How can I pass a variable to a form to pre-fill form fields on load?

Hi all,
I am developing a Windows Form Applicaiton in C# to register new users and walk them through a signup process.The application does a lot of other things as well. This part of it collects their personal information and saves the data to the database. Part of the process requires the user to complete a pdf form (W-4 tax form). I would like to pre-populate as many form fields as possible for them when the pdf launches, and not have them enter anything to get their data to prefill the form fields.
My issue is I can't figure out how to get the pdf to know who is loading the form so I can do the SQL select and populate the form fields. I need to do a select * from Table where UniqueID="xxxxx" but how can I get the form to know on load what "xxxxx" is so it grabs the users personal info from the database?
I have searched high and low and found nothing on how to do this without doing some hoakey hack outside of the application or pdf doc.
I am creating/editing the form in LiveCycle Designer 8 and am loading the form for use by the user in acrobat 9.
Any help,ideas, or nudging in the right direction would be much appreciated!

I found this solution:
REPORT YRT_TEST4.
data: r_range type range of matnr.
perform test changing r_range.
*& Form test
form test changing p_r_range like r_range.
endform. " test

How can I pass environment variables to the child process?

How can I pass environment variables to the child process? This is what I tried and it didn't work.
     static public void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
          ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-cp", ".", "Child");
          Map<String, String> map = b.environment();
          map.put("custom.property", "my value");
             b.redirectErrorStream(true);
          Process p = b.start();
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
          String line = null;
          while (null != (line = reader.readLine())) {
               System.out.println(line);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("The value of custom.property is : " + System.getProperty("custom.property"));
     }and the result is:
The value of custom.property is : null

Complete test:
     static public void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
          ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-Dcustom.property=my property value", "-cp", ".", "Child");
          Map<String, String> map = b.environment();
          map.put("custom.property", "my environment value");
             b.redirectErrorStream(true);
          Process p = b.start();
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
          String line = null;
          while (null != (line = reader.readLine())) {
               System.out.println(line);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("Property value of custom.property is : " + System.getProperty("custom.property"));

How can I pass a variable(s) between two swfs?

Hello all,
I was wondering if it is possible to pass variables between
two standalone swfs that are not being hosted on a webserver.
I am creating a flash projector to go on a CD Rom and want to
load another swf into the _root level and in the process, want to
pass a variable or two to the "new" swf that is being loaded. Any
help or insights that you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your help.
Tim

if by _root level you mean you're loading something into
_level0 you can't won't be able to use the localconnection. the
sharedobject is your only option.

How can I pass a variable to an applet in JSP?

I want to invoke an Applet in JSP and pass a variable( ie. port) to the Applet. I do as follows:
<applet code="best.Applet1.class" width=400 height=300 >
<param name=port1 value=port>
</applet>
in Applet1.java , I use getParameter("port1"),yet I got character string "port" ,not the value of port(i.e. 100).
How can I get 100 not "port"? Thanks!!!

<param name=port1 value=<%= port %>>

How can i pass a variable's value from PR to PFR

Dear all,
hope you are fine.
i would like to pass a variable's value from PR to PFR.
how can i do that.
please suggest.
in PR:
String transactionId = (String) vo_trans.first().getAttribute("Getnexttrans");
i would like to get this value to PFR.

Mofizur,
You can achieve the same using Session variable.
If u are not executing the VO after PR. Then you will be able to get the same value as u are using in PR
String transactionId = (String) vo_trans.first().getAttribute("Getnexttrans");
Note - You have a few of the threads left open, mark it as answered if solved.

How can I pass a variable value from first jsp page to thired jsp page

In my program ,threr are three jsp pages . I want the first pages's variable value in to thired page .How can I acess.
I used the request.getparameter() ,but when I print the value , null value is getting .

request parameters only last for one request.
To save them longer than that you need to save them somewhere.
Couple of alternatives
1 - store them to session
session.setAttribute("username", request.getParameter("username");
2 - create a hidden field on page 2 and store the value from page 1 there. When you submit page2, you can get it on page3 with request.getParameter again.
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<%= request.getParameter("username") %>">

How can I pass a variable between JSP and Role Form

I need to pass a variable from (a copy of) applicationmodify.jsp to the IDM Role Form so that the variable is available within the Role Form at display. We've tried getAttribute and setAttribute modifying both the Role Form and the applicationmodify JSP and can get the form to the role form but not accessible but have had no other success. Has anyone had any success in doing this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How can I pass Global Variable from Page1 to Page2

I have the following senario.
Pag1 - report is based on following PL\SQL
declare
g1 varchar2(100);
begin
g1 = select * from emp where dept = 10;
return g1;
end;
Now I have Page2 - based on following PL\SQL
declare
g2 varchar2(100);
begin
g2 := g1; -- here i want to use variable g1???
return g2;
end;
My question is - How can I use variable g1 from P1 in my new page P2.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the clarification.
I did exactly the same, created a new Region with HTML (PL\SQL) and got the output. it was fine.
Now when I am using exactly the same code in a Report (PL/SQL function returning a SQL Query), I am getting the following error.
DECLARE
g VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
g := 'This is a test string';
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('G_SQL_STRING', g);
htp.p(v('G_SQL_STRING'));
END;
ERR-1002 Unable to find item ID for item "FLOW_SECURITY_GROUP_ID" in application "4000".
ERR-1002 Unable to find item ID for item "G_SQL_STRING" in application "4000".
I am doing the same thing, nothing changed....only difference is in 1st case I am using HTML (PL\SQL) Region and in 2nd case using the REPORT Region (PL/SQL function returning a SQL Query)
thanks,
deepak

How can I pass a variable from Test Stand to CVI by reference

Hi!
I can't to pass numeric or boolean variable from Test Stand (for example: FileGlobals.StopFlag) into the step (CVI function).
Function prototype:
void __declspec(dllexport) __cdecl PC2_WaitWhileResponceAppear(tTestData *testData, tTestError *testError, int *iStopFlag).
When variable has bin changed I can't see this change from my function.
CVI 2010, Test Stand 2010
Can anybody help me?

Hey Rombar,
It is certainly possible to pass variables by reference; for example, if you go to <TestStand Directory>/Examples/Demo/C and open the computer.seq file, you can see one of the example sequences that uses CVI modules. If you click on one of these steps, you'll see that some of the parameters, such as the error information, is passed with pointers. This is a pass by reference.
To help narrow this down, it'd be good for us to figure out a few things about how the code is run. First, if you go to Configure > Adapters, select the CVI adapter and choose Configure, you can see options for this adapter. Do you have it configured to run in an external instance of CVI or as an in-process call?
Also, if you're wanting to see a change made in TestStand in your external code, this makes me think that you're wanting to run the code and then continue to execute your TestStand sequence while the code runs. How did you configure this behavior? For example, are you calling this code as a separate sequence in a new thread, or are you using another method to run this code while the sequence continues to run?
Finally, if we could see a screenshot of how you're configuring the parameters on the TestStand step, that might be helpful as well.

How do you pass a variable from one form to another

Sorry, I am new at this.
I have an ID on one form and I want to pass it to another form and then populate a text field on the second form. How is this accomplished.

There are various ways to accomplish this depending on your applications' needs.
Read up on the manual, especially on session state management http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/concept.htm#CIHCFHBD
This will get you familiar with the basics of url syntax and and session state after which you will have no problem implementing what your asking
