Help! I need to populate BW demo content.

Hi all.
I've just activated the BI demo-content for ITeLO scenario. Do you know If there's an easy way to populate the InfoCubes?
Thank you in advance.

Installing the demo content (from the Business Content) is also supposed to kick off the loads. However, in my experience I had to install the content twice to get this to happen -- once in background so the installation of the objects wouldn't time out, and a second time in the foreground which was the only way to get the loads to kick off.
Try that. Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll go back and try to dig up some notes that I had on the subject of installing demo content with data.
**EDIT: Here is a good note to start with about demo data [370397|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/370397]. If you perform a search for "demo content data" you will get lots of relevant notes that give insights into how demo data is supposed to work (but often doesn't).

BATCH DATA COMMUNICATION
About Data Transfer In R/3 System
When a company decides to implement the SAP R/3 to manage business-critical data, it usually does not start from a no-data situation. Normally, a SAP R/3 project comes into replace or complement existing application.
In the process of replacing current applications and transferring application data, two situations might occur:
The first is when application data to be replaced is transferred at once, and only once.
The second situation is to transfer data periodically from external systems to SAP and vice versa.
There is a period of time when information has to be transferred from existing application, to SAP R/3, and often this process will be repetitive.
The SAP system offers two primary methods for transferring data into SAP systems. From non-SAP systems or legacy system. These two methods are collectively called batch input or batch data communication.
1. SESSION METHOD
2. CALL TRANSACTION
3. DIRECT INPUT
Advantages offered by BATCH INPUT method:
1. Can process large data volumes in batch.
2. Can be planned and submitted in the background.
3. No manual interaction is required when data is transferred.
4. Data integrity is maintained as whatever data is transferred to the table is through transaction. Hence batch input data is submitted to all the checks and validations.
To implement one of the supported data transfers, you must often write the program that exports the data from your non-SAP system. This program, known as a data transfer program must map the data from the external system into the data structure required by the SAP batch input program.
The batch input program must build all of the input to execute the SAP transaction.
Two main steps are required:
To build an internal table containing every screen and every field to be filled in during the execution of an SAP transaction.
To pass the table to SAP for processing.
Prerequisite for Data Transfer Program
Writing a Data Transfer Program involves following prerequisites:
Analyzing data from local file
Analyzing transaction
Analyzing transaction involves following steps:
The transaction code, if you do not already know it.
Which fields require input i.e., mandatory.
Which fields can you allow to default to standard values.
The names, types, and lengths of the fields that are used by a transaction.
Screen number and Name of module pool program behind a particular transaction.
To analyze a transaction::
Start the transaction by menu or by entering the transaction code in the command box.
(You can determine the transaction name by choosing System Status.)
Step through the transaction, entering the data will be required for processing your batch input data.
On each screen, note the program name and screen (dynpro) number.
(dynpro = dyn + pro. Dyn = screen, pro = number)
Display these by choosing System Status. The relevant fields are Program (dynpro) and Dynpro number. If pop-up windows occur during execution, you can get the program name and screen number by pressing F1 on any field or button on the screen.
The technical info pop-up shows not only the field information but also the program and screen.
For each field, check box, and radio button on each screen, press F1 (help) and then choose Technical Info.
Note the following information:
- The field name for batch input, which youll find in its own box.
- The length and data type of the field. You can display this information by double clicking on the Data Element field.
Find out the identification code for each function (button or menu) that you must execute to process the batch-input data (or to go to new screen).
Place the cursor on the button or menu entry while holding down the left mouse button. Then press F1.
In the pop-up window that follows, choose Technical info and note the code that is shown in the Function field.
You can also run any function that is assigned to a function key by way of the function key number. To display the list of available function keys, click on the right mouse button. Note the key number that is assigned to the functions you want to run.
Once you have program name, screen number, field name (screen field name), you can start writing.
DATA TRANSFER program.
Declaring internal table
First Integral Table similar to structure like local file.
Declaring internal table like BDCDATA
The data from internal table is not transferred directly to database table, it has to go through transaction. You need to pass data to particular screen and to particular screen-field. Data is passed to transaction in particular format, hence there is a need for batch input structure.
The batch input structure stores the data that is to be entered into SAP system and the actions that are necessary to process the data. The batch input structure is used by all of the batch input methods. You can use the same structure for all types of batch input, regardless of whether you are creating a session in the batch input queue or using CALL TRANSACTION.
This structure is BDCDATA, which can contain the batch input data for only a single run of a transaction. The typical processing loop in a program is as follows:
Create a BDCDATA structure
Write the structure out to a session or process it with CALL TRANSACTION USING; and then
Create a BDCDATA structure for the next transaction that is to be processed.
Within a BDCDATA structure, organize the data of screens in a transaction. Each screen that is processed in the course of a transaction must be identified with a BDCDATA record. This record uses the Program, Dynpro, and Dynbegin fields of the structure.
The screen identifier record is followed by a separate BDCDATA record for each value, to be entered into a field. These records use the FNAM and FVAL fields of the BDCDATA structure. Values to be entered in a field can be any of the following:
Data that is entered into screen fields.
Function codes that are entered into the command field. Such function codes execute functions in a transaction, such as Save or Enter.
The BDCDATA structure contains the following fields:
PROGRAM: Name of module pool program associated with the screen. Set this field only for the first record for the screen.
DYNPRO: Screen Number. Set this field only in the first record for the screen.
DYNBEGIN: Indicates the first record for the screen. Set this field to X, only for the first record for the screen. (Reset to (blank) for all other records.)
FNAM: Field Name. The FNAM field is not case-sensitive.
FVAL: Value for the field named in FNAM. The FVAL field is case-sensitive. Values assigned to this field are always padded on the right, if they are less than 132 characters. Values must be in character format.
Transferring data from local file to internal table
Data is uploaded to internal table by UPLOAD of WS_UPLOAD function.
Population of BDCDATA
For each record of internal table, you need to populate Internal table, which is similar to BDCDATA structure.
All these five initial steps are necessary for any type of BDC interface.
DATA TRANSFER program can call SESSION METHOD or CALL TRANSACTION. The initial steps for both the methods are same.
First step for both the methods is to upload the data to internal table. From Internal Table, the data is transferred to database table by two ways i.e., Session method and Call transaction.
SESSION METHOD
About Session method
In this method you transfer data from internal table to database table through sessions.
In this method, an ABAP/4 program reads the external data that is to be entered in the SAP System and stores the data in session. A session stores the actions that are required to enter your data using normal SAP transaction i.e., Data is transferred to session which in turn transfers data to database table.
Session is intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with its action is stored in session i.e., data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, the program name behind it, and how the next screen is processed.
When the program has finished generating the session, you can run the session to execute the SAP transactions in it. You can either explicitly start and monitor a session or have the session run in the background processing system.
Unless session is processed, the data is not transferred to database table.
BDC_OPEN_GROUP
You create the session through program by BDC_OPEN_GROUP function.
Parameters to this function are:
User Name: User name
Group: Name of the session
Lock Date: The date on which you want to process the session.
Keep: This parameter is passed as X when you want to retain session after
processing it or to delete it after processing.
BDC_INSERT
This function creates the session & data is transferred to Session.
Parameters to this function are:
Tcode: Transaction Name
Dynprotab: BDC Data
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
This function closes the BDC Group. No Parameters.
Some additional information for session processing
When the session is generated using the KEEP option within the BDC_OPEN_GROUP, the system always keeps the sessions in the queue, whether it has been processed successfully or not.
However, if the session is processed, you have to delete it manually. When session processing is completed successfully while KEEP option was not set, it will be removed automatically from the session queue. Log is not removed for that session.
If the batch-input session is terminated with errors, then it appears in the list of INCORRECT session and it can be processed again. To correct incorrect session, you can analyze the session. The Analysis function allows to determine which screen and value has produced the error. If you find small errors in data, you can correct them interactively, otherwise you need to modify batch input program, which has generated the session or many times even the data file.
CALL TRANSACTION
About CALL TRANSACTION
A technique similar to SESSION method, while batch input is a two-step procedure, Call Transaction does both steps online, one after the other. In this method, you call a transaction from your program by
Call transaction <tcode> using <BDCTAB>
Mode <A/N/E>
Update <S/A>
Messages into <MSGTAB>.
Parameter 1 is transaction code.
Parameter 2 is name of BDCTAB table.
Parameter 3 here you are specifying mode in which you execute transaction
A is all screen mode. All the screen of transaction are displayed.
N is no screen mode. No screen is displayed when you execute the transaction.
E is error screen. Only those screens are displayed wherein you have error record.
Parameter 4 here you are specifying update type by which database table is updated.
S is for Synchronous update in which if you change data of one table then all the related Tables gets updated. And sy-subrc is returned i.e., sy-subrc is returned for once and all.
A is for Asynchronous update. When you change data of one table, the sy-subrc is returned. And then updating of other affected tables takes place. So if system fails to update other tables, still sy-subrc returned is 0 (i.e., when first table gets updated).
Parameter 5 when you update database table, operation is either successful or unsuccessful or operation is successful with some warning. These messages are stored in internal table, which you specify along with MESSAGE statement. This internal table should be declared like BDCMSGCOLL, a structure available in ABAP/4. It contains the following fields:
1. Tcode: Transaction code
2. Dyname: Batch point module name
3. Dynumb: Batch input Dyn number
4. Msgtyp: Batch input message type (A/E/W/I/S)
5. Msgspra: Batch input Lang, id of message
6. Msgid: Message id
7. MsgvN: Message variables (N = 1 - 4)
For each entry, which is updated in database, table message is available in BDCMSGCOLL. As BDCMSGCOLL is structure, you need to declare a internal table which can contain multiple records (unlike structure).
Steps for CALL TRANSACTION method
1. Internal table for the data (structure similar to your local file)
2. BDCTAB like BDCDATA
3. UPLOAD or WS_UPLOAD function to upload the data from local file to itab. (Considering file is local file)
4. Loop at itab.
Populate BDCTAB table.
Call transaction <tcode> using <BDCTAB>
Mode <A/N/E>
Update <S/A>.
Refresh BDCTAB.
Endloop.
(To populate BDCTAB, You need to transfer each and every field)
The major differences between Session method and Call transaction are as follows:
SESSION METHOD CALL TRANSACTION
1. Data is not updated in database table unless Session is processed. Immediate updation in database table.
2. No sy-subrc is returned. Sy-subrc is returned.
3. Error log is created for error records. Errors need to be handled explicitly
4. Updation in database table is always synchronous Updation in database table can be synchronous Or Asynchronous.
Error Handling in CALL TRANSACTION
When Session Method updates the records in database table, error records are stored in the log file. In Call transaction there is no such log file available and error record is lost unless handled. Usually you need to give report of all the error records i.e., records which are not inserted or updated in the database table. This can be done by the following method:
Steps for the error handling in CALL TRANSACTION
1. Internal table for the data (structure similar to your local file)
2. BDCTAB like BDCDATA
3. Internal table BDCMSG like BDCMSGCOLL
4. Internal table similar to Ist internal table
(Third and fourth steps are for error handling)
5. UPLOAD or WS_UPLOAD function to upload the data from the local file to itab. (Considering file is local file)
6. Loop at itab.
Populate BDCTAB table.
Call transaction <tr.code> using <Bdctab>
Mode <A/N/E>
Update <S/A>
Messages <BDCMSG>.
Perform check.
Refresh BDCTAB.
Endloop.
7 Form check.
IF sy-subrc <> 0. (Call transaction returns the sy-subrc if updating is not successful).
Call function Format_message.
(This function is called to store the message given by system and to display it along with record)
Append itab2.
Display the record and message.
DIRECT INPUT
About Direct Input
In contrast to batch input, this technique does not create sessions, but stores the data directly. It does not simulate the online transaction. To enter the data into the corresponding database tables directly, the system calls a number of function modules that execute any necessary checks. In case of errors, the direct input technique provides a restart mechanism. However, to be able to activate the restart mechanism, direct input programs must be executed in the background only. Direct input checks the data thoroughly and then updates the database directly.
You can start a Direct Input program in two ways;
Start the program directly
This is the quickest way to see if the program works with your flat file. This option is possible with all direct input programs. If the program ends abnormally, you will not have any logs telling you what has or has not been posted. To minimize the chance of this happening, always use the check file option for the first run with your flat file. This allows you to detect format errors before transfer.
Starting the program via the DI administration transaction
This transaction restarts the processing, if the data transfer program aborts. Since DI document are immediately posted into the SAP D/B, the restart option prevents the duplicate document posting that occurs during a program restart (i.e., without adjusting your flat file).
Direct input is usually done for standard data like material master, FI accounting document, SD sales order and Classification for which SAP has provided standard programs.
First time you work with the Direct Input administration program, you will need to do some preparation before you can transfer data:
- Create variant
- Define job
- Start job
- Restart job
Common batch input errors
- The batch input BDCDATA structure tries to assign values to fields which do not exist in the current transaction screen.
- The screen in the BDCDATA structure does not match the right sequence, or an intermediate screen is missing.
- On exceptional occasions, the logic flow of batch input session does not exactly match that of manual online processing. Testing the sessions online can discover by this.
- The BDCDATA structure contains fields, which are longer than the actual definition.
- Authorization problems.
RECORDING A BATCH INPUT
A B recording allows you to record a R/3 transaction and generate a program that contains all screens and field information in the required BDC-DATA format.
You can either use SHDB transaction for recording or
EDIT? BATCH INPUT ? SERVICES ?SYSTEM
And from here click recording.
Enter name for the recording.
(Dates are optional)
Click recording.
Enter transaction code.
Enter.
Click Save button.
You finally come to a screen where, you have all the information for each screen including BDC_OKCODE.
Click Get Transaction.
Return to BI.
Click overview.
Position the cursor on the just recorded entry and click generate program.
Enter program name.
Click enter
The program is generated for the particular transaction.
BACKGROUND PROCESSING
Need for Background processing
When a large volume of data is involved, usually all batch inputs are done in background.
The R/3 system includes functions that allow users to work non-interactively or offline. The background processing systems handle these functions.
Non-interactively means that instead of executing the ABAP/4 programs and waiting for an answer, user can submit those programs for execution at a more convenient planned time.
There are several reasons to submit programs for background execution.
The maximum time allowed for online execution should not exceed 300 seconds. User gets TIMEOUT error and an aborted transaction, if time for execution exceeds 300 seconds. To avoid these types of error, you can submit jobs for background processing.
You can use the system while your program is executing.
This does not mean that interactive or online work is not useful. Both type of processing have their own purposes. Online work is the most common one entering business data, displaying information, printing small reports, managing the system and so on. Background jobs are mainly used for the following tasks; to process large amount of data, to execute periodic jobs without human intervention, to run program at a more convenient, planned time other than during normal working hours i.e., Nights or weekends.
The transaction for background processing is SM36.
Or
Define jobs? Jobs ? Administration ?Tools
Or
Jobs? services ?System
Components of the background jobs
A job in Background processing is a series of steps that can be scheduled and step is a program for background processing.
Job name. Define the name of assigned to the job. It identifies the job. You can specify up to 32 characters for the name.
Job class. Indicates the type of background processing priority assigned to the job.
The job class determines the priority of a job. The background system admits three types of job classes: A B & C, which correspond to job priority.
Job steps. Parameters to be passed for this screen are as follows:
Program name.
Variant if it is report program
Start criteria for the job: Option available for this are as follows:
Immediate - allows you to start a job immediately.
Date/Time - allows you to start a job at a specific name.
After job - you can start a job after a particular job.
After event - allows you to start a job after a particular event.
At operation mode - allows you to start a job when the system switches to a particular operation mode.
Defining Background jobs
It is two step process: Firstly, you define the job and then release it.
When users define a job and save it, they are actually scheduling the report i.e., specifying the job components, the steps, the start time.
When users schedule program for background processing, they are instructing the system to execute an ABAP/4 report or an external program in the background. Scheduled jobs are not executed until they are released. When jobs are released, they are sent for execution to the background processing system at the specified start time. Both scheduling and releasing of jobs require authorizations.
HANDLING OF POP UP SCREEN IN BDC
Many times in transaction pop up screen appears and for this screen you dont pass any record but some indication to system telling it to proceed further. For example: The following screen
To handle such screen, system has provided a variable called BDC_CURSOR. You pass this variable to BDCDATA and process the screen.
Usually such screen appears in many transactions, in this case you are just passing information, that YES you want to save the information, that means YES should be clicked. So you are transferring this information to BDCDATA i.e., field name of YES which is usually SPOT_OPTION. Instead of BDC_OKCODE, you are passing BDC_CURSOR.
BDC_CURSOR is also used to place cursor on particular field.
AN EXAMPLE WITH SESSION METHOD
Following program demonstrates how data is passed from flat file to SAP transaction and further to database table by using SESSION method.
The transaction is TFBA (to change customer).
A simple transaction where you are entering customer number on first screen and on next screen data is displayed for the particular customer number. Field, which we are changing here, are name and city. When you click on save, the changed record gets saved.
Prerequisite to write this BDC interface as indicated earlier is:
1. To find screen number
2. To find screen field names, type of the field and length of the field.
3. To find BDC_OKCODE for each screen
4. Create flat file.
Flat file can be created in your hard disk as follows:
1 Vinod Krishna Hyderabad
2 Kavitha Secunderabad
3 Kishore Hyderabad
(Where 1st character field is Customer number, 2nd field is Customer name and 3rd field is City.)
To transfer this data to database table SCUSTOM following interface can be used.
REPORT DEMO1.
Following internal table is to upload flat file.

Need to populate Y or N based on some logic in Bex Report

Hi Experts,
I have a report requirement following are the details:
1. ENDDA is a characteristics DATE field coming from Info Provider.
2. Now if ENDDA < Report Run Date we need to populate N in report field
3. If ENDDA > Report Run Date we need to populate Y in report field.
would be great if some body can give some insight into the approach to follow and achieve this requirement.
Regards
Raj Rai

Hi
Now i have created a CKF with two formula variables:
Var 1 is replacement path variable which is taking ENDDA time characteristics as its reference value.
Var 2 is SAP Exit formula var bringing in the report run date.
Issue:
Var1 date format is MM/DD/YYYY
Var2 date fromat is MMDDYYYY
we need to substract these two in order to get the difference in days but for that the date format have to be uniform for both variables. In SAP Exit i tried appending the '/'value b/w MM, DD & YYYY but its showing x when i look at query o/p.
I checked the code by executing the query in RSRT in debug mode and checked the value of L_S_RANGE which is perfect in 05/24/2011 but the same value in var o/p in showing X at query side.
Any pointers would be help ful
Regards
Raj Rai

Update help might need recursion

Hi all:
I have a problem with a sql statement that maybe someone could help me with. I am not a PL/SQL PROGRAMMER but have been given this task. I have some experience with T-SQL. I can do this with Dynamic sql fine, however I need to do it with a regular update statement as I need to include it between a BEGIN and END statement which doesn't like Dynamic sql or allow me to spool it to a file. There are two similiar update statement that do the same thing but for different records. Heres a simple idea of what I need to do.
-- Update Questionnaire 1 ID's For Parent Questions
spool update_question_ids.sql
SELECT 'UPDATE X.TEMP_UPDATE_QUES1
SET q1_parent_question_id ='||a.questions_xref_id||'
WHERE q1_parent_id ='||a.obs_ques_xref_id||';'
FROM X.TEMP_SYNC_QUES a, X.TEMP_UPDATE_QUES1 b
WHERE a.questions_xref_id = b.q1_questions_xref_id
AND a.obs_ques_xref_id = b.q1_obs_ques_xref_id;
spool off;
@update_question_ids.sql
COMMIT;
In simplier terms:
parent_question question_id questions_xref_id
308 3
308 3917 67
308 423 18
I added a fourth column called parent_question_xref_id and need to populate it with the correct question_xref_id of the parent so it looks like this.
parent_question question_id question_xref_id parent_question_xref_id
308 3
308 3917 67 3
308 423 18 3
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks --Matt

Hi, Matt,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenver you have a question, it helps to post:
(1) The version of Oracle (and any other relevant software) you're using
(2) A little sample data (just enough to show what the problem is) from all the relevant tables
(3) The results you want from that data (If you're asking about a DML statement, such as UPDATE, this will be the state of the tables when everything is finished.)
Executable SQL statements (like "CREATE TABLE AS ..." or "INSERT ..." statements) are best for (2).
Formatted tabular output is okay for (3). Type {code} before and after the tabular text, to preserve spacing. In the results you posted, it's unclear where the NULL columns are because this site remove excess whitespace. This is where {code} tags are very useful.
From what you did post, I think I can guess the solution.
There's no need to use SQL-from-SQL (like you're doing) or PL/SQL for this.
You want to UPDATE several rows of one table with data from another table: an UPDATE statement with a sub-query can do that.
If you only want to UPDATE rows that have a match in the sub-query, then a lot of the sub-query has to be repeated in the main query's WHERE clause. To avoid that duplication, you can use MERGE instead of UPDATE.
I think this is what you want to do:
MERGE INTO     x.temp_update_ques1     dst
USING     (     SELECT     a.obs_ques_xref_id
          ,     a.questions_xref_id
          FROM     x.temp_sync_ques     a
          ,     x.temp_update_ques1     b
          WHERE     a.questions_xref_id     = b.q1_questions_xref_id
          AND     a.obs_ques_xref_id     = b.q1_obs_ques_xref_id
     ) src
ON     (src.obs_ques_xref_id     = dst.q1_parent_id)
WHEN     MATCHED     THEN
     UPDATE     SET     dst.q1_parent_question_id     = src.questions_xref_id
;If this does not solve your problem, then post the information listed above.

BI Demo Content

Dear All,
from which Support Package on is the BI Demo Content (technical name of the objects starting with 0D_NW) available in BW 7.0?
Thanks in advance,
regards Marc

hello,
What i meant was if yu have R/3 sys and u knwo the type of data to be loaded, you can connect and try.
anyways,
did u try the other options i gave?
look at some more options like:
You may log on your bi system, and go to se38, excute program "RSO_BC_FILES_IN_BDS" and then input the demo infocube name which you have activated in the system, in process mode, choose " start bdn" and then ,in the next screen, you check the file and click the download button, and you may get the data for this infocube.
There are some demo scenarios in business content in :

Need to populate unique key based on the combintion of rows

Hi
I have one table like this below.
ID PUB_DATE PUB_NAME PP SECTION PAGE_No
20080225 TR 1AB L 004
20080225 TR 1AB L 004
20080225 HN 1AB L 002
20080225 HN 1AB L 002
20080225 WW 1p1 L 001
20080225 WW 1p1 L 001
I need to populate unique id for ID column based on the combination of rows.
Exampl:
We know that first two records are same, then i will populate ID as 1 for these two records. Then next two records are same , then i will populate ID as 2 for these two records.
I need to populate ID as follows.
ID PUB_DATE PUB_NAME PP SECTION PAGE_No
1 20080225 TR 1AB L 004
1 20080225 TR 1AB L 004
2 20080225 HN 1AB L 002
2 20080225 HN 1AB L 002
3 20080225 WW 1p1 L 001
3 20080225 WW 1p1 L 001
Please anybody help me?.
Thanks

Get a programming logic book, look at master file versus transaction file (typically uses a bank as the business example). Try this yourself yet? Any PL/SQL experience? Or is this your homework assignment?
And look up what the definition of unique means in Oracle. Title of your thread is very misleading.

Help desperately needed w/ Spry/XML thing

I am in dire need of help. I altered the products demo from
the Spry download and am am creating a gallery type thing where you
click on an item in the list, and the image changes. I have that
working fine. I then created a forward and backward button so you
could scroll through the images that way. And that works fine.
However, even though the image changes, I can't figure out how to
get the proper item highlighted in the left navigation.
For example, if I start on the first item (Atari Lucasfilm)
and click my forward arrow, the image will change to the Adobe
picture, but the navigation on the left still has Atari Lucasfilm
highlighted.
Here is a link to the website
http://www.3hounddesign.com/Paul_Woods/identity.html#
Here is a link to the xml
http://www.3hounddesign.com/Paul_Woods/identity.xml
And here is a link to the javascript
http://www.3hounddesign.com/Paul_Woods/gallery.js
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

The only reason I have the gallery.js included at all is
because I am a massive javascript novice who has no idea how to
create a button that would go to the next/previous image. Therefore
I went to the gallery demo and pretty much copied the
<a href="#" onclick="StopSlideShow();
AdvanceToNextImage();" title="Next">
I figured I would need to attach the javascript file that
went with the gallery demo in order to make that work. I'm not sure
what errors it created. I used Firebug, but couldn't quite figure
it out.
If there is an easier way to create a forward button that
would advance to the next image AND have the proper item
highlighted in the left navigation, please please please let me
know. Like I said, I am not very familiar with javascript, and am
on a deadline and trying really hard to figure out a bunch of stuff
and pretty much knocking my head against the wall.
Thank you for your help!
