Formulas and updating fields

I have a PDF document that has a bunch of forms to calculate mileage, etc. I have entered formulas into "total" fields, but once i fill in the other fields, the "total" number does not update. Is there a secret trick to making the number automatically update or is it possible that my formula is just wrong? It's in simplified field notation as "Ending MileageRow1 - Beginning MileageRow1." (Ending MileageRow1 is the name of one field and Beginning MileageRow1 is the name of another.) Any help with this would be great!

The field calculation order is not correct. To set it, go into forms editing mode (Forms > Add or Edit Fields) and then select "Forms > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order". Set the order to whatever makes sense for your form.

Read from database (Access) and update fields using MS ADODB

Hello,
I am trying to get records from database using MS ADODB._connection & ADODB._Recordset objects (from LabVIEW 6)
I can:
1. open connection (with ADODB._connection)
2. write into tables (with ADODB._command)
I can not: gets records and update fields using ADODB._connection & ADODB._Recordset.
I do not know:
1. how to connect between the connection that was opened and the recordset object
2. where I can write the SQL text as input to the recordset
Attached is DataBase.llb with DB_read.vi that display my steps.
Thanks.

Try this one, after updating the names for database and the table you want.
Let me know if it's working.
p.s.: if you have problems, it could be a different adodb version ... but the sequence of methods is the same

Ordering of formula and summary fields - Reports6i

Hello,
I want to know if it is possible to make certain order of field (XML tags) in XML.
If I have ordinary field that I get from SQL I can put it in the place that I want it to be and position in xml is OK, but when I put formula or summary field on certain place in xml file it is always on last place.
For example:
I have sql with 3 fields (one, two, three) and two formula fields (fo1, fo2). In report they are in this order:
1. one
2. fo1
3. two
4. fo2
5. three
but in xml file I get this order:
<body>
<edp:bodyContent>
</one>
</two>
</three>
</fo1>
</fo2>
</edp:bodyContent>
</body>
and I wish to have this order in xml:
<body>
<edp:bodyContent>
</one>
</fo1>
</two>
</fo2>
</three>
</edp:bodyContent>
</body>
Is this possible and if so how?
Thanks for your help

Finally, I got the fix.
Here is what I did: Instead of the format mask '000' or '099' or '0nn' I used '000Y'
adding a Y supresses the extra space that is reserved for + or - sign. And supression need to be added at the end like I showed, not like 'Y000'.
Now my data looks like this, which is what I wanted:
04/23/20120020123.451234.5610/24/2008
If you look close, there are no spaces now as compard to my previous data line.
Thank you all both for spending some time and giving me pointers.

BADI to check and update field in transaction BP through WEB UI

Hi,
I have this requirement to check certain data from BUT000 and based on this update the Search term field in BUT000.
I am using Badi BUPA_GENERAL_UPDATE.
I am also able to retrieve the current value in BUT000 using function module
CALL FUNCTION 'BUPA_GENERAL_CALLBACK'
    TABLES
      et_but000_old = t_but000_old
      et_but000_new = t_but000_new.
My requirement is to update a field in BUT000 in memory.
If I was to use transaction BP in CRM then simply I can modify the value using
ASSIGN ('(SAPLBUD0)MEM_BUT000[] into <Field_symbol>
But the issue is that when called through the WEB UI I cannot access this memory.
Can any one suggest me a Function Module or some method by which I can change the value of BUT000 in memory while saving.
Awaiting your quick suggestions.
Regards,
Taher

Hi Sidd,
I figured out another way to do this.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs> TYPE ANY TABLE.
DATA : ws_bus000_i TYPE bus000___i.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs2> TYPE bus000___i.
IF sy-tcode = 'BP'.
    ASSIGN ('(SAPLBUD0)MEM_BUT000[]') TO <fs>.
    IF <fs> IS ASSIGNED.
      LOOP AT <fs> ASSIGNING <fs2>.
        IF <fs2> IS ASSIGNED.
          IF <fs2>-partner_guid = ws_but000-partner_guid.
            <fs2>-bu_sort1 = 'BP'.
          ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
    UNASSIGN : <fs>, <fs2>.
ELSEIF sy-tcode IS INITIAL.
    ASSIGN ('(SAPLBUD_MEM)gt_but000_mem[]') TO <fs>.
    IF <fs> IS ASSIGNED.
      LOOP AT <fs> ASSIGNING <fs2>.
        IF <fs2> IS ASSIGNED.
          IF <fs2>-partner_guid = ws_but000-partner_guid.
            <fs2>-bu_sort1 = 'WEB UI'.
          ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
    UNASSIGN : <fs>, <fs2>.
ENDIF.
on debugging I could figure out the program containing the data in the memory.
Before the save I accessed this program and updated the parameter as required.
Also For transaction BP this program is not available but there is another program so there is an if else based on the sy-tcode.
I need to check for other BP transactions as well but as of now this seems good.
Kindly suggest.
Taher.

Extra blank space in formula and summary fields

I have a report that gives text output. In that I have 3 fields which are numeric.
One of them has source as summary column- numeric 3 digits(format mask 000) and other 2 has source as formula column- numeric format mask (0000.00)
Here is my problem- When the value in my summary column is 3, it prints space(instead of 0) and 03,
if the value is 56, it prints a space and 56. if the value is 139, it prints a space and 139. Now this increaases the size of my line by 1 space, which is acceptable to the system that we are feeding this data.
Similar thing is happening for the formula columns, 1 space (instead of 0) and then 000.00 is printed, if the value is filling the format mask, then it will have an extra space before giving out the value 1234.56.
Can somebody please help me with the situation.
Thanks
Anna

PHP Show if hides update fields, but they get overwritten with an empty string

I have an issue with a page where some update fields are displayed depending on who is logged, for example:
<?php if ($row_Users['UserID']=="101"){ ?>
<input <?php if (!(strcmp($row_lodges['101_finalist'],"Yes"))) {echo "checked=\"checked\"";} ?> type="checkbox" name="101_finalist" value="Yes"/>
<input type="text" class="rankfield" name="101_rank" value="<?php echo($row_lodges['101_rank']); ?>" />
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($row_Users['UserID']=="102"){ ?>
<input <?php if (!(strcmp($row_lodges['102_finalist'],"Yes"))) {echo "checked=\"checked\"";} ?> type="checkbox" name="102_finalist" value="Yes"/>
<input type="text" class="rankfield" name="102_rank" value="<?php echo($row_lodges['102_rank']); ?>" />
<?php } ?>
The issue I have is that if User101 is logged in and updates fields 101_finalist and 101_rank, it overwrites 102_finalist and 102_rank with an empty string.
Is it possible to prevent each user from seeing the other fields for other users, and prevent the existing values for those other users not be overwritten?
Hope that makes sense!
Thank you.

That would mean multiple nominations when really there only needs to be one nomination per category in any given country.
It would be:
1, 345, 101, Borana Lodge, 7, 2, Yes, 1
1, 345, 102, Borana Lodge, 7, 2, Yes, 3
1, 345, 103, Borana Lodge, 7, 2, No, NULL
Instead of:
1, 345, Borana Lodge, 7, 2, Yes, 1, Yes, 3, No, NULL
Sorry, Lodge isn't in the nominations table, the list above is what is displayed on the site. Lodge gets looked up in the Ldoges table.
At the moment it works like this:
People can visit a website and vote for lodges in different categories, giving them a score out of 10 for each.
If a lodge gets a vote in a particular category an admin person creates a nomination for that lodge, in that category.
And the last bit is where judges login and tag the ones they think should be finalists.

How to update a People and group field using a sandbox solution

Hi,
I am creating a sandbox solution for office 365 and creating a custom form using visual web part, which will allow users to enter data in a custom list.
And that list also have a user field. I am able to get SharePoint user field on the form (using javascript) which is searching for the user and get a value (working fine).
Issue: But I am not able to save the user value. Because to save user value I require web, UserID and login name, to construct SPFieldUserValue object or string in "111;#TestUser" format. Moreover that user should be present in
SiteUserInfoList.
I tried web.EnsureUser() but did not work under sanbox solution.
Can you please provide any pointer or workaround to the problem? I may be missing something here.
Thanks,
Himanshu

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update the people and group field in Sandbox solution.
In the sandbox solution, you can still use the web.EnsureUser() function to get the user information, see the thread below:
EnsureUser in sandboxed solution
In additional, there is a demo with your similiar requirement for your reference:
Using the People Picker Control in Sandbox Solutions / Office 365

Add fields to maintenance view and update then using events

Hi experts:
I've created a table with 4 fields, one of them is userid. Also, there is a maintenance view to add new entries.
I want to display user name when typing userid using events (1 or 21). I know how to do it if username is one of the fields of the table, but there is a requirement to not store username in the table, just userid.
My question is: is possible to add a field into the maintenance view and update it using events but not store the value in DB?.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Carlos.

In the save event just clear the entries of the field(user name) in the internal table.

Reg "created by" and "updated by" fields in Data Manager

Hi,
I just want to know if we have any solution for the "Create By" and "Update By" issue in data manager. Because in my system i have two users. The 1st user created the record and later if the 2nd user edits any field then only the "Update By" field should show the 2nd user name but as of now now it updates both the "Create By" and "Update By" by the 2nd user name.
Expecting your valuable inputs on this.
Thanks in advance !!

Hi Arumugam,
goto Console and check the "Selected Fields" property of your "Create By" fields. You should choose a field that does not change at all if some updates the record. A good choice is a Auto ID that is created only once when the record is created. So you can ensure that your Create User will not change if anyone is updating the record later on.

How do I get a new value for the service name field and update it in Connection Properties?

I am running Windows Vista. I just upgraded to Firefox 4. When I try to log on to the internet, it tells me the proxy server is refusing connections. A diagnostic reported Error 815 and said the remote server is not responding because there is an invalid value for the "Service Name" field. It said to get a new value and update it in Connection Properties. How do I do this?

When you create a new film script, the first page you see is a title page.
The page after this title page is the one where you generally type in your scenes.
It looks like you are facing some issue and not able to delete any text.
Can you please send me this script so that I can have a better look at your issue?
You can save this script to disk by using option 'File -> Save to disk'. This will create a '.stdoc' file on your system.
Just mail this '.stdoc' file to me at 'roverma <at> adobe <dot> com'

Default value in LOV field in Create and Update page in OAF

Hi All,
I am unable to default LOV field in Create and Update page in OAF.
I tried in below way :
OAMessageLovInputBean lovBean1 = (OAMessageLovInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("AAA");
But I am getting developer mode exception, so please guide me how i can set the default value for create and update page instead of using code in process request method in controller.
Thanks

Hi,
1) In case of create, you can default the value either in EOImpl or in AM while initializing the row:
//in EOImpl
public void create(AttributeList attributeList)
super.create(attributeList);
setXXAttribute(<value>);
//in AM, VO new row initialization :-
VOImpl VO = getVO1();
VO.setMaxFetchSize(0);
VORowImpl row = (VORowImpl)VO.createRow();
row.setXXAttribute(<value>);
VO.insertRow(row);
row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
2) In case of update, execute the VO (also set the where clause if required) in PR method of update page.

Only consider customers whose interest indicator knb1-vzskz = 'vk'.
Interest is to be calculated for every 30 days
at the rate of 1% .please see example below.
Document date is 01.01.2007
for amount 1000SGD   payment term 7 days
It becomes due on 08.01.2007

Inserting and updating a BLOB field

Friends I want my application (Oracle is the backend) to look for a character in a BLOB field and then replace it with the desired character.
Can some one give me some example of retrieving and updating a BLOB field

Examples are in Oracle Technet: http://otn.oracle.com/
In this forum I saw also some examples and in your local Oracle Client Installation you find under $ORACLE_HOME$/jdbc/demo/ examples.

Adding a new field in BCONT table and updating it

Hi All,
Is there any BAPI/BADI which will allow to add a new field in standard BCONT table and update its value?
Your solution will be really helpful.
Thanks,
Nirupam

Hi Santosh,
This is required for UCES. We need to add a field in BCONT table (SE11/SE16), which will hold a flag value, i.e Y/N.
The value will be updated through a custom FM being used in UCES, and also based on the value there is a validation inside UCES.
This field need not be displayed inside any SAP screen.
thanks,
