Form Validation - Alpha numeric

In the Spry Validation TextField, I want to validate that
only numbers and letters are used for the password field. Pattern
does not work because I do not care in what sequence people put in
the letters and numbers, I just want them to be limited to letters
and numbers. I tried editing SpryValidationTextField.js and adding
a field 'alphanumeric,' but I do not know the syntax that would be
used to ensure that only alpha numeric characters would be inserted
(or conversely, that any other character would not be allowed).
Please help. Thank you.

Hi,
Try this:
var sprytextfield10 = new
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield10", "custom",
{validateOn:["blur", "change"], maxChars:35,
regExpFilter:/^[a-z0-9]*$/i, useCharacterMasking:true});
This will allow only alphanum characters usage only.
I think it is what you are looking for. I copy this from my
working form.

Validation on alpha numeric

Hi all,
Can anyone help me getting validation on not allowing special character on field. I need just alpha numeric to be entered in the field. I have a field with datatype varchar2, which is allowing user to add special chars also. Please let me know the validation which i can apply on that item to restrict user to not add special chars. Seek help. thanks in advance

Hi
you can use javascript for this, use this function and change the ascii values according to your need
function number_chk(e) { //only numbers
var k;
document.all ? k = e.keyCode : k = e.which;
return ((k > 47 && k < 58) || (k < 96 && k > 123) || k == 8);
This function is allowing only the Numbers to be entered in the field.
Call this function from your textfield's HTML form element attributes like this:
onkeypress = "return number_chk(event)"

Alpha Numeric - GL account numbering

Hi
Our client is going for alpha numeric GL accounts. FS00 will allow creating alpha numeric GL accounts. But i wanted to what may be problem in future?
I want to know will any account determination settings like OBYC (FI - MM Settings), VKOA (FI - SD settings), AO90 - Asset accounting GL determination or any other FI process will give problem at the time of configurations or in future?.
Please help me on this. What can be the points on the basis of which i can tell client that they should go for NUMERIC GL accounts only and not Alpha Numeric.

No other feedback ?
Avoid using alpha characters – they will create problems in sequencing
and sorting data in reports, assigning codes, using ranges, and when
creating validation and/or security rules”
What does security rules in this context ?

TS3276 I need feedback for the following issue. When I send email from this 27 inch iMac, the computer adds a string of characters in vertical column that represents the QWERTY key board, all alpha numeric characters are included. Yahoo mail, issue only o

Restating my issue / question...
When I send email from this iMac, there is a string of characters assigned. The characters are all the "alpha numeric" characters on the QWERTY key board. This only occurs when email is sent from this iMac. The issue does not manifest when using any other lap top or computer.
Hence, I have ruled out the issue is a yahoo mail matter.
Again, I can access the Yahoo mail account form multiple devices and send email without unintended assignment of character strings, but when I send wmail using this iMac, the issue happens everytime.
Characters are stacked verticaly in a column. It looks as if all characters (except function keys) are included in the string.
Any ideas?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

What is faster to search an alpha numeric primary key or number datatype

hi all,
I am looking for the answer to a question. What provides a faster and or efficient search for a primary key in any RDBMS is it alpha numeric or number? and why?I would appreciate you replies please.

Several years ago an Oracle support analyst posted the results of a test for a single column PK with where he compared the results for using a number data type verse a character data type. The analyst results showed you needed more than 100K accesses to measure any significant difference where the number data type showed a small performance advantage. Note that Oracle stores the number data type internally as a form of scientific notation and library math is necessary to work with the numbers. Most of the claims for using a number instead of character go back to the days where native binary words were used as the key. The test only covered signle column keys.
Use the data type that matches your natural business keys and call it a day. If you try to substitute an artificial numeric key you are likely to have to go through a business character value to locate the artificial key so any performance benefit you think you can get by using a numeric key will be imaginary due to increased overhead of maintaining multiple indexes.
You can set up and run your own tests.

Alpha Numeric number Ranges for Sales order Acording to sales office wise.

Hi Experts,
         I have a Issue for genrating sales order numbers With Alpha Numeric Number Ranges for sales office wise Internaly . How can we get this is there any Userexits or badi for this . If Any one Come across this issue plz guide me.
   The Alpha characters should not change that will be sales office region code. only the Numeric numbers should change .
Ex;   Abc-123000 to Abc-200000
Regards,
Ravi.

This alpha-numeric format is not possible directly with SNRO settings.
You need to opt for external number range, and in the exit of your respective transaction you need to takecare of this number generation explicitly by programming.

any more inputs from experts are welcome..

Tabular Form Validation not working in tabular form APEX 4.0

Hi,
I am using APEX 4.0. I have a tabular form with Tabular form validation done with it.
Item not null is the validation.. so if I dont type any value in the any of the fields in the tabular form and press the Submit button, the first time error is shown... but when I click the Submit button again, with still the empty rows the page is submitted.
How to resolve this issue?

BEx report hangs- selecting Alpha numeric values

I am working on the existing customer report
customer is the selection parameter for my report.
Issue is Customer has numerical and alpha numerical values.
If i give parameter rangs of value is numerical
01 - 500 query works fine
01-50cust1
50 cust1 - 195 cust2
query hangs.
Is their any way we can improve the query performance .
for searching alphanumerica values.
I have a workbook is built based on the query.
morethan 6 queries attached in the sheet 1....sheet2
each sheet has it is own query with values.
when I refresh and execute the workbook with the customer alphanumerica values it hangs.
Query is built based on the multiprovider.
Please help me onthis

Hello,
Try exporting in the 'fully formated grids and text'. It shouldl give you the 'member alias' used in the report.
Looks like if you export in the 'querry ready grids and text' it will show the 'member name' as in database although the report may have used the 'member alias'.

Is there a way to bypass the form Validation

I'm getting really upset with the Coldfusion built-in form validation for any HTML formfield ending by _date , _required, _time and so on...
My application proposes to the users to create some Properties for an object and later on to modify the values for all these properties.
I've got a piece of code building dynamically some form fields named just like the properties (by a simple cfloop on a DB query getting the property list).
And a registering page to records the new value in the DB.
But it crashes onto the classical "
Form entries are incomplete or invalid.
I can't control what the users set as property name (one of them was Checklist_required).
Is there any way to prevent this error by disabling this auto validation ?
(I'd like to avoid having to rename any field dynamically created and rename any forms variables before registering them on the DB : it's just NO WAY for me to rename the properties created by the users)

Fober1, that's not how it works. It's pretty much the ultimate example of the disjoint between how HTML forms work and how the naive CFML Cfform / cfinput design wished they work.
When a request is being processed by the coldfusion server, it just looks at the list of FORM (POST) variable names (whether it came from cfform or not; URL/GET params are exempt), and for those with certain suffixes (_date, _required, etc.), and it assumes their existence is intended to request validation another field without that suffix. It doesn't actually know or care whether form submission, nor the HTML rendered in the user's browser, actually came from "cfform" or "cfinput". The composition of the request that comes in (when a user clicks on "submit", or a hacker uses any tool imaginable) is out of the server's hands. The cfform code is not used during form submission processing, because the receiving template (the form action="this_one.cfm") doesn't even have to be the same template that has the cfform in it. There could be multiple conflicting cfforms directing users to request the same template on a single site, with or without the validation, even without considering what a whole other person might decide to send to your server.
The fact that it can work as intended for a typical user is irrelevant, because the purpose of validation is to deal with the atypical situation. A malicious or merely mischievous user that wanted to circumvent the validation would simply modify a copy of the page to leave out the "validation request" fields. For the developer to truly validate the input, additional code must be written, making the feature not only inadequate, but a complete waste of time. There absolutely should be a way to disable it at worst; Ideally, it would be taken out of coldfusion completely. It's not only useless, it's a security risk, wooing programmers to write code that doesn't do what they think it does.
The error message it gives isn't so great, either, and it's a pity that it can't show more than one validation message at a time, either. If more than one input is invalid, you could end up going through one round after another of submit + back button.
edit: I forgot to add the other important reason that this feature should never have existed: It is a nuisance to everyone else who doesn't want to use it at all, too! Those suffixes simply couldn't have been a worse choice, colliding with probably thousands of peoples' variable names. Why not "*_cfval_date" "*_cfval_time" etc?

Form validation working on one page, but not the other....

Hope someone can help with this.
I have a page below with a load of contact forms which all work fine :
http://www.goodsafariguide.com/judges/judges.php
I've trued to recreate (admittedly mostly by saving as....) the same functionality here :
http://www.goodsafariguide.com/awardssite/judges/
They do work when fulled in correctly, but there's a glitch with the validation.
Basically when you fill in a form incorrectly, the page reloads, with the form's accordion closed. When you open it up, its showing the ugly looking error at the top of the form.
Any ideas what's causing it to act like this, as opposed to the way it works in the first link?
Thanks.

When looking at the source code I note that - unlike the first page - this one doesn´t contain any references to the ADDT form validation libraries ("../includes/tng/scripts/FormValidation.js" and "../includes/tng/scripts/FormValidation.js.php"), meaning that the validation can´t work.

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

Unable to replicate both Numeric and alpha numeric vendors records from R3

Dear all,
In our ECC 5 environment, we have some vendors who master record numbers that are numeric internally assigned i.e 7000000 or 23000000 and some alphanumeric externally assigned i.e SmallBusiness1 or Grinad10. This is posible as you may know via vendor account groups.
We have implemented a classic scenario in SRM 4, Server 5 environment, therefore we need to replicate ECC backend vendors masters. We initally set SAP's AB business Partner (vendors) number range in SRM to A - zzzzzzzz and created numeric number ranges to match thoes set up for all our vendors in ECC.
When we ran BBPGETVD only the alpha numeric vendors records replicated down to SRM. The numeric were ingnored. The BBPGETVD t-code was reporting that the other vendors had incorrect data.
We then chnaged the AB Business Partner (vendor)number range to 000000001 - 999999999 and ran BBPGETVD. Only then did the numeric vendors get replicated down to SRM. But the issue is now, I cannot replicate the alpha numeric with out chaanging the number range back to A - zzzzzzzzz.
Question,
How can I set the Business Partner(Vendor) number range in SRM to anable the replication of both Numeric and Alpha numeric assigned vendor records down to SRM.
Thanks,
Grace

Christophe,
PLEASE HELP I HAVE AN URGENT ISSUE NOW!!!
On the subject of setting back the internal BP number range, does SRM expect it to be set for example to:
01 0000000001 - 0000999999?
Should the grouping for this internal number range be also ways set to 0001. Iam refernceing the settings in our sandbox client, they seam to be set up that way.
If its set to say 0003, will this cause a problem?
Because we have set all our BP ranges to external, any ORG unit, USER or position that we created after we "removed" the internal number range does appear to be working.
I have noticed this. when I login as a new user and try to create a shopping cart, tthe product category drop down does not work on the "new user".
If I go in the BP transaction and search for this new user or new unit org units that where created after the removal of the internal number range nothing is found!. The last internal BP number is 105.
Question.
If I set the internal number range back to
01 0000000001 - 0000099999 and set the current number to 106, then delete and recreate the org units, do you think this will work?
Please help I need to get this issue sorted out because as you said no new org unit/user can be setup.
Thanks Again.
Grace

How to make the Internal numbering as Alpha-Numeric

Hi,
In the Document Info Record, the Internal numbering is always numeric.
How to make it Alpha-Numeric?
Regards,
Shashi

Dear Shashidhar,
Number assignment is derived from Document Type of the DIR. You can customise the Document type settings (DC10) to make the number range as External or Mixed.
Modify the settings in "Number Assgmt" tab as 2 for only external number assignement and 3 for mixed number assignment.
Hope this solves your question.

Alpha Numeric Values

Hi
IS it supported in GL code combinations to have a alpha numeric values in key segment values .. we have a project segment in our chart of accounts and need the aplpha numeric values eg PRT001 , ADT001 etc . We do have some customizations and wondering if code combinations would have any impact
