Formatting issue(dollar value) within an ITEM

So I'm trying to display a monetary value in an item.
SELECT to_char(SUM(TXN_AMT),'$9,999') from CMS_COST_TRACKING where UPPER(TXN_NODE)='VMAX'this results in ######### in the item
If I remove the to_char formatting then the SUM displays correctly.
Is this a restriction of some kind.
The item is a display only.

SELECT to_char(SUM(TXN_AMT),'$9,999') from CMS_COST_TRACKING where UPPER(TXN_NODE)='VMAX'this results in ######### in the item That's because your actual sum value has more than 4 digits and your formatting can only handle 4 i.e. 9,999
Try increasing the formatting
to_char(SUM(TXN_AMT),'$9,99999999')

IDOC posting error with dollar values

Hello,
We have recently started posting general ledger transactions via IDOC. We just noticed that a few of the idocs reflect a status 53 however did not create postings. When drilling into the message, it says that there were not valid line items. (meaning lines with 0 dollar value). However all of the records had valid dollar values. I have found a few notes that adress this as an issue in 46B, however we are on 4.7 and all of the suggested code fixes have been implemented already. Has anyone seen this happen?

1. Please check that the process code in the inbound partner profile is correct.
2. If this is the case, you should check the ALE inbound methods ALE inbound methods for the process code and see whether the specified function module and application object type are correct.
3. If this is also the case, then the function module and the application object type are not permitted for the logical message type, message variant, message function and basis type that are contained in the IDoc control record. You should check whether the correct values have been assigned to these fields in the control record. If they do have the correct values, then the assignment to the function module and the application object type needs to be maintained.

Focus after Setting a Form Value within the Validate Event ( =8.8)

Hi
Setting Values within Validate Event sets Focus incorrectly on SAP >= 8.8
The following example works fine on SAP 2007.
Why i don't like this behaviour
-I didn't found an easy workaround to fix it
-SetMatrixCellWithoutValidation has the right behaviour but only works with Userdefined - Columns
-It's a quite common usecase to validate something and in the same step set some values after successful validating (or cancel the input by using BubbleEvent = False)
-It just worked for 6 years now
-I have developed around 20+ AddOns and i'm running into this Regression Issue more and more.
But maybe i'm just missing something.
So how would you solve the following code now with Versions >= 8.8 ?
Thanks for any enlightment!
private void SBO_Application_ItemEvent(string FormUID, ref SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent pVal, out bool BubbleEvent)

How to refresh page after selecting value from LOV item , in a tabular form

Hi ,
I have a tabular form, which contains 2 items(columns), of type "Select List - named LoV".
Now, couple of issues here.
1.
2nd item(column) in tabular form, that LoV should get populated based user's selection value in first item LoV. So how do i refer to the value, that user selected in first item's LoV? I will have to use this reference in LoV query of my 2nd item ( on this tabular form)
2.
How can we refresh the page, when user selectes value in first item ( from LoV). As this is a tabular form, here item type is Select List, we dont have an option to pick item type as Select List with Submit. So problem is that when user selects value for item 1, refresh does not happen and item 2 LoV does not get populated as per user's selection in item 1.
Please help here. Would be really appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Rave.

Thanks Ben and Dan for your responses.
Ben, your solution helped me with refresh of page, as page got submitted.
This answers to my 2nd question. However, I still need to know first question, which basically is, how do i refer to the value, that user selected in first item LoV.
Issue is, I selected the value in first item LoV, it got submitted and page fot refreshed. But after page refresh, first item LoV loses its value that I had selected last time. It does not retain the selected value after refresh.
I have an unconditional process, that on every submit(refresh) of page, I set my items with their corresponding values. But problem is what do i mention there to refer to this item.
I looked in view source of my page, this item is referred as f03.
So i used "apex_application.g_f03", to set this item to its value, in my uncoditional submit process. But it did not work. I tried to refer this item as "f03" in this unconditional submit process. But still it did not help, the selected item loses its value after page refresh(submit).
Any help here would be really appreciated. Please suggest how do we refer to this item's selected value.
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi.

How to get a value from one item into another

How can i get value from one item into another item.
Ex: I have a report, in there i have check boxes, and when i have checked some rows, and press submitt, a prosses computates it into a item on another page, and a branche redirects to page 3. Then i'm going to use the value in the item into a PL/SQL script in an report to show the submittet items.
How can i do this?
Computation script, pages and all that is fixed. But i dont know which PL/SQL statement to use to get th value from the item.

Hi Fredr1k,
Use the V() function from pl/sql.
e.g. V('P3_MY_ITEM')
will return the value of that page item.
As long as the pl/sql is called from within the Apex environment.
Regards
Michael

FCP and Motion formatting issues with DVCPro 50?

The material is DVCPro 50 NTSC 48khtz. (Item properties indicate that I initially digitized it properly.) My sequence settings are DV50 NTSC 48khtz.
I wanted to create a vignette effect so I exported my clips as a Quicktime (current settings) sequence to Motion. When I was done there I exported the sequence from Motion back to FCP as a DV NTSC movie.
Some of the Motion effected clips will play, look great and then all the sudden I see a black band appear on the East side of the frame. I can stretch it in Motion some but it just degrades the image so I'd rather not.
I'm surely grateful if someone can steer me in the right direction here.

Thanks for the workflow tips and suggestions. I backtracked to my original sequence and found the problem originates there. I have narrow black lines on both sides of all these clips. Since I resized a few clips with moves, I didn't recognize the problem. Now that I'm closer the root of it, any suggestions?
By the way, these problematic clips are intercut with no problem library footage that was also shot on DVCPro 50 and I took in on the same deck.
I cruised the forum for any occurence of a similiar issue and most replies seem to suggest a formatting issue. I don't get it since I think I have everything set up correctly. As a precaution, I also tossed out my preferences using FCP Rescue 5.
Welcome to the discussions, splotch.
Not sure what is causing this, but I might propose an
alternate workflow. Have your clips on the timeline
as you wish, ctrl/right click on them and select
Send To Motion.... Click the
embedded and open Motion ticks, give it a name, then
continue. Do your work in Motion, save, quit, and
fall back into FCP. Your clips may lose their
"anamorphicness" on their round trip, but just
ctrl/right click on the clip and select Item Properties/Format..., then
click on the anamorphic button.
Try this and see if you are still getting the same
problem...

Reports exported to Excel - Formatting issues

We have two Business Objects Enterprise servers (boxi r2 and boxi r3.1 sp3) running side by side. We find that reports created using boxi r2 and exported to Excel format look fine. When we run the same report and export to excel using boxi r3.1 sp3, we encounter the following formatting issues:
<ol>
<li>All columns do not fit on pages. The last 2 to 3 columns spill over onto extra pages.</li>
<li>There are some columns where most of the values are blank, but when a row is exported that has a value in that column, all subsequent column positions for that row shift.</li>
<li>All rows do not fit on page. The last two rows flow onto a new page, then there seems to be a page break.</li>
<li>On some reports dates are displayed as ######.</li>
<li>On some reports column headings are not centered.</li>
<li>I would appreciate any input that would help us determine a fix for the formatting issues we are encountering.</li>
</ol>
The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.
Here is the code from the application that does the export:

                            exportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                            DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                            diskOptions.DiskFileName = filename + ".xls";;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOptions;
                            ExcelFormatOptions XLOptions = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                            XLOptions.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                            XLOptions.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = XLOptions;
                            rptDoc.Export(exportOptions);

Can you pls explain?

Cannot set the default value of an item in the detailed table

Hi,
I have Master-Detail group, both are Table formats.
I need to set the default value of an item in the details row to the value of an item in the selected row in the Master table.
I tried Default Display Value=#{row.MasterItem}, but it seems it is trying to access current details row instead of the Master.
I tried #{bindings.MasterGroupColumnName.inputValue}, but it does not work.
Any ideas
Thanks in advance
Mohamed

I think I now what I'm doing differently, I had the "New Rows" JHS property of the detailed table group "empty" instead of the default "2" value.
It seems that "Default Display Value" expression works only for the new records specified in the "New Rows" property. But when I try to "Add" new record using the "Add Row" button, the new record inserted does not have the default values generated, only has values populated for the items of the FK (in the view link) but not the ones set through the property.
I guess in a nutshell, how I can get the details item to behave like the FK columns?
Thanks much
Mohamed

Formatting Issue When Switch to Computer Display

When I unplug it from my MacBook Pro the windows and documents are way too big when transferred to my laptop display. Is there any way to fix this? I didn't have this issue with my old non-Apple monitor.

Hi Joemon,
What patch level are you using for CR2008? With SP3 there were a number of fixes for design\formatting issues, so I would recommend use of a current patch level.
Also can you test with different viewers - is the issue specific to the CR2008 Viewer?
I did find an open Enhancement Request (ER) ADAPT01458705, and wonder if it may be a related issue:
Current Functionality:
When a Crystal Report is uploaded to the (XI R1, R2, R3) enterprise, if the report contains fields with data entries that exceed the field length, the data will overrun, vice truncating as it does in the Crystal Reports application. If selecting the HTML preview,
this should also show the data field overrun before publishing. The known workarounds documented for this are to either format the fields in question to "can grow" and limit the number of lines to 1, or create a registry key TruncateClippedFieldStrings and set the value to Yes.
Requested Functionality:
Since the customer does not have any scenarios in which it would be desirable to have the data truncate in the designer, yet overrun in the published report, they request that the TruncateClippedFieldStrings key be included in the install and be set to Yes as a default.
Ultimately if it's something that you can easily reproduce it might be a good idea to pursue this with SAP Support, it could be a bug.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

Update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow

Hi,
We have a requirement to update a column value once the item has been approved.
Following settings have been made in the publishing articles list:
Require content approval for submitted items : yes
Create major and minor (draft) versions
Who should see draft items in this document library? :Only users who can edit items
Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? : yes
I have createdatu a Sharepoint 2013 workflow to check if Approval sts of current item = 0 i.e. Approved , then check out and update the item and finally checkin the item. Everything works fine till this point except that the minor version of the item is
checked in. Due to this the updated columns are not published to others.
Also, I created a Sharepoint 2010 workflow to SET CONTENT APPROVAL = APPROVED and started this workflow from my list workflow above, but the item does not get checked-in and always shows "In Progress" status with comment "The item is currently
locked for editing. Waiting for item to be checked in or for the lock to be released.".
Please let me know where I am missing out so that once the item is approved, column value gets updated and current item is still in Approved status.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow.
You will get into this kind of Catch-22 situation trying to set the Content Approval Status in SharePoint Designer workflow:
- You must check out the document before you can change the Content Approval Status
- You can't change the Content Approval Status once the document in checked out
Since you set the Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited=Yes, you will need to check out the document when run the workflow on the item. But you cannot approve a document when it is checked
out. So the logic in workflow conflicts.
As a workaround, you can use the Start Another Workflow action to start the normal Approval workflow on the document. The built-in Approval workflow can work with a document that’s not checked out.
The designer approval workflow also can work with a document that’s not checked out.
You can create two workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013.
First, create a SharePoint 2010 platform workflow.
Then, create a SharePoint 2013 platform workflow.
Then when the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow start, it will start the SharePoint 2010 platform workflow to set content approval status, then the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow will update current item value.

End of year as default value in date item [SOLVED]

Hi
I'd like the last day of the current year (i.e. 31.12.2008) to be the default value of an item (in Forms 6i) (Format dd.mm.rrrr).
The default value in the database is
TO_DATE('31.12.'||TO_CHAR(sysdate,'yyyy')) and there it works fine.
In Forms I have a WHEN-CREATE-RECORD Trigger with:
my_item := TO_DATE('31.12.'||TO_CHAR(sysdate,'yyyy'));
(generated from Designer)
However, whatwever I write there I always get some "crap" in the form, most of the time 20.12.0031.
I can see that it has something to do with the language settings, but don't know where to make some changes.
Can anybody help my on this, I am aware, trivial matter.
Thanks
Karine

Migration from crystal reports 8 to 11 - Formatting Issue(Criticial)

Post Author: DJ Gaba
CA Forum: General
I have migrated my crystal report version from version 8 to version 11 (evaluation version) but I am seeing some formattiong issue
My entire report data has moved little bit toward right so my rightmost line (table) wraps up in next page and hence leaving every second page blank.
is it that I am using evaluation version that is casuing problme. Report is opening up properly but it's the formatting issues
Or it's something else
Let me know
DJ

Well I will definately try that. Currenlty I am in process of downloading licensed version to observe the behaviour
But just looking at font sizes in both pdf's (version 8 and 11), it seems that font sizes are same in both pdfs. But I will confirm that once I open the crystal report 11 designer
Probably you can send me your e-mail ID so that I can send you both pdf's
I am also planning to compare property/obect values in crystal report 11 designer to see if anything else got changed that needs to be reverted as it was in crystal report 8.
Thanks

Before Header pl/sql process to assign values to page items

How can i assign values to items on a page based on the data structure returned from a pl/sql procedure within the before header process? I am thinking of executing a pl/sql procedure based on a URL parameter value and then assign values to page items. Is this really possible using Apex 4.0.2? If yes, how can it be done?
thanks
Seetharaman

The question isn't really clear. What kind of "data structure returned from a pl/sql procedure"? Please be much more specific.
For a PL/SQL data structure such as record containing 2 elements (<tt>x</tt> and <tt>y</tt>) returned as an out parameter from a procedure to be assigned to 2 page items <tt>p1_x</tt> and <tt>p1_y</tt>, all that's required in the Before Header process is something like
declare
l_rec rec_type;
begin
the_proc(..., p_out => l_rec, ...);
:p1_x := l_rec.x;
:p1_y := l_rec.y;
end;
