Forms, Calculations and Percentages

I am using Acrobat XI Pro. I am trying to calculate some items for an order form. It will be the (Quantity * Unit Price)*(Discount*-1). The discount it a percentage. However, the form keeps turning the percentage from 20% to 2000%. Then when it does the calculation in the Savings field it comes out as a negative number in the hundreds. How would you do this type of thing? I have tried both simplified and custom script. Neither have worked. The TOTAL field will be (Quantity*UnitPrice)+(Savings)
So it should read across Quantity=2 UnitPrice=$50.00 Discount=20% and Savings=$10.00
Thank you in advance for any help
Ellen

Percentages are entered in as decimal values and the formatting of a field makes the adjustment of the decimal place and adding the "%" symbol. If you want to try and do the math yourself, you will be doing a non-standard operation and need to write more scripts and more debugging to handle your code.

Need help with a form calculation

I am trying to create a form in Acrobat that will support a calculation of percentages. I have the
following formula:
if (a1.value == "" || a1.value == "" && b1.value == "") {c1=0} else {b1/a1}
The percentage is not calculating and is remaining at 0% when numbers are entered on the form. I am trying to avoid the error messages we receive if we just enter the basic calculation in to the simplified (because some of the cells may have a value of 0).
Can anyone help?

Try this:
// Get the field values
var v1 = getField("a1").value;
var v2 = getField("b1").value;
//. Perform the calculation
if (v1) {
event.value = v2 / v1;
} else {
event.value = 0;
Edit: corrected typo

How to identify listeners types for forms, items and events in addon wizard

Dear users,
I have developed a sample addon through B1DE wizards and successfully installed and connected the addon and can view menu and form of my addon. Since i am new to this, i didn't add any listeners to my form, items and events because i don't know what type of listeners to add and what coding to add after adding listeners.
If anyone describe me how to work with listeners, i would be glad. My form has basic fields like BPcode, BPname, Docnum, Itemcode, Item name, quanity, price, total etc. Uptil now my addon form has no function of getting list of BP and Items and calculating the totals based on price and quantity but it has some basic functions like add, update,del, add print view, next record previous, record next etc. which are due to object registration and auto-code generation wizards i think.
Please help me in adding listeners and their relevant coding.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply, Actually I am asking about listeners in the wizard of B1DE, code generator wizard. I think you are telling me about adding listeners directly in the vb.net. Kindly, tell me first, what event type I should add for item, form etc while adding listeners during the wizard. Or If you know some link where event types of listeners are decribed, you are more than welcome.
Thanks,

Using oDBDataSource.SetValue for date, price and percentage type

Hi experts,
I need to set value to db datasource for date, price and percentage type, below my code:
oDBDataSource.SetValue("U_ItemPrc", offset, oDataTable.GetValue("U_ItemPrc", i))
oDBDataSource.SetValue("U_Discount", offset, oDataTable.GetValue("U_Discount", i))
oDBDataSource.SetValue("U_Data", offset, oDataTable.GetValue("U_Data", i))
            mt.Columns.Item("ItemPrc").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "U_ItemPrc")
            mt.Columns.Item("Discount").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "U_Discount")
            mt.Columns.Item("Data").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "U_Data")
            mt.LoadFromDataSource()
the column "U_ItemPrc" is a price with 5 decimals
the column "U_Discount" is a percentage with 2 decimals
the column "U_Data" is a date
I get the three matrix column blank!
How can I set value for these data type?
please help me.
Thanks
Best regards
Andrea

I modified the source code following your suggestion but i still have the same problem with db table field with decimal and date.
below the code:
Dim oDBDataSource As SAPbouiCOM.DBDataSource = form.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("@TC_LIS1")
            oDBDataSource.Clear()
            mt.Columns.Item("LineId").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "LineId")
            mt.Columns.Item("ItemCode").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "U_ItemCode")
            mt.Columns.Item("ItemName").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "U_ItemName")
            mt.Columns.Item("TipoList").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "U_TipoList")
            mt.Columns.Item("ItemPrc").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "U_ItemPrc")
            mt.Columns.Item("Discount").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "U_Discount")
            mt.Columns.Item("Data").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "U_Data")
            mt.Columns.Item("ItemDesc").DataBind.SetBound(True, "@TC_LIS1", "U_ItemDesc")
            For i As Integer = 0 To oDataTable.Rows.Count() - 1
                Dim offset As Integer = oDBDataSource.Size
                Dim prezzo As Double = oDataTable.GetValue("U_ItemPrc", i)
                Dim sconto As Double = oDataTable.GetValue("U_Discount", i)
                Dim data As Date = oDataTable.GetValue("U_Data", i)
                oDBDataSource.InsertRecord(i)
                oDBDataSource.SetValue("LineId", offset, oDataTable.GetValue("LineId", i))
                oDBDataSource.SetValue("U_ItemCode", offset, oDataTable.GetValue("U_ItemCode", i).ToString())
                oDBDataSource.SetValue("U_ItemName", offset, oDataTable.GetValue("U_ItemName", i).ToString())
                oDBDataSource.SetValue("U_TipoList", offset, oDataTable.GetValue("U_TipoList", i).ToString())
                oDBDataSource.SetValue("U_ItemPrc", offset, oDataTable.GetValue("U_ItemPrc", i))
                oDBDataSource.SetValue("U_Discount", offset, sconto)
                oDBDataSource.SetValue("U_Data", offset, data)
                oDBDataSource.SetValue("U_ItemDesc", offset, oDataTable.GetValue("U_ItemDesc", i).ToString())
            Next
            mt.LoadFromDataSource()
the prezzo variable store the correct value with decimal but executing the SetValue method I get the matrix column without decimal value.
the data variable store the correct value but executing the SetValue method I get the matrix column blank.
It seems the SetValue method works only for string field type.
What can i do?

FICA Rebate calculation and posting

Dear All,
When a bill is raised, the respective rebate amount is calculated and respective discount percentage(SKTPZ) field is updated.
So, when a payment is taken against the consumer the respective rebate is calculated and accordingly the amount is taken considering the amount without rebate amount before the due date.
But, we have configuration of FIFO method and clearing will be done based on due date. But if a consumer pay the partially before the due date, he is ant able to get the rebate(which he should defintely get).
I am just wondering if there will be anywhere the calcualtion is made which we can check at the time of amount posting.
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
Check event 0020 which enables additional action to be initiated where a document is posted in Contract Accounts Receivable, and open items are cleared at the same time (either fully or in part)
Thanks,
Amlan

Calculation of percentage

i am new to abap. how to calculate the percentage of some amount field. and i want to pass that value to smartform. how to do that, and how to conver amount to discription i mean i want to display 3000 as three thousand plz help me .

Hi,
If you want the calculated percentage to SmartForm then you have to create the structure and then pass that structure to the SmartForm Import parameters.
The logic for calculating the percentage remains the same as we have been doing so far in other Pro Languages.....

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.
Thanks,
Ganesh

Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Occasional ora-6502 using forms 6i and 10g

Hi all.
We have been experiencing some weird and unexpected ora-6502 errors in some of our forms 6i modules running against 10g (rel 1 or 2).
Forms modules are correctly functioning and for some reason, one day an ora-6502 error suddenly pops up.
Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.
I know that this may sound hard to believe, but it has happened several times. All we do is put some message built in, recompile all, and the error is gone (for a while).
So my questions are:
- Is this a known issue beween forms 6i and 10g Db?.
- Is there a patch on Metalink ( we use Forms [32 bits] Versión 6.0.8.26.0 (Producción))
- A workaround?
and most important
- Have anyone been exposed to a similar situation?
Regards, Luis ...!

Now the weirdest thing is that after you put some messages on the trigger, so you can track down where the error is coming from, it disappears.Sounds like the form has not been "clean compiled" against the server on which it is running. Try a "Compile All", which causes all previously compiled program units to be compiled fresh.
Or even better, clean out all the compiled code from your fmb before compiling the fmb on the server where it runs.
See this topic: Re: Why does this happen - find ';', replace with ';'?

Form 6i and 10g DB

i want to use Oracle text (context index) for searching and oracle text is the best way .. but not im using form 6i and DB 10g R 2. my question is is thier any problem i will face it later while doing my system using context index ?? for example i will use CTXddl package .. can i use it in form 6i or i cant ???
regards,

The first and most significant problem you are faced with is that Forms 6.0.8 is not supported to be used with Oracle 10.2.x. The second problem is that Forms 6.0.8 is obsolete and not supported any longer. Consider upgrading to the latest version before developing new applications. The latest version is included in Developer Suite and Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 (10.1.2.3 with the latest patches installed).

License for Oracle Forms 6i and Oracle Reports 6i

Hai there,
May I know if I can buy a license for 2 users for the development tools Forms 6i and Reports 6i.
How do I go ahead and buy the license on line. Where do I contact.
Please give me the details.
Thanks in advance.
Elizabeth

Please be aware that this version of Forms is desupported in one months time.
You can download the software from otn but you should contact your Oracle Account Manager about licensing.

How do I create a 1d array that takes a single calculation and insert the result into the first row and then the next calculation the next time the loop passes that point and puts the results in thsecond row and so on until the loop is exited.

The attached file is work inprogress, with some dummy data sp that I can test it out without having to connect to equipment.
The second tab is the one that I am having the problem with. the output array from the replace element appears to be starting at the index position of 1 rather than 0 but that is ok it is still show that the new data is placed in incrementing element locations. However the main array that I am trying to build that is suppose to take each new calculation and place it in the next index(row) does not ap
pear to be working or at least I am not getting any indication on the inidcator.
Basically what I am attempting to do is is gather some pulses from adevice for a minute, place the results for a calculation, so that it displays then do the same again the next minute, but put these result in the next row and so on until the specifiied time has expired and the loop exits. I need to have all results displayed and keep building the array(display until, the end of the test)Eventually I will have to include a min max section that displays the min and max values calculated, but that should be easy with the min max function.Actually I thought this should have been easy but, I gues I can not see the forest through the trees. Can any one help to slear this up for me.

I didn't really have time to dig in and understand your program in depth,
but I have a few tips for you that might things a bit easier:
- You use local variables excessively which really complicates things. Try
not to use them and it will make your life easier.
- If you flowchart the design (very similar to a dataflow diagram, keep in
mind!) you want to gather data, calculate a value from that data, store the
calculation in an array, and loop while the time is in a certain range. So
theres really not much need for a sequence as long as you get rid of the
local variables (sequences also complicate things)
- You loop again if timepassed+1 is still less than some constant. Rather
than messing with locals it seems so much easier to use a shiftregister (if
absolutely necessary) or in this case base it upon the number of iterations
of the loop. In this case it looks like "time passed" is the same thing as
the number of loop iterations, but I didn't check closely. There's an i
terminal in your whileloop to read for the number of iterations.
- After having simplified your design by eliminating unnecessary sequence
and local variables, you should be able to draw out the labview diagram.
Don't try to use the "insert into array" vis since theres no need. Each
iteration of your loop calculates a number which goes into the next position
of the array right? Pass your result outside the loop, and enable indexing
on the terminal so Labview automatically generates the array for you. If
your calculation is a function of previous data, then use a shift register
to keep previous values around.
I wish you luck. Post again if you have any questions. Without a more
detailed understanding of your task at hand it's kind of hard to post actual
code suggestions for you.

View application pages - view forms views and application pages. enumerate lists

view application pages - view forms views and application pages. enumerate lists, if we disable this permission in sharepoint then user gets blocked from getting into application pages which is good. But now I have few list view web parts on a page and user
is not able to see those reports based on view. It shows working on it. As soon as I enable view application pages permission it works.
I need a permission level -view forms views only.

How can I uninstall a damaged installation of Fusion - PFRD 11.1.1.6.0 - Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer

Hello,
I am upgrading EBS 11i to 12i, Discoverer 4 to 11. After completing ebs installation and upgrade successfully, I am now working on the Oracle Fusion piece of the upgrade.
I have installed
1. JDK
2. Repository Creation Utility - RCU (schema)
3. Weblogic - WLS 10.3.6
4. Oracle Fusion - Discoverer 11g Release 1 Patchset 1 11.1.1.2.0 PFRD
5. Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patchset 11.1.1.6.0 - Patchset 13517084
6. Executed config.sh and it failed with but continued.
During the Configuration of Oracle Fusion with config.sh there was failure at with "fails at creating data sources" and accidentally proceeded and all seem to go well until after shutting down the servers when Weblogic Managed Server is unable to start.
The start log indicated: "weblogic.store.PersistentStoreFatalException: [Store:280105]The persistent file store "_WLS_WLS_DISCO" cannot open file _WLS_WLS_DISCO000000.DAT." and I have been unable to find a solution for this error?
See log file error at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15497130/oracle/ebs11/startManagedWebLogic.sh_nohup.out
If re-installation is my only option, then what are the steps to uninstall, and which components do I have to uninstall given that I had upgraded all the schemas involved?
Mathias

Hey,
You can always change the JDBC datasources in the Weblogic admin console . but have you recorded what is the specific error you got during the datasources creation .
I prefer...create a new user , give him sysdba privillages . Start RCU and create the DEV_DISCOVERER , DEV_DISCOVERER_PS schemas (prefix is your choice)
The Admin server will start . so go to admin console .
click services -> Data Sources
Check the data sources you have . edit each datasource and update the connection pool information .
after this you can start the Managed server WLS_DISCO
i believe this will solve this .........
if you still get issue again . you can try the link Using the WebLogic Persistent Store
Thanks

Form 1099R and W-2 Discrepancies

Hello,
We encountered two separate problems in using the Tax Reporter
(transaction code PU19).
1st problem:
The Federal Income Tax Withheld in Form 1099-R only showed 10 months
worth of data but in Forms 945 and 1096, it reflected the correct
Federal Income Tax Withheld.
2nd problem:
Tax Reporter was run on two separate days, for the same field
selection. In Form W-2 State and Local Summary, it returned two
different values for Federal Income Tax Withheld.
To check the values for the Federal Income Tax Withheld, the Wage Type
Reporter was run and reflected another value.
We would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks and Have a nice day!
Best Regards,
Ann Gabutin

Hi,
To use SAPScript fomrs, modify table V_T5UX7.
- Identify W2 forms you use.
- Delimit PDF forms to past dates,
- Delimit sapscript forms to current (eg: 01/01/2000 - 12/31/9999)
