Force Upper Case - Field Validation

I have seen a post regarding forcing upper case only on Account Name or any other text field but I am still having trouble with the exact syntax. Has anyone had any success in doing this? Any help would be apreciated...Thanks

Hi,
Not sure what is the problem you face. The above throws error even if it finds one small character letter in the Account Name which means forces all as upper case. I assume that is what you are looking for

Force Upper Case on Fields

In trying to stay in line with the processes of our company and the Oracle eBusiness suite, is there anyway to force users to enter specific fields in upper case versus lower/mixed case?
Thanks,

Hi,
Not easily unfortunately, there is a work around requiring field validation. e.g:
(FindNoneOf((FieldValue('<AccountName>')),"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789")) = 0)
In your case obviously you want the letters to be lower case. Then put a good error message and you're away, this needs to be on each field though.
Thanks

How do I make my text field automatically upper case?

How do I make my text field in a form automatically upper case?

Use the following as the text field's custom Keystroke JavaScript (choose a Format type of Custom):
// Keystroke script for text field
event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();

I need to tanslate a field into upper case

Hello :
i would like to ask one favor i am trying to make a selections of data.
i have a RFC function that recieve a parameter and this parameter is used in selection of data.
for example when i send the parameter i transalate this into upper case using TRANSALATE VARIABLE TO UPPER CASE, so when i make the selections of the information i found all those data that also have upper case information in this field , but when one of that fields doesn't have upper case i can't find the information.
The problem is that the table has both information upper-lower case.
if somebody knows how to fix this problem i will appreciate .

One way to handle this if you can't control how the data is entered and the table is not too big, is to get all of the data into an internal table, translate the variable, then loop at the internal table and translate the field that you want to compare to upper case, then do the comparison, if not satisfied, then delete it from the internal table.
Translate v_parm to upper case.
select * into table itab from ztable.
loop at itab.
translate itab-fld1 to upper case.
    if v_parm <> itab-fld1.
      delete itab.
      continue.
    endif.
endloop.

Set Oracle to force searching string by upper case

Our application using Oracle 11.1 and Hibernate. Data store in our database in mix cases. many of our queries are like select first_name from persons where upper(first_name) like 'DAV%'
It returns Dave, DAVE, dave, David, DAVIE etcAccording to our developers, Hibernate does not send query select first_name from persons where upper(first_name) like 'DAV%' it only doesselect first_name from persons where first_name like 'DAV%'This only return DAVE and DAVID.
Question: Is there a way to set Oracle, at database level or table level, to always search by upper case, that is, select first_name from persons where first_name like 'DAV%' is converted to select first_name from persons where upper(first_name) like 'DAV%'

Yes, there is a way. New in 10GR2....
You can set NLS_COMP.
http://www.orafaq.com/node/91
I tested it and it works well...
Example: SQL> alter session set NLS_COMP=ANSI;
Session altered.
SQL> alter session set NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI;
Session altered.
SQL> select name from names where name = 'Johny Jacobson';
NAME
Johny Jacobson

Fetch data from IR to form in UPPER CASE format for text field items

Hello,
Can anyone please help with this issue. I have a IR report with form and I want to fetch the data to upper case when I go to the form level to edit the details from the IR report. I am using the Oracle APEX in built automatic row processing DML to update, create or delete the records. Is their any way, where I can convert the data to upper case whenever user creates a new record or updates the existing record using the in-built automatic row processing DML.
Please help.
Thanks,
Orton

Jari,
I have tried your option but no luck. The thing is the text is getting converted from lower to upper case when i navigate from report to form level. But I want to save the data to the database all upper case, even if the user enters data in lower case and this applies for both inserts and updates. Whenever i tried to create or update a record, all the data should be converted to upper case before inserting or updating to the database.
Please help.
Thanks,
Orton

Trying to create a Field Validation Expression and need help

I have a picklist field and another field that are in question. I want to set some sort of rule that forces the second field to be populated only If specific values are selected from the picklist field.
I was going the route of a field validation Rule, but everything i've tried so far does not produce the results i am trying to achieve.
The first type of expression i tried was:
([<plProduction_Print_Account_Category_ITAG>] <> LookupValue("OCC_CUST_LOV_ACCOUNT_1", "No Production Print") AND ([<stSIC_Code_ITAG>] IS NULL))
This is generating the field validation error message when i select any of the correct values from the picklist. the problem is still the second field, which will generate the error if a value is entered into the second field, regardless of the picklist value selected. Switching the "IS NULL" to "IS NOT NULL" only reverses the problem on the second field, causing the error to generate when the second field is updated to a NULL or blank value.
I also tried :
= 'No Production Print' AND [<stSIC_Code_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL
and got similar results.
([<plProduction_Print_Account_Category_ITAG>] = LookupValue("OCC_CUST_LOV_ACCOUNT_1", "No Production Print"))
Similar results as well.
Does this need to be an IIF statement? Do I need to make this a workflow expression instead? i could really use some help as I have tried everything i can think of and admit, i'm not the expression guru!!!. Any assistance would be appreciated.
TeknoMan

Yes we have the same request and we used the following expression. Example we have a field "Método de pago" ( [<plMtodo_de_pago_ITAG<]), it's values are "CHEQUE and DEPOSITO" if we select DEPOSITO three more fields were requiered Route, Sucursal de banco and Clabe so we have to put this validation in the four fields including Metodo de pago.
[<plMtodo_de_pago_ITAG>] <> "DEPOSITO" OR ([<Route>] IS NOT NULL AND [<nSucursal_de_banco_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL AND [<stCLABE_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL)
well in the field CLABE we put the following [<plMtodo_de_pago_ITAG>] <> "DEPOSITO" OR ([<Route>] IS NOT NULL AND [<nSucursal_de_banco_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL AND [<stCLABE_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL AND Len([<stCLABE_ITAG>])=18) this was because the len of the value must be 18 characters.
I hope this works for you

How to cast a fieldinput value to upper case.

Im not a java programer I guess that this must be a silly thing.
Im searching data in R/3 from 2 fields 1 numeric and the other alphanumeric. This alphanumeric fields if I put it in upper case works, if I wirte it in lower case doesnt works.
In R/3 when I test the FM doesnt matter if I put it lower or upper case, it works fine.
so I wanna know how can I in WD cast the value that I put in that fieldinput be converted to upper case when I hit the search button.
Thx

Hi,
When you test the FM in SE37 in R3 there is an option at the top of the screen Called Uppercase/Lowercase - this controls whether the input is automatically converted to upper case for alphanumeric fields.
The other option you have, if it is a custom FM, is to translate the input of the alphanumeric fields in the ABAP - it is quite common to have to translate or convert input data to make sure it is in the same format as the backend system.
I prefer to do this sort of conversion on the backend system as usually you have a better guarentee that it will be in the correct format, than if you do it in the Java element.
Just my opinion,
Gareth.

HT1338 My MacBook Pro (running Leopard 10.5.8) won't allow keyboard to type an upper case 'C' using the shift key...works fine with caps lock, or, with my Typinator workaround using double-typed lower case c (not always best). Any ideas?

My MacBook Pro keyboard won't type an upper case 'C' using the shift key... only with caps lock. Workaround has been to use Typinator by typing a double lower case c, not always the best solution. Mac is a refurbished model, which initially was fine. Apple tech helped me correct the quirk when it first appeared, but now it has returned and refuses fixes. Any ideas?

I'm willing to bet that this has something to do with iCloud. I've been facing a frozen computer nearly every time I go into it.
In Activity Monitor I have seen two programs associate with iCloud that take up about 2.5 GB of memory (I only have 4 in the computer) -- causing everything to freeze. One of these is called "iCloud Helper" and the other one is something like "Address Book Sync helper" -- I see parts of these names in the stuff you have posted.
I am at my wits' end with these and have written to Apple asking them to do away with these or fix them. To get rid of the Address book sync thing I have gone into system preferences for iCloud and unchecked Contacts -- but then spontaneously it gets rechecked. And oftentimes after I Force Quit the iCloud helper, it spontaneously turns on again. My conclusion --- the iCloud is basically unusable. It turns a Mac into the most useless, clogged, sluggish PC. If this is happening to a lot of people's computers -- and I see no reason why yours or mine should be an exception -- these programs just might destroy Apple itself.
So -- I'm about to completely give up on iCloud, and I suspect that others will too unless this gets fixed.
Cheers,
Bob

Field Validation on Custom Obj. 4: Value of one field making other Req.

Hello All,
I have been working on a field validation problem for a while. I have a custom Picklist on CO4. This picklist has two values YES and NO (a checkbox does not meet requirements). What I need to do is If Picklist='YES' then FieldA, FieldB, and FieldC are Required else they are not required. FieldA = Text (short), FieldB = Date, and FieldC = Currency. I've tried numerous ways to validate on Fields A, B, and C with statements like IIf(Picklist=LookupValue(Picklist,"YES"),FieldA<>NULL,FieldA) or IIf(FieldValue(Picklist)="YES",FieldA<>NULL,FieldA) etc... these were just my latest attempts at this point I'm jsut trying random things to try to get it working. I am probably using incorrect syntax (even though it passes the sytax checker). If anyone has any suggestion let me know. Also if I haven't made clear what it is I'm attempting to do let me know and I'll try to clarify.
Thanks,
Z

Hi,
if I understand correctly, you want this functionality:
If Picklist = NO => it doesn't matter what values are contained in Field A, B and C.
If Picklist = YES => Field A is not null and Field B is not null and Field C is not null
To trigger the validation when the picklist value changes then you have to configure the Field Validation for the Picklist:
[<Picklist>]=LookupValue("Picklist","NO") OR ( Len([<Field_A>])>0 AND Len([<Field_B>])>0 AND Len([<Field_C>])>0 )
You have to put the validation also on Field_A and Field_B and Field_C, because in case of an update of , let's say, Field_B, you should prevent that Field_B is blanked.
If someone updates only Field_B and he doesn't change the value of the Picklist, the validation expression put on the Picklist is not evaluated.

in the Report to handle like this situation.. we use the extentions to the parameter as LOWER CASE .
