Hi,
You can use the FM - GUI_DOWNLOAD to specify the headers. It can be done in the following manner -
TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_head, "Structure for header
             h(10) TYPE c,
             END OF ty_head.
DATA: it_head TYPE TABLE OF ty_head WITH HEADER LINE.
"Adding header details
it_head-h = 'Field1'.
APPEND it_head.
it_head-h = 'Field2'.
APPEND it_head.
it_head-h = 'Field3'.
APPEND it_head.
it_head-h = 'Field4'.
APPEND it_head.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
    filename                        = p_file
   filetype                        = 'ASC'
   write_field_separator           = 'X'
   header                          = '00' "<= note this
TABLES
    data_tab                        = it_tab
   fieldnames                      = it_head[] "<= Pass your header table here
EXCEPTIONS
   OTHERS                          = 1.
Hope this helps.

In above code how to capture 'EV_RC' when FM is called as background task.

Prakash,
CALL FUNCTION IN BACKGROUND TASK allows no IMPORTING parameters, so that your code will produce a syntax error.
The calling program can only handle errors of remote function calls (RFC) if these are either
- synchronous RFC (that is CALL FUNCTION ... DESTINATION ...) or
- asynchronous RFC (that is CALL FUNCTION STARTING NEW TASK ... DESTINATION ...).
Both synchronous and asynchronous RFC allow the capturing of errors by means of exceptions. But that is a different topic.

Rendering error message:File in use

Please help, I am trying to print a project to video but in the rendering process I get the error message: File in use by this or another application. I have no files in use in another application. MAC support is unfamiliar with the message and recommends uninstalling FCP and re-installing. Any other ideas as I am afraid of losing the project. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, G.

If you rerender does the error go away? I know this comes up with Tiger and spotlight. I just disabled spotlight for my media drives. It does not look like you are running Tiger, usless your auto info has not been updated.
If you cannot render at all, then is is not spotlight.
I would try braking the timeline down in 1/2s. keep going until you get a render that works. You may be able to track down the exact clip that is having a problem. Good luck

Deploying application with class files compiled using ojspc

Hi,
I want to deploy the application having class files compiled using ojspc in Oracle9iAS Release 2 rather than having JSP pages.
Thanks,
Pritam

Hi Manoj,
I have tried doing something like this.
If you want to try this out running on a NW2004s.You need to first download the entire project from perforce branch (
tc\webdynpro\clientserver)for NWDS 7.0 and then build the project locally in your java perspective.
During the local build of the project.It will also point out the dependent projects required by this project(clientserevr).
Once the project is build.
Create seperate external jars of the clientserver project and its dependent projects and save them locally.
Open your SDM manager,pick up this jar file from there and deploy it.
Once the deployment is over, the server is ready to run the application you created.
But this make your NWDS2004s to behave jus like NWDS7.0 .
Just a small suggestion ,instead of going through this tedious process you can shift to NWDS7.0 itself.

Capture error, Unknown File problems-..

I am capturing to disk using “Capture Now” from a Canon GL-2, to an external drive attached to my MacBook using FCP 5.1. I have done this many times, have not had problems with it before now, and have done it again since, so I know that the system is configured correctly.
At the end of a class I recorded, I pressed Escape to end the capture, and received the spinning ball. The computer was completely paralyzed, the mouse moved, but could not activate the dock, the clock stood still, I could not switch apps or force quit. After waiting for 15 minutes I decided to shut down by holding the power button. The resulting file from the capture was a file that contains all the info from the capture (I can tell from the file size), but since FCP could not correctly close the import, some vital information was not written to the file. This was an isolated incident, but I need the video from the capture.
I cannot find any way to make it a recognizable file, I have tried FCP, QuickTime, Compressor, iMovie, MPEG Streamclip, and others as well. Under info, the file type says that it is a quicktime movie as it should, but the duration, dimensions and preview do not show up.
Final Cut Pro Error message: File Error: Unknown File.
QuickTime: Error opening movie, the movie could not be opened.
Has anyone encountered this before? How can I recover the information from the file? The video contained in it is very important. Thank you for the help!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.0 GHz, 2 GB Ram

True, Canons don't do well with other firewire devices, I have discovered that out before using a different drive, but I do not think that it has anything to do with the problem in this case. As to why I can't recapture, by "capturing to disk" I meant going straight to disk, no tape, just directly into FCP from the GL-2. I thought I used the correct terminology for that, but I guess I should have been more specific. Since I can't go back in time to recapture (I'm not meaning to be sarcastic or harsh by saying it like that), I am stuck with only this corrupted file, that contains all of the video, but cannot be read (at least easily). So my only option is to somehow fix this file, extract the video, or forget about it....
Anything else? I don't know how to find documentation about the inner-workings of these files, so if someone knows these things, or if it is even possible, please help! Thank you!

How to get the incoming file name using JMS adapter and SOAP adapter

Hi Everybody,
   In one of my interface i need to get the file name of incoming flat file using JMS adapter at sender side. and then i am using xslt to convert it to IDOC and then posting to SAP IDOC.
my incoming filname are in this form price<DateTimestamp>.txt. when i do the tranformation this incoming file name should be part of one element in the IDOC which i am posting.
EX:
<IDOC
<REF>price<DateTimestamp>.txt</REF>
</IDOC>
Hope it is clear to everybody. I need your suggestion how i can capture this incoming file name and send it as part of IDOC.
Thanks
raj

If they are passing it in message id or correlation id,
you can access it using
<xsl:variable name="dynamic-conf"
        select="map:get($inputparam, 'DynamicConfiguration')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-key"
        select="key:create('http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/JMS', 'DCJMSMessageID/ DCJMSCorrelationID')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-value"
        select="dyn:get($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key)" />

How to capture a .gif file from a spectrum analyzer and save the file in PC

I want to capture a .gif file from a spectrum analyzer and save the file in PC, but I've got a problem when read data from the instrument. I'm not sure how to format the string got from the instrument , When I use "%s" or "%t" as the read string format the data got from the instrument is truncated.
my code are as follows, could anyone tell me where i am wrong?
char resultsArray[5000];
viPrintf(hSpectrumInstr, ":MMEMTORCR 'CICTURE.GIF'\n");
viQueryf(hSpectrumInstr, ":MMEMATA? 'CICTURE.GIF'\n", "%t", resultsArray);

How to call Fortran .dll file that using other library files?

Hi,
I am trying to do some arkward tasks using LabView, and I am desperately need help....
A little bit background:
1. My co-worker has some code written in Fortran, where he called other libraries (many from CERNLAB or PAW). Those stuffs are pretty powerful in mathmatical calculation and simulations.
2. In some of my LabView code, I need to call his Fortran source code in order to do some complicated calculations. I have no capablility to translate his Fortran code to Labview (or is it even possible??), so we end up with trying to use "Call library function node" where I just provide input/outputs to communicate with his code. The idea sounds simple enough?
3. We complie the Fortran code into .dll, and then specifiy the dll in "Call library function node". The first try with a very simple Fortran code, something like c = a+b*a, was sucessful. The dll file and Call lib function worked good. It's sort of proved the concept.
4. Now I am trying more complicated Fortran code (say Test.dll), which calling other library (.lib files) that using typical "call xxx(a,b,c)" line, and my nightmare started.... It seems nothing was excuted when I call Test.dll in LabView.
Questions:
1. How do LabView know if the Test.dll code needs functions from other .lib files? Do I need to copy all the .lib files to a specific folder?
2. When I create .dll file, for LabView to be able to use it, are there any special requirement on the way the .dll is compiled?
3. Seems there is mismatch btw the data type in Fortran and LabView. For example, LabView's Signed 8-bit Integer seems different with a integer in Fortran. How can i know the correlation btw data type in different langurage, i.e. LabView vs Fortran?
4. Are there any good examples that I can take a look?
I would highly appreicate any suggestions/helps!
Rgds,
Harry

You are aware that Intel Visual Fortran is the successor to Compaq Visual Fortran (I think you made a mistype with the Virtual)? So an upgrade might be at its place.
Anyhow I'm really not familiar with Fortran at all, but lib files are usually compiled into an EXE or DLL and not loaded dynamically. 1)
So there should be no problem with locating those libs. What most likely is a problem are other DLL dependencies such as any Fortran Runtime library or possibly other third party DLLs the more advanced code in your DLL might be using.
Typically most compilers can be configured to link the runtime library code statically into the DLL, as altenbach reports for the Intel compiler, otherwise you must make sure to install the redistributable Fortran Runtime Library for your compiler. Besides that you must make sure to find out what other runtime dependencies your code might have and install them.
1) One exception I know of is LabWindows CVI which allows to also load lib files dynamically. This is supposedly a legacy feature from LabWindows for DOS, which allowed that feature to simulate dynamic module loading in order to swap modules at runtime to work around the 640k memory limitation of DOS.

How to capture error message from standard function module

Dear friends
when i execute standard function module in finance , i am getting error message , pls check the below screen shot,
how to capture the below error message so that i have display in my webdynpro component
Thanks
Vijaya

Hello Vijaya,
Incase of BAPI's they have a return table parameter T_RETURN. Just read that return table to get the error message.
Incase of normal function modules, there will be exceptions raised for the message used inside the function module. Just read the sy-subrc after the FM and based on the sy-subrc value find the respective exception raised.
May be you can try like this, whenever the message is raised it will be stored in the system variable.
CALL FM.
check for the system variables.
sy-msgid = Message ID of the latest message raised.
sy-msgno = message number of the latest message raised.
sy-msgty = message type of the latest message raised.
sy-msgv1 = variable1 of the latest message raised.
sy-msgv2 = variable2 of the latest message raised.
sy-msgv3 = variable3 of the latest message raised.
sy-msgv4 = variable4 of the latest message raised.

How can I convert .mov files for use with other apps?

When loading movies taken on a friend's digital camera to my PC, the video files were saved as Quicktime .mov files. I am now unable to pull those files into any other software program (I want to put them onto a CD or DVD and play on external players.) How can I convert .mov files to a .wmv or .avi or mpeg?

Kodak Digital Camera QuickTime MOV Problems
After battling a number of serious problems with the videos taken by my new Kodak Digital Camera, I decided to write up this page so that anyone searching the web would find out the true answers without as much grief!
I’ve also made some other comments about my experience with the camera, in case anyone was considering buying a Kodak camera in the near future.
I bought the camera just before Christmas 2004 in the US. At the time of writing, it is a pretty good model for domestic use—about 5.2 megapixels, costing about US$400 (or AU$600 back here in Australia). From a company as reputable as Kodak, I expected no problems.
The first disappointing thing was that the spring inside the spring-loaded battery clip, inside the camera, came loose within days. It proved impossible to reattach it without completely dismantling the camera, which (despite my engineering qualifications) I was not willing to do. This would usually have been a warranty item, but Kodak’s warranty does not extend to other countries. I’ve since had to jam cardboard in to keep the battery clip engaged, and have taped the battery bay shut to avoid it opening accidentally when taking the camera out of the case. This works fine with the docking station (an extra AU$100!), but it means I can no longer charge the battery without the docking station (since you need to take it out to charge it). I was not impressed!
The camera takes good photos, and I have no complaint with that. The controls and camera menus are well-designed. The large display is excellent.
The EasyShare software is not as easy to use as it looks, has a habit of crashing, has a web update program that is always running in the background of Windows, and transferring images is nowhere as easy or quick as it should be. I’ve now uninstalled it completely, and simply copy the photos directly from the device. (If the camera memory is nearly full, and you just want to transfer the last few photos, then it’s impossible to use the EasyShare software to browse the camera’s photos without it actually downloading the whole lot through the USB cable—and it takes forever! Copying from the device directly doesn’t hit this bug.)
The capability to take video using the camera was a great attraction when I selected it, and, if it worked properly, it would make it quite a handy little camcorder in its own right. With a 512 MB memory card in it, over an hour of video can be recorded at Video-CD quality (320 x 240 24fps video, 8 kHz audio). It’s not full digital video, but it would still be a pretty good feature for a US$400 camera. If it worked.
The first disappointing thing about taking videos is that the optical zoom cannot be adjusted while the camera is recording. It can only be adjusted between video sequences. I don’t know why this restriction was made in the design.
The real problems, however, start when you try to do anything with the video clips captured by the camera. Kodak has chosen to capture the videos in QuickTime format. This is fine—QuickTime is, technically, excellent—except that there is no simple way to convert QuickTime MOV files to AVI or MPEG or VCD. The Kodak software comes with a QuickTime player, so you can see the video clips on the computer you installed the software on—and they look good. Problem is that you can’t just dump those MOV files onto your Video-CD creator (it will usually want AVI or MPEG files).
It takes some time to realise that Kodak have not even bothered to include any software with the camera that can convert these MOV files to a more useful format. This is a serious PR blunder, and anyone bitten by this is unlikely to go near the Kodak brand ever again.
After some web searching, owners of these cameras generally find that the best (only?) freeware solution to convert MOV to AVI is Bink and Smacker’s RADtools program.
RADtools is amazingly powerful for the price (i.e. free), but it hits two fundamental problems with Kodak Digital Camera MOV video files, that are the fault of the Kodak camera, not RADtools. (I know this because every other MOV converter hits the same problems—except one, as you will see below.)
The first problem is that the sound cannot be converted properly. When you convert any Kodak MOV files, there is an “aliasing” of the sound at the upper frequencies. This is a technical description—you get a whispery, tinny, C3PO type of echo to everything. It really destroys the quality of the video clips (especially bad when I am trying to capture priceless memories of my 4- and 7-year-old sons—I don’t want their voices destroyed for all time).
Every conversion program I tried ended up with the same audio problem. I concluded that it is something strange in the way the Kodak cameras store the MOV files.
Strangely enough, I noticed that the QuickTime player didn’t distort the audio like this. The audio sounds just fine through QuickTime. More on this shortly.
The second, more serious problem is that RADtools could not properly convert some of the video clips at all. (This problem only affected less than 10% of the clips I originally filmed, but most of those clips were very short—less than 20 seconds. It seems that the probability of this problem gets worse, the longer the clip.) RADtools would misreport the number of frames in the clip, and would stretch out a small number of frames of video (in slow motion) to match the length of the audio.
Again, I confirmed that this is a property of some of the MOV files stored by the camera. Other conversion tools also had problems with the same MOV clips.
After more angst, I found a number of websites in which frustrated owners of these Kodak cameras have reported the exact same problems.
It was only then that I discovered that QuickTime itself can convert MOV files to AVI. Believe it or not, it’s built into the QuickTime Player that Kodak supplies, or that you can download free from apple.com. The problem is that you can’t use it unless you pay Apple to upgrade to QuickTime Pro.
After realising that this would probably be the only way to get decent audio for these clips, I paid the AU$59 to Apple Australia to get the licence key that enables the extra “Pro” menu options in QuickTime.
Sure enough, you can “Export” any MOV file to a number of formats, including AVI. And guess what? The audio comes out fine!
So, the first piece of advice I can give is: pay Apple the US$29 (or whatever amount it is in your country) to upgrade QuickTime to QuickTime Pro.
From here, however, there are still a few snags to untangle.
The first is that the default settings for Exporting to AVI don’t give a great result. It defaults to the Cinepak codec, medium quality. This looks terrible compared to the original QuickTime movie. Even on maximum quality, that codec just doesn’t give good results.
I finally found that the best option is to use the Intel Indeo Video 4.4 codec, set on maximum quality. This creates AVI files that are 10 to 20 times larger than the original MOV files, but the quality is there. If (like me) you only want the AVI files so you can dump them into your Video-CD program, then you want to keep the quality as high as possible in this first step. The extra hard disk space is not really a concern. When your VCD program converts the AVI files to MPEG, it will compress them to the usual VCD size.
Now for the biggest snag: those problem MOV files are still a problem, even for QuickTime Pro. Unbelievably, these Kodak cameras are spitting out MOV files which have some sort of technical flaw in their data specifications. QuickTime is able to play them back fine—and that seems to be all that the Kodak engineers really checked. However, if QuickTime Pro tries to export them, then when the progress bar gets to the end, it never finishes. It just keeps going. If you check the output folder with Explorer, and keep hitting F5 to update the file listing, you can see the file getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger. It never stops.
That this happens even for QuickTime itself (the native format for these files) confirms that the problem is with the software built into these Kodak cameras. It would be nice it they issued a patch or a fix. I couldn’t find one.
Fortunately, there is a “workaround” for this problem. I found it when trolling the net trying to find solutions to all these problems. The workaround is to use QuickTime Pro’s cut and paste facility. Open the problem MOV file, then press Ctrl-A (the standard key combination for “select all”—in this case it selects the entire film clip, as you can see by the grey selection of frames at the bottom of the player). Then hit Ctrl-C (i.e. copy, which in this case copies all the frames, but not the incorrect data structure in the original MOV file). Now hit Ctrl-N (i.e. new, in this case a new MOV file or player). In this new player, press Ctrl-V (i.e. paste). Now you have a new version of the MOV file with the bad data structure exorcised. You can save this under a new name, but make sure you specify “Make movie self-contained”—otherwise, it will simply be a link to the original (bad) MOV file, which you are probably going to delete once you save the exorcised version. (You also cannot overwrite the original file, because it needs to access that to make the “self-contained” movie. You need to give it a slightly different name, save it “self-contained”, then delete the original and rename the new copy back to what you wanted it to be. A pain, I agree, but at least the **** thing works—finally!)
The exorcised MOV file can now be used to Export to AVI format. (I also keep all the MOV files on a separate CD, in case I want to reconvert them to a different format in the future. I figure it’s better keeping the exorcised ones than the haunted ones.)
So I hope that all this answers a few of your questions. No, you weren’t being incredibly stupid.

when i execute my program one excel sheet is getting generated.for this i have used a fm 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT'.i want to capture that excel file name and i want to pass it to next function module as input.bcz i should not do any hard coding like passing the filename directly into the function module.
anybody have any suggestion for this.
