How to check multiple special characters in this query.

When the master_title has no comma in it, I am getting an empty master_title. This is because INSTR(master_title,',',1,1) is returning 0.
In addition, I want to be able to specify other characters besides the comma. Example: ":" "/" "-".
Can we fit these options in the INSTR to look for them as well?
Query given below.
SELECT DISTINCT e.brm_id, SUBSTR(master_title,1,INSTR(master_title,',',1,1)-1) master_title
FROM e_m_view e
WHERE e.asset_dist LIKE'%WBPI Germany%'
OR e.asset_dist LIKE '%krupp%'
OR e.asset_dist IN (SELECT FN_SETRPTG(FN_GETPIREGN('%WBPI%')) FROM dual)
AND e.kl='Live' AND NVL(wbpi_publish_date,SYSDATE) <= SYSDATE
ORDER BY 2 ASC;

Check on special characters

In my program, on the selection screen a user can enter any variable except special characters.How can I put a check on special characters??

hi,
In our key board, these many special characters present..
so try your code like this..
data: spe_char(31) value '~`!@#$%^&*()_+-=\|][{}";:,./?><'. ( include all
special chars whatever u want)
spe_char1 value ' '. ( this is to check empty space)
spechar2. (this is to check single ' ).
Create one text element and assign ' as value to that text element.
in ur program code as given below.
spechar2 = text-001.
if (fieldname) CA spe_char.
MESSAGE "special character is present in the given input
endif.
if ( fieldname) CA spe_char1.
message "special character is present in the given input
endif.
if (fieldname) CA spe_char2.
len = strlen( fieldname ).
if sy-fdpos NE len.
message "special character is present in the given input
endif.
endif.
Hope this code will guide you ..

How can I display special characters of NonEuropean languages (French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.) using import string mechanism

I would like to translate the User Interface of my application to French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
When I put special characters in the import string file they showed up as ? (question mark)
The import strings file includes the following parameters for each string: font, text, size and style. (but no field for script)
In order to use a unicode font such as Arial I need to select a french script. But this option is not supported bu LabView (As far as I saw)
A) Is there a font which is directly German/ French etc and not regula font + script parameter?
B) Are there another required step
s for special characters support? (When I put speciual characters in the import string file the showed up as ? question mark)

This was discussed last week in this group- read the previous messages.
Look for the thread "Foreign Languages in Labview"
And recite the mantra
ActiveX is good
ActiveX is holy
All Hail Bill
Those who claim otherwise are heretics and not to be trusted
Actually, in this case the non-ActiveX suggestions may be good.

How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?

How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?
I have a few large documents written in word 2003 format and now I work on them under word 2007.
Such large documents containing lots of special characters. I want to change them into Microsoft 3.0 equation form（It is required by the team). I find no way but using function AddOLEObject and Sendkeys through VBA. Common characters can be added
to equation by function Sendkeys, but the return value of Asc() or AscW() for "double arrow", "in" , " not greater than " such special characters or signs, to name but a few are the same ,i.e., 40 And I cannot distinguish them.
I found the link http://msdn.itags.org/word/44333/ may be of use to me, and the title is:
How to read symbols from a DOC documents! (Microsoft Word)
the original question is
Using function "InsertSymbol", I can insert a symbol into a document. But
how can I read a symbol from a document?
Using "Characters(i).range.text", I can read a char. But when meeting a
symbol, the value of "Characters(i).range.text" is always '('.How can I get the CharacterNumber of the symbol.
And the final answer is :
Hi chenfeng,
Word protects symbols from symbol fonts if you insert them from the "Insert
> Symbol" dialog.
This is done so they aren't changed when you change the font or style. But
it also results in Word reporting AscW( ) = 40 on all of them.
I've posted a macro to "unprotect" them (or to protect them again if you
want) ... just today again in

How do you insert special characters with imovie 08?

How do you insert special characters into a project
with imovie 08?

Don't think that would work. Since my "system date" is already set at 2007. I have 2 imports, one has the year as 2048, and the other at 2016!! I don't know where they are getting these dates from, but they are not the system date.
Were the files imported directly from a camcorder or from files already on your hard drive? In the first case the year may have been taken from the time "stamp" recorded when the footage was shot (which may or may not have been correctly set by the user). On the other hand, files imported from the hard drive seem to be keyed to the date the imported file is written to the "Events" folder which, of course, reflects the current system time/date setting. That's why I said you had to then import (re-import) the files from a hard drive source -- i.e., to ensure the DTG would be re-written.

Checking for Special Characters

I need to check if a textbox in my form containes special characters (entered by user). If there are any, I need to display an error message.
I have written a function but it's not working.
here's my function:
function checkForSpecialChracters(oFiled)
var userInput = oFiled.rawValue; // take the String entered by the user
var iChars = "@#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_";
for (var i = 0; i < userInput.length; i++)
if (iChars.indexOf(userInput.charAt(i)) != -1) {
xfa.host.messageBox("Please check for special characters. The following characters are not allowed: @#$%^&*+=-[]\\\';,./{}|\":<>?~_ ", "Error Message", 3);
// Change the color of the field
oFiled.fillColor = "255,100,50";
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Paul,
It is working now. I don't know what I might have changed.

if (iChars.indexOf(userInput.charAt(i)) != -1)
hasSpecialCharacter = true;
break;
} // end if
} // end For loop

// Change the color of the field
oFiled.fillColor = "255,100,50";

How to get multiple records using fn-bea:execute-sql()

Hi,
I created Proxy service(ALSB3.0) to get records from DB table. I have used Xquery function(fn-bea:execute-sql()). Using simple SQL query I got single record, but my table having multiple records. Please suggest how to get multiple records using fn-bea:execute-sql() and how to assign them in ALSB variable.
Regards,
Nagaraju
Edited by: user10373980 on Sep 29, 2008 6:11 AM

Hi,
Am facing the same issue stated above that I couldnt get all the records in the table that am querying in the Proxyservice.
For example:
fn-bea:execute-sql('EsbDataSource', 'student', 'select Name from StudentList' ) is the query that am using to fetch the records from the table called StudentList which contains more than one records like
Id Name
01 XXX
02 YYY
03 ZZZ
I tried to assign the result of the above query in a variable and while trying to log the variable, I can see the below
<student>
<Name>XXX</Name>
</student>
I want to have all the records from my table in xml format but it's not coming up. I get the value only from the first row of my table.
Please suggest.

How to retrieve multiple columns using "returning" in the Insert query.

hi,
wanted to know how to retrieve multiple columns using "returning" in the Insert Query.
For retrieving one column we write the query as follows:
Insert into TABLE values(1,2,3,4) returning COLUMN1 into PARAMETER
But can we retrive multiple columns in the same query?
am using oracle 10g and coding in .NET

Hi,
You can definetely get multiple values from a single query using the 'returning' clause.
Eg : insert into emp (empno, ename, job, deptno) values (7324,'ADAM','MARKETING',30) returning ename, deptno into var1, var2; PN : var1 & var2 to be declared as varchar2 & number respectively.
More insight into the 'RETURNING' clause in this link.

How to get second maximum salary from employee table(sql query)

how to get second maximum salary from employee table(sql query)

dude there is no matter of structure .........that user already said its from employee table ...............its basic table in sql and there is no need to specify the table structure
.........i think u got my point I think you are the one who didn't understand Sarma's point.
Give a man a fish and you feed him once. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him a life long.
>
and the query is
select max(sal) from emp where sal<(select max(sal)
from emp);
this will give the 2nd max salary from the emp tableBtw: You solution is bad, because it needs to scan and sort the table emp twice. And a better solution has been given already.

How to find the 'special characters' window

Hi,
Frequently I want to access the 'special characters' window, but when I click on the 'special characters' menu item the window does not appear. Sometimes I later find it on another screen (I use nine screens in Spaces), and sometimes can I see it on another screen using Expose, but when I go there it has disappeared. It seems a very fugitive tool, and in its way displays some cute, personality........ But I would love to know how to find it or to force it to appear on the same screen as the application from which I tried to open it!
all the best,
Jeremy Harbinson

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried what you suggest - in the International section of the System Preferences there is a tab labelled 'input menu' and there is a check box (which is checked) titled 'Show input menu in Menu bar'. Unchecking that removes a national flag from the the menu bar, checking it restores that flag. So far, so good. If a click on the flag, a drop down menu appears with 'Hide character palette' as an item - clicking this changes it state to 'Show character palette' but clicking this (several times) changes nothing else that I can see,
all the best,
Jeremy
