Formatting a date that is inserted into a text object

The on-line documentation for inserting a date into a form letter instructs a user to insert a Print Date into a text object. To format the date, the user is instructed to double-click on the date object and then right click and select Format {Print Date} from the menu.
This works when using Crystal Reports 2008 without any service packs.
However, after installing SP1, this feature no longer works. The Format {Print Date} is grayed out and not available for selection.
I am using VISTA Enterprise.
Are there any reasonable reasons why this functionality was removed with SP1.

You have a brilliant work around. Thanks!
However, it is still a work around.
I hope someone within the Crystal Reports organization sees this post and either provides an explaination as to why SP1 does not allow you to directly edit a field or that someone realizes that this is a bug and starts the process of providing a fix.
By the way, I duplicated the problem on both VISTA and XP machines.

File to RFC problem- data is not inserting into ztable in R3 system

Hi
i have done File to RFC scenario which picks data from flat file and inserts into ztable via RFC in R3. but while testing my scenario everything is successful in XI monitoring (Successful flag in MONI and RWB) and in auditlog message status is DLVD.
it seems to be everything successful in XI and RFC call also successful in R3 system.
but for some reason data is not inserting into table (RFC is used to insert data into ztable)
Is there any way to debug RFC call excecution in XI..?
RFC code is like this:
insert ZMM_AUTO_GR from INPUT_TABLE.
commit work.
END FUNCTION.
please advice what could be the reason not inserting into table.
Help would be appreciated.

Rajesh

The Tilda character inserts into my text without keyboard input. Or any input. Has anyone seen this?

When I have an AI file open and in the text mode. The Tilda character "~" is inserted into the text string every few minutes. I can go away and when I come back there will be 20 "~" all in a row. Is there any cure?

tci,
You may try the list, unless there is something wrong with the Tilde key (hanging or something).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Table created.

insert into A (created_by) values('3/30/2006 2:43:44 AM')
ERROR at line 1:

How to check if data is being inserted into table?

Oracle 10.2.0.1.0
I have a long running transaction, an insert based on select running from SQLPLUS. It is running for more than 2 hours as the volume of data is extremely high ( more than 2 million records ).
How do I check:
1) The volume of data that is already inserted?.
This is to make sure the session is not "hung", but is actually inserting records into the table.
Thanks

I have a long running transaction, an insert based on select running from SQLPLUS. It is running for more than 2 hours as the volume of data is extremely high ( more than 2 million records ).
How do I check:
1) The volume of data that is already inserted?.If there is a commit statement then you can directly query the table for number of rows inserted.
This is to make sure the session is not "hung", but is actually inserting records into the table.To confirm if it is running or not you can query dba view like dba_extents for that objects you can look into bytes or blocks which should increase if you query is running.
Hope this helps

Data is not inserted into database through OA-Page

Hi all,
I developed a region to store supplier additional information.In that region i'm able to enter data into fields and data is sucessfully stored into custom table.But when I embedded that region with Supplier-Address Book page(in R12) page through Personalization i'm facing a problem with inserting data into custom table.i.e After I entered data the data is not goes to custom table and the fields which are filled by data are also not cleared.
Could anyone please help me..
Thanks in Advance
Edited by: user9970067 on Oct 13, 2009 12:15 PM

Hi Nilesh,
First I just created region in Jdeveloper and ran it from jdeveloper then it's working fine.After this I added custom region in seeded xml page file and then ran page from Jdeveloper,then the data is not saved into custom table.
Steps I followed:
1. I created an EO(oracle/apps/pos/supplier/server)
2.Created VO based on above EO(oracle/apps/pos/supplier/server)
3.Created AM based on VO(oracle/apps/pos/supplier/server)
4.Created one Region based on this view instance.(oracle/apps/pos/supplier/webui)
5.Created one CO for the above region.( compiled and ran this standalone region then it's working fine)
6.Now I embedded the above region with the page which is located in oracle/apps/fnd/ framework/toolbox/tutorial/webui/SupplierSearchPG.xml through personalization.
When I entered into customized region the "save " button in my region is not highlighted.only "GO" button in SupplierSearch is highlighted.when I click on "save" button in my custom region it's not calling the controller.
could you please give me any solution for this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Sharath,
Thanks alot for the info, it seems that data had not been entered for certain employees in that form and hence the problem.
Even then, I guess it will be a day or 2 before they will be able to see their in/out timings.

How do I get "#" round dates in an "Insert into " query

I am trying to use the "Insert Into" type "CFQUERY" and insert a date into a field.This date has been input by the user on a web form using the syntax "<input type="text" name="DateInTheatres"...>
The query is
<CFQuery datasource="blah">
Insert into Films(<other fields>,DateInTheatres)
values(<other fields>,#CreateODBCDate(Form.DateInTheatres)#)
</CFQuery>
The above code does not seem to work because the "#" are not automatically put to the left & right of the date so when the sql resolves you get 12/10/2009 (for example) no quotes, nothing.
How can I fix this?
many thanks
Paul

Try something like this:
<cfquery name="someName" datasource="someDatasource">
INSERT INTO Films
(SomeField, DateInTheatres)
VALUES
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#FORM.SomeField#">,
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" value="#FORM.DateInTheatres#">
</cfquery>

How to change the format of date that i am displaying in a table

Hi everyone,
I have a table in my jsp page that display records from a table and want to format a field that is the date to "dd-MMM-yyyy"...
How can i do that please help me.
I am using EJB 3.0

Hi Lutchumaya,
If it's only for display in a table, you can use <f:convertDateTime>.
For example:
<af:column sortable="false">
<af:outputText value="#{row.DateEnd}">
<f:convertDateTime pattern="#{SystemState.dateFormat}"/>
</af:outputText>
</af:column>
And the dateFormat is being set in a backingbean.
public String setDateFormat() {
return "dd-MMM-yyyy";
I hope this helps.

Can someone help me what trigger i have to use and how?.

How insert into another entity object

Hi ,
i hope find the solution for this case
i am using jdeveloper 11.2
and i have two entity object based on two table as follow
1 - DocTransaction entity
Attributes ( id , createdOn, createdBy ,modifiedOn,modifiedBy , docStatus-- default = 1-- , EmpId )
2- transHistory entity
Attributes ( id , transId--FK-- , Transdate, TransBy ,ToEmp , docStatus , docAction )
when inserting row in DocTrasaction it will insert row in transHistory and when update docStatus in DocTransaction it will insert row with updated status in transHistory and so on ( every DML in first entity ocure will insert it in first entity )
the problem is when docStatus updated after 7 days from creation with value (2 or 5 ) i want the row inserted in second entity with docStatus = 3 not ( 2 or 5 )
and if docStatus in first entity not updated within 7 days then automatically change its status to 3
my incomplete code in DocTrasactionImpl as follow
*protected void doDML(int operation, TransactionEvent e) {*
super.doDML(operation, e);
*if (operation == DML_INSERT) {*
EntityDefImpl secDef = TranshistoryImpl.getDefinitionObject();
TranshistoryImpl insert = (TranshistoryImpl)secDef.createInstance2(getDBTransaction(), null);
insert.setTransId(this.getId().getSequenceNumber());
insert.setTransBy(this.getCreatedBy());
insert.setToEmp(this.getEmpId());
insert.setDocStatus(this.getDocStatus());
insert.setTransStatus(new Number(1)); // transaction still open
*if (operation == DML_UPDATE) {*
*// insert into history when update the status by user to 2 or 5 before 7 days from created the task*
Date today = new Date();
Long dateDiff =(today.dateValue().getTime())-(getCreatedOn().dateValue().getTime());
Boolean checkBefore=( (this.getDocStatus().intValue() == 2 && dateDiff <=7 )||( this.getDocStatus().intValue() == 5 && dateDiff<=7)) ; // change status before 7 days
Boolean checkAfter=( (this.getDocStatus().intValue() == 2 && dateDiff > 7 )||( this.getDocStatus().intValue() == 5 && dateDiff > 7)); // change status after 7 days
if ( checkBefore ) // update by user
EntityDefImpl secDef = TranshistoryImpl.getDefinitionObject();
TranshistoryImpl insert = (TranshistoryImpl)secDef.createInstance2(getDBTransaction(), null);
insert.setTransId(this.getId().getSequenceNumber());
insert.setTransBy(this.getModifiedBy());
insert.setToEmp(this.getEmpId());
insert.setDocStatus(this.getDocStatus());
insert.setTransStatus(new Number(2)); //close transaction
else if (checkAfter ) // update by user
EntityDefImpl secDef = TranshistoryImpl.getDefinitionObject();
TranshistoryImpl insert = (TranshistoryImpl)secDef.createInstance2(getDBTransaction(), null);
insert.setTransId(this.getId().getSequenceNumber());
insert.setTransBy(this.getModifiedBy());
insert.setToEmp(this.getEmpId());
insert.setDocStatus(new Number(3));//رد متأخر
insert.setTransStatus(new Number(2));// close transaction
this code not working will and also how can i update the docStatus automatic after 7 days from value 1 to 3
thank you
}

What is not working, your logic when to create/update or new EO rows itself are not getting updated or created ?
