powertools.codeplex.com/), but Export-OpenXMLSpreadsheet will only export a single worksheet, and they don't support adding worksheets to existing files
(am I missing something?). I understand the OpenXML PowerTools can be extended in C#, but I don't C#. The PowerShell cmdlets were released in Jan 2012, but don't look to have been updated since then (updates have been the core C# code).
I've seen recommendations to add C:\Windows\(System32 or SysWOW64)\config\systemprofile\Desktop, but this hasn't worked on Server 2012.
Has anyone been able to get Excel 2013 to cooperate on Server 2012 R2, or come up with a suitable alternative? I'd rather not start running these scripts from my workstation.
EDIT:
I'm not necessarily looking for an Excel answer, since there are OpenXML ways of doing things now without the Excel application.
Here are some of the errors I'm getting when approaching this from different directions. When I use:
$excel = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application$workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
Results in error:
Exception calling "Add" with "0" argument(s): "Microsoft Excel cannot open or
save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk
space.
• To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer
need.
• To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are
saving to."
At C:\path\to\script.ps1:21 char:2
+ $workbook = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation
The server is definitely not lacking for resources.
I can copy a blank XLSX file and use .Open($xlFile) instead of .Add(), but then when I go to open a CSV file to copy/paste the content to a worksheet, I get this one:
Exception calling "Open" with "1" argument(s): "The server threw an exception.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010105 (RPC_E_SERVERFAULT))"
At C:\path\to\script.ps1:65 char:2
+ $tempcsv = $excel.Workbooks.Open($CSVFile)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation
Things that I've tried so far, with no success:
I created C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop as suggested here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/0751119d-84d5-4a77-8240-1c4802f97375/powershell-scheduled-tasks-wont-start-excel?forum=winserverpowershell
Add Local Launch and Local Activation permissions to the Microsoft Excel Application DCOM Config, Grant "Read & Execute, List folder contents, Read" permissions on the \config\systemprofile\Desktop folder. Grant "Modify, Read & Execute,
List Folder Content, Read, Write" permissions for the account on the following folders:
\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft
\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft
as suggested here:

@ jrv - I will try posting a similar question in the Excel 2013 forum, but since I'm looking for a scripting solution to produce an OpenXML spreadsheet, and not something that necessarily uses the Excel application (though such a solution would not be turned
away), I thought this the more appropriate venue.
(to reiterate from OP) I have seen and acknowledge Microsoft's statements regarding the unsupported nature of automating Office applications in non-interactive environments, but the truth of the matter is, supported or not, it worked in the past (Server
2008), it's what I inherited from my predecessor, and I know I'm not the only one who has been using Excel in this way. I'm only asking fellow scripters, some of whom must also be using Excel in this "unsupported" fashion, how they are automating
creation of their spreadsheet reports after moving to Server 2012. A different system modification to make the Excel comObject continue working as before? Direct manipulation of the OpenXML document? Other solutions that may or may not require launching the
Excel application?

#1 - Ask in Excel 2013 forum.
#2 - Microsoft has repeatedlynoted that this is NOT a supported configuration for Office products.
#3 - What errors are you getting?
#4 - What have you done to debug this:
#5 - No one can be of much help unless you post a very simple example of how this fails.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

REJECT statment to break GET event is Obsolete in ECC 6.0 - Alternative?

Hi Developers,
REJECT statment is used to break from GET event (say GET PERNR event in Logical Database) used to process for an Employee.
This REJECT statement is Obsolete . Is there any alternative for this ?
If so, please reply at the earliest as it is very Urgent.
Regards,

Hi Suma,
The REJECT statement was specially developed for leaving GET event blocks. Unlike CHECK and EXIT, REJECT always refers to the current GET event block. If CHECK and EXIT occur in a loop, they refer to the loop, and in a subroutine, they always refer to the subroutine. The REJECT statement, on the other hand, allows you to exit a GET event block directly from a loop or a called subroutine.
The statement
REJECT [dbtab].
always terminates the processing of the current line of the node of the logical database. Without the optional dbtabspecification, the logical database automatically reads the next line of the same node, and the next GET event at the same hierarchy level is triggered. If you use the optional dbtab specification, the logical database reads the next line of the node dbtab. The node dbtab must occur above the current node in the logical database hierarchy.
Example
The following executable program is connected to the logical database F1S.
REPORT EVENT_DEMO.
NODES: SPFLI, SFLIGHT, SBOOK.
GET SFLIGHT.
SKIP.
WRITE: / 'Carrid:', SFLIGHT-CARRID,
'Connid:', SFLIGHT-CONNID,
'Fldate:', SFLIGHT-FLDATE.
ULINE.
GET SBOOK.
PERFORM SUB.
FORM SUB.
WRITE: / 'Bookid:', SBOOK-BOOKID.
REJECT 'SFLIGHT'.
ENDFORM.
This program reads and displays only the first booking for each flight, since the logical database reads the next line of SFLIGHT after the REJECT statement.

Can I set up a master page to show custom alternating footer text dependant on page number?

Hi,
Is it possible to set up a master page to show different messages in the footer of a brochure dependant on page number? For example;
Page 1: Buy from us because...
Page 2: Our website address is...
Page 3: Here's a special offer...
Page 4: Our website address is...
Page 5: Buy from us because...
Page 6: Our website address is...
...and so on, repeating until the end of the brochure. The intention is for the footers to update automatically if the pagination of the brochure in question needs moving around - or if the messages need changing.
Thanks!

Thanks, but the text needs to be on a single master page which every page is assigned to. This is so the text alternates correctly regardless of whether new pages are inserted or moved. If I assigned separate master pages to individual pages and then moved the pages to a different location, the alternating footer text would then fall out of sync. I hope that made sense!
