Fixed length for InputField

Hi
I have InputFilds that have to be limited. For example max length = 3 letters
I set up the property length = 3 but into InputField is possible to be enter more letters. Do you know is it possible for UI InputField to limit the size of entered text?

Hi,
I saw this details in Help from Netweaver studio
Methods in the Web Dynpro IWDAbstractInputField API
There is a method to get the length of your input feild and set the lenth of your input field, you can bind your inputfiels lenth to context attribute which inturn have a property like string,char,int this attribure you will map with Bapi hence on display you will get what you want...
Method Name Parameter Return Value Short Description
getLength int Returns the value of the length property.
setLength (int) Sets the value of the length property.
bindingOfLength String Returns the path of the context element to which the length property is bound. Returns NULL if no binding exists

Adapter file receiver - file with fix length record

Hi everybody,
In the file adapter receiver, I want to create a fixed length record file .
Each record need to have the same size.
How is it possible, because I have a file which contains variable legnth depending of the lenght of message?
exemple:
<mess>
   <row>1234567</row>
   <row>123456789A</row>
</mess>
give the file
1234567<CR>
123456789A<CR>
<CR> means carriage return
and I want a file like
1234567   <CR>
123456789A<CR>
with the same lenth of record (10 in the example).
Can anyone help me, ,please?
Kind regards.

Hi Eric,
Create a value user defined function with one input argument a and name it is inputpad. Then add the following code:
Imports: java.*;
while (a.length()<Integer.parseInt("10"))
     a= a +" " ;
return String;
Here I am assuming your fixed length for the field is 10. If it is more or less then change the number. Now in your mapping do all your logic and then in the final add this like:
input ---> your logic --> inputpad udf --> target.

How to output non-fixed length field by DMEE?

Hi,
In DMEE, I need to set a fixed length for each field. If the source data length is less than what we set, it will ouput space to fill in rest of the place. Is that a way I could just out put exactly what I need? No extra space to be output.
Thank you!

Hi
The extra spaces can be removed as follows:
In the transaction DMEE --> Head --> Format attributes --> Field type = 1

Setting specific length for a line

I'm looking for a way to enter an exact length for a line. Also, exact dimensions for a rectangle.
I'm assuming there's a 'Properties' window or something that has the shape's properties, but I'm not seeing anything. I've searched the help site, but not seeing anything there either.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
doug

Look for the little downturned arrow in the tool options bar for more options for the different shape tools.
I don't know that you can set a fixed length for the Line Tool, but could use the rectangle tool for a fixed line length.

Parameters for Ingesting wide fixed-length files?

I created an SSIS process to ingest fixed-length text files into this table.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Temp_Source_Fixed](
[Column 0] [text] NULL,
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [Temp_Source_Fixed_ID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
It works fine with most of the files, but one file has almost 26000 characters per row and the process halts with a truncation error.
I suspect that if I change a parameter on the connection manager it will work, since I can manually use
the SSMS wizard to import manually if I specify Text Stream (DT_Text) for the data type of Column 0 versus String (DT_STR).
For the connection manager I have
In the connection string I have Provider=SQLNCLI10.1 and Auto Translate=False.
In Misc parameters, DelayValidation=False.
For the Data Flow Task I have
DefaultBufferSize is 10485760
Any ideas on what I need to change?
Thanks,
Jnana

You need the column in question defined in SSIS as DT_Text.
You need to either drop the flat file connector and re-do it with this datatype, or access the Advanced Editor input and output column and alter its datatype there

Issue with Mapping Spaces for Receiver Flat File Fixed Length

Hi Mapping experts,
my scenario is receiver FILE (fixed length)
so if a validation applied on a target field returns false then I need to pass the spaces having the number of characters defined for that field
example
targetField length = 8
using "IF" function to perform validation,   if validation is true THEN = FIELD
if validation is false ELSE = "________"    (underscore to represent 8 spaces)
the problem is the validation is of multiple occurences in one queue and if the "true" statement is on the 6th row, I get _________ which is the value of the 1st row (which is correct because rows 1 to 5 are all false therefore having the value of ELSE which is _______ mapped to it)
How can I get the value of the TRUE row regardless of what row it is located?
e.g. IF = input is 5 rows of validation,     TRUE is in the 3rd row,   i will get the 3rd row value
       IF = input is 5 rows of validation,     NO TRUE Value,   return 8 spaces
right now when i Display Queue values are
iF:in0          iF:in1          iF:in2          iF:out
1111          false          [_________]     [_________]
2222          false                    [_________]
3333          true                    3333
4444          false                    [_________]
5555          false                    [_________]
In above Queue i only get the value of the 1st row which is ________   --> because my target field occurrences definition in Data Type is 0....1
if I change Data Type occurrences to 1...unbounded I get 5 target fields generated --> WRONG because target file is fixed field, so only one occurence of that target field is required

Can you give me the idea of what validation are you using so that anyone can help you with the UDF straightaway
because you need to have a UDf in place which will iterate the number of times the field occurs and then it will check the entire queue first ,where validation is true and only at the instant it will return the value
if the entire queue is value it will return the 8 underscores
I hope this is what you wanted

Gui_download issue - trailing spaces getting truncated for fixed length fil

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I need to download an internal table as a fixed length file.
The code is as follows:
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
BIN_FILESIZE =
FILENAME = L_FILE
FILETYPE = 'ASC'
APPEND = 'X'
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ' '
HEADER = '00'
TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS = ' '
WRITE_LF = ' '
COL_SELECT = ' '
COL_SELECT_MASK = ' '
DAT_MODE = ' '
IMPORTING
FILELENGTH =
TABLES
DATA_TAB = IT_TEXT
EXCEPTIONS
FILE_WRITE_ERROR = 1
NO_BATCH = 2
GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 3
INVALID_TYPE = 4
NO_AUTHORITY = 5
UNKNOWN_ERROR = 6
HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED = 7
Each row in the internal table IT_TEXT is 242 chars long.
The FM is truncatinf the trailing blanks on the file. How do I get the FM to not truncate the trailing blanks in each row?
My internal table has multiple rows and the number of rows on the table should be same as the number of rows on the downloaded file.
I tried setting the WRITE_LF parameter to space.
In this case, the trailing spaces are not truncated(which is as per my requirement), BUT all the rows in the internal table appear in a single line on the downloaded file instead of multiple rows.
I also tried setting the TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS field to space but that does not work either. Spaces at the end of the row are still truncated.
so the requirement is: the spaces at the end of each row should not be truncated and
each row on the internal table should have a corresponding row on the downloaded file.
(it is a fixed length file)
I also tried using the following code
class cl_abap_char_utilities definition load.
DATA: BEGIN OF IT_TEXT OCCURS 0,
       TEXT(242) TYPE C,
       cr_lf TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf,
      END OF IT_TEXT.
when i compile, i get the following error
The type "CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES" is unknown.
Im using R/3 4.6C. Could this be a problem?
Please suggest a solution for this problem.
Thanks!

FILE model support for CSV and fixed-length format!!

Hi all,
As I'm working on a data conversation project, we are in the middel to design whether the extraction for the data source should be in CSV or fixed-length. Here is the pros and cons:
CSV:
1. There are a lot of remarks field in the data which are all free text. It's really hard to define the record delimiter.
2. Extracted file size for CSV is relatively small compare with fixed-length.
fixed-length:
Even for fixed length, we can either
1. Extract the file without an separator/delimiter (1 row) with fixed column length
2. Extract the file with fixed column length per record and define the record delimiter to separarter the record.
I'd try all the above formats and it seems ODI is more prefer on CSV or combined mode (fixed column length) as:
1. The LKM (file to external table) need to be customzised to handle the file format which without any separator/delimiter
2. It is very hard to reverse the column definition for fixed-length (no delimiter)
Any suggestion?

You can transform your files to an xml format using respective tags:
eg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MONEY>
<MoneyID>MoneyID0</MoneyID>
<ContractID>ContractID0</ContractID>
<EffectiveDate>2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z</EffectiveDate>
<MessageDate>2006-05-04T18:13:51.0Z</MessageDate>
<ReversalIndicator>false</ReversalIndicator>
<PriorMoneyID>PriorMoney, something "ID0" for life;</PriorMoneyID>
<Amount>0</Amount>
<MoneyType>0</MoneyType>
<ExchangeDetails>
<CostBasis>0</CostBasis>
<ExchangeType>0</ExchangeType>
<MEC>false</MEC>
<LoanAmount>0</LoanAmount>
</ExchangeDetails>
</MONEY>
So, as you see, you can embed any symbol in a tag.
After creating this xml file, you can use XML technology in Topology Manager to map to this file and then create a data store based on this technology.
And you will be able to retrieve the data in this file under respective column headers without worrying about delimiters existing in the actual data.

You can create an nXSD using Native Format Builder and use lookAhead attribute to read values at specific position and use that as the choice. You can find an example here

Here i have four recorsetnames namely HEADER1,HEADER2,HEADER3,HEADER4,HEADER5,HEADER6 all the recordsets are of same size but the lengths of the fields in it vary so i specified the following parameters
HEADER1.fieldFixedLengths=1,3,1
HEADER1.fieldNames=value1,value2,value3
HEADER1.endseperator=" "
HEADER2.fieldFixedLengths=1,3,2
HEADER2.fieldNames=value1,value2,value3
HEADER2.endseperator=" "
MY OUPUT XML STRUCTURE SHOULD BE like this
<header1>
<value1>9<\value1>

Configuring unicode charcterset for fixed length control file

Hi all,
we are setting our control file to support any language characters while data loading, we all set with our database configuration , need to configure our control file which is fixed length, we are using CHARACTERSET UTF8 and and also tried with CHARACTERSET AL32UTF16, its working fine for variable length control file but for fixed length the foriegn charecers like latin-I,greek, danish charactrers are taking more byte and affecting to next position data. and our data file is in UTF8 (not in regular ANSI formatt).
please advise
here is our control file example:
options (errors=999,SKIP=0)
Load DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
append
INTO TABLE TABLE_NAME
TRAILING NULLCOLS
field_name1 position(1:30) "trim(:fiels_name1)",
field_name2 position(247:306) "trim(:field_name2)",
)

I think you should move thread to: {forum:id=732}.

Fixed length co-ordinates for business graphics

Hi,
We are using business graphics UI element with (chart type : Bars, Columns). The graphics output is working fine but the co-ordinates value of series is automatically getting adjusted to the maximum value of series values obtained.
But i want the co-ordinates values to be of fixed length. I tried changing the customizing values for value axis (Minimum value - 0 and Maximum value - 100) but doesnt seem to work.
Can someone help me on how to achieve this?
Regards,
Vijay

Hello Vijay Raj,
the MinimumCalculation / MaximumCalculation needs to be set to UserDefined.
Kind regards,
Silke
<ChartAxes>
<ValueAxis id="ValueAxis1">
    <Minimum>0</Minimum>
    <MinimumCalculation>UserDefined</MinimumCalculation>
     <Maximum>100</Maximum>
    <MaximumCalculation>UserDefined</MaximumCalculation>
</TimeAxis>
</ChartAxes>
