First digit disappears

I am facing a peculiar situtation in our multiple forms application. The situation is like this-
In form A I have a text field named TEXT1 with data type as number.I navigate from form A to Form B and perform some update in Form B. After this I come back to Form A and type a number in the field TEXT1. The first digit that I type in this field almost always disappears. If I do not perform any update in form B this does not happen and things work fine. I am messing up something that I am not aware of.
Does any body have any clue?
Thanks for help.

I've experienced this peculiarity sporadically as well. From what I can tell, sometimes it does this: you navigate to the text item, you enter first char, magically this char gets selected, next char you write replaces selection and from there on everything seems normal.
I think it's a bug in the java gui part, and some of these things have gotten better with new Jinitiators. 1.3.1.8 on Unix was horrible, 1.3.1.9 (windows) was better and I don't see it happening (much?) with 1.3.1.13 (also on windows).
Some people tend to experience it more often than others. I've hypothesized somewhat about mouse drivers and that sort of thing ...?

  • How to retrieve the first digit of a number

    Hi,
    In my smartform (PO Form)I have to check a condition with respect of the first digit of company code. To be more clear i need to check that if the first digit of the company code is '1' (like in case of 1000, 1002, 1003 & so on) then my PO should be a 3rd party consignment. how do i do that?

    Hi,
    thanks for ur quick reply.
    but i just wanted to verify that can i use this condition directly  under the condition tab of my smartform as i never used like this.
    Now i have put the condition like IS_EKKO-BUKRS+0(1) = '1'
    And one thing to let u know that the filed size of company code is always same. i.e.4

  • When I sort a column of figures, it sorts by the first digit. How do I get it to sort by the whole number?

    I have a column of numbers, Specifically: 5.2, 42.0, 25.5, 2.4, 11.8, 0.9, 0.5. Notice how it has sorted by the first digit, not the whole number. In other words 5.2 is ranked higher than 42, because 5 is larger than 4. What do I turn on or off to make it behave sensibly?
    Any answers would be appreciated.
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    Are the cells formatted as Text (left aligned, as in Column B)?
    Data Format in Column C
    Column C will sort as Number.

  • Limit the amount of characters of a text field based on first digit

    Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
    I would like to limit the amount of characters of the text field based on the first digit of the number (the text field is only limited to a number format...no decimals, no commas).
    For example, if the number begins with a 3, I would like to limit the text field to allow only ten characters. I have three scenarios but if I could get started with some code and what is the best place to add it (keystroke or validation?) I can take it from there. Thanks again for your help!!

    I've written this code for you that does that. Use it as the field's custom Keystroke code:
    // Validate that only digits are entered
    if (event.change) {
        event.rc = /^\d+$/.test(event.change);
    // Validate string length if it starts with 3
    if (/^3/.test(AFMergeChange(event))) {
        event.rc = AFMergeChange(event).length <= 10;
        if (!event.rc) app.alert("If the number starts with \"3\" it may not be longer than 10 digits.",1); // optional error message
    You can duplicate the second part of it for additional conditions, but keep in mind that this code won't even let you remove the first character in the field if the result is an invalid one.
    For example, if you enter "234567890123456" then you can't remove the "2" at the start because that would result in an invalid number. You can remove any of the other digits, though, and when it's 10 digits or less then you could remove the starting "2" as well.

  • "#" key as the first digit of site prefix code

    The plan at present is to implement the centralized CCM cluster design with a main office and 10 remote sites in Asia where the first digit of site prefix code is "#" follows by two digits of country code and 4 digit internal extension. So that a remote site in Tokyo would be #816200. Can "#" key be used as first digit of site prefix code? Thanks.

    Yes, you can use the # to route calls.

  • Arabic language first charector disappear

    1 - when i type in arabic language
    the first charectore in each line will disappear
    2 - when i try to move the blinking line between charectores to add or remove some text the blinking line not moving
    3 - when i duble click on a word it will NOT be hilighted
    4 - there is no foot note in the tools and that is very important to write the references and some notes
    regards

    iBA has bugs that make it unsuitable for Arabic.  Also apple requires epub3 format for Arabic books, so you need to use a different app in any case, because iBA can't produce that.

  • Finder First column disappears

    Hi there.
    After I drop files from the Finder to iTunes, then go back to the Finder, the first column (the Name column) has disappeared.  I have to close the Finder window and open a new Finder window to see all the columns.  What is causing this bug?

    Hi Paul.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • When I open a new firefox window, and click the + to open a new tab, my first page disappears - I can only seem to return to it by closing all the other tabs.

    The issue occurs like this:
    1. Open a new window
    2. Enter a URL and go to a page (any page).
    3. Click the + and open a new tab.
    4. The first tab is no longer visible in the tabs bar.
    5. I keep opening lots of other tabs and the first tab stays invisible (all the others stay visible / accessible).
    6. The only way I've found to return to the first tab is to close all my other tabs.
    This doesn't always happen (i.e. I can have two firefox windows open and only one of them does it!)
    I'm not sure if it's a feature or something? But it's very annoying!
    Any ideas welcomed.
    Thanks

    Hi - yes I can! I hadn't noticed that little arrow before, thanks.
    However I would really like to stop it hiding the first tab all the time.... Even when I navigate to the first tab using that "list all tabs" arrow, it still remains 'hidden' (i.e. I can't see a tab up the top, even when that tab is active. And when I navigate away from it to another tab, it is invisible again).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Allowing a zero as the first digit in an insert record form field

    I have a form that has an insert record behavior applied to
    it. I would like to be able to put a number into one of the form
    fields that begins with the letter zero (i.e. 010507). The trouble
    is that when I insert any number beginning with a zero, the first
    zero in the number gets dropped when it is entered into the
    database. This occured even when I tried changing the field type
    from number to text in Access.

    Oh, I failed to change the field type to "text" in the insert
    record dialogue box as well.

  • First digit of date if 0, gets truncated-upload problem

    Hi,
    I have a situation where in i am downloading a file in user setting format into an excel. The date field is hence stored in DDMMYYYY format.
    Suppose the DD of my date is below 10 ie 01-09, the zero digit gets truncated in excel. so while uploading there is a conversion error.
    I am using TEXT_XLS_CONVERT_SAP to uploa data. i want the date in the excel in DDMMYYYY format (according to my user setting).
    Regards,
    Herwin.

    Hi Herwin,
    Your internal table seems to have date field of DATE data type. Instead use field of type Text.
    mdate(10) type c.
    Loop over the internal table & move the data from DATE field to the New text field. Download the Text field instead of DATE field.
    Thanks,
    Best regards,

  • Gatekeeper Drop First Digit

    Hi
    I have a gatekeeper with multilple CCM registered and also Multiple PSTN gateways.
    When a call to the PSTN is dialed it is prefixed with a 9 but the plans on the gatekeeper dont have a 9 as on inbound calls there is no 9.
    Is there a way i can drop the 9 on calls from the CCM when the gatekeeper decides where to route the call without having 2 copies of the number?
    example of my zone prefix. It does not match the call outbound as there is no 9, but i need the 9 to be there when it hits the other gateway.
    zone prefix gk-ht-zn-ccm-01 0845123222* gw-priority 10 N4-DRY-HOST-VGW-RL_1 N4-DRY-HOST-VGW-RL_2
    Thanks
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    Unfortunately, gatekeepers don't manipulate digits - they basic just resolve phone numbers to IP address.
    You'll need to translate the dialed number on the inbound voip leg dial-peer of the gateway.

  • When using yahoo mail on firefox, when replying to emails the first letter has started to not record/appear. not an issue with my clicking, rather firefox recording the letter/digit. this does not appear to be an issue on Safari or Chrome.

    first digit typed when replying to an email on yahoo mail on firefox is not appearning. not an issue on safari or chrome browsers.

    I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
    I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck.

  • Data disappears when a field is added to report

    I have a report that uses two files. The first one has a field called "amount code", and the second includes that code field as well as a description of the code.
    But when I link that second file to the first one, data disappears when I drag a field from the second file into the report. The first 10 fields in the report are from the first file, and they look fine. But as soon as I drag in any of the fields from the second file, all of the data in the report disappears. (This happens no matter where I drag that field to...data, page headers, etc.)
    I'm pretty sure I have the files linked correctly. Can anyone tell my why this happens?
    (When I use the either file by itself, things look fine.)
    Thanks, Jon

    Hi Raghavendra,
    I think I have it figured out (or more accurately, our DBA figured it out for me).
    The problem is that in the main file, the code field is only one digit long (string). But in the second file (the code description file), that code field is 8 digits long, even though only the first digit has any data (followed by 7 blanks). Therefor CR doesn't see any matches.
    It looks like the solution is to truncate the field in the code description file so it's only one digit long instead of 8.
    But thanks for the help...I'm clearly over my head, and very much appreciate your assistance.
    Jon

  • Duplicated MovieClips disappearing during play

    am making my own version of a spaceship fighting game. At one point I want to randomly spawn enemies. Here is what I am doing.
    I have a movieclip in the library called enemyShip, AS-Linkage is normalEnemy. Object not placed on the scene. On the actionScipt on that frame, I have the code bellow, which does that for me. What is happening is this: when I publish and run the swf file, the first two enemies spwan properly, starting from the third each new spawn 'hides', but does not delete, the one before it. the second enemy is the first to disappear. The first enemy stays visible. Ideas please? I have tried duplicateMovieClip and attachMovieClip and they both have the same result. Sorry for the long question!
    var origEnemy:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("normalEnemy", "origEnemy",  this.getNextHighestDepth();
    var numberOfEnemies:Number = 1;
    var enemyIndex:Number = 0;
    _root.onLoad();
      spawnEnemy();
      interval = setInterval(spawnEnemy,1000 + Math.random() * 2000);
    // Spawns new enemies
    function spawnEnemy()
       if (numberOfEnemies > 10)
      clearInterval(interval);
       // Randomly calculate the starting coordinates of newly spawned enemy 
       var x_position = Math.random() * 50;
       var y_position = Math.random() * 700;
       // spawn a new enemy and assign random location 
      enemiesArray.push(origEnemy.duplicateMovieClip("enemy" + enemyIndex, this.getNextHighestDepth()));
       //_root.attachMovie("normalEnemy","enemy" + enemyIndex,this.getNextHighestDepth());
       // assign random location
      enemiesArray[enemyIndex]._x = x_position;
      enemiesArray[enemyIndex]._y = y_position;
       // incerement number of enemies
      numberOfEnemies++;
       // Increment enemy Index
      enemyIndex++;

    if 'this' is not the same as _root, the following line is problematic:
    var origEnemy:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("normalEnemy", "origEnemy",  this.getNextHighestDepth();
    ie, use:
    var origEnemy:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("normalEnemy", "origEnemy",  _root.getNextHighestDepth();
