Form Number

Can I add a ticket number or request number (tracking number) to a form when a person fills out and hits submit. Then when they receive their submission notice can they get that number?

Here is what you may try....
add a textField add set the default value to 100000 (or the number you want) and in 'preSave' event add the following JS code
this.rawValue = parseInt(this.rawValue) +1
Good Luck,

Modify Form Number at Bottom of Every Page

How do I modify the form number at the bottom of every page of a LiveCycle form that I did not create.
The form number appears to be below the table that contains all of the form fields and form-field labels and is on the same line as the page number and name of the company that created the form. Thanks.

If the form number field is placed in the Master Page, then you need to change it only in one place.
But if it is placed in each of the page, then you need to modify in every page.
To find out where the field is, first select the field and verify in the Heirarchy tab where the field is placed.
Thanks

Finding the form number - Simple Q !

I am trying to process the form values inside a PL/SQL block on that page. I get the values and after processing I insert the values into a table. I have created a PL/SQL block.. and I am sure the block is called properly because everything is processsed but the form element processing which is based on the fxx.COUNT varible
How should I find the form number ..?
for use in the variable..apex_application.g_f??..
I have tried in another application and used f01 and it worked fine. I guess the other application was a demo application and it was the first form I used in that application.
Thanks in advance

Since we don't know what you are using to create the fxx.... items, we can work backwards from the form itself.
View the source of your rendered page and locate the HTML tag for one of the checkboxes. [<input type="checkbox" name="f??" value="???">] The value in the 'name' attribute is the fxx value that you are looking for. It is either assigned by APEX or by code on the page, depending on what was used to create the items themselves.

ABAP Forms - Number of Copies

Hello,
I am having problems with a form that I created in SAP. The form is for a barcode label. The only contents of the form is a text include and a call to an external report that pulls in data. When I call the form from a program that I wrote it always prints two copies. However when the form is called via MIGO, it only prints one copy. Does anyone know what could cause this? I have looked at the number of copies field in the itcpo that I pass the OPEN_FORM function routine. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Ryan,
Since you are getting two copies of same output, right. I suggest you to run the program in debug mode to see what actually happens during run time. Check simultaneously the way the program runs and the status of the list where the contents gets printed. You may come up with a solution. For debugging check this thread...

Tabular form number validtion is not working

Hi,
I have an tabular form with updatable columns which has datatype as number. i have created the in built tabular form validation "Item/value specified is numeric" for this updatable columns.
when i entered any non numeric character like "asdasd" into this updatable columns. it shows me plsql error. PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error.
can you please help me on this?
Regards,
Nilesh

Hi,
If you enter "asdasd" and get PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error , it only implies the right thing is happening.
Maybe what you are alluding to is that the messages is not the way you want it. It should perhaps be "<column_name> must be numeric."
What do you have in the Error Message item of this process? If is it null you are likely to get the message of the type you are getting.
Did you by any chance try to change the default error message, which reads "#COLUMN_HEADER# must be numeric."?
Regards,

PDF Form Number Generator

Someone posted a similar question a few months ago about creating a purchase order form and then having a text field that calculates a new number each time the purchase order is opened on the server. I have a very little coding experience so is there someone who would be willing to give me some guidance as to how to go about this?

This is not a simple question to answer.
If you want a random number assigned this is simple using the date object of JavaScript and all of the code and control can reside within the form.
For other cases there are a number of specifics that need to be addressed.
Will there be more than one user creating the form with the serial number?
Is the serial number sequential and controled?
How will the users interface to the form and the control file/database for the serial nubmers?

Web Forms Number Field - Not processing decimals!

We have created a monster web form on a clients site. As it is, we have had to setup an API to deal with the data after its been generated by BC and modify it before sending it on to the client. The client saw no reason for fields that did not have anything entered against them to be sent through in the workflow notification - and I agreed.
Now after all these other problems have been resolved, I discover that all my "number" fields cannot process a decimal place, and they round up or down. BC have suggested I need to recreate the form and just make them all 'text strings'.
Not good enough. Its an EPIC form with over 100 fields in it. We, in good faith, read the instructions that can be found here: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/478/bc_478.html?bc-partner
that state "Number - a text box that must have a number entered into it". No note about NOT using decimals!
The confusing thing is, it lets you enter the decimal from the front end, even displays the web form confirmation page correctly with decimals. But when it creates a case in BC, it rounds the numbers. So its only at this late testing stage that we have discovered the issue
Does anyone have any ideas about faster ways of re-creating this entire form ?
I did submit a support ticket, and was told to switch to the old UI and then just change the type of the fields. But when we try to change a form field from 'number' to 'string' it brings up the message "WARNING: Field updated successfully but type not changed as field has associated values.". Then they said to:
Copy that specific webform change the type fields of the form and then remove the old webform and re-name this one copy with the first webform name. The copy option is available under the link I have provided to you.
However this still means we need to change *all* the fields and then get every field' s ID and insert it into the javascript. Very very time consuming
So A) everyone else be warned and B) Does anyone have a shortcut?
Thanks!!

Thanks for confirming my fears
Its a shame that since its such a long standing thing, it hasnt actually been added to the knowledgebase... which when we started this project (long before this schmozzle of a new system was introduced) was the most relevant place to look. When I start something, I tend to look in the KB.... not think "oh perhaps I should check the FAQ's in case there is a long standing issue that isnt contained in the KB".

Portal Form: Number Format Mask Accepted Values

Hi, i'm trying to format the way numbers are displayed in our forms, specifically instead of 50,000.00 we want 50,000 - without the .00.
I cannot find anything on format masks in the portal documentation, and the standard oracle masks I have looked up such as "NNNN" etc don't seem to be supported.
Trial and error has yielded a mask of : 99,999,999 which does get rid of the decimal, but introduces a problem where if the value is smaller than the mask it is shifted into the middle of the field (leading spaces are being added for every missing unit that is specified in the mask), but obviously if a smaller mask definition is used then larger numbers appear as ###### which is worse than the leading zero problem.
Where in the documentation can I find the accepted forms of numerical number format masks for use in portal forms?
Thanks..

Let me know if you find a solution to this. I even asked my Oracle instructor and she couldn't tell me how to setup a date format mask. This is what she gave me which doesn't work, but I'm not saying I'm the quickest race car at the track. lol
"Hi,
Try the following format mask "("099")""-"099"-"0999. They have an example of this on page 7-12. I'm not sure if OTN may have a listing of any Forms format mask. Search under Forms Developer and see if you find anything.
Take care,
L"

Auto-Create a form number when form is opened.

Hello,
I was wondering if I can auto-create a number to populate in sequence every time I open the form? For example, Microsoft Word, Excel auto populates the date when the form is open. I'd like the same functionality when creating a form to auto-populate a number counter each time the form is opened.
Any ideas?

That depends on how the PDF is being created and served to users.
If you are simply putting an interactive PDF form on a file share or a web site, you could attach script to a form event to generate a unique id but it will not be a sequential number. To create a sequentially unique id you will have to call a server process which maintains the sequential number through a call to a persistent store (a database, XML file, flat file, etcetera).
If you are generating the PDF form using LiveCycle (server solution), the server process used for generating the form could call a process as described above.

Regarding Smart Forms(Number of copies)

Hi Experts,
I need to know the system field for holding the number of copies in smart forms, because i need to print the sequential number in the header window depends on the user's input(User will give the input no. of copies dynamically). Please advice me

Hi
The number of copies of an output is populated in the field NAST-ANZAL. The masterdata for the number of copies is maintained in NACH-ANZAL for any sales related transaction. The table NAST is however applicable irrespective of application.
You can pass on your data to this field (NASST-ANZAL) for your reqmt.
Reward if this helps.

Form number challenge

Hi there,
I have been battling with an issue in workflow, but I can't seem to get good results. I've also looked around here for some clues, but there doesn't seem to be any.
I have a form that needs to be numbered. The number format is: PRYYMMXXX, where PR is a fixed prefix; YY are the last two digits of the current year; MM are the two digits of the current month, and XXX is a three digit sequential number.
Mi challenge is that the sequential number must restart when the month changes.
I was able to properly get the prefix, YY, MM, and XXX numbers to display on the form, but I don't know how to do it in order for XXX to reset when the month changes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Daeveed
Avoka have developed a QPAC for generating this type of sequential number. You can download the "Unique String" QPAC at:
http://www.avoka.com/Avoka/qpac_library.shtml
This QPAC does not have the ability to automatically reset the sequential number on a date change, but this shouldn't be too difficult to implement. Have a look at the QPAC, and if you want to discuss further, please email info-at-avoka.com

Form number count

Hi, I am stuck with probably the most simple script i need for my Livecycle form. I want to have a number in the form with 6 characters which counts up starting from a certain number each time the form is saved.
Can someone help me out on this one?
Thx in advance, Tom

Here is what you may try....

Good Luck,

Come and join the fun with this tricky FORMS number !!!

hi,
imagine the following scenario.
user TOM is at site B and using a form to update a few records.
Meanwhile BOB at site A is doing the same on the same table. Suddenly BOB gets the "Could not reserve record" message. (They have encountered a lock)
Q. How can I programmatically inform BOB that TOM is the reason for the lock or vice versa ?
I need to get user from SQL AREA or something possibly?
Product is FORMS4.5 on win 95.
ANy ideas very welcome folks.
Please contribute.
thanks
nik.

At least until Oracle 8.1.7 there is no way to detected who is locking a record. But in Forms you can do
the following (in the next post I will discuss the benefits and limitations) :
- Create a table called user_locks with :
record_rowid rowid (primary key)
lock_id number(10)
user_locked varchar2(16)
datetime_locked date
- Define a database sequence called user_lock_id :
increment by 1
start with 1
minvalue 1
maxvalue 1073741823
cycle
- Create a procedure in the database to handle user locks :
create or replace procedure lock_user_record (
p_rowid in varchar2
) as
v_user_locked varchar2(8);
v_datetime_locked date;
v_lock_id pls_integer;
v_status pls_integer;
v_rowid rowid;
procedure insert_lock (
p_rowid in rowid,
p_lock_id in number
) is
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
begin
insert into user_locks
(record_rowid,lock_id,user_locked,datetime_locked) values
(p_rowid,p_lock_id,user,sysdate);
exception
when dup_val_on_index then
update
user_locks
set
lock_id = p_lock_id,
user_locked = user,
datetime_locked = sysdate
where
record_rowid = p_rowid;
end;
commit;
end;
begin
if p_rowid = 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' then
return;
end if;
v_rowid := chartorowid(p_rowid);
begin
select
lock_id,
user_locked,
datetime_locked
into
v_lock_id,
v_user_locked,
v_datetime_locked
from
user_locks
where
record_rowid = v_rowid;
exception
when no_data_found then
select
user_lock_id.nextval
into
v_lock_id
from
dual;
end;
v_status := dbms_lock.request(v_lock_id,6,0,true);
if v_status = 0 then -- Success
insert_lock(v_rowid,v_lock_id);
end if;
if v_status = 1 then -- Record locked by another user
raise_application_error(-20001,'Record locked by '||v_user_locked||' since '||to_char(v_datetime_locked)||' '||to_char(v_datetime_locked,'HH24:MI:SS')||'.');
end if;
if v_status = 2 then -- Deadlock detected
raise_application_error(-20002,'Deadlock detected.');
end if;
if v_status = 3 then
raise_application_error(-20003,'Parameter error trying to lock record.');
end if;
if v_status = 5 then
raise_application_error(-20004,'Illegal handle to lock record.');
end if;
end;
- On Forms redefine the trigger "ON-LOCK" :
lock_user_record(:block.rowid);

Oracle forms- Number formatting in post query

I have a column called num_value in a table.
When the user retrieves the data in post query I need the following formatting
For WBC if the value entered is 3 I want to show in the forms as 3.0 etc....
So I have a decode statement
Cursor C5 is select task_desc,decode(substr(task_desc,1,3),'WBC',to_char(num_value,'fm99.0'),
'RBC',to_char(num_value,'fm99.90'),
'HGB',to_char(num_value,'fm99.0'),
'HCT',to_char(num_value,'fm999.0'),
'PLT',num_value,num_value) as value,alpha_value
from qc_task_poch_results A,QC_TASKS B
where a.task_id = b.task_id
and a.procedure_id = 1127
and drive_id = 'DRV5528593'
Begin
Open C5;
Fetch C5 into :qc_task_results_poch.num_value
,:qc_task_results_poch.alpha_value;
Close C5;
End;
But I amm not getting the formatting.
The column in the form is non database .
When I run in toad, I get the right formatting.
TASK_DESC|VALUE|ALPHA_VALUE
WBC count|3.0|
RBC count|2.33|
HGB count|6.0|
HCT Count|17.0|
PLT count|56|
Any help is appreciated

You are formatting your data in your select statement not in Forms. Consequently, any format mask you may have on the Item where the data will be display will reformat your data to match the Item's format mask.
Do you have the format mask property defined on the Item? What is the data type of the item?

Web Form :Number of rows and columns

Hi All,
I have a web form with many rows and columns . Is it possible for a user to view only a limited rows in the form ? Not using Adhoc/Analyze option . since there are formula rows which wont appear in Analyze grid.
The user want to see only 5 to 10 random rows in the form ? How to do this ?
Please help.

I remember an option in 11.1 which allows users to dynamically add rows and I cannot find that in 11.1.2.2
I think the user will have to always update the user variable to what he want to see.
Regards
