How can I populate a dynamic form from Excel data (beginner)

I am reasonably certain this is beginner-level but I cannot seem to figure out how to do this. I have data in an ecxel file and I would like to import that data into a form using LS. I need to distribute the unique data to each recipient. (I have included an example below) I would really appreciate any advice. If there is a tutorial that explains this I would be happy to go through that. Thanks in advance.

I would like to send a template e-mail to each sales rep at "PC.com" that says:
Dear <SalesRep>,
<Customer> has the following equipment:
<Account No> | <Customer> | <Equipment>
I would like all the data for each customer to go to the sales rep. For instance, Jim should get an e-mail stating that "Pear Computing" has two items, and a separate e-mail stating that "Orange Computing" has two items. What I want to avoid is the MS Word mail merge solution that equates to Jim getting 4 emails. I would like the equipment to be grouped by customer number or account number. I would prefer to have a dynamic layout with flowed page as the number of items per customer will vary.
PLEASE HELP!

How can I prevent Safari/iCloud Keychain from saving data in our password field?

We have a web-based management system where administrators can set and update passwords for individual users. While I love iCloud keychain personally, the problem we are finding is that if the user, once prompted by Safari to Save the password in iCloud Keychain for Autofill, actually clicks 'Save Password', then our page wants to autofill that same password for any selected user or newly added user (and since we don't allow duplicates, constant errors result).
So the basic question: is there a way in HTML or Javascript to set form fields - or an entire form or div - to be ignored by iCloud Keychain, even if they are username or password fields.
We know we could just tell all our Safari users to disable in preferences with a pop-up banner, but that would be unfortunate (and IE-like)
(If this is the wrong place to find this type of info, any clue appreciated. Naturally we've searched a bunch already)

Can I remove my iCloud Keychain from Apple's servers?
Yes. Follow these steps, starting on any one of your iOS devices or Macs that is using iCloud Keychain:
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain and turn off “Approve with Security Code”.
Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account details.
Deselect “Allow approving using security code”.
Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
After you complete these steps, your keychain data will remain locally on your devices, but changes to your keychain information will not push to your other devices or the cloud unless you turn iCloud Keychain back on. If you want keychain data to push to all of your devices, but not to the cloud, turn on iCloud Keychain on each device as described earlier in this document, but skip the step to create an iCloud Security Code.

How can I fill a pdf form with Excel?

I have a pdf form and a set of Excel dates. How can I fill the form with this dates?
Is there any way to transform excel dates into a fdf-File?
Thank You for helping
Hans

I see. That's possible, in theory, but it requires using a complicated custom-made script.
I would suggest using that Mail Merge option that's available in some versions of Excel to produce multiple single-page files, then flatten all of them (using an Action), and then merge them to a single file, to achieve the same result with much less effort.

How can I truncate the time zone from a Date object without using String?

Does anyone know how to truncate the time zone portion of a Date object and maintain the object as Date, NOT String?
I just need the date, i.e., 05/02/2008 as a Date.
Thanks.
JDev1

Although you haven't said so, I expect you must be having some problem with that?
My wild guess: the server is creating a Date object and setting its time component to zero (midnight). Of course since Date doesn't have a timezone, that would be midnight in the server's timezone. Then you are interpreting that date as if it were in your timezone, and since you are west of the server, it appears to be 11 PM or 9 PM or something on the day before.
What we do is to send our timezone to the server and tell the server to use it when creating the Date object. Alternatively, when formatting the Date object you could use a SimpleDateFormat with the server's timezone applied. There are no doubt other solutions that could be provided if we had a description of your problem.

How can I populate and unordered list from an sql table

Instead of hardcoding a static menu using an unordered list, I would like to populate it from a table
(just two fields, MenuID,MenuDesc) so that the menu can grow or shrink depending on what is in the table.
Tried googling this but cannot make head or tail of php server side recursive scripts, datareaders etc
Couild some kind person just spell it out for me:
<ul>
     <li>Form.MenuDesc<li>
     <li>Form.MenuDesc<li>
     <li>Form.MenuDesc<li>
      etc
<ul>
many thanks

Hi Adam,
Many thanks indeed for taking the trouble to respond.
As you probably know, I'm a self taught amateur, so I need things spelled out.
Presumably, you mean something like
<CFQuery datasource"xxx" name="GetMenuData">
      select MenuDesc from Menus
</CFQuery>
<CFOutput>
      <ul id="MenuBar">
            <CFLoop query="GetMenuData">
                  <li>#GetMenuData.Menudesc#</li>
            </CFLoop>
      </ul>
</CFOutput>

How can I import contacts into phone from Excel fi...

I have an N97 Mini. And I have an Excel file on my computer which lists my contacts. In separate columns I have their first names, last names, phone numbers, email addresses.I would like to import this file into my phone's contacts in one go, i.e. without having to enter each person manually. Does anyone know who this can be done?
(Also, in another folder I have a profile photograph of each contact. Is there some way I could also - in one go - add a profile picture to each contact in my phone's contacts?)
FYI: I have Ovi Suite and PC Suite installed on my computer, but it's not clear whether they could help with this. Thanks.

Exporting .csv ( comma seperated value) and Excel files to Outlook and then sync through PCSuite is possible. For the pictures, I'm not sure.

How can I remove dropdown calendar menu from date/time field.

I set up a javascript calculation based on the input of a date field. As long as the user enters the date manually the script works fine. If user attempts to select date by drop down menu then script will not work. How can I remove the calendar feature from the Date field?

You may have to wire custom script to get you what you need. That would probably work on 'exit' event.
Just you give you better Idea here is some thing I have on a date field. If user types his own date instead of picking from calendar this code checks whether it is valid date or not and returns to the same field either they enter valid date or clear the field.
This is FormCalc script. You may get the idea how this works and make it work for you using the same logic either in FormCalc or JavaScript.

How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?

Hi Gurus;
I'm using dynamic search help in my program.
I want to get multi column values from search help. But I dont know solution for this issue.
I'm using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM.
How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?
Thanks.

Believe it or not, the same FM worked for me in a dynpro. I will try to explain here how it works in custom screen and then you can do your work for other screens or program types. I am not going to write my actual work but will explain in general.
I have 4 fields (FLD1, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4) and i made the search based on FLD2 and when user click on a line (could be any field), then this would bring the line on to the screens.
There are like 3 steps.
You have your value_tab for my fields FLD1, FLD2, FLD3 and FLD4. This is just the data that we pass into the FM. (data: IT_VALTAB type table of ZVAL_TABLE)
Next map the screen fields into an internal table (data: It_dynpfld type table of dselc ). I also have other internal tables defined (just to keep it straight, i will be putting here) data: It_return type standard table of ddshretval.
Next step is to call the function module. Make sure you have values in IT_VALTAB.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
exporting
        retfield        = 'FLD2'
        value_org       = 'S'
      tables
        value_tab       = It_VALTAB
        return_tab      = It_return
        dynpfld_mapping = It_dynpfld
      exceptions
        parameter_error = 1
        no_values_found = 2
        others          = 3.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
      with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    else.
      perform get_selected_fields tables It_return.
    endif.
The code within the perform GET_SELECTED_FIELDS - We need to map the result fields after user selects it. The code goes like this. This is step is to update the dynpro fields.
I need a internal table as well as a work area here. like,
data: lt_fields type table of dynpread,
        la_fields type dynpread.
field-symbols: <fs_return> type ddshretval.
so fill out LT_FIELDS from the IT_RETURN table
loop at lt_return assigning <fs_return>.
    la_fields-fieldname = <fs_return>-retfield.
    la_fields-fieldvalue = <fs_return>-fieldval.
    append la_fields to lt_fields.
    clear: la_fields.
endloop.
Call the FM to update the dynpro
call function 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
    exporting
      dyname               = sy-repid
      dynumb               = '1002' "This is my screen number. You could use 1000 for selection screen (hope so)
    tables
      dynpfields           = lt_fields
    exceptions
      invalid_abapworkarea = 1
      invalid_dynprofield = 2
      invalid_dynproname   = 3
      invalid_dynpronummer = 4
      invalid_request      = 5
      no_fielddescription = 6
      undefind_error       = 7
      others               = 8.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
            with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
good luck
