can anyone forward me to any to useful web sites (tutorials)?
thanks

you can use a query string to append illegal variables.

Trying to move a list of form variables to session variables of the same name

I am trying to move a list of form variables to session variables of the same name and I am having a lot of trouble.
I have never had to post of this forum with a language question in all the 10 years I have been using ColdFusion. I was a qa Engineer @ Allaire/Macromedia back when it was going from one to the other. I have a pretty good grasp of the language.
I have software that runs off a list. The fieldnames are variable and stored off in an array. It's survey software that runs off a "meta file". In this example; I have the number of fields in the survey set to 12 in the "metafile". I have each field declared in that file in array Session.SurveyField[1] and the above loop works fine. I include this "metafile" at the start of the process.
I cfloop around a struct and it works wherever I have needed to use it; such as here - writing to the database for example;
<CFQUERY NAME="InsertRec" DATASOURCE="Survey">
INSERT into #variables.SurveyTableName#
(EntryTime
<cfloop from="1" to="#Session.NumberOfSurveyFields#" index="arrayindex">
,#Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]#
</cfloop>

   VALUES
    ('#EntryTime#'
<cfloop from="1" to="#Session.NumberOfSurveyFields#" index="arrayindex">
<cfset thisname = "Session." & Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]>
,'#evaluate(variables.thisname)#'
</cfloop>

</CFQUERY>
NOW HERE'S THE PROBLEM: I am running into trouble when trying to move the form variables to session variables of the same name. It is the only part of the software that I still need the datanames hard coded and that is a roadblock for me.
<cfloop from="1" to="#Session.NumberOfSurveyFields#" index="arrayindex">
<cfset thissessionfield = "Session." & Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]>
<cfset thisformfield = "Form." & Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]>
<cfset #thissessionfield# = #evaluate(thisformfield)#>
</cfloop>
I have tried it with or without the "evaluate"; same result. It doesn't give an error; it just ignores them (session variables look as such in the next page in the chain)
q01_name=
q02_acadtechorna=
q03_water=
q04_firstaid=
q05_cpr=
q06_lifeguard=
q07_aed=
q08_projadv=
q09_color=
q10_santaclaus=
q11_supervisor=
q12_supervisoropinion=
Note: they exist because I CFPARAM them in a loop like the above at the start of the procedure) - and this works just fine!
<cflock scope="Session" type="EXCLUSIVE" timeout="30">
<cfloop from="1" to="#Session.NumberOfSurveyFields#" index="arrayindex">
<cfset dataname = "Session." & Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]>
<cfparam name="#variables.dataname#" default="">
</cfloop>
</cflock>
I EVEN tried exploiting the Form.Fieldnames list using CFLoop over the list and the same sort of logic within and it still gives me nothing....
Here's the FORM.FIELDNAMES value
"Q01_NAME,Q02_ACADTECHORNA,Q03_WATER,Q04_FIRSTAID,Q05_CPR,Q06_LIFEGUARD,Q07_AED,Q08_PROJAD V,Q09_COLOR,
Q10_SANTACLAUS,Q11_SUPERVISOR,Q12_SUPERVISOROPINION"
Here's the logic; SAME RESULT - The session variables don't get set.
<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#Form.FieldNames#" index="thisfield">

<cfscript>
thisSESSIONfield = "Session." & thisfield;
thisFORMfield = "Form." & thisfield;
#thisSESSIONfield# = #thisFORMfield#;
</cfscript>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
The CFPARAM in a loop with variable output name works just fine; so does the post (which I included above) as does the SQL Create, Param Form Variables, Param Session Variables, etc.
THIS even works for moving BLANK to each session variable, to zero them all out at the end of the process;
<cflock scope="Session" type="EXCLUSIVE" timeout="30">
<cfloop from="1" to="#Session.NumberOfSurveyFields#" index="arrayindex">
<cfset thislocalfield = Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]>
<cfscript>
thissessionfield = "Session." & thislocalfield;
</cfscript>
<cfset #thissessionfield# = "">
</cfloop>
</cflock>
Expanding on that code, you would think this would work, but it doesn't;
<cfloop from="1" to="#Session.NumberOfSurveyFields#" index="arrayindex">
<cfset thislocalfield = Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]>
<cfscript>
thissessionfield = "Session." & thislocalfield;
thisformfield = "Form." & thislocalfield;
</cfscript>


<cfoutput>
<cfset #thissessionfield# = "#evaluate(thisformfield)#">
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
And see that debug code in the middle? To add insult to injury... When I uncomment that it shows me this. So it certainly looks like this should work....
Session.q01_name = "Me"
Session.q02_AcadTechORNA = "N/A"
Session.q03_Water = "Yes (certificate expired)"
Session.q04_FirstAid = "Yes (certificate is current)"
Session.q05_CPR = "No"
Session.q06_LifeGuard = "Yes (certificate expired)"
Session.q07_AED = "Yes (certificate expired)"
Session.q08_ProjAdv = "Yes (certificate expired)"
Session.q09_Color = "Gray"
Session.q10_SantaClaus = "Yes"
Session.q11_Supervisor = "Da Boss"
Session.q12_SupervisorOpinion = "Not a bad thing"
There must be some simpler way to do this. This way won't work against all odds even though it seems so much like it should.
So I end up having to hardcode it; still looking for an automated way to set these #@%$*@!## session variables over the list from the form variables of the same @#@!$#%$%# name. Do I sound frustrated???
No matter what I do, if I don't HARDCODE like this;
<cfset Session.q01_name = Form.q01_name>
<cfset Session.q02_AcadTechORNA = Form.q02_AcadTechORNA>
<cfset Session.q03_Water = Form.q03_Water>
<cfset Session.q04_FirstAid = Form.q04_FirstAid>
<cfset Session.q05_CPR = Form.q05_CPR>
<cfset Session.q06_LifeGuard = Form.q06_LifeGuard>
<cfset Session.q07_AED = Form.q07_AED>
<cfset Session.q08_ProjAdv = Form.q08_ProjAdv>
<cfset Session.q09_Color = Form.q09_Color>
<cfset Session.q10_SantaClaus = Form.q10_SantaClaus>
<cfset Session.q11_Supervisor = Form.q11_Supervisor>
<cfset Session.q12_SupervisorOpinion = Form.q12_SupervisorOpinion>
I always get this from my next page because the session variables are empty;

You must answer question 4.
You must answer question 5.
You must answer question 6.

I tried duplicate as well, but I can not get the above to work...
Can anyone help me do this thing that one would think is simple????

I think if you use structure array syntax you should get the results you want.
<cfloop from="1" to="#Session.NumberOfSurveyFields#" index="arrayindex">
      <cfset session[Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]] = Form[Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]]>
</cfloop>
Or probably even easier.
<cfset session = duplicate(form)>

How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

Hi,
I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
<form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
     <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
     <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
          <option value="1">username1</option>
          <option value="2">username2</option>
          <option value="3">username3</option>
          <option value="4">username4</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
     <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
</form>
Could somebody help me please?
Thanks.

I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Test Page</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               function userID(){
                    //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                    var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                    window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <form id="form1">
               <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                    <option>Select a User</option>
                    <option value="1">User 1</option>
                    <option value="2">User 2</option>
                    <option value="3">User 3</option>
                    <option value="4">User 4</option>
               </select>
          </form>
     </body>
</html>
//PAGE TO RETRIEVE THE USERNAME
<?php
if(isset($_GET['userID'])
     $userID = $_GET['userID'];
     echo $userID;
     die;

I'm attempting to add a form variable binding to a PHP document, but after each time I open the menu, type in my name and press OK, it does not show up in my Bindings box.
and then POOF:
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Or what I haven't done yet?
I haven't had a problem with the entire tutorial up until this point and I couldn't find any documentation anywhere else on how to fix my problem.

Using Form Variables in a Formatted Search

Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to SAP B1 and just trying to get some info. I have created a few formatted searches, but I am having trouble with this one in particular.
I am trying to get the 'Business Partner Type' Field under Business Partner Master Data (BP Type, [Form=134 Item=40 Pane=0 Variable=1 OCRD,CardType] to change the user defined fields category displayed [Form=-134 Item=9 Pane=0 Variable=62]
For example, when CardType is Vendor ('S' value), I'd like the user defined fields category 'vendor'( '1' value) to show
Here is my query
SELECT CASE
WHEN $[$40.0.1]='S' THEN '0'
ELSE WHEN $[$40.0.1]='C' THEN '1' END
Which is then assigned as a formatted search to that field.
I was trying to find some sort of definitive guide on form variables and formatted search queries; if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it (I have seen the $[$x.y.z] variables but I am not 100% sure on their usage).
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Try this:
SELECT CASE $[OCRD.CardType\]
WHEN 'S' THEN '0'
WHEN 'C' THEN '1'
END
Please also response for your previous open thread. You may just close it if you do not like the answer.
Thanks,

How to pass a form variable from page to page

I have a series of 4 forms on 4 pages that update a database.
A variable from one of the forms (doesn't matter which one, if it's
easier one way over another, let's go that way) is passed to the
last page, where a PayPal button will appear based on the value of
the form variable. I am using ASP javascript and an Access
database.
Thanks.

Either store the variable in a hidden field in the
intermediate forms,
or use a session variable.

CF Set form.variable for query and Next/Previous pages error

I have a CF form with a select that posts to a CF "action" page.
On the action page I: CFSET ItemNumber=#form.ItemNumber#
I CFOUTPUT the 'ItemNumber' into the CFQUERY (which is an Inner Join dependant on the '#ItemNumber#')...
All of the above works just fine and displays the database fields in color alternating rows, per the rest of the code.
Here's the problem:
I'm displaying 40 rows on a page per "Next and Previous" code. (CFPARAM name="start" default="1" and CFPARAM name="disp" default="40" along with the rest of the NextN code in the header and body). This does display 40 rows on the page and puts a link at the bottom of the page "Next 40 Rows", etc.
Note: I'm only querying the database once and using the query (query name="data") to populate the table rows And the NextN code (CFOUTPUT name="data") And (CFIF start + disp GREATER THAN data.RecordCount, etc)...
The problem happens when you click the "Next 40 Rows" link to display the 2nd page of rows. Since (I'm assuming) this NextN code is 're-reading' the same page from top to bottom, an error is thrown when the code tries to read the CFSET ItemNumber=#form.ItemNumber# at the top of the page.
With the #form.ItemNumber# on this action page Originally coming from the previous posting of the form to this action page, when the "Next 40 Rows" link is clicked and the NextN code re-reads this action page - the CFSET ItemNumber (#form.ItemNumber) is not getting populated and throws the error...
I hope I've not made this sound confusing.
I can get the NextN code to work when I'm just querying the database without "flying in" a form variable. But when I CFSET a variable (#form.ItemNumber#) that is inserted into the query, the second page of the NextN throws an error and doesn't display.
I would include the page code here but it would be fairly lengthy and, as well, the NextN code is a 'standard' CF code -- I've narrowed the problem down to the above "Element is undefined" (when the page tries to reload from the "Next 40 Rows" link) and am hoping there's a simple fix or another way to display the records in Next and Previous pages.
Thanks to anyone in advance for shedding light on this.
- e

Thank you for the reply, Owain.
Yes - The Next/Previous at the bottom of the page are hyperlinks.
<a href="ThisPage.cfm?start=#Evaluate("start + disp")#">
The following is at the top of the page (and is the variable from the form that I CFOUTPUT in the query):
<cfparam name="ItemNumberDropdown01" default="">
<cfset ItemNumber = #form.ItemNumberDropdown01#>
The error report showed that the "Next Page" hyperlink was reading an undefined variable... although when the "action page" first opens from the form posting to it, it populates the CFSET just fine (per the cfparam and cfset above)... As you mention, the hyperlink clearing the form scope is what causes the error in trying to display the next set of records...
The form page and the 'action page' are both secure pages with an application page setting the session, etc. Am I at risk in using an URL scope?
Where would this URL scope be put? (The href is shown above - would the URL scope go in this? - How would this be written?)
The CFPARAM and CFSET would still exist at the top of the 'action page' and still throw an error wouldn't it or would this be replaced with something else to read the form.variable for this 'first' action page to be displayed?
Thanks again for the 'education' on this...

How to pass Applet form variables without showing it on top ?

I am running one applet with some form variables. After submit I want to pass those to .asp file to store into database.
If I use URL method then all are getting displayed on URL location of browser which I do not want. I want to pass many form variables to another .asp file, so it may not be good also.
What is the best way of doing it ? Need urgent help about it.

Well If you create a POST request instead as a GET request the variables will not show up in the URL.
On tips how to do that you can either check out this thread:

JavaScript and "pdk-html:form" Variables

I am having a problem using javaScript with my "pdk-html:form" variables.
Here is what the .jsp looks like:
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>
     function test() {
          alert("act = "+window.document.facListBean.act.value);
</SCRIPT>
<pdk-html:form name="facListBean" .......>
     <pdk-html:text property="act" />
</pdk-html:form>
The problem is that when the HTML is rendered the name of the form field "act" gets translated to "_piref584_1533941_584_1533923_1533923.act"
Is there a simple way to handle this problem? Can someone suggest a workaround?
Thanks,

hi Matt,
i've faced the same problem. The only solution i've found was that:
cicle your form and get all the elements in it.
var field1;
var x=document.getElementById("myForm");
for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++) {
if(x.elements.name.indexOf('field1')) field1 = x.elements[i];

CAN I PASS FORM VARIABLES TO THE DATABASE PROCEDURE IN PERSONALIZATION

When I try to use form variable in the database procedure call from personalization I get the attached error.
Under forms personalization
From Actions tab --> builtin --> Execute Procedure when I call a database procedure and pass one of the form variable as parameter I get "ora-01008 couldn't be validate" error
Can we pass on form variables to the database package using personalization ? If yes, then is this the right way?

I tried customizing the Quoting Form, it works.
What you have done is correct, but this is how you call it
='begin
db_proc('''||${item.qothddet_main.quote_name.value}||''');
end'
here
qothddet_main : block name
quote_name : item name

From Clause query with form variables

forms 9.0.4 rdbms 9.2
Is it possible to create a From Clause query with form variables generated from another block (but in the same form)? I am not having any success.
I searched Metalink. It appears that according to DOC ID # 69884.1, in Forms 6i, this is not possible. Metalink suggest in DOC ID 104771.1 implementating a dynamic From Clause, but when I duplicate the example on my system, I receive an Oracle error. Further investigation from the web form (DISPLAY ERROR) indicates that the system does not see the dynamic value.
Has anyone else run into this error? Has this been fixed in forms 9.0.4 and I am just missing something? Does a dynamic from clause query work? Can anyone point me to an example or post an example or offer any advise.
thanks in advance

As far as I know it is not possible to use block items in a from clause query in forms 9.0.4. Here is my solution for a From-Clause-Query via the 'Query-Data-Source-Name-Property':
To use the values of the block items in my from clause query I implemented a database package with getter and setter routines for the block item values I needed for the query.
In the Key-Exeqry-Trigger of the From-Clause-Query-Block I set the global package variables with values of the block-items I am interested in. In the From-Clause-Query I used the values in the where-clause via package functions which return the global package variables.
Hope my solution will work for your problem.

Here the value of my insert query. Thanks in advance

Perhaps I'm missing something, but haven't you
overcomplicated things?

Passing form variables in a single form

I am trying to make a form to select a starting and ending
month for a event search.
I have 2 list boxes populated with the months, but I want the
second box to begin from the first selection.
So if the user selects may in the first box, the second box
should list from may to december.
Is there any way to pass a form variable to another field
inside the same form?
I want to use a conditional <cfloop> to populate the
second box like <cfloop from= #variableA# to= 12>
then have the <options> inside the loop.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...this one has
me stumped!

You can do it with javascript. Google related selects, there
are lot's of examples out there.
What happens if the user selects December in the 1st
box?

Can a form variable hold a javascript complex object?

I have a method in a fragmentScript script object that creates a javascript object formatted like below:
customerObject
    name      [string]
    address [string]
    city        [string]
    state      [string]
    list of accounts    [array]
When the script is done executing, the subform containing the script gets hidden, and needs to pass the object to another subform which becomes visible.
Can I pass this object via a form variable (located under File-Form Properties, Variables tab)? That is, can a form variable contain a complex javascript object?
Thanks,
Elaine

Hey Bruce, I'm having a problem with the eval funtion returning a null, can you help me?

+ tempRetCust);       // the toSource method works great and the alert here returns proper data
var retCust = eval(tempRetCust.value);   if (retCust==null ) app.alert ("return cust is null");     // the eval doesn't seem to work and the retCust variable is null.
Thanks!
