How can I include a null field in a date comparison?

Post Author: F+SJen
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have a report looking at sales order due dates vs. actual ship dates to calculate on-time performance percentages. The report is using a right outer join to see all sales orders, even if there are no shippers for those orders. My problem is that the formula I am using is not including the sales orders without any shippers yet- I would like to include those orders as being late also (resulting in a "2").For example, my current formula is like this:if salesorder.duedate>= shipper.shipdate then "1" elseif salesorder.duedate < shipper.shipdate then "2" else"3".Is there a way to say if the salesorder.duedate < shipper.shipdate OR any sales orders with null records =2?I know I may not be explaining this the best way possible, but I am a beginner and have never had to tty anything like this before.Thanks!!

if isnull(salesorder.duedate) or salesorder.duedate < shipper.shipdate then "2" else
if salesorder.duedate>= shipper.shipdate then "1" else"3";
The NULL check always has to be the first condition.

How can I share a static field between 2 class loaders?

Hi,
I've been googling for 2 days and it now seems I'm not understanding something because nobody seems to have my problem. Please, somebody tell me if I'm crazy.
The system's architecture:
I've got a web application running in a SunOne server. The app uses Struts for the MVC part and Spring to deal with business services and DAOs.
Beside the web app, beyond the application context, but in the same physical server, there are some processes, kind of batch processes that update tables and that kind of stuff, that run once a day. Theese processes are plain Java classes, with a main method, that are executed from ".sh" scripts with the "java" command.
What do I need to do?
"Simple". I need one of those Java processes to use one of the web app's service. This service has some DAOs injected by Spring. And the service itself is a bean defined in the Spring configuration file.
The solution is made-up of 2 parts:
1. I created a class, in the web app, with a static method that returns any bean defined in the Spring configuration file, or in other words, any bean in the application context. In my case, this method returns the service I need.
public class SpringApplicationContext implements ApplicationContextAware {
     private static ApplicationContext appContext;
     public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext context) throws BeansException {
          appContext = context;
     public static Object getBean(String nombreBean) {
          return appContext.getBean(nombreBean);
}The ApplicationContext is injected to the class by Spring through the setApplicationContext method. This is set in the Spring configuration file.
Well, this works fine if I call the getBean method from any class in the web app. But that's not what I need. I need to get a bean from outside the web app. From the "Java batch process".
2. Why doesn't it work from outside the web app? Because when I call getBean from the process outside the web app, a different class loader is executed to load the SpringApplicationContext class. Thus, the static field appContext is null. Am I right?
So, the question I need you to please answer me, the question I didn't find in Google:
How can I share the static field between the 2 class loaders?
If I can't, how can I load the SpringApplicationContext class, from the "Java batch process", with the same class loader my web app was started?
Or, do I need to load the SpringApplicationContext class again? Can't I use, from the process, the class already loaded by my web app?
I' sorry about my so extensive post...
Thank you very much!

But maybe, if the web service stuff gets to complicated or it doesn't fulfill my needs, I'll set up a separate Spring context, that gets loaded everytime I run the "Java batch process". It'll have it's own Spring configuration files (these will be a fragment of the web app's config files), where I'll define only the beans I need to use, say the service and the 2 DAOs, and also the DB connection. Additionally, I'll set the classpath to use the beans classes of the web app. Thus, if the service and DAOs were modified in the app server, the process would load the modified classes in the following execution.You'll almost certainly have to do that even if you do use RMI, Web services etc. to connect.
What I suggest is that you split your web project into two source trees, the stuff that relates strictly to the web front end and the code which will be shared with the batch. The latter can then be treated as a library used by both the batch and web projects. That can include splitting Spring configuration files into common and specific, the common beans file can be retrieved from the classpath with an include. I regularly split web projects this way anyway, it helps impose decoupling between View/Controller and Model layers.
On the other hand, you might consider running these batch processes inside the web server on background threads.

How can i add STORAGE LOCATION field which is not...............

hi,
sap gurus,
good morning to all,
how can i add STORAGE LOCATION field which is not in the standard tables namely
KOMP, KOMK, and KOMG.
how to include it in our FIELDS FROM FIELD CATALOGUE.
if we include this field is there any impact on the standard tables.
plz let me know this.
bcz
we are selling our products in two ways
(1). one is straight from factory ie direct sales from factory
if customer asks for excise invoice then we will sell thru factory and keeping freight in mind we will
deliver him which ever is economical either rail or road.
before coming to second case of selling the goods
we will do STOCK TRANSPORT ORDER from plant to different storage locations.
if we did STO thru road we have to sell the goods thru road only.
if we did STO thru rail we have to sell the goods thru rail route only.
(2). if the customer is not asking any excise invoice then we will send the goods thru depo/storage
location which is not registered under excise.
if the goods came by road then it will be delivered by road only.
if the goods came by rail then it will be delivered by rail only.
my logic here is
basing on the
storage location, transportation types, and distance i want to create condition record
that captures exact frieght at the sales order level.
confirm whether i am right or wrong.

Hi,
It is not recommended to add new fields to any SAP standard tables. It disturbs the whole SAP functionality.
But if you have no choice expcept to change the standard tables to meet your requirement - then you need an access key to modify the object, which is available from the market place.
Nevertheless, the better option is to create a 'Z' table with the required fields and use that accordingly.
Changing standard tables will have serious impact when you apply patches or do an upgrade on the existing functionality.

How can i include Services and Bindung in a generated WSDL file?

Hi,
i what to use a generated wsdl file from an erp system, to build a web service client with WSDL2Java (org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java).
I noticed, that services an bindings are missing, also a policy is included.
How can i include services and bindings in the wsdl and exclude the policy?
Thanks!

well, I assume you have SOAMANAGER.
choose your service & "Apply Selection" (very useless button btw)
select a binding in the dropdown box or create on if you do not have one yet
Click button "Show WSDL options" (actually they do not really look like buttons in WD; call it yellow blot)
Some extra config area is thrown onto your screen (without any sense for usability or design); Change the radio button for WSDL format from "WS policy" to "Standard"; make sure the first radio button group is on "True" for monolithic
Now click the link (why is this a link and no blot?) called "Display selected bindings WSDL URL"
an extra text field is again thrown onto your screen somwhere between the dropdown and the WSDL option config area containing an URL (get out your glasses if you don't see the sub-10pt-letters)
hope it helps,
anton

How can I include text lines in Service Invoice?

Dear Experts,
I realized unlike Item Invoice, Service Invoice does not have the "Type" column for me to include Text into the document?
How can I include a free text into 1 row of the Service Invoice? without any GL Account, Qty and Total input?
Thanks!
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Hi Chinho,
Try to use the Description(100 characters) Field
but if you want to add more characters at row level in single field.
Try to add a UDF(500 Characters) on Marketing Documents.

How can I use a subsummary field in a calcultaion field in a database ???

how can I use a subsummary field in a calcultaion field in a database???? I need to use the average I get in my sorted records to make another calculation. Can this be done???
powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Calculation fields work with data that is contained in a single record.
Summary fields use data from the same field(s) in a range of records.
Summary field results can't be used in further calculations.
You may be able to define a summary field to include the average AND the further calculation that you need, but only if you do not want the results to be placed into a particular record or records.
A detailed description of the data you want to use and the result you want to achieve might lead to some ideas on whether it can be done, and how to do it.

Barry

How can i make PO number field as a mandatery in sales order

Hi Friends,
can any one help me for the following requirement
how can i make PO number field as a mandatery in sales order
Thanks
Nitchel

Hi
You have to include the "Purchase Order" field in the Incompletion list.
Purchase order field is a Header data in the Sales order.
So you have to create an Incompletion Procedure for Sales document Header.
There include the field "Purchase order" field, assign the "Status group" to it.
You may activate the error/warning check box.
Assign the Incompletion Procedure to your Sales document type.
Go to Sales document type VOV8 and activate the "Incompletion message" field so that without entering PO number you can not proceed.
Now whenever you will create an order (using the order type where you have assigned the procedure), you have to fill up the PO field or else you can proceed.

How can I avoid the null values in cross tab?

How can I avoid the null values in cross tab?

Hello Anindita,
Let me explain you the problem in detail.
I have selected User and Program as rows in the cross tab. In Summarized Field I am counting the Programs.
In DB I can have both User and Program null.
Letu2019s take these scenarios...
1) For a User, Program can be null
2) For a Program, User can be null
3) And both can be null.
A null Program does not give problem since Cross tab does not count the null values and in my case too, it remove the Program which are null from the Cross tab because of the counting its doing on Program. Hence scenario 1 and 3 is not a Problem.
Problem comes in scenario 2 (For a Program, User can be null).
In this case since Program is not null it will get counted and will be grouped under null user but I donu2019t want to show the null user Grouping in my cross tab.
"Suppress empty rows" and "suppress empty colums" does not help.
Thanks & Regards,
Amrita

How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

I have some sample code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class JFrameTester{
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
          f.setSize( 500, 500 );
          ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
          MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
          f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          f.setVisible( true );
     public static class MyListener implements ActionListener{
          public MyListener() {}
          public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
               System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
               // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
}The output of the code is something like this:
hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
In a real-world application, no.
In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).
