Field Length of the text field on the screen

Hello Experts,,
I have field with its label on the screen. Now the label text is picked up from data dictionary as defined.
Data element       J_3ARQDA                       Active
Short Description: Requested delivery date
Length           Field   Label
Short             10       RqDlv.date
Medium         16       Req.deliv.date
Long              20      Requested deliv.date
Heading         5        Dldat
Now the text in different laguage say russian is quite bigger in length as compared to english ones. Now on the sales order screen i have the text 'Dldat', but the russian user needs a bigger word than just 'Dldat'.
Approach : I changed the heading length to some '25' from '5' to accomedate the russian text in DDIC for data element. But if i have to adjust the same on the screen with new text length i have to extend the screen border as well.
Is this right approach ? If not how do we actually accomedate the other language texts on the screen with out altering the screen borders ( length and breadth).

Hi Radhika,
I tried doing that with a couple of invoices but I dont see the Long text printed on the check after the automatic payment run. Can you please suggest me if I am missing on anything. I inserted a long text and a '*" before this to have it printed on the check which does not seem to work. Can you please suggest me alternative solution.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sumeya,
We are not sure, where else the domain(text50) and data element(SGTXT) is being used in SAP. There could be so many objects using this domain. All the objects would be effected, if you change this.
The side effects of this could be like, when you upgrade your service pack levels or patches, system may throw short dumps or syntax errors. Please take the advise of an ABAPER, before changing the field length.
Pls go through the below links, which could help you.

How do you change the lenght of the text field in fb50?

Hi,
In the transaction FB50 , the long text field In the item line is not showing the whole description written in the text field (word pad).when viewing the item details it is showing ony half description.How do we increase the field size?

Are you Talking about G/L account short text in the Item Level ? If yes
Standard Text Field 20 character Length" The G/L account short text is used for online displays and evaluations which do not have sufficient space for the long text."

How to resize the text field through the expression?

It is necessary that another layer was at 150 pixels to the right of the right side of the text field.

PACK
Syntax
PACK source TO destination.
Effect:
This statement, which is forbidden in classes, converts the content of the data object source to the data type p of length 16 without decimal places. In contrast to the conversion rules for elementary data types, a decimal separator in source is ignored. This assigns the converted content to the data object destination.
The data type of source must be character-type, flat, and its content must be interpretable as a numeric value. The data type of destination must be flat. If destination has the data type p, the interim result is assigned to it from left to right. Surplus characters are cut off on the left, and the decimal places are determined by the data type of destination. If destination does not have the data type p, the interim result is converted to the data type of destination according to the rules in the conversion table for source field type p.
Notes:
The function of the statement PACK is based on the second half-byte of the code corresponding to a character in most character representations of the BCD representation for the corresponding numeric value. This compilation is generally known as "packing".
If the source field contains a number without a decimal separator, and the target field has dobj2 of data type p with sufficient length and without decimal places, the result of the PACK statement (which is forbidden in classes) corresponds to the result of the statement MOVE.

How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

I have some sample code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class JFrameTester{
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
          f.setSize( 500, 500 );
          ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
          MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
          f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          f.setVisible( true );
     public static class MyListener implements ActionListener{
          public MyListener() {}
          public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
               System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
               // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
}The output of the code is something like this:
hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
In a real-world application, no.
In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field

Hi,
Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field and also each item's Text field?"
When we enter a invoice we enter a generic text on the Basic Data tab then enter a "+" on each individual line item which in turns defaults to the generic text. Just wanted to know if the check register could draw in the individual line item detail where we can enter text that relates to just that line item. Sort of like the MIR7 draws in the detail for each item.
Kindly help me in full fill the above requirement.
Thanks

How to use the separate symbol in the text field in the adobe form.

Hi,experts,
I dont know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
Action:
1. config the ADS successfully.
2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
CONCATENATE
'1、aaaaaaaaaaa；'
'2、bbbbbbbbb '
'3、ccccccccccc'
'4、ddddddddd'
INTO remark .
lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `REMARK`
value = remark ).
But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi,
If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
this.rawValue
= util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
function toTitleCase(textValue)
return textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

Has anyone an idea how to solve that problem?

Hey,
thank for your reply!
I use style="color:#000000;" and it work in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer 7.0!
And that is not the first time, that there are differences in displaying those tags in the HTML Form Element Attributes and in css files, etc.
Does anybody know I to solve that?
Thank you,

Text field properties-Using the 'required' option in the text field properties.

Using the required' option in the text field properties.
The 'help' manual describes the 'required' function as this: Required Forces the user to fill in the selected form field. If the user attempts to submit the form while a required field is blank, an error message appears and the empty required form field is highlighted.
My users ARE not submitting the form, they open the pdf, fill it out and print it. HOW can I, make a field "required', I don't want them to skip/leave blank specific fields. However, if I choose the box 'required' in the text field properties, and I begin filling out the form, I can just tab past that field that I've choose as 'required', and I do not get
prompt/error message or anything, it allows me to save, or print.
I WANT SOME TYPE OF message (similar to enter a company order form
off the web, where you can't continue without filling out 'required' fields).
Is there a step/option I am not doing?

Then you are going to have to write some JavaScirpt to be executed by the "Will Print" document action to check all the requried fields, either by name or by the 'required' property and handle the issue of the imcomplete fields. You will not be able to stop the print, but you could display and error field so the user knows the form is incomplete and the printed form also conatains this information.

Marketing attribute in the text field, interactive script

Hello Gurus,
We are facing a problem in the interactive script, of the sap crm 7.0.
We know the possibility of set some of the customer data into the
script by filling bdc field inthe test field and then adding this text
field to a script question.
We did it in the customer data "***" by filling the bdc field with "ext
field marketing attribute interactive script" and this data is showed
in the script, but we can not show marketing attribute data in the
script by using text field and bdc field.
There is a possiblility of showing the marketing attribute in the text
field or it is imposible due the structure of bol in crm.
Thanks in advance.

Hello ,
To display or change the marketing attributes of a business partner in the script follow these steps:
1. Run the Interactive Script Editor.
2. Create a new Question and in the Answer Area drag and drop the "Marketing Attribute" dynamic answer.
3. Select the "Marketing attribute will display here when executing the script" object and go to tab "Dynamic Content Parameters".
4. Select the attribute set and the attribute name.
5. Save the question.
6. Drag and drop the question to your script.
7. Change the template of the question node to either "Person Marketing Attributes" or "Organization Marketing Attributes" depending on what type of business partner is expected to be confirmed at run time in the IC_AGENT role.
8 Save the script.
9. Run IC_AGENT or similar IC role.
10. Confirm an organization ( if you used "Organization Marketing Attributes" ).
11. Run the script.
When you reached the question maintained above, the marketing attributes will render for that business partner, if they exists or will be created if they don't exists . To be created a button that will do a navigation is required. It means that the question will have to be linked to a next question or to itself by this button (to itself is required only if it is the last or the only question in the script). To suggest to the user that he or she has to click on the button, to save, is probably better to name the button "Save".

Hi Rosalin,
Loop the hidden table, get the values and populate drop down in each iteration.
DropDownList1.addItem("Text","Value");
You can use one more solution for this scenario. If it is a matter of 2,3 dropdowns, put three dropDowns in the form layout and give seperate static data binding to them. At run time make the dropDowns hide/visible as per the requirement.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Hello Pabitra,
I had a similar issue in my Project.
Please verify if the SMOD enhancement MBCF0002 (EXIT_SAPMM07M_001) is active in your system.
If this is the case, verify from two angles:
a) Whether the Enhancement was accidentally activated - If yes, then De-activate the same
b) If there is some logic coded in the User Exit, but, the Text is somehow not determined...even the existing content in the text field (input to EXIT_SAPMM07M_001) will get vanished.
Hope that your problem will be resolved by this. Pls reward points.
With Regards
