How to capture user inputs from Enter_query command?

When the user enters query(F7) and inputs some field parameters...how do I capture those variables after they execute the query?
Example:
-Table ABC has a column called NAME
-They enter '%BOB% in the NAME field
-They press F8 (enter-query)
I've tried using:
message( get_block_property('ABC', DEFAULT_WHERE)) to see what's in there and it returns a null. I know that if I hit F7 twice, I can see '%BOB%' displayed in the field. Is there a way to see this without hitting F7 twice?
Thanks.

-Table ABC has a column called NAME
-They enter '%BOB% in the NAME field
-They press F8 (enter-query)
? F8 = execute-query
however. Use the PRE-QUERY and write your message there and show the value of :ABC.NAME
that's it
Gerd
PS: Without hitting two times F7 you have NO chance to get the value of %BOB%. this is an internal cache mechanism of the forms runtime and only hitting two times F7 gives you the information which forms has remembered in a local cache.

How to accept user inputs from sql script

I want to create Tablespace useing sql script , but the location of the data file I need accept from user . (to get the location of the data file ) .
How can I accept user input from pl/sql .
Example :
CREATE TABLESPACE TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILE 'H:\ORACLE_DATA\FRSDB\TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;here I need to accept location of the datafile from user ie : 'H:\ORACLE_DATA\FRSDB\TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'

Hi,
Whenenever you write dynamic SQL, put the SQL text into a variable. During development, display the variable instead of executing it. If it looks okay, then you can try executing it in addition to displaying it. When you're finished testing, then you can comment out or delete the display.
For example:
SET     SERVEROUTPUT     ON
DECLARE
    flocation     VARCHAR2 (300);
    sql_txt     VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
    SELECT '&Enter_The_Path'
    INTO    flocation
    FROM    dual;
    sql_txt := 'CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILE' || flocation || ' "\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf" ' || '
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL ';
    dbms_output.put_line (sql_txt || ' = sql_txt');
-- EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_txt;
END;
/When you run it, you'll see something like this:
Enter value for enter_the_path: c:\d\fubar
old   5:     SELECT '&Enter_The_Path'
new   5:     SELECT 'c:\d\fubar'
CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
     DATAFILEc:\d\fubar
"\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf"
     SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE
UNLIMITED
     EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL = sql_txt
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.This makes it easy to see that you're missing a space after the keyword DATAFILE. There are other errrors, too. For example, the path name has to be inside the quotes with the file name, without a line-feed between them, and the quotes should be single-quotes, not double-quotes.
Is there some reason why you're using PL/SQL? In SQL, you can just say:
CREATE TABLESPACE SRC_TSPACE_INDIA LOGGING
DATAFILE '&Enter_The_Path\SRC_TSPACE_INDI_D1_01.dbf'
SIZE 500M AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 1280K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;though I would use an ACCEPT command to given a better prompt.
Given that you want to use PL/SQL, you could assign the value above to sql_txt. If you need a separate PL/SQL variable for flocation, then you can assign it without using dual, for example:
DECLARE
    flocation     VARCHAR2 (300)     := '&Enter_The_Path';The dual table isn't needed very much in PL/SQL.

How to capture user input for customer exit processing?

I need to calculate the number of working days elapsed in the current fiscal quarter BASED on the USER INPUT on the reporting front. i.e., say the fiscal quarter started on 1 July 2005 and if the user enters 10 July 2005, I should get the value 8 (Assume that Monday through Friday are all workdays). If the user enters 12 July 2005, I should get 10. I have written customer exits and know how to use factory calendar, but <b>THE CHALLENGE</b> is how do I <b>CAPTURE</b> the user input and use it in my exit? During the varible definition, if I select the check box "Ready for input" then the customer exit is not being processed and unless I check that box I can't get a user entry! If I look at the import values in the customer exit, I see i_t_var_range with type rrs0_t_var_range. My strong feeling is that this parameter gets the user input, but I am unable to use it as the customer exit is not being called if I make the user to input the data. Based on the empirical evidence, I felt that user input and customer exit can not co-exist!! Please somebody prove me wrong and let me know how can I use the user input to process my "customer-exit" variable. I would really appreciate any input from the BW community here.

Hi Sameer,
Most likely, I'm missing something, but I think that the answer is very simple.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'YOUR_CUSTOMER_EXIT_VAR'.
IF I_STEP = 2. After selecting of input variable
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'USER_INPUT_VAR'.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(4).
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
In this typical user exit coding you have a user entered value in LOC_VAR_RANGE (originally in I_T_VAR_RANGE) and you construct your user exit variable value in E_T_RANGE.
Best regards,
Eugene

Requesting user input from UNIX command window

New to this forum, and relatively new to Java......question for you......
Currently, I am able to request a .txt file from a user in my unix command window by having them type in the following command:
java Game (nameOfTextFile).txt
with the following code:
public class Game {
public static void main(String[ ] args) {
try{
reader = args[0];
catch(Exception g){
System.out.println(g);
where 'reader' holds the .txt file.
What I would like to do is as soon as the user types in the command:
java Game
it gives them the line:
"Please type the file to be input"
and at this point they type in:
(nameOfTextFile).txt
and then I can start working with the text file.
Any ideas?
Thanks

public class Game {
public static void main(String[ ] args) {
try{
reader = args[0];
catch(Exception g){
System.out.println(g);
}This class will not compile. The variable 'reader' is not declared anywhere.
You could create a shell program. When the user enters the name of the shell program at the command prompt, it gives them the prompt to enter the file to be input. And then from within the shell program you call the java program with the name of the file.

Capturing user input from a message choice..urgent!!!!!!!!!!

Hi All,
I am working on OAF 5.7H with a Travel Module for a UN organisation .
I have a pge in which I have table Region.In the table i have a message choice Box displaying different Travel Types.In the same row i have a check box with Yes or No value
my requirement is ,whenever the user selects some particular travel types(the page gets refreshed) from the message choice,the check box should be rendered or hidden.
For example
if the user selects travel type MISSION in the message choice ,the page refreshes and the check box shud not be rendered
and
if the user selects travel type HOME LEAVE,the page refreshes and the check box shud be rendered.
But my problem is i am not able to capture the user selection of the message choice and at the same time render the chek box true or false.
If i kan capture the user selection of the message choice values while the page refreshes then at the same time i kan play around with the chekBox.
First of all is this possible and if kan anyone give me a little clue.

Thanks Ram for your reply..I did this but it doesnt seem to work..Because now i realize the problem is somewhere else.
I have a Table RN as i said.
In that table region all the componenets are added in stack layout,i mean to say every stack layout region gets added coloumn wise to the table.
Now i have a Add Anather Row Button.
My requirement is :
Suppose the user selects Travel Type Mission on first row,The page gets refreshed and the chekBox doesnt get rendered.
Now if the user hits Add Anather Row Button and creatres a new row and selects the travel type to be HOME LEAVE whereby the check box shud get rendered in that row.
But the problem is this is not happening.
i am doing as u said..
Now if i choose a Travel type in the second row which shud hide the chekbox then in all the rows the Check Box gets hidden,even in the previous row where it shud be rendered.
This is happening because each of the stack layout region conataining the chek boxes get added as coloumn to the entire table,
So if i do any manipulation on the chek box it gets defaulted for all the rows.
I dont know what to do ..
i need to handl eit row wise.
I am iterating through the row set to capture the travel types in each row.
But on the row set i cannot set any web bean property.
somebody please tell me ho wto crack this.
Thanks

How can i get input from user in Workflows

Hello professionals,

Owb - Capturing user input classes

Hi,
I'm using OWB 9.2.0.3 and I'm looking at creating some OMB*Plus scripts to deploy (instead of using the GUI)
I noticed in the sample code (on OTN) for OWB, some classes for "capturing user inputs" in OMB*Plus. I think that this would be a great addition to my scripts (instead of hard coding userid and password).
How do I get this to work? What do I do with these classes? where to put them? and would you have any documentation on how to code this in OMB*Plus.
Thank you very much.
Guy LaBelle

Guy,
The description is missing... and I will submit this right away to be added. The link will be with the location of the downloadable file. Will be there within the next couple of days.
Now, without the screenshots (hope this helps to some extend):
The omb_params zip file contains classes for a generic modal dialog that can be used from OMBPlus for capturing user input. It will support parameters that are text or passwords. If you unzip this file into owb\bin\admin you can try the dialog from OMBPlus.
The Java can be invoked by calling as follows;
# java::new oracle.owb.samples.CaptureParams {
# display_string_list display string for dialog ie. {"Hostname", "Port", "Service"}
# param_name_list to query after dialog is complete ie. {"vhostname", "vport", "vservice"}
# param_type_list STRING or STRINGHIDE or list of tokens (comma separated) for combo box
# title_string_for_dialog Title for the dialog.
# dialog_prompt_string Prompt string for dialog.
or
# java::new oracle.owb.samples.CaptureParams {
# display_string_list display string for dialog
# param_name_list to query after dialog is complete
# param_type_list STRING or STRINGHIDE or list of tokens (comma separated) for combo box
# title_string_for_dialog
# dialog_prompt_string
# ok_button_string
# cancel_button_string
or
# java::new oracle.owb.samples.CaptureParams
# title_string_for_dialog
# dialog_prompt_string
# ok_button_string
# cancel_button_string
There is a Java accessor methiod named 'okButton' that will return a boolean (in Java), the Tcl shell will return 0 for false, and 1 for true. This can be used to determine if the user has pressed the OK or cancel button. Since the user can define the text for these buttons, they can be used for Yes/No style questions for example.
5.1 Example to capture user input;
The following dialog can be created with the Tcl below;
The Tcl to create this dialog is show below, this creates a modal dialog to capture the user input for username, password (in password field), connection string and an option selectable from a combo box;
set pars [java::new {String[][]} 3 {{"User" "Password" "Connect" "Option"} {"user" "pass" "connect" "option"} {"STRING"
"STRINGHIDE" "STRING" "thick,thin"}} ]
set jtitle "OWB Migration"
set jprompt "Please enter migration properties:"
set paramList [java::new oracle.owb.samples.CaptureParams $pars $jtitle $jprompt]
# To check whether OK or cancel is pressed used retrieve okButton/cancelButton on object, then check value (0 - false, 1 - true)
set okpressed [$paramList okButton]
# To retrieve the parameters invoke getValue passing the parameter name, the user is stord in a variable (for example);
set userval [$paramList getValue "user"]
set passval [$paramList getValue "pass"]
set connectval [$paramList getValue "connect"]
set optionval [$paramList getValue "option"]
5.2 Example to create a question-style dialog;
set paramList [java::new oracle.owb.samples.CaptureParams "OWB Dimensional Design" "Do you want to create a cube?" "Yes" "No"]
Like the example above the 'okButton'/'cancelButton' methods can be used to query the button that was selected.
Thanks,
Mark.

Make System.in read input from a command prompt

How can i make System.in read input from a command prompt which is opened after program
is started. Please note that program starts without commad promt. Can u plz help?
sharmila

System.in DOES read from the command shell that you start the app in.
What you don't have is a prompt.
You should know about Java Almanac. There are code samples for simple things like I/O that everyone should know about. There's an example there to help you.

How to control user input with a button?

How do I control a user input from a dialog box by activating it with a button. I am saying "press zero", then when the user does press zero, it should zero the scale.

The user has only one button they can press. You should enable the cancel so that the dialog can output an F.
What you have works, but the zero will not occur until the case is activated. If the insides of the case do not work, that is another story. Put a pop up in the active case to convince yourself that the case is being entered.
This, what you have, always returns T.

How to get user input to keep in array in the form of int[]?

I really want to know how to get user input to keep in an array. Or if it's impossible, can i use the value in "int" and transfer it to an array?

What I understand is that you want to set an input from the user in an array of int.
Here is how it work:
1. Create a stream and a buffer to get and store the informations entered by the user:
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
2. Set this input in a String:
String input = stdin.readLine();
3. Set this string in an int:
int userInput = Integer.parseInt(input);
4. Then you can put this int in the array.
Warning this code throws IOExceptions and NumberFormatException ( when you try to set letters as int ). But you can catch them easily.

How to judge a input from client is integer or not?

I got clients' input from DOS command line with readLine();
how can I judge if it is a integer and give client a alert if it is not?
Thanks a lot!

Thank you!
I tried
try {
     Integer.parseInt(str);
     catch(NumberFormatException e) {
     System.out.println("this is not a number");
}but the program is breaken after a exception is thrown.what can I do if I want contine to give clients another chance to input?
And if I use
if(!Character.isDigit(char)) ...
if that char is what I got from clients?
for example
if(!Character.isDigit(str)) ? But what I got from clients is String but not char.
Thanks again!

User input from pl/sql

How could I get user input from a pl/sql block?
Hope that somebody can help me.
thanx
Amelio.

There is a package DBMS_LOCK that has a SLEEP routine, which suspends the session for a given period of time (in seconds).
However, you can only pause the procedure and not accept user input into the procedure during the pause.
syntax: DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP(1) ;
I need only to run an 'pause' or something like that within a pl/sql block. Do you know if it's possible? Thanks.
