Expand Field Size

Customer would like to expand the Mfr Catalog No. field in Item Master Data under the Purchasing Data tab be increase from 17 to at least 50.
They are on SAP 8.8 PL 15 and SQL 2005 on a 2003 server.
Customer would rather expand this field then add a UDF field if possible.

HI
Its not possible to extend the field length of the standard B1 Table...
Better you can add an UDF and keep the length as you like....
Please mind that do not manipulate the B1 Fields at back end which will make you to loose SAP support and also lead to data inconsistency....

Problem with flow of expandable fields

Hi everyone,
I have important problem with flow of expandable fields in table in dynamic PDF form. The issue I am talking about you can see at the top of column 3 on page 2 in PDF in link below.
Here is uploaded PDF form and sample XML data (form has import button and is ReaderExtended that you can easily test it and see my problem):
http://www.speedyshare.com/718224676.html
Generally I have created table with 3 columns using Table object (each field has allow multiple lines selected and expand to fit). It is closed in FormBody subform which is flowed subform.
Row in table is repeatable and has “is allow to break page” setting set on.
Sometimes when there is a lot of text and row page break there is problem with flow.
For example text from one rows overlaps on text from next row.
I tried to solve this problem by changing row height, indents, font size, line spacing but always when I thought that I have fixed it I got another data which generated the same flow problem.
Did anyone met this problem earlier and found solution to this issue? This is really important for me and I am really in dead end so any hints would be really helpful.
I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.1 and PDF form target is 8.
I really appreciate any help in this problem.
Thanks,
Kamil Dłutowski

I posted link to my form in my first post.

How to change field size using SQL against an oracle Database

I am an admitted novice user, looking to become more proficient.
I have a field in a table that I need to expand the field size. The table is called Inquiries. The data type is text. The current Field Size is 10. I want to increase it, to either the max, or somethign long enough to fit TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP PROGRAM.
What is the SQL command to change the field size, and what is the max for a Text Field Size

And/Or, an even better question might be,
Do I need to use SQL*PLUS to do this, or are there better tools. I.e, I like how in Access, you can open up a database in Design view and just change the amount for the field size. Is there a similar "easy" method to do something like that with an Oracle database.
My current version of the server/database is:
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
I was thinking I had to do SQL commands to perform the action, but there may be another way that I am not thinking about with all of the tools at my disposal. When I installed Oracle on my desktop, I installed most of the management tools and networking services, if that helps

Control over Source/Comments field size on Allergens Sensitivities and Additives

Is there a way for use to expand out the field size of the Source/Comments field in each of these sections??
thanks,
David

Hi David,
You can expand out the field size or the text size by below steps:
1, go to \Web\gsm\BaseForms\UserControls\ctlComplianceContainedGrid.ascx, open the file
2, go to line 102 : <wcc:DatatableColumn ID="SourceText" Key="SourceText" TranslationID="lblSourceOccuring" Formatter="helper.getTextFormatter()" Editor="Oracle.PlmProcess.Ui.Datatable.CellRepresentation.getTextareaCellEditor(125)" Parser="string" width="<%# IIF (IsInEditMode(), 478, 502)%>" runat="server" />
3, change theCellRepresentation.getTextareaCellEditor or the width of the field, save the file, refresh your open page or create a new page, then this field will change to the newly configured size
Notes: the maxinum text supported is 4000 character
hope this helps.
Thanks,
Jessie

Creating Expandable fields in Abobe Acrobat 9.0 professional

Hello,
I am in the process of converting a standard PDF file to a interactive one. The problem I am having is that some of the fields need to be expandable to accommodate needs of the application. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 to convert the standard form into a PDF file to PDF interactive file.
I have looked in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional but I have not been able to find any documentation on how to expand the fields in the 9.0 Professional version.
Can you tell me if the LiveCycle Designer has the ability to expand fields and if so how can I set up the document to create the expanded fields. I have reviewed the help documents but it not very clear as to how to go about accomplishing this task.
I have attache the form that I like to expand.
I would really appreciate some guidance in this area
Thank you for your time
Gary

Hi,
Yes, LC has expandaple fields.
First you have to make your field multiline
Second - make it expand:
But you shaould remember tha field will be expanded only after you type smth in it and lost focus.

How to determine the field size

I am going to make a multiplatform application that hopefully
will run on linux and windows 2000.If the os is 2000, then I will use
vb.net/aspx else I'll use java servlets. I make the connection
to the web server ( through HTTP) not directly to database server.
So, the resultset will be stored in the String object. The columns
will be separated by delimeter. Our problem is how to determine
the size and type of the fields of mssql,oracle and postgres database
so that we can include it in the String object.
Ex.
String sResultSet=new String();
ResultSet rs=statement.executeQuery(sSQL);
while(rs.next()){
sResultset=sResultSet + rs.getString(field1) + "||" + rs.getString(field2) + "||";
vertical bars acts as delimeter
supposedly this is the code:
sResultset=sResultSet + rs.getString(field1) +"_" + rs.getFieldType() + "_"+
rs.getFieldSize() + "||" + rs.getString(field2) +"_" + rs.getFieldType() + "_"+
rs.getFieldSize() + "||";
supposedly this is the code if rs.getFieldType() and rs.getFieldSize() methods are existing
Anyone can give me an idea how to get the field type and field size of the database?
thanks in advance

Yes, but I dont know how to do it.
Can you give me an example of using it.
Thanks in advance

Multiple Page flowed form with expandable field, causing a blank page

I have a 3 page form with an expandable field on page 1. I've set the pages up as flowable with positioned subforms and everything is working well, until you type a lot of info into the expandable field and it moves everything else in page 1 down to page 2, the problem appears after the text is moved, there is a huge blank space after the text that was moved. Basically the rest of the information is moved to page 3 and then there is a page 4. Hope this makes sense.
Original - Page 1, Page 2, Page 3
Expanded past the page - Page 1&2 (then big blank space), Page 3, Page 4
I'd just like the pages to flow together so if the expanded box moves to the next page the sections just continue to follow without a huge blank space on page 2.

It sounds as if some of your content is set to not allow page breaks within it. Have you checked all containing sub forms for the option below?

How to change the field size cache/buffer in a query

I query a field from sql developer, the field is cases_history, it resides in a data mart in the global network of our company.
this field is big in size, it stores logs in a sequential way, so field size increases a lot.
when i query it and try a "single record view" the field is cut off and can´t see all of its content..
WHAT I THOUGHT AND IT DOESN´T APPLY
1. maybe in database connections in the system tab, I go to the oracle data mart that i am interested in and change buffer and cache
but it doesn´t work, sql developer keeps showing part of the field
2. maybe it was then the buffer size in sql developer, so I change it, but no luck
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE?
MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE

many thanks in advance for your help,
1.the data type in the remote oracle data mart is VARCHAR2(4000)
2.editing with the pencil cuts off at somepoint (which is the same line and last word)
3.this is the query I write
||select case_history from wfm_case where case_id='xxxx'||
this is to test if I can get a long case_history, which we know it is because it is fully accessible through a web solution to revise cases.
PLS note. I have a tns connection which is of the following type :
(in data sources (odbc) -- system dsn -- oracle odbc driver configuration ...oracle .. buffer size =9000 , cache buffer size =4000 and FORCE SQL_WCHAR SUPPORT is enabled
many thanks,
Jordi.

Is it possible to create expandable fields in an interactive PDF? (not dropdown menus)

Need to design an interactive PDF that has expandable fields for respondents to include more that one group of answers. Specifically, they will be asked to list all previous employment. Some respondents may have had 10 relevant positions. The form will get too long if I create fields for 10 responses. Hoping to find a way that fields will expand if a respondent needs them.

Not really possible with PDF forms, unless you create an entire page
dedicated to this and allow the user to spawn new copies of it as needed.

How to make expandable field in pdf forms?

Does anyone here know how to make expandable field in a PDF form?
I want the field, originally appear to be a 1-liner, to expands when you put in more text and everything that is underneath the expandable field shifts or moves down.
pls help.
Thanks!

No, LiveCycle Designer is not included in Creative Cloud and is available only for Windows. It was included with the Windows version of Acrobat Pro before Acrobat 11 but is now a separate program and about $300.

How to increase the field size in modules

Dear Oracle Team,
When we add some items in reason codes from the dictionary, it has certain limit in reason code and title. So I can increase those field size to add bigger text for title names.
I think it also applicable for the fields in other modules also. Looking your valuable support.
Thanks & Regards,
Sheik

1. Once you add a custom field to your database, it would be made available to either your reports (BI) or your layouts in PCM.
2. When you create the custom field, you would specify the field length/type/properties. (i.e. "Char" field with 120 char field length) If you set this to one value when you create (say 120 char) and want to CHANGE it to 140 characters, you cannot do this without deleting and re-creating the custom field. I did check 14.0.3 and this continues in this version as well.
2a. Best practice is to be generous in your field sizes to avoid needing to change it later.
As I mentioned before, any default fields in the database are fixed to their set properties and the only way to change them is to submit an SR to Oracle to request the change.

Increasing field size in content repository

What is the best way to increase the field size in the content repository? We are using MS SQL Server and I can't find a way to adjust field width in the Weblogic Administration interface for creating a new repository. Should this be done in the underlying SQL Server? It seems to me that even if we did that, there is a seperate setting in the repository limiting field width, but I don't know how to access that value.
Thanks Much,
Tim

The NoSquint seems to work. The other one didn't install. I may have made a misstep.

White space after flowed layout/expandable fields?

Hi,
I have a few pages on a form with a flowed layout where the text fields expand.The problem I am having is when the text field expans and continues on the following page,its leazing an entire white space right after it.Is there a way to do this so eventhough the text field expands onto the next page,the content on the next page continues right after the expanded field without a page of white space?
Thanks.

Hi,
You need to check Allow page breaks within content option for the subform. Object > Subform > Allow page breaks within content.
By default even for the field this option would be checked if it is not You need to do samething even for the field.
This would work.

Expandable field should print at top of next page not in middle.

I have a report that has three expandable columns in the middle of the report. Each has its own frame. There is repeating and non-repeating frame above these three expandable fields. I want these fields to print at the top of the next page when they expand not in the middle where they are initially on the first page.

I solved this myself by changing the vertical elasticity of the fixed frame above these fields to variable.
